That is not how it is supposed to look, the end result should be at least a couple of inches wide.

Maybe you don't need to 'fix' your retraction settings?

If it looks good enough, why bother?

Wasn't aware of the test (SuperSlicer user here), and found this.

The tower has multiple notches, each one corresponding to a different retraction length. By looking at the tower after printing, you can see how each retraction length affects the print quality.

So check your surface finish and select the retraction value with the best looks.

Esp32Cam with esphome running a webserver, add frigate in the mix and you can have dozens of cameras for just a few bucks.

Completely open source (apart from the espressif wifi radio stack, but who's counting) and low cost.

Yes, quality of the camera will never compete with commercial stuff, but this is way more fun. Add as much cameras as your frigate instance allows..

Perhaps this is an alternative?

Gonna recommend this to all my co workers.

It is not vulnerable to Windows viruses.

Had a custom kernel installed back in the days, but the most hardware 'just works' using vanilla Ubuntu 22.04.

I guess the camera doesn't work, but being a SP 4Pro, I use it mainly as a terminal or some coding with Codium and couldn't care less about the camera.

Blowtorch will heat this up way too hot.

Try to get it to a high enough temperature to insert filament to do a cold pull and repeat..

Electrical heat gun (paint stripper) is hot enough. Gas based torches will change the stiffness of your material and you will regret it.

Shiver me timbers!

Thanks for the heads-up buccaneer!

Yes, physically getting bigger.

Dell XPS had a batch laptops going crazy and pushing the touchpad up.

You will recognize it :-)
