also finally got around to setting up my lovely new Sovol SV06! veryyyy excited, my last printer was a Solidoodle 3 from 2013 😅

any advice for good slicing software for Mac?

Continued thread

Came home to four neat little garden cane hats in the #3Dprinter :)

Combind with the four in the allotment that makes eight!

I'll be using these for some of the chillies too.

Must remember to buy string.

A recent project of mine has been to install a heated bed on my #3Dprinter. It went quite smoothly and it improved quite a lot the warping when I print #PLA. I used a solid-state relay that is kept in the bottom of the printer, inside a small box that I designed and printed myself. The results are very good! The warping is clearly reduced. It is not shown, but the wiring also contains a protection hearth wire for the aluminum plate. #3Dprinting #DIY #RepRap

#3DPrinter Problems, #BambuLab

The print head of my #X1Carbon has recently started banging hard against the back wall (or rather, against the folded metal sheet at the back wall) 🤔.
Cleaning the carbon axles and recalibrating the printer didn't help in the search for the cause, nor did the internet.

Until the epiphany came 💡
I recently carried out a skew correction and, as recommended by Bambu Lab, inserted the measured values into the machine's G-code:
M1005 X150.05 Y149.65 ; Skew correction
M500 ; save the values permanently

The solution to the puzzle:

The X value is greater than the Y value for the entered skew correction., i.e. Y movements are corrected upwards - ergo the distance that the print head travels from the front left corner (reference) to the position near the filament cleaner (very close to the rear wall) increases -> leads to impacts against the wall / bended metal sheet because the print head wants to travel further than it can.
🤦‍♂️

Changing the G-Code to
M1005 X150 Y150
M500
and the "head bang" problem was gone. 🤷‍♂️
No problem if the Y-value for skew correction is bigger than the X-value, but do not do a skew correction if X > Y !!!

Maybe it will help someone.

@3dprinting

You know, if you want to sell the idea that people aren't buying 3D printers to make weapons, it seems like showing a 3D printed gun on your website probably isn't the best approach.

It's probably meant to be a toy. But toy guns should have an orange muzzle. People are already worried about ghost guns, especially after one gained prominence very recently.

Sunday 05:58
So much looking forward this morning to pray and worship with CenterPointe Christian Church - https://mycpointe.com/

Then I head to the kitchen to set up the Communion cups.
Prayer circle is at 09:00
During which I will start to greet everyone at the front door, and shall do so for both 09:30 and 11:00 services.
If needed the Connection Team Leader shall ask me to assist with distributing the Communion.
Arianna shall join us for the start of either service.
Please feel free to do so. Anyone around the world may join us online at 11:00.
#Church #Prayer #Worship #Communion

Yesterday I completed typing up Ephesians chapters 4 & 5 for MissionAssist, and sent them to my group leader. Now awaiting the next batch. #Bible #MissionAssist https://missionassist.org.uk/

Arianna has been busy setting up, configuring, and testing her brand new 3D Printer, a birthday gift of her own choosing. If you require further information please ask. #3DPrinter

Hoping that you have a most blessed and excellent day.
