FYI: Voyager has this too.

Haha indeed!

It’s funny when it starts to just invent things. Like packages, with version number!, that… do not exists…

Or when it outputs code without using the variables …

The most annoying thing is imho that it keeps explaining everything al the time. Even when I prompt “you have a working app with vuejs…” and others it sometimes still explains how to setup the app.

That said: the tool has become a staple in my workflow whenever I need a starting point. Or have to do some math algorithmic things

Just my 2 cents but yeah that’s basically it.

🤔

… maybe drop Prusa Support a note with your question. Ask them what they would recommend. Just to get their opinion. Imho can’t hurt!

If you can safely move it without disassemble, I think the re-calibration would be minimal.

—- Disclaimer: I have never done this. Although I believe this is going to be ok, I’m not responsible.

Imho that axis is the backbone of the whole unit.

Personally I would not do that: you will disable the whole thing. And while it then can be packed in a flat back I cannot image it will not come at a big cost of stability and loose thingies after doing this over and over.

I would just put in one of those really useful boxes, make sure the bed and other axes cannot move to spare the stepper motors. I image myself using towels or clothes to do this, you know thing that I would have to move anyway.

That said: it’s a great machine at a good price point. You’ll have lots of fun with it!

Filters are missing as well? Probably related

Tested again: fine in wpa, broken in app

Is it me? Or does “mark read on scroll” seems to be broken? Worked fine in the wpa — for me the most awesome feature voyager has

I’ve experience with 2 printers: Ender 3 orig and the prusa mini. Of those 2 the prusa wins. It wins on every front but certainly space/portability.

If you find a box that fits it, pad it a bit. I can see this totally working if handled with care. You can lift the thing with one hand steadily with the z motor. Spools with the holder are going in another box. 👌

Don’t buy an Ender 3 or something of the same category. These are only good to thinker with and brute force learn stuff. They absolutely do not travel well and take a lot, A LOT of space/money/time/frustration compared to the mini.

Same.

As someone who uses the actual rss feeds, reading the same feed without interaction is just … a waste of time. Clutter. Annoying even.

Like you said: I come here for the interaction and/or to find an interesting article someone found in a channel I’m unaware off. Not bot rss feed content.

The memes I don’t remember but … I’m old. And…

Reading this gave me an instant flashback of dropping my old Ericsson on a train and it just … lost all its parts! Man that was 😱

Yes I had to hunt for: the battery, the battery cover and the SIM card! In those days the latter was bigger than we have now but very expensive.

To be honest: hot swappable wasn’t all that cool or user friendly at all. You had the dropping issue, the dirt and grime got in the cracks causing it to loose contact. Just like a mouse ball back in the day. All that and … when it was time to change it, never found a replacement and the phone was just outdated anyway.

Now all those different chargers we had? That was the real nightmare. Man! Very glad that is solved, even with the mess usb-c is.

I fear this is again one of those rules politician’s make without any knowledge; or they just ignore reality. Per usual.

Fwiw: I was looking for a button on that screen. Running in circles and ended up looking in this community to find a solution…

Haha good one! I was wondering why that name sounded familiar and this is it.

Very good film to see… once and never ever unsee or forget the images, isn’t it?

Thanks, will do.

After I clean things a bit. after live adjusting tons I to think that 225C will be the good spot. and maybe to ‘quality’ setting instead of ‘speed’. The others have no problem with nice quality prints even on the speed settings, but what you said about the temp change and the reaction of the filament to this aka it being brittle and stuff like that… maybe its not suitable for faster printing on the Prusa Mini. I will test it again when the MK4 gets here, maybe that will be better.

That said: I do not think I will buy this brand again. hmm and I in fact just did! for the cleaning thing recommended by solarbird! LOL

It just that… I mean: I’m from the EU, which means the shipping from Prusa is affordable, and ColorFabb too. The last one is actually free for my country. The first was out of the colors I now asap need, the second still has a very very very shitty e-commerce site. but aside from a lot of frustration it kinda worked in the end. with a nice coupon to!

Although given the amount of people who are swearing by esun, maybe when I did dail it in I will change my mind a bit. It does have a good price point. I hope I get it good enough for certain prints and … secretly hoping: maybe for all … in a way that I do not have to think ;-)

Thanks!

