  • So yes, sorta. I was having some weird underextrusion and binding with the extruder which made me think the nozzle was clogged so I cleaned it and did several cold pulls to no avail then the problem just sorta slowly stopped happening. I realize now it could have been inconsistencies in the filament (Inland PLA +) Right when I stopped printing I started to have issues with my parts not adhering to the bed at all, tried some solutions both in the slicer, glue, tape ect and leveled the bed a bunch of times, last time I did it I leveled it really close to the nozzle to the point that it was really smushing the first layer into the bed which caused prints to stick entirely too well so Im pretty sure I know where that problem lies but im looking to get a flexible magnetic bed anyways. I know a hot end and extruder really wouldnt affect that of course. I just love tinkering with it which is half the reason I want to upgrade. Just looking for a little nudge in a direction so I can do some tinkering but not so much tinkering that im not able to enjoy what im tinkering on.

    Funnily, my friend is practically giving me his old Ender 3 this week so Ill still have another printer to also mess around with. Who knows, I may build a Voron down the line.












  • a significant portion of my job is to moderate and provide first line direction of all the social media pages for a huge company that commissions my company. We dont do any marketing or real engagement just moderation and essentially telling people to reach out to customer service per big company’s poorly provided directions. I don’t particularly care much for big company’s product but ive seen some really nasty people with attitudes towards my and my coworkers as if we physically made and handed them a defective product. We do sympathize and understand a certain level of anger but there are some people who are just outright cunts. It doesent help that big company does big company things and barely has customer support so more of the anger is directed towards us social media people
