    probably similar to the issue he talks about here: View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qLgfqkcPNjc notice how the issue starts when you stop having a continuous wall (and then does it more once you have even more wall segments)? its probably temperature and/or layer time related.

    if you're building a voron 2.4 with tap, and are considering going with stealthchanger for toolchanging in the future, you can consider just using the stealthchanger backplate & shuttle instead of the linear rail, to save having to rebuild it later.

    It's common to rotate belt printers 90 degrees and wall mount them (hurray for French cleats) so you don't have to support the print when its a lot longer than the belt, and then you would only need to enclose the top and sides and can leave the bottom open, since heat rises.

    It appears this is a more advanced version of splitting than included with most slicers, with automation, customizable tenon shapes and auto debossing (embossing?) of coordinates into the split faces to help later assembly. I.e. if you only split things a couple times a year, not needed. If you...

    Petg is very sticky when hot, so any amount of over extrusion on the first layer, the side of the nozzle will scrape up and accumulate and eventually drop boogers on later layers. Usual tips for petg: you may need to offset your nozzle on the first layer a tiny bit higher (orca and similar have...

    https://www.snapmaker.com/en/snapmaker-u1 the mechanism looks similar to/inspired by how the prusa XL changes tool heads, by moving sideways to engage/disengage a sliding lock/latch system.

    some filaments will bond with PEI surfaces (or some of the other typical bed surfaces), so the glue stick acts more as an interface layer than an adhesion promoter, so you don't take the bed surface with. that said, i mostly print in ABS/ASA so anything to help the first layer adhere is welcome.

    Looking at Framework’s progress on software support for its repairable laptops

    Iirc, nirav mentioned that amd did try making a version that used lpcamm2 but it had a huge performance hit - "One tradeoff on the memory though is that fanning out that giant 256-bit memory bus requires the LPDDR5x to be soldered. When we learned about Ryzen AI Max, our first question for AMD...

    looks like the formbot kit comes with tap & canbus already, so those are good first steps towards a stealthchanger multi-toolhead setup (you could even buy a fysetc or ldo cnc shuttle kit & skip the linear rail for tap)

    i find that style occasionally needs that ptfe sleeve replaced (more often if you print above ~230c as the quality of ptfe used in most of the liners isn't super great), and when you do so, make sure the end touching the nozzle is cut perfectly square (or better yet, replace it with an all metal...
