If all these LLMs weren’t trained on bitch-speak; yeah. I know there are LLMs out there that aren’t kneecapped in this way, but they’re often of much lower quality.

Make sure you didn’t accidentally turn “E in mm^3” on in the settings (if it’s stock firmware) – no fucking clue why they allowed that setting to stay on that machine; as it was from a time when switching from the 3mm standard to 1.75mm standard.

Also, never listen to anyone who tells you to start adjusting E-steps to fix a flow problem. They mean well, but they clearly don’t have enough experience to understand when or why you’d want to change that. E-Steps is a calculated value from the manufacturer based on known dimensions. If something is wrong hardware-wise, you fix THAT instead. E-Step adjustment was for the old days when you were making your own hobbed bolts by running a tap along the edge of a bolt and every bolt you made came out with a different effective diameter. Manufacturers know the exact diameter of their drive gears, and thus know the correct estep value and you don’t need to change it.

sniped down the bowing tube and made sure it was flush with the nozzle.

The fact that you said you snipped the bowden tube worries me; you’ve gotta cut it with a blade. Flush cutters do not leave it flat enough at the bottom and you’ve likely just caused yourself more issue. Either use a PTFE cutter designed for it, or a razor blade of some sort (Xacto knife, paint scraper blade, etc)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKN0VOuul0o – This video is quite possibly one of the best videos on the subject matter. Take 14 minutes out of your life and read it and commit the knowledge to memory; especially if you own an older Ender 3.

You can also disconnect your PTFE tubing from the extruder side of the equation, heat up your hot end, and try to extrude 100mm of filament, while trying to hold back the filament from the extruder – It should be pretty strong, if it slips too easily, you can narrow down your issue to the extruder. If it’s strong, but it’s tearing the filament apart when you try and print - then the issue will be down at the hot end. (Or possibly misconfigured slicer setting, like you’ve set your layer height to 3.0mm instead of 0.3mm for example) You want to divide and conquer here. Test the pieces separately, then fix the actual issue.

Additionally, Touch probes don’t fix leveling issues. If the machine isn’t printing fine before you add a touch probe, they won’t magically make things work - all they do is automate the process for an already perfectly-functioning machine. They can also correct for non-linear malformations, but they are not there to fix a leveling issue if you have one.

Check your nozzle diameter too – that looks similar enough to glow-in-the-dark filament that I’m going to mention it – DON’T. Glow in the dark filament is as abrasive as carbon fiber, and if your machine isn’t set up to handle it, it will wallow out a nozzle until it doesn’t match what the printer expects. If it’s wallowed out, you’ll regularly end up with nasty surfaces, etc.

There are so many things that this could be. Change your E-steps back to 93 if you’ve changed it. You’ll only mask the problem. If you’ve swapped over to some sort of dual-gear extruder (bad idea btw) - make sure your E-steps match what they tell you to use (typically 130) - or you can get this too.

More, good, well-lit pictures of the extruder area of your machine would help diagnosis - hot end with the fan shroud/cover off might help too. Basically – the more information you can give us, the easier it is for us to help. Pictures do a lot for those with good attention to detail; as you might miss something that we won’t.

Especially on Lemmy. Every misspelling is “AI” to some of these anti-AI whackos. It’s like they’ve never seen shit webpages before. They don’t know that AI spans thousands of different task types, and generalized AI is nowhere near being accomplished.

Those that really understand what “AI” consists of, understand it’s got weaknesses and strengths. And that those strengths can be used for both good things, and bad things.

Well, men CAN message first, as of like 8 months ago.

Yeah, but one of those governments can get you right now.

The other one has to cross international borders.

Honestly, using a foreign social media site is a hilarious move.

If I wanted to criticize the government, especially my own, I can see the reasoning behind using a foreign platform to do it on.

We still don’t have Bluetooth with stereo audio and mic channel at the same time… it’s either stereo audio, or mono audio + mic.

Oh no, not my mod history! Whatever will I do? You’ll see all the echo-chamber mods that removed my posts for having a different opinion! Oh noooooooooooooooo

Anyways… you could discuss the topic at hand…

Absolutely. I had a phase in my life like that. I grew out of it eventually. If I had never been introduced to black culture, do you think I would have ever taken to it?

Congratulations, you’ve somehow managed to read words and still not understand them. That’s certainly not a first on Lemmy, but you’re certainly in a select few!

Same reason I have you tagged as a heterophobic. I doubt you’re a piece of shit though. You probably at least mean well.

Congratulations, you’re about as smart as a MAGA republican then. Wouldn’t want basic definitions of things to sully your world views!

Here’s someone who hasn’t ever read a study on population and how many people identify as trans in nations that support it…

Because that’s literally what happens. On both “sides”. (I kind of cringe at calling them sides, because I don’t care about their orientation, but for the sake of argument)

Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong.

No, Propaganda is pushing any viewpoint you want to be more adopted. It doesn’t necessarily have to disparage anything else.

Like an iPhone ad. They don’t put up messages that are like “ew you’re an Android user, you’re so stupid and ugly”…they just put up an ad talking about how awesome having an iPhone is.

Same thing.

You don’t need a facebook theme to feel comfortable in your own skin. It’s there so you can make absolutely sure that everyone around you knows your orientation. Like an advertisement.

I say either A: Remove it entirely - and use some generic theming; or B: Open up a theming engine entirely, and let everyone theme it completely however they want; like the old Winamp.

Don’t just give a select few demographics their own theme while ignoring others. This is an even-handed approach that doesn’t discriminate against anyone or anything.

Nah. I’ll be here for the foreseeable future. If only just to make the echo chamber a little less echo-y.

Why would sex be considered ‘impure’ anyhow? Humans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago. You can do whoever you want, idgaf. Are you assuming I’m some sort of religious follower? Nah. Pretty anti-theist and non-believing. Thanks for participating! You missed your mark though.

I don’t use any social media with the exception of Lemmy. No Tiktok, No Instagram, No Facebook, No Threads, No Twitter, none of it. I still see constant alphabet-mafia propaganda everywhere.

Good, it is about time we stop shoving this idea down everyone’s throats. We don’t need the propaganda everywhere we turn in our day to day lives. They can enable it during the month of June when every corporation turns their icons rainbow, and leave it at that.
