It was out of mind until I got this new build plate with a fancy texture that I want to imprint on my prints.

This is PLA, I can’t get PETG to stick to the “PEO” bed plate.
Thanks, now I’m hungry
I tried adjusting the z offset to raise the nozzle, but it didn’t help.
My bl-touch mount broke so I’ve been doing manual bed leveling for a while. I just finished printing a 185x185mm part (half of a dactyl keyboard) and the first layer looked great from the top.
Edit: I also deleted the old bed mesh from my klipper config when the bl-touch broke
40/200 looks the same as 60/220. I can try 60/210 but I don’t think it will be any different.
It’s hot - 60 bed, 220 nozzle. I’ll try 40/200
Layer adhesion is great.
No, this pattern isn’t coming from the bed. The bed actually has a polygon pattern that I’m trying to get the plastic to pick up. Sellers on Amazon/ebay/Ali are calling it PEO, but it’s really just PEI with a fine texture that diffracts light. The pattern from the bed comes through really well on the perimeter of anything I print, but not the center.
I forgot to mention, but I also played with the extrusion multiplier (both directions) and it didn’t make a difference. I’ve also gone through the klipper docs and TeachingTech’s calibration guide, the printer is fairly well calibrated at this point.
If you need to replace a cheap nozzle after each medium-sized print with abrasive filament, then I’m thinking print quality will suffer towards the end of a larger print (like >250g, but definitely >1kg). Not having to replace nozzles mid-print makes the $70 nozzle seem like a better deal. Depending on what you print and how much you print, of course.
There aren’t any alternatives that follow the RPi’s original mission, they’re all for-profit. And I’m not sure you’ll find a more affordable board than the $15 Pi Zero 2.
I’m not sure I fully understood, but it sounds like you have several concerns with their competition? And those concerns are around asking people to design things that are potentially unsafe, giving bad advice for selecting materials, and awarding prize money to submissions by Prusa employees?
None of my mobile devices are “necessary,” though. Honestly, I could live just fine without an internet connection. Not that I’d enjoy it, but that’s not necessary.
“Necessary” is a little ambiguous. You could argue that wifi is unnecessary for a normal home network.
Here’s my use-case, I’m pretty sure the first 2 are pretty common (common enough to be supported by most OEM firmware):
Openwrt works great for gigabit networks with simple firewall rules and no IPS. But used 10-56gbps enterprise equipment is getting pretty cheap, and more complicated firewall configurations need more powerful hardware than the typical openwrt router.
And 56gbps on a home LAN might be overkill, but that’s not important.
Why does it need to be underground? If it’s processed into lumber (for houses, etc) the carbon is still removed from the atmosphere, it’s it not?
so, still prone to eventual catastrophic failure ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Everything will fail eventually, the question is how long it will take and more importantly if the failure can be predicted.
I tried printing a disk with the bed at 70c and it looks better. Going to try with it even higher. This sheet has a +0.350 z offset compared to my normal PEI sheet, so that might contribute to low heat conduction.
