  • The falling prints i think have issues in the same spots, there are relatively small patches around the print surface that don’t print very well, though they don’t seem to correspond to the bed leveling screws or anything. Now that i say that I’ll have to check that I’m using the mesh level correctly when i get home.

    I’m still using a Bowden type extruder. The extruder itself is a generic aluminum one. My filament is run out of a sunlu dryer by the side of the machine.

    I think i actually raised the jerk at one point to reduce the radius on corners, so i can bring that back down again and experiment with acceleration.


  • I have a glass bed and I’m using the tramming function with the mriscoc firmware to give me depth readings for each of the four screws, and I usually reign them in to about 0.04mm range. Parts close to each other tend to have similar but not the same results, and i think the patches are too small to be from bed leveling, usually only a couple centimeters.

    I can redo esteps, i can see what you mean about the overextrusion. I only set my esteps to the number recommended by the manufacturer of my extruder, but i haven’t measured it myself yet, maybe that’s a bit silly of me. Though if that’s the problem then I’m still curious why it’s different in different areas.

    I can check out acceleration too, i looked up what acceleration and jerk meant at one point but it didn’t make much sense to me at the time.









  • God I’m gonna get downvoted to hell for this aren’t i, but i still want to know. What system would we replace capitalism with once it’s gone? True communism doesn’t really seem achievable given how it’s turned into something else every time we’ve tried it. Socialism seems a bit more reasonable as we have societies already with socialist structures in place (albeit coexisting with capitalist structures). Are there any other systems I’m unaware of that we would plan on implementing?

    We would need some plan, because if we were to put every business owner at the end of a rope it’d still leave something akin to a power vacuum. stuff would need to be created at that exact moment but the people hadn’t yet developed the structures to do so in the wake of the businesses who had done it before. A situation like that is just begging to reverse all of the work it took to get there. Capitalists and even probably feudalists would be itching to take up control over the means of production first chance they got. So what would we plan on implementing first, before they got the chance?
