[SOLVED] Unable to print TPU 93A
  • SOLUTION: runs contrary to common knowledge, but what ultimately helped was:

    • INCREASING print speed. The usual recommendation is the slower the better, but at that point, there's no pressure control over the filament
    • ENABLING retraction. Again, usual rec is to disable it for flexibles but turns out it alleviates too much backpressure which leads to filament buckling in the extruder

    Also printing hotter than mfg recommends: I printed at 260 (10C over recommended maximum).

    Thanks to u/Over_Pizza_2578 for pointing me to the right - opposite to everything else - direction.

  • [SOLVED] Unable to print TPU 93A

    EDIT: solution is in the comments. TL;Dr retractions ON and INCREASE speed. Both opposite to common knowledge.

    I can't print flexible TPU properly. It's either foamy, inconsistent extrusion or jam city, nothing else. I wasn't able to complete a single print properly in a week and probably 50 tries.

    Tried

    • 24 hours of active drying
    • speeds of 10-30mm/s
    • flow rate 1-1.2 (100-130%)
    • temps 220-250 (mfg rec is 235-250)
    • 0.4 and 0.6 nozzle
    • Cura and PrusaSlicer

    Direct drive (Biqu H2 V2s) on a well-tuned Ender 3 (no issues with ABS, PETG, even nylon). Part fan off. Printing on PP tape (no adhesion issue).

    I can get halfway decent looking print with 250C and a Flow rate of ~140% but it eventually jams anyway. Lower temps give super inconsistent extrusion, nozzle spitting chunks intermittently.

    At my wits' end. Any more tips? I don't have any other TPU ATM, may be just shitty filament? It's a cheapo polish F3D Filament TPU 93A. Thanks!

    grocy *bangs head*
  • I'm in the same boat. I'd like to have something like this integrated with Home assistant but Grocy is just ludicrously complex. It's like SAS for your fridge, only more complex. With rude developers who always know better than everyone else.

  • Disable authentication inside LAN?

    Is it possible to disable login/password when accessing from the LAN?

    12 Hours With ProxMox
  • Look here for more boner:

    https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/

    Lots of simple scripts to set up new stuff, remove annoyances, easy updates...

    I have switched from bare metal running on Rpi4 to proxmox and I've been super, super happy with it. Things like snapshots and backups make everything a breeze, and it's really solid.

  • Klipper vs Marlin
  • For me the responsivity of Klipper UI was reason enough. Octoprint is unbelievably slow on the same hardware. The other thing was ease of configuration - no firmware compilation and flashing necessary. And the third is the actual printing performance - Octoprint has a really bad implementation of the actual print data transfer, and the serial interface routinely chokes on fine data such as arcs. That never happens with Klipper, even at much, much higher print speeds.

  • Bluetooth automations no longer require confirmation!

    This is kind of a big deal for people who are into automations.

    Prior to iOS 17, user had to confirm automations triggered by Bluetooth every time (probably for security reasons).

    That's no longer a case with iOS 17.

    How to search within a sub?

    How can I search within a sub with Memmy? Say, only search for "Mario" in Retrogaming sub. Should be obvious but I don't see it.

    Eye icon - what does it do?

    What does this icon do? It appears on scroll sometimes. Tapping it does nothing.
