Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset? in c/3dprinting

[–] PKRockin 1 points 2 years ago

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

Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset? in c/3dprinting

[–] PKRockin 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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?

Ender 3 Pro CR Touch Z-axis offset? (self.3dprinting)

submitted 2 years ago by PKRockin to c/3dprinting

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:

Auto-Home
Step the Z-Axis down until there's slight resistance on a sheet of paper between the nozzle and bed
Take that value (Roughly -1.3) and put it into the Z-Axis Offset value
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? in c/games

[–] PKRockin 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

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? in c/retrogaming

[–] PKRockin 5 points 2 years ago

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

What's everyone playing right now? in c/games

Working my way through Nova Lands, Diablo 4, FF16, and Big Pharma :)

How should we be using Lemmy? in c/fediverse

[–] PKRockin 7 points 2 years ago

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.

hah we gave up on the starter potty real fast. We're still struggling through a full acceptance of potty, but every step forward is a good step!

Yeah.. not sure what they're talking about.

I trialed BackBlaze and quickly realized the apps are really geared towards desktop devices, the mobile apps seem to just be read-only.

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.

Not really looking for advice, not really venting.. just wanted to share my experiences.

Our 3 year old is relatively potty trained at home, but at school is hit-or-miss. She's slipping back a bit in regression at home, but not having to change diapers anymore is so worth it!

Trouble with Octaprint & Ender 3 Pro (self.3dprinting)

submitted 2 years ago by PKRockin to c/3dprinting

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!
