Lol are they high or sth? 16.99€ is more than a spool of PETG. If it's on sale you sometimes can even get almost 2kg of PLA+ for that price.

Which you can use to print your own reusable spools.

On your 3D printer you obviously have.

Where do they take that overblown price from?

Got a somewhat interesting (and of course annoying) case of electrical interference.

I can't properly put the USB cables connecting the OrangePi (little pink box) to the printers in the cable channels on the right. Once I do the connection randomly fails, causing Klipper to abort anything it currently does.

I do wonder which cable causes it, or if it's a combination of the power cable, HDMI and all the other USB being bundled so rightly. 🤔

Diese Schraubklemmen, um den Durchfluss meines Balkonbewässerungssystems stufenlos regeln zu können, sind bestimmt nicht mein schönstes 3D-Modell aller Zeit, aber mit Sicherheit mein schnellstes. Ca. 2 Minuten saß ich da dran. Und die Pflanzen sollten nicht verdursten, während ich bei der #bornhack bin. #3dprinting

The best microcontroller thing I did last year was build this little kit that fits in a 3D printed rugged box and covers close to 90% of things I need to deal with for the products I sell & support.

I can easily throw it in my bag when I'm on the road, otherwise it sits on my desk where I can quickly grab it to test something.

#3DPrinter Problems, #BambuLab

The print head of my #X1Carbon has recently started banging hard against the back wall (or rather, against the folded metal sheet at the back wall) 🤔.
Cleaning the carbon axles and recalibrating the printer didn't help in the search for the cause, nor did the internet.

Until the epiphany came 💡
I recently carried out a skew correction and, as recommended by Bambu Lab, inserted the measured values into the machine's G-code:
M1005 X150.05 Y149.65 ; Skew correction
M500 ; save the values permanently

The solution to the puzzle:

The X value is greater than the Y value for the entered skew correction., i.e. Y movements are corrected upwards - ergo the distance that the print head travels from the front left corner (reference) to the position near the filament cleaner (very close to the rear wall) increases -> leads to impacts against the wall / bended metal sheet because the print head wants to travel further than it can.
🤦‍♂️

Changing the G-Code to
M1005 X150 Y150
M500
and the "head bang" problem was gone. 🤷‍♂️
No problem if the Y-value for skew correction is bigger than the X-value, but do not do a skew correction if X > Y !!!

Maybe it will help someone.

Gantry-slinger – a printer where the y-axis it made by moving the xz gantry instead of the bed.
CoreXYZ – just move the gantry in z like normal people but use a super complicated belt path and three motors
Biblically accurate idex – each nozzle reaches only a few square centimetres but there are like 100
