  • More lightweight = faster and more content on the screen? Nowadays cool looking websites are slow and with 25% margin on both sides.

    I feel the same all annoyed for example when doing some extensive search on PC vs mobile. No matter if it’s a shopping hunt on ebay or gathering information. On PC i scroll-click 10 links, iterate through them, Ctrl+w the ones being useless and chosing/read betwend the ones left. Something unclear? Double Ctrl+C and deepl pops up with a translation.

    5min on PC vs 20min on mobile, where I have to click each link, fight those pop ups and cookies consent, go back, wait anoyingly long 2 second webpage loads and repeat.




  • Reddit is/was great, to search a term in Google with your problem/need of advice, and you had a great lecture of people’s opinions that had a similar situation as yours. Sure, there could be paid bots or options about some products, but it was a great start to make your own point of view instead of going through dozens of useless bot-written websites being promoted at top of the search results.





  • Yesterday after another hour or so I think the printer is back on rails.

    • previously my retraction was something from PrusaSlicer defaults so like 5-6mm, now 3,5mm
    • I changed the nozzle to a new 0,4mm which gave good results right away (cleaner first layer and no colision by the nozzle with the lower layer)
    • an IPA clean mentioned in previous comment worked great. Still one layer of paper-glue stick is used and is helpful
    • I leveled the bed with some margin. I always leveled it to fill good friction with the piece of paper, but now, right when the friction starts i loosen the know/spring half of a degree just that the friction is gone.

    Gave Cura an another try with this one: https://lensdump.com/a/9ZGlC first successful print from the start of this post

    • flow 0,9 and initial layer flow 1,01. In PrusaSlicer it was 0,95 I think
    • layer height 0,2
    • initial layer height 0,2
    • Z-hop 0,3 (sadly had to use it to avoid hitting the previous layer
    • top/bottom layer pattern = concentric
    • infill 20%
    • printing and initial nozzle temp = 210*C
    • printing bed temp 60C, and initial 65C
    • print speed 40mm/s, and top/bottom print speed 10mm/s
    • retraction enabled with 3,5mm distance
    • brim on
    • Travel Tab: ENABLED: retraction, retract at layer change, z-hop when retracted, z-hop only on printed parts. Yet to try combing mode
    • infill pattern = cubic

    second successful print (Cura too): https://lensdump.com/a/9ZaX5 :

    • only changed initial layer height = 0,15mm
    • the print-initial nozzle clean at the bed edge still sometimes gets dragged to the center but it happens partially or doesn’t mess the print and I can pick it up after brim is printed

    third successful print (PrusaSlicer gave me warnings about supports needed, but Cira didn’t):

    BTW. Its printing this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5193117

    Tips/ovservarions welcome and thanks everyone for the comments which I’ve read and gave me ideas what to check/google <3
