  • Try increasing hotend temp for first few layers and hotbed temp throughout

    the default from the printer was 60C. I had some better results with 70C. But the issue still happend with more delicate prints.

    those PEI sheets usually need higher bed temp than the regular sheets

    thanks. I didn’t know that. What magnitude are we talking here (like: 10K more for PEI-sheets? or more like 1K?)

    Try moving z closer for first layer

    I think this may be the solution. How much should I change the z-offset? (the print in the video has 0.2mm layer height. And the worst-adhession issues happened with 0.1mm)
















  • Interesting how college ruined your love for programming

    it was probably the general pressure and depression.

    and work got it back

    the costumers and the colleague were nice people. I enjoyed solving actual real-life problems.

    Studying Computer Science constantly fed me with new interesting ideas, and I still had more time to play around with those ideas.

    after my first job, I went back to college (uni?) to get my masters. There I had lots of fun implementing some of the theoretical stuff.


  • what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed.

    • Write programs that scratch your own itch.
    • write bots for communities you care about.
    • write userscripts/browserextentions
    • do programming/hacking challenges

    (for stuff that is always online, like a bot, or a webservice, I recommend getting a dedicated computer, like a raspberry pi or a small vps)

    also some general recommendation

    • keep you goals small and tangible. If a thing takes more than one sitting to complete, it will add to your stress when you add the remainder to your todo list.
    • do the simplest thing, that could possibly work.
    • when doing new stuff, use chatgpt to come up with a plan/boilerplate/demo/2nd opinion.

    from personal experience: before I went to college, I had lots of fun doing programming challenges. During college I lost all interest in programming. At my first real job, I regained my love for programming, when I started programming things, that actual people need to improve their daily work. Since then I enjoy programming for work, as well as in my free time.


  • what is the bare minimum of security measures you can do?

    I guess just the normal things with p2p stuff: make sure no ports are exposed except for the essentials, update software, use SSL wherever possible.

    When you don’t use VPN, people will see your actual IP adress and will launch the same kind of attacks, they also launch on servers [1] to try to hijack your system and add them to their bot net.

    [1] port scans, login-attemps, applying known exploits. If this doesn’t sound scary, you should try operating a server that is exposed on the internet and then look at the number of login attemps.
