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.
Jim P.@foone Looks like underextrusion, which could be any number of things, but it could easily just be the filament degraded sitting there so long.
Argonel@foone @Argonel It tests more things than the cube does, and it's better than benchy for certain tests, but if you're just looking for a basic dimensional and flow test the cube is still good.
If you aren't yet interested in diagnosing things like overhangs and so on then I'd just keep running the cube until you sort out the extrusion issue(s).
The CaliCat is definitely cuter, though, and easier to pass off to people instead of throwing out.
