Ok, but where do I put the ink?

The reason that in the middle is happening is that the temperature is wrong, judging by the inconsistent thickness of extruded material and lack of adhesion. If it’s a high heat filament like PETG then the printer might be stopping and resetting because its got a heat sensor with a low upper limit.

For that one you need an old priest and a young priest.

Two printers were fighting for the same bed (one with black filament and one with white). Obviously the black printer won and finished the print perfectly.

Pretty much all the reasons I can’t stand most 3D Printing communities on the internet. Too much basic troubleshooting answered dozens of times already and not enough cool projects.

I bitched at someone on reddit about that once… Asked a similar common question and so I asked them if they even bothered LOOKING at the sub before they posted because that exact question had already been asked three times that day! There’s being lazy, and then there’s crap like this.

Make a wiki, point people at the wiki, I suppose.

One thing I did like about Reddit was the wiki feature.

Could have a bot that links to a git wiki, or even just a sidebar with knowledge base stuff would be nice for that.

all very accurate but I want to add that eveb if you want to resin print in your bedroom you wont be able to. It’s not only that it’s toxic but the smell is so strong that, at least for me, it’s impossible to be around it. My printer is outside in the garage and when it’s printing you can still smell it inside the house. I can feel my cells mutating in real time

And the hounding if you don’t get a Bambu. Somehow “Bambu printing” and “3D printing” seem to be two different things now, given the cult-like fervor.

I want to hound people for getting a Bambu. Look at the bullshit we’re dealing with on 2D printers because they aren’t open source with standard parts.

Where do you see that?

While good printers, the amount of waste those Bambus produce just don’t make them feasible in my eyes. If you use 4 colours, they waste about 44cm of filament while you haven’t even started printing.
