This is inappropriate on so many levels:

• If there are eyes and you touch them it’s wrong.
• If a person doesn’t have eyes touching where they are isn’t going to be a winning strategy either
• If you touch a file in Linux called eyes and create it people will be very confused
• If there’s already an existing file called eyes that’s disturbing. What? Why?

If it’s only overhangs then you may want to look at increasing the time between layers or increasing the part fan speed on overhangs.

This way there’s time for the layer before to solidify enough before adding more heat and melted plastic above it.

May not be it but it does have a kind of “overheated” look to it.

No need to feel like an idiot, I’ve done it too. Even looked up how to do some obscure thing only to find a link I’ve read before and comes out I have a bookmark for it from a year or so ago.

As for switching settings across objects I agree. I use these things when dialing in one setting across a range such as flow rate. Never for an entire print, though, since a failed print component is going to be dragged across others, etc.

Or the change in temp, flow, retraction, etc may cause strings, or blobs, etc. to affect the others when it’s printing the layers. Unless you’re doing one object at a time which presumes they’re small enough, etc. And even then it failing could mean what remains of the entire object may be dragged across hitting others. It’s just not worth the hassle.

It does show them thinking about processes which is a good mindset to have though.

Experience is a good teacher in this hobby.

Not per item “Profiles” but a lot of slicers let you do overrides.

For example you can override with per object settings in OrcaSlicer (and I presume Bambu). In Cura you can add settings that even apply to a box region (such as increasing infill in a certain weak part of a print or using adaptive layer height just as the top of some Conical shape)

Start with PLA since PETG can be finicky with moisture.

Garages are nice but try to keep drafts to a minimum. PLA is more forgiving there too.

Have fun tinkering and figuring it out. There’s just some skills you’ll acquire as you go. Slicer experience giving you an understanding of orientation for strength and/or to minimize the need for supports.

PLA is also cheap enough to just figure it out. You’ll have bad prints, regardless but you’ll also make some cool stuff too.

PETG has to be dry. I keep mine drying in my filament dryer when I’m printing it and then take it out and keep it sealed with dessicant when I’m not.

Stuff loved to absorb moisture like crazy and is super finicky when it has any moisture at all.

Unfortunately due to other matters I don’t have the bandwidth today.

Let’s schedule a follow-up to discuss for a later date so I can give this the focus it warrants.

Ah yes. When you need help call the SORA.

You’ll know it’s ok when you hear them arrive with a “Kachow!”

It wasn’t this part that tripped you up was it?

That’s unfortunate because good fences make good neighbors

Fourth rule… painters tape as bed surface will save your PEI sheets and holds PETG really well.

“…there’s a bomb strapped to my chest…” would probably not go over well in an airport

That’s a good way to put it.

I’d personally amend it to this though:

Math is the language we use to write pseudo-code for the rules of the universe. It allows us to reasonably predict and share/write our understanding of the universe.

The best algorithms then match with the actual universe even if the real thing doesn’t use the math (looking at you -1, infinite points and black holes)

No experience with these but I have seen some.

Basically you have 2 extruders and push the filament based on what’s needed.

You do need to purge the melt zone and I these don’t work well with different materials (PLA in one, ABS the other) because of PLA being too hot at ABS melt temps, etc.

As for these knockoffs if it’s cheap enough maybe but I can’t imagine the heat break being too good and it seems prone to jams.

Can’t focus on anything but highly adaptable to every scenario. Ha!

Reminds me of this… which is so perfectly animated with the constant shift in focus.

Please help us. Our village suffers raids every night.

Uh huh. But first, how many people live here?

And how many are attacking you?

And because the wire gauge is less than the wiring in the wall the breaker won’t trip before it reaches the point where it’s overloaded either.

Possibly to deal with the ozone things like this can produce.