This must be the case then, given others can print fine with this brand and are saying the same thing. somehow this filament has more issues. It threw me off guard because the others where printing still very good. Therefore I blamed the one thing that has changed: the filament brand.

I will clean with cleaning filament first, and then, after the backlog is printed; test it again before I disassemble. Thing is, idk about you, but I kinda got so used that the “mini just prints everything correctly no matter what I throw at it” that it kinda threw me off guard. And I actually lost some insights! Funny how our brain works isn’t it? 🤦‍♀️

So far I’m not a fan at all… I don’t think the stock Prusa mini and this filament are a good match. I had to live adjust a bunch b/c I suddenly had overextension and then under again. I’ve read that others having issues as well, something about the hotend not able to keep up. Maybe it will print better on the newer mk4…

It “prints” now but it’s not the quality I’m used to with Colorfabb or Prusament. Guess I’m going to need to finetune this and use it for more rough, own use, prints. At least it does print now 😙

Let see what the drying of 6h+ will do

I’m now testing with the yellow. That has been dried for 4h.

If I use the default preset from Prusaslicer the problem starts after the first layer. It then cools down from 215, 0 fan - to 210 with 84pt fan. I live adjusted these values, I think I found the sweet spot: it’s very high, I’m now printing at 230 nozzle, 60 bed, 100 speed and 84 fan. I tinkered with the fan some but decided to leave that and upped the temp.

It seems like it was a temp issue after all. I think I got so used to the very good profiles in Prusaslicer, and with the heat/shitty week I couldn’t think straight 🤪

Maybe it’s something with the mini as well that it cools down to quickly for this filament. Could have been a combination: a bit to wet, needing the higher temps, it has now been in the dryer for 4h I will leave the others for 6. (At. 45c) and see if that changes anything.

Either way I’m glad it does print now. Even if the temp to me is very high. That said I’m only used to normal pla and petg. My week already felt better and this tops it as well. Just the thought of the money wasted… well things where learned so there is that 😉

I will let you guys now for sure! Just talking about this helped a ton! I’m a long time Reddit user but man, I so far I really do love the peoples that moved to Lemmy way more 🤟

I thought so first too, but then I tested with Colorfabb and that printed fine. This is what he does now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--gi48ZBEKtiFpS5eMzb4E33fSB9xVF2/view?usp=sharing … perfect printing! I didn’t do anything other than changing the filament.

yes it is the same model, but a different file. And I did test this file with the esun as well b/c this economic PLA needs some higher temps. same results.

I tested blue today and this is what the printer sounds like: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--GQhX2GFcpsEfimN5OlavTZ4QnUrfAd/view?usp=sharing if you look on the right you can see that he imho has no grip on the filament, the blue does not move.

the first layer was ok this time. I first thought it was the speed but when I changed that it’s the same after a while. it’s like the constant movement that is the issue. grip ? what do you think?

My first printer was an Ender v1, gifted it to my dad. I wish it wouldn’t JUST have issues with printing (again) so I could try it in that one, but well … it has been a … challenging week. That printer is completely out of commission right now. I think the heatwave we have had last week took a victim. at least for now. It certainly not the weather to thinker with him… and to be honest Idk if I will, given we will invest in an MK4 soon. Think the Ender had has run it’s course 🫡

anyway let just hope the drying works. I had such different experience with the colours that I have some hope. I just wish I only bought 1 to start and not … 5… 🤦‍♀️

You guys saying “it works fine for me” gives me hope! :)

From what I remember it was 215 first and then 210 other layers. But I tried tweaking when printing and didn’t notice a difference. It was like the extruder could not grasp the filament correctly. I even tested with the speed but it kept clicking, its like it couldn’t grasp it

That said the yellow was good for the first layer, but then the green was a complete NO. I am now drying the yellow and hope it will print.

I never had to dry filament before. This is the dryest room in my home and we do not live in a “wet air” climate. EU, Belgium. at least not anymore, and not inside. Never had any issues … except now with this Chinese PLA.

we’ll see 🤞

That said I’m using the default profile for the filament from Prusa. Gotten so used to “it just works” I kinda forgot that … well to tweak more. lol

What temps do you use?
