  1. Yea, no kidding on the heavily abrasive part I've been printing with normal white filament for maybe a week or 2 now. i have had a couple really bag prints in giant clusters and clumps. despite that, print has continued to move forward. filament change seems to have done the trick. Thank you
  2. Its whatever nozzle came with the printer. I kept with the creality nozzles still though Didn't know glow in the dark affected it so much, since I went through a couple kg of that first before removing to white filament It's all PLA or PLA+ though.
  3. Recently I had an issue with my 3D printer. Today, I have a similar experience. Basically my printing kept failing. Issues included but not limited to the following - Print not sticking to board - Print warping - print clumping - Filament is stringing - Filament initial layer wall dragging Following steps for trouble shooting was done - Cleaning with soap - Wipe down with alcohol - Elmer Gluestick - Re doing the levelling/calibration/z offset - Redoing the design of the print - Slowing down the print Final last resort was switching out the nozzle and checking for clogs in the extruder, which ultimately resolved the issue This is the second time I've had to replace the nozzle, as the first time I had an issue, the nozzle replacement fixed the issue. I've had the printer for about a month I've done an average of one print every day or 2. Print times range from 30 min to 12 H Settings I generally customize (I don't think it should affect the route cause but who knows) Infill percent (20 to 70) Infill Type (Usually I use grid / honeycomb / cubic ) Build Plate adhesion is set to none Support used is Tree slim touching build plate at 15% On Occasion, I will use Enable Ironing Printer used is an Ender 3 V3 SE Please someone help me find out why my nozzle and only the nozzle is getting clogged enough that i should change it every couple weeks? Because that does not sound normal
  4. a couple meters at least for best case scenario, worse case, might be 10 to 15 meters. all the monitors are on a wall which doesnt help. for resolution, im expecting a minimun of 1080p roughly
  5. So basically, this box is probably useless and I should just go the route of a really long HDMI cable for each monitor?
  6. sorry, work term. station, i mean just desktop or laptop. that aside, .... I am missing a transmitter box then? any suggestions on what im actually looking for?
  7. while i was hoping for one station.... I did expect either multiple gpus or stations. however.. the issue isnt so much as the number of stations but rather how its currently set up. This was a setup left over by the previous tenant.. so all the monitors are wall attached. id like to avoid removing them from the wall if possible. every single monitor is (im assuming) connect with hdmi to one of these muxlab boxes. with eat one having a ethernet cable coming out of it. all these cables are then routed through the ceiling into the a corner of the room. (again, im assuming, since these cables are labelled monitor 1, monitor 2, etc) so with these ethernet cables, how do i connect it to a computer for viewing? just any ethernet port?
  8. We have 8 monitors that are connected so a Muxlab Prodigital HDMI/Bi-IR Extender Receiver ( Display side) the ways its set up right now is each monitor is connected through HDMI to one of these boxes, which then has a lan cable connected to it. I've never actually actually encountered these things before and not sure how it works. Specifically, assuming i have nothing else, how would i connect these to a single station?
  9. nozzle worked. printing was 99 % good. ty for the troubleshooting steps
  10. dont have a proper right angle ready. but i did check the bolts underneath. its 3 small bolts per side they were a tad loose. However, printing still failed. and then i changed the nozzle and simpler print design. i was a bit worried since the first try still failed, though it failed less? there was parts that showed that it was improving. so cleaned again. glue stick on. and print is 99% good so far on the first layer. there was a bit of stringing on the first corner. but i am satifisfied. ive got about 45 minutes till print end, so fingers crossed. if it works, im gonna keep a small supply of nozzle heads
  11. bed leveling stays mostly the same every time. its not exact, but generally within .1 change and... the blobbing,clumping and stringing is back. just in case, cleaned the plate. put glue on (thats why the bed looks like that) did the leveling, did the calibration then print leveling and calibration is done with a heated bed. as its printing, it kinda looks like the filament is dragging? should i try changing the nozzle next? not only that, when the initial layer goes decently well, eventually it gets to the point, where struts start stringing. (sorry, dont have a picture, but it looks like an upside down christmas tree drawing)
  12. ender 3 se has an autolevel function and auto z-offset and an optional calibration before print. Do i need to redo the level before every print? I almost always do the calibration before a print but still get the first layer being visibly less than perfect and kinda rough
  13. increase the heat, didnt help as much cleaned. then re did the leveling and offset notable improvement. Its not perfect. but it is a lot better than before. i did keep the increase in heat though, so not sure if that also had a difference
