  • Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 100%

    Wait, sorry. What's supposed to touch the bed? The hot end or the ABL sensor?

  • Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 100%

    Yeah, this was my assumption (the probe should hit before) - I just wasn’t sure if they were supposed to offset just enough with the adjustable probe to end up being in-line with the nozzle. The instructions are… not great.

    Also - sorry, when you say leveling.. do you mean that I should be leveling the bed against the ABL sensor or the hot end?

  • Should we make communities for specific games?

    bleh shitposts belong in meme subs

  • I just installed the CR Touch kit on my Ender 3 Pro. Everything is wired up, but I can't seem to get the Z-Axis offset correct. My process is: 1. Auto-Home 2. Step the Z-Axis down until there's slight resistance on a sheet of paper between the nozzle and bed 3. Take that value (Roughly -1.3) and put it into the Z-Axis Offset value 4. Level bed All of this works, but when the bed is leveling, the CR Touch needle is hitting the bed way earlier than the nozzle by maybe a few mm. When I go to print, there doesn't seem to be adhesion in some places on the glass bed. What am I doing wrong? :(

    Any suggestions for fictional sports management games?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 100%

    I'm really turned off at the realistic sport aspect of it, hence why I'm looking for a fictional sport. Something like Pyre or Blaseball.

  • I'm looking for a game similar to OOTP with a Blaseball theme. It doesn't have to be baseball, I really am just looking for a high-level sports management game where I am managing a team or a league on a fictional sport. Any suggestions?

    Should we make communities for specific games?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 100%

    I'm conflicted. While I wish I could go to a targeted community for games I am playing, my experience with Reddit is that these end up being filled with shitposts and memes.

  • Anyone else crazy enough to build their own retro-gaming machine?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 100%

    I picked up a little bartop cabinet from a local arcade convention a few years back for a few hundred bucks. Ended up ripping out the Pandora's Box (overseas piracy device with a bunch of dumped ROMs) and threw a Raspberry Pi into it. Got everything wired up with RetroPi.. then realized I needed to add more buttons.

    It's been in that state for years lol

  • How should we be using Lemmy?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 100%

    Oh my god, same issue here. I'm just ready to use Lemmy (or KBin, or anything) and not constantly read how much better it is than Reddit and how Reddit is going down a death spiral. Let's just move on and provide our own content.

    Excuse me, I thought I was to type out all of the file contents in each BTC payment to your wallet? Are those files retained??

  • I’m looking for a SaaS to offload photos and files/backups. I don’t want to have to do a manual sync or process - I am too used to iCloud photo backup at this point, I would be paying for something I wouldn’t be using.

    [Final Update] My insurance won't cover UTIs for males. Yes, I'm in the US.

    We can discuss where the money comes from, but the idea isn't pie-in-the-sky wild. I don't disagree with you.

    It makes sense if you think about it (assuming my thoughts are correct, I'm in the US). If you're employed, you are contributing through your taxes. Just because you're unemployed, it doesn't mean your contributions pause. Now, should they? That's a good question, but the current implementation makes sense. I imagine it does incentivize people to look for employment.

  • Which apps do you use for notes and reminders?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 0%

    Man, Omnifocus (and most of the Omni suite) seems so good, but it's so expensive. I absolutely am not opposed to paying for services, but a $10/mo subscription service or a $50+ app seems crazy for a task tracker.

  • Trouble with Octaprint & Ender 3 Pro
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 0%

    Sorry, yeah I realized my post was super light on info - the printer is in the basement and far away :)

    Where I'm at:

    • Multiple USB A <-> Micro-USB cables were tried
    • RPi4 turns on, I can access Octoprint just fine. Octoprint says it could not recognize any connected printer
    • E3Pro turns on just fine, is completely stock and has not been modified in any way.

  • I'm struggling with getting my Ender 3 Pro connected to my Raspberry Pi 4 via USB. The connection just doesn't seem to be established. From what I've read, it could be any number of things.. but I was hoping someone here had some input. Thanks!

    Why do some games keep crashing high end computers?
  • PKRockin PKRockin 1y ago 100%

    Don’t forget V Rising is early access. Also, plenty of modern software has bugs that can cause engine crashes. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions.

    I’ve been having a blast. The community has been good - joking around and minimal toxicity.
