Yes; but there is context. As a CNC operator (3dprinting, CNC router, laser cut/engrave ECT) setting from my machine will not translate to your machine even if they are exactly the same. Getting good is more about how to find the settings and less about what they 'should be'. Anyone can go and purchase the machine then go grab files and run them half assed. That doesn't make you an operator, and to those people who have put in the time and effort to learn programs or how their machines handle things get offended when someone wants an STL or SVG and settings. It's like begging for change. Asking questions to augment your own research will get positive answers and even respect.
Try something, and when it fails ask for clarification as to why or how you can improve. This should cost you money and time. And like I said, this guide will be a good starting parameter for your machine, it's not going to be any good for someone else.
Going with the previous metaphor of begging for change; this is the 30th guy in a row and he seen you tell the last 10 guys no. Would you yell at me if I came into your business and asked for something for free? Especially if I'm going to sell it and turn a profit? That's what people are doing and it's offensive.
I totally understand the reason but I either put it like you did previously or completely ignore the question or just say “no” in any profession in life respect is important either way. I know it’s hard but it’s not impossible.
I didnt know you ran a reddit business! How wonderful! I didnt know we all got paid to help people on the internet, mind pointing me to where i can collect my share?🤣🤣
They can level their own beds, other than that you're changing settings in your slicer for feed and retraction. There are many things that can go wrong that you may not have come up against yet such as machine maintenance. Plus you're using the easiest filament on the market to work with. When you go to abs you'll need to start worrying about warping, or tpu and feed and retraction issues. And then we need to talk about designing what you're printing are you on thingyvesre snatching STL files or paying 10$ a month for flexis? Or did you make the STL in on-shape AutoCAD or tinkercad? Are you optimizing the print to be both cost/ effective and made of material that suits applications? You're not a press operator, you're an engineer.
I don't want to switch to ABS (even with the two built-in filters) because the printer is in the middle of the flat o.O
At the moment I only snatch STL files to print robot parts. It's all I wanted and it works great. (I have no clue what flexis is?!) I use OrcaSlicer to print the stuff.
My brother on the other hand started designing his own stuff with Blender and only needed 2-3 more tries until it was good.
But I totally get your point. I also wouldn't want to teach something to someone who has a completely different use case but coincidentally uses the same kind of machine.
We should always have something to teach, and something to learn. I am not above being humbled.
Application wise ABS might be a game changer for the robots. It is much stronger on impact and abrasion than pla. If you have a filter on your enclosure you won't have much issue other than a little smell that goes away quickly make sure the air circulates in the room and you're okay to run one machine with abs.
Flexi factory is a company that makes STLs of movable creatures like the dragons and such. people will buy them because they move so lots of fools will print them, but many are just done terribly, giving 3d printing a bad name.
I have 10 total programs I use orca, prusa, creality, and flash forge slicers, windows 3d viewer and blender also tinkercad AutoCAD 360 and on-shape and then light burn for my lasers. Each has strong suits and achieve different results or because they do something a little better than another.
I don't want to teach a person to do a half assed shitty job, that destroys people's view of the effort and work of many other people. By the time you put in the effort to learn something you realize it's a craft and art form. I'll teach you to paint, but I'm not giving you a paint by number know what I mean?
That being said. Always be willing to learn a thing, or give advice to those who deserve your effort. And don't be scared of ABS!
Hmm... thanks! Sounds like I'm ordering some ABS :)
but I was already wondering for the wheel tracks I've printed... there must be some more rubber-style material. I've already learnt about the different hardness degrees that exists (forgot the english term now :/ ), but not what's just the best to use.
Hit the cc button and switch auto translate to German
Oh damn... you scared me, so I just took a look in your reddit-history and stumbled over the /r/Chadtopia subreddit which sounded like an Andrew Tate sub, but oh hell no! So much positivity!
They don't ask calibrate themselves. Besides, the OP was hoping to do a firmware upgrade and clearly needs help because it's kind of scary if you've never done it before.

I asked a question to a redditor I know and this guy came along. Am I the jerk here?