  14. I think my room is pretty warm. Since my my pc is also running in the same room, and im wearing a t-shirt. Material is PLA from overture. Temp is 205, bed plate 60 I completed a 6 pc build a couple days with minimal issue. initial layer had some trouble with the circle, at the time. I slowed the print down, for the first layer, and then ramped it back up to normal after but generally, even if i didnt, the circle would just have a couple string inside, that was easy to clear out
  15. I got a Ender 3 V3 SE about 1 week and half ago, and it was going really well.... until today, I started having issues where its been clumping. I tried cleaning thoroughly, with alcohol. redid the auto level did the calibration thing before the print. slowed down the initial layer to roughly 10 to 20 mm speed i noticed the clumping was getting worse and worse everytime i try. stringing seems to be geting worse as well Print seems to be dragging as well
  16. I'm wondering if there are any free options or sites where I can build a personal search engine for our team. Every 12 to 24 hours, our team creates a series of files that has a location that is attached to a second location. What i am looking for is a way for the other teams to be able to access a site, where they can type in location 1, which will then give them an answer for location 2. if possible it will even give them location 2 of the last couple days as well. I would like to be able to upload changes as needed. as the data can change at any time. so the ability to add changes mid operation would be beneficial. a plus would be the ability to add pictures and files for shared viewing as well but this would be optional. The reason i am looking at browser based is because many of our team is moving around and will usually only have access to a phone.
  17. however long it can hold it? maybe a decade or so? I intend to write a file to that drive once then just keep it there. until i need to replace the drive, by which point, it will a drive with a larger amount of space on it. since unraid maxes out at about 30 drives per array, i think, with 2 tb drives, ill get about 50 to 60 tb. that should last me for a bout 5 to 10 years at the rate im going. maybe longer im looking at this based on what im seeing on pcpartpicker, I'm probably looking at about $125 per tb. give or take a bit just wondering if i could go a bit lower in cost by using something from this list. after that its crucial or samsung as other options, but they cost a bit more per tb. not much at first, but it will add up after a dozen drives...
  18. I tried the hdd route. but this it just a home nas with unraid. so it will be in the room. Noise was bearable at the beginning, but when you start adding a couple more drives, noise starts to increase. ssd in comparison is basically silent. so noise was one issue i took into consideration for ssd over hdd rather than backup, its more of a file server dumping ground for me. I'd like to keep the file, but i dont need constant access to it. hence the periodic access every couple months. I wuold turn it on as needed, move files over, check a couple things, then shut it down. up time is usually a couple days long at once at most I... don't think i need it to last an armeggadon....thats why i was looking at something more consumer grade. so long as the file is there in case i need to acces it, then its fine. in theory, its write a file once, and i probably wont delete or move for a long time
  19. I'm looking to get a bunch of SSDs for my NAS, as my drives are starting to fill up again. For use case, I will be dumping several TB of data onto the drives maybe 2 or 3 times year. I dont need to access the file much afterwards except maybe every couple months. Not much will be deleted. so I'm assuming I wont be moving a file once its on the drive until half a decade later Would it be better if I went for something like samsung or crucial or something more well known or should i go for something like silicon power or PNY. I'll be aiming mostly to get 2 to 4 tb per drive right now. I'm mostly taking a glance at the drives shown from ca.partpicker.
  20. i actually picked up a 3080 last year since it was available for close to msrp but thanks
  21. please. sound is almost making me want to undo the entire loop, replace the pump
  22. I've also noticed another sound, similar to a ticking sound
  23. the sound disappears if i tilt the entire pc 45% forward. but since i cant leave it like that....
  24. I woke, up pump running at 100 %, sound was gone. I dropped the pump rpm to about 40%. sound came back full blast. it sound like a fan blade is hitting a cable except fans arent running
  25. I've just finished a new hardline loop, and putting it through the 24 hour test. I've set the pump to run at 100% for now, planning to lower it to less later. So far, Im about an hour 20 minutes in, and I'm still getting some sort of sound. the sound is somewhat quiet. but its somewhat similar to an old spinning mechanical hard drive or a cable hitting a fan blade. not quite grinding, and not quite rattling. sort of like a crackling. it started out fairly consistent. I thought it was air bubbles, so tilted the pc every way i could. its a o11 mini ekwb distro plate with a d5 pump. the tilting helped most of it. but there still some remaining. Sound is very faint in video. Any idea what it is, and what could help? Also, what percent of rpm should i set pump to? 20211029_235118.mp4
