Came here from reddit, this place is pretty chill, I think I’ll stick around.
My friend, you have nothing to worry about. Try 6 printers and over 150 spools…
Glad it’s not just me. I can’t even log in on liftoff anymore for some reason, just sits there loading forever. Tried clearing cache and data and reinstalling to no avail.
This list looks about right to me
I built an LDO Voron v2.4 kit and it’s amazing. It Prints multiple times faster than any other Printer I own at noticably better quality. It wasn’t cheap, and took a while to finish. But it was worth it.
Yup, I have a bunch of lemmy apps on my phone, but lately I have found myself using Liftoff the most, and Jerboa is probably second in my opinion.
Same here. I subscribed to release notifications over on github too.
Yeah I almost forgot about that. I’ve also noticed lately that whenever you post a comment it appears twice as if you double posted, but in reality there’s only one comment.
I’ve tried just about all of the current apps that are available for lemmy over the last two days and so far liftoff feels the most like a usable app to me. To ve fair, I know that a lot of rhe apps I tried are still in alpha or beta, so I’m not trying to talk bad about them, I get it. Liftoff is pretty good though.
Well said. I’ve been using fusion 360 for a few years now, but have to admit that I only recently began working on properly constraining my sketches. I didn’t realize how many issues it was causing me until I began doing it right and stopped having said issues.
I think personally, I would also add a step to this process which would be to take a picture of the geometry in question with a ruler right up against it (to be able to scale the reference image in fusion). It probably won’t be perfect, but I think it does help as a starting point that you can then make adjustments to as needed.
I recently bought a 3d scanner, so I’m curious to start using that to scan in reference geometry. Should be interesting.
What I am about to say will probably go against what at least a few people on here will say, but I’ve been printing PETg (and PLA, ABS, tpu, etc…) for about 5 years now on 6 different machines. It all started where you are now, on a stock (besides a microswiss hotend) ender 3 and a glass bed.
For me PETg Prints as easily as PLA every time by following these guidelines.
Temp: I print PETg at 245° first layer and 240° after that. I run 75° on all of my beds with PEI sheets and have great adhesion.
Part Cooling: PETg doesn’t tolerate part cooling as well as PLA. I run my 5015 setups at about 30% fan speed which delivers a good balance of print quality and strength.
It should also be noted that you should really invest in an all metal hotend when printing above above 230°C. The PTFE tubing in the stock lined creality hotendt begins to break down above this temp and puts off some really bad chemicals, like chemicals that are said to eat holes in your brain amd stuff… Also, you will have less headaches with an all metal hotend, just be sure to lower your retraction accordingly.
Well, this has turned into a wall of text so I’m going to stop here. If anything I said doesn’t make sense justlet me know and I’ll be happy to clarify. Cheers.
