01:12 Jak_o_Shadows That's interesting.
01:13 Jak_o_Shadows Good bed adhesion though
09:35 rue_house ?
09:36 rue_house is that intentional?
09:38 rue_house if not, has to be a problemw ith the extruder
09:38 rue_house so I'd look at how fast your printing and what your head temp is
09:41 orlock yeah
11:23 eBear is interes
11:23 theBear but poor bed adhesion
11:29 armyofevilrobo-1 orlock; that looks a lot like underextrusion from slippage on the drive system. Could be caused by the x axis movement tugging hard on the filament feed, too fast with too much extrusion jamming up the hot-end temporarily (can’t melt fast enough). Could be other things.
11:30 theBear hehe you said tugging hard
14:48 Hyratel has anyone here ever tried modifying a potentiometer for short sweep? I know someone who is looking into the idea for a build.
15:14 Anniepoo whats short sweep?
21:31 rue_house Hyratel, like, the whole range over a short angle?
21:32 rue_house you can scratch the coating
21:33 Hyratel figured out I could use conductive paint instead
21:33 Hyratel more precise control
22:15 armyofevilrobots WOO! First single layer print out of powderbed printer :D
22:26 rue_house :)
22:27 rue_house armyofevilrobots, when is our maker faire?
22:27 armyofevilrobots May… something.
22:27 armyofevilrobots One sec.
22:27 armyofevilrobots We have Dougall Park and the Kinsmen Hall reserved for May 31st.
22:28 rue_house ok, 31st
22:28 e_house marks the calan
22:32 rue_house "I made them just the way you like" "thankyou!" "accept were out of butter, so I substituted with extra salt" *chough* choke "... so you did..."
23:05 armyofevilrobots Damn, just demolished my Z axis tension springs. Figured they were under-K.
