Dennis<p>lol, happened again.</p><p>I don’t think there’s anything actually wrong with the load cell, the printer just doesn’t bother to check where the bed is before beginning nozzle cleaning.</p><p>One of the forum threads suggests that it’s too much tension on the filament, so maybe it is checking, but getting an incorrect result. </p><p>When it gets to the actual “bed leveling” stage, it works fine. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Prusa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prusa</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PrusaMk4S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrusaMk4S</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis<p>First print: failed. It tried to clean the nozzle in mid-air.</p><p>Glad to see <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Prusa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prusa</span></a> firmware still has weird, unaccounted-for edge cases. On my Mini+, if you ran the leveling wizard multiple times in a row, it would forget where the bed was and make bad noises if you didn't tell it to home itself. </p><p>Second print went well. Turns out the Prusament PETG profile works for Polymaker PETG. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PrusaMk4S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrusaMk4S</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>

Torsten :verified: :verified:<p>I'd like to 3D print a clip that connects two metal tubes of a wheel chair.</p><p>My requirements to the material are:</p><p>1. it must be usable outdoors (UV light, rain)</p><p>2. it should be stable up to 20 kg weight</p><p>3. one clip should cost less than 30 Euros (about 45 cm3)</p><p>Metal sintering seems too expensive.

Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<p>The first print with the new multi material toolhead was Benchy, but I chopped it in half and printed the halves in different colors. <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a></p>
Dave<p>My first full plate, multi part print was done on my printer last night in just over 4 hours. 20 Jellyfish magnets for my wife to give to her students. Not a single issue with any of the 20, it just worked. I'm very much not used to being able to reliably print on a 3D printer like this.</p><p>Next up, a Kratos (from the God of War game series) figurine to display somewhere in my office...</p><p><a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Rook<p>I have to say, OctoEverywhere is amazing. Ai failure detection works super well and I tend to trust the AI when it says it's looking great. I definitely want to support the project once I can because <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/octoeverywhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>octoeverywhere</span></a> is amazing for <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a>.</p>

Rook<p>Well <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a> folks, it worked super well. I printed my own case for my phone as I needed one and didn't have one. Anyone know if TPU can be ironed for a smoother texture like PLA can? Other than that, I really like it and it's a functional print.</p>
