Design That Matters: Scaling Menstrual Product Dispensers Through 3D Printing

Menstrual products are essential — but providing them in public spaces is often an overlooked challenge. Students of the Faculty of Architecture at the Czech Technical University came up with design solutions in the form of elegant menstrual supply dispensers. But...

Massive MMU3 speed boost: New FW slashes filament change times + CORE One L MMU3 news

The MMU3 has been our workhorse for single-nozzle multi-material printing, and before it hands the baton to the upcoming INDX system, we wanted to give it one last significant upgrade. We usually design our hardware with some headroom, so it can...

As I place my latest order on the Prusa website, I catch myself scrolling through my order history, noticing how much printer prices have risen over time. They’re still excellent machines and fairly priced for what they offer, but inflation hasn’t played out the same way for both of us.

Just having a great day.

I loosened the z-axis trapezoidal nuts, and that did completely make the noise go away. Except now the printer won't level properly at all.

Naturally I assumed this was because the bed was too loose and there was too much play, so I tightened the screws in the nuts back up. That didn't fix anything, but did make the z-axis much louder.

Long story short, the thumbscrews that hold the nozzle in were way too loose.

Lubricated the z-axis screws and that completely made the noise go away. Didn't want to look for the Prusa lubricant, so I just used the Mobil stuff. Smells the same as the grease on the rods, so it's probably fine.

I am not a lawyer, but Kyle Mitchell is, and the OCLv1 sure seems like a mess

The post did point me to Kyle's very plain-language Parity License that really interests me. I wish there were a more hardware-friendly version.

Like, there is part of a reference to it on the Core One maintenance page. Apparently an older version of the page goes into detail about it.

It is allegedly suggested by Prusa support.

It is suggested for the XL, which has the same general construction as the Core One.

Does the #CoreOne need lubricant on the z-axis screws or not?
