  • With the exception of crap for the kids and cake toppers, everything I print is to solve a problem I/we have.

    Here are the gridfinity drawers I designed and printed for under my desk. https://www.printables.com/model/1129785-gridfinity-under-desk-drawer-system

    I'm about to start printing triple stacks of these to put better drawers into my IKEA KALLAX shelves than the ones IKEA sells.

  • I think the fact your library has one to borrow is the absolute best part of this post!

  • See: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/4254

    I spent 3 months working with support, they replaced just about everything related, eventually sent me a whole new printer, and the new one had the exact same issue out of the box.

    It starts too low consistently, so filament builds up constantly till it drops and ruins the print.

    I can't print anything bigger than 20cm² without it dropping a giant blob somewhere in the print and ruining it..

    Always perfect first layer is not real, and my experience is that they are distancing themselves from the promise they made when the mk4 was announced.

  • FWIW, I've been a long time Prusa user, but I'm returning my Prusa mk4s and wouldn't buy one ever again.

  • Of what, a metric shit-ton?

    🤣

  • I've used airtable for these sorts of "personal use" use cases (eg: home built rocketry flight log) and I was even able to use their iPhone / Android app to enter data.

    I haven't paid a cent for it yet as I'm well under their data caps.

  • Mk4s owner here and I'm super unhappy with the output of my factory assembled mk4s, due to a consistent first layer problem. The mk4s is related to the core 1 as far as I know as the "next gen".

    Prusa seems to be aware of the issue, but I feel they are still messing around greatly with any kind of actual solution to the problem, that actually led me to pulling the pin on any work purchases from Prusa at all.

    I actually got sent a second factory assembled mk4s as a "make good", and the new unit had the exact same problem, right out of the box...

    If I had my time again, I wish I'd have gone the Voron in some kind of pre-packed kit form...

  • OMFG this is brilliant...

    Feel like sharing the source so I can adjust to get a few stickers printed?

  • Nah.. It's easy.. My previous mk3s+ had hundreds of awwsome PETG hours.

  • 🙏🏻

  • Can I assume from your response that you have a mk4 or mk4s with this issue then?

  • Thanks..It's a good point. I've updated the post photo, and I'll add the worse failure mode elsewhere.

  • If you wanted to customise the starting gcode, I'm sure you could.

  • A typical output with PLA.with Zoffset = 0

  • I can get adequate results with Zoffset or LiveZ +0.04 with smooth sheet and PLA.

    PETG is still variable results for same settings, z+0.01 is ok some of the time, others it is still terrible, and still sees filament build up, so if printing real things, it eventually blobs, and has a (bedArea - printArea) chance of then causing a collision.

    +0.02 means no bed adhesion, and I can't actually get a finished first layer.

  • This is one of the worse failure modes I have experienced for this issue. In this instance, the extreme amount of "squish" leads to extreme filament buildup on the nozzle, eventually causing colisions and removing chunks of the FL test.

  • Yes, but it occurs with both PLA and PETG.
