So beautiful
  • And have to dig up even more earth using even more big machines? If you did a 50ft power line underground, that's 50 ft of earth that has to be dug up, not to mention what happens whenever something inevitably goes wrong and you have to dig it all up again. Then you also have to bury transformers, which means you need to cool them.

    There's many, many good reasons that we use power lines over burying them. Mostly, power lines are so significantly cheaper and easier that it's not even comparable. I've seen the bill when a buried fiber line gets broken. It is crazy expensive.

  • [Meme] Which movie was this for you?
  • I agree with the other guy somewhat - take out a lot of the casino scene and it's the best star wars movie so far.

    I'm pissed Johnson isn't going to get the trilogy he was promised. Instead, we got Abrams making the most corporate star wars to date, and that's saying something

  • Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • Luck of the Fryrish I believe.

    That or the movie where he loses his lucky pants

    Either way, he declares that his luck is changing right before the ladder he's climbing into the sewer has a bar break off, sending him plunging into either just the water or onto someone slimy

    Edit: wait, it's definitely Luck of the Fryrish. They're heading to Old New York to find Fry's clover. Same deal, the ladder breaks after he declares no more bad luck

  • Day 2: Discover

    Forgot to post this yesterday!

    Don't mind how horrendous the perspective and line work is. I did this high at 3am.

    Day 1: Backpack

    I don't draw much, so don't mind how rough it is!

    Good perspective is optional, right?

    Ender 3 having issues with text

    Hi everyone,

    I'm having a weird issue with text such as the one in this image. Big or small, fancy or regular, all text comes out looking like it does in the image - cracked and hollow. I've spent the last few days trying to figure out why, and I'm stumped.

    I've tried printing slower and slower and adding more and more top layers (the bottom 2 bottle caps are completely solid with 100% infil), but it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

    Here's what I'm working with:

    • Ender 3
      • Software 2.0.8.27
      • Hardware 4.2.2
    • CR Touch
    • PrusaSlicer 2.8.0
    • MakerBot PLA Filament
    • I've used various temperatures and speeds. All of them have generated the terrible text you see here

    Thanks in advanced for the help!

    Update: We seem to be getting somewhere!

    !

    The top 2 are the same ones featured in the post above. The bottom left was printed at 110% extrusion and normal speed. The bottom right was printed at 110% extrusion and a much slower speed for the text, and it looks much better! I'm printing another now with higher bridge flow rate (it was 70%, I set it to 85%), so I'll update again in a few minutes when that finishes!

    Thanks for the information about calibrating e steps from everyone! It's getting late, so I don't want to mess around with that tonight, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow!

    Update 2: welp.

    !

    That's possibly the worst one yet. I'm reprinting the bigger insert piece seen in the original post to check if my printer simply can't do that quality or if it's the e steps. If it's e steps, I'm going to bed...

    Update 3:

    Welp, seems like it's the e-step. However, it's too late for me to care about that right now, so I'm going to bed. Thanks for the help everyone! I'll work on fixing the issue tomorrow
