Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️I have resumed the folly of 3d printing after a nearly year long hiatus
place your bets until how long it'll be until I'm ranting about how printers are a sin against man and god
crashed my slicer
I'm printing a calibration cube because I don't know what state I left this printer in.
presumably in the standard state of "it kinda works but I don't trust it"
crashed my slicer again
and again
and again
third attempt worked.
I probably should have updated octoprint before hitting go, and I probably should have done some manually leveling, but hey, it seems to be printing so far.
also the filament has been sitting in a garage, loaded into the printer, for a year.
it's probably really shit by now. as soon as the cube finishes I'm gonna need to swap to something, anything, else

there's a lot of work that can and should be done on this printer, but it's all gonna be limited by the fact I can't stand up for more than 5 minutes
well, there's something going on with the z-axis, but it printed more or less.
Renalia - #1 pizza downloader@foone that's probably slight delamination. Possible the head is calibrated slightly too far away from the print bed.
@foone ooh actually, I missed the warping at the bottom there. Possibly too CLOSE to the bed actually
@Nine that's after a raft, so I'm not sure it's indicative of bed issues. The calibration distance is likely, I seem to recall it's insane on this printer (you have to calibrate it on the touchscreen, then reverse-calibrate it in the gcode? something like that?)
@foone yeah my neptune 4 used to have this issue. I actually nearly destroyed an entire printhead before I realised the issue I'd caused by pushing the head too close to the bed. The rafts LOOKED fine but because it was too close, as it extruded, material progressively oozed up around the nozzle, causing slight adhesion of freshly printed parts to the nozzle as it moved, causing lifting in places as well as it pulled apart the still not fully set layers a little... Eventually I got the blob of death. Had to replace the whole printhead x.x
@Nine that sounds very likely to be my issue, yeah.
