How do I stop blobbing on sharp corners with PETG? Using prusaslicer. I vaguely remember a setting for coasting or something, but even in cura I don't remember an option for just coasting on corners only, and in prusaslicer I can't see coasting at all.

At some point I'm going to want an enclosure, and the IKEA Lack seems practical and esthetic enough. But I've heard a lot of people have issues with mounting the PSU on the outside.

Install a clean version of cura and leave settings to standard, except speed and temp. Curas stock settings are pretty good these days.

Be carefull with printer calibration (steps etc.) only calibrate when you have a problem. Chances are that you fuck up the internal printer settings. Most printers come well enough calibrated from the factory.
Over and underextrustion can also be fixed in the slicer.

alright so pic related is the print with my old cura profil, it works "fine"
but fun things happened :
above the "15" and the "10" i've noticed some shifting on Y axis, i've checked the belt tension while printing, saw it wasnt tight at all so I've tightened it (while printing). It did print "fine" until "60" my fan stopped working and at the end, when the printing did a G28, the belt on my Y axis just broke

I recalibrated the e-steps-per-mm to 414, which appears to be correct, yet I'm getting symptoms that looks like underextrusion (wispy brims) while simultaneously seemingly pushing so much material that the stock hotend can't handle it.

Bump it 10C to 220 and see if it does a print. If that doesn't work try looking at if the extruder is properly seated and that the gear is properly tightened. If that is all ok see if the tubing is all the way in the hotend and that the tube is cut EXACTLY flush.

Also try a cold pull and see if you get a cone shaped piece of PLA out of that. If you can't cold pull the PLA, check the tubing as mentioned previously, you'll need to heat the hotend do all of it as well.

You can't really dimensionally measure this in a meaningful way with any device. You could do lengh vs weight or volume (sinking a defined length into a water tank and check the suppressed water)

An all this shit does not garantee anything regarding the next meter on the spool. So its a massive waste of time and nothing but internet 3D printing wank. Just adjust your flow when you have problems. If it's inconsistent switch the filament batch

Ovens usually have fairly high low-temps. So if you're unlucky the entire thing will just melt.

Something I did for a non 3D-print related project was to heat a pot of water on the stove (with a temperature meter to make sure it was the right temperature), take the thing that needed to be in a warm-ish temperature, put it in a thick plastic bag, and put it in the pot. I have no clue if it would work for a print. But worst case scenario you only ruin a pot, and not an entire oven.

>A oval pinched section has the same volume per centimeter as a round section

You are absolutely right, BUT a 3D printer feeds filament at its outer diameter. When you have an oval filament, extrusion would be very insonsistent because the extruder teeth grab at various effective diamenters to feed forward - even when the cross section surface area is consistent

nope your logic is flawed.
only diameter responsible for extruded length is the gear. Take a car wheel for example. If youre driving 100km/h your still driving 100km/h if the rode is 3m wider.
The filament diameter doesnt matter. extruded length would be the same for a 1.75mm or for example 3mm

>does not guarantee anything regarding the next meter
Both with volume tests and using calipers, if you wanted to verify the claim you'd use sampling. Assuming a mostly uniform manufacturing process (i.e. setting aside the possibility that they gave you half a spool with great tolerances and then started fucking up on the other half for no reason), there's probably some fixed number of samples you can take to get very high confidence results for any random point on the spool.
The consistency assumption might not hold between spools which could be from drastically separated batches, but if you do this for several spools and it's always great, again you can have confidence that their spools are consistent. Until and unless they change something about their manufacturing which would invalidate earlier samples, I guess. But this is how you would go about verifying their claims - a bit annoying but gives tangible confidence for reasonable effort, no need to e.g. unwrap an entire spool to measure its volume or anything.

Only when measured between two points, but that does not give information regarding the overall shape of the object. Given just a diameter perimeter it is considered a two point dimension ("Zweipunktmaß") meaning you can check it anywhere you want once and you are done with the measurment.
To gather the diameter of an object you need to apply a statistical mathematical model for various measurment points around the circumference. If you really want to go deep this model used to be the gaussian circle but EN ISO recently made the tschebycheff model mandatory.
This is why the ISO GPS measuring system should be applied in engineering, to describe shapes and not meaningless two-point dimensions.

This all boils down that you are not able to check a diameter in 0.02 tolerance with a fucking caliper or whatever two-point device you are using.

im trying to print a decorative dagger on an ender 3 but it gets wobbly at the tip because the material doesnt have time to cool before the next layer. i tried using lift head setting but that creates a ton of stringing. and if i have lift head disabled that also disables minimum layer time. i tried reducing temperature of the print from 200 to 185 and that doesnt change anything. any advice on that issue?

Best way would be to cast the face and sculpt it around the cast with clay. Later 3D scan the mask and repair/edit/make it printable.

But if you don't have access to all that shit and an expensive 3D scanner. What I would do (and have done, but the result was too large for my printer so never put the model to the test) is to find some random scanned face on the internet that's somewhat similar to the one you want should wear the mask. Measure the persons head and edit the scanned face to be somewhat accurate. Then model the mask around the face.

I don't think that's it. When I use M600 the printer extrudes like 100mm before resuming the print, and that plastic goes through fine, but for some fucking reason the instant it resumes printing it underextrudes. Even if I'm purging manually (pushing filament through) as it resumes it still happens, literally even if I'm pushing filament through while it's already resumed.

Filaments are basically all the same. If you're doing some really high-end printing you might invest a bit more in a specific brand famous for consistent diameter, or metal-fill PLAs, or plastics with better durability like PETG or nylon, but for the average guy who prints rubber band pistols off thingiverse or who prints and paints miniatures, PLA is going to be good enough for all scenarios and conveniently the easiest to use, and the difference between brands or the tiny flaws in chink brands makes no difference.

I was considering building the Prusa Lack enclosure. But I don't want to mount any part of the printer on the outside to make it easy to take it out, if necessary.

What do you guys think of a mod where you have two inwards acrylic walls with cut outs for the PSU? So can you just slide the printer in, but the PSU is still on the outside.

And I hope you can decipher my sketch.

Doubtful, most people still don't care to do that, and mass producing still has marked advantages. Even gathering 3D printing capability in a large centralised place makes economic sense (e.g. more expertise so less effort spent on maintenance, printers will be running close to 24/7 so more value out of the investment for one, etc.), so maybe we'll have print shops/farms getting much cheaper and more widely used for custom stuff, but I doubt printers will ever be a household item for anyone except hobbyists.

Someone's definitely made one of these, I saw it recently, but it's late and I can't pull it up at the moment. They had a little bit of ductwork to cool the PSU and electronics without interfering with the print, I think. Probably on Thingiverse or the Prusa repository, if you care to find it.

Wouldn't it be easier to just add some fans and flexible ventilation pipe/hose to PSU and electronics?
I think I did see people do that instead of throwing the electronics outside, just make an adapter that can attach to psu/electronics and make sure not to blow air on the print/lower temps too much. Flexible vent hoses/pipes are relatively cheap and you just need to drill a hole in acrylic/wood. I had to go for wooden walls of ikea lack table since acrylic for 4 sides would cost here over 100 eur.

It might work better. But I doubt it would be easier. I'd especially like to avoid adding any fans. It would be good to avoid any electrical components, to make less points of failure (and less effort). And since the PSU has air holes both on the side and back the air would come into the enclosure (blocking the back vents is probably a bad idea, unless you add a duct for them (more effort, and I'm lazy)), which I imagine might be an issue when printing more sensitive filaments.

Or make the lack enclosure possible to carry? Idk how it would fit a smaller car tho
I did make a lack enclosure but it's wobbly as hell, so instead I'll just drill the two lack tables onto existing wooden cabinet/drawer whish is made of full wood to reduce vibrations.

its guaranteed the psu shitting the bed
when the bed heats up it draws ~9A modulated, the hotend is fine because its just 1.6 on a 24v printer
want a ghetto fix?
turn the Voltage adjustor on the PSU down until you have 20v
This will get your bed current down by a lot
with a 220W bed your down to 160W, thats over a quarter less and maybe the psu can handle that. Heatup will take a lot longer and what suffers are your PID values, but im sure its enough to print something not pretty
