Remember when McDonalds was colorful and had a play place and a GameCube: all that and a lot more.

It must be just the blue. I figured out green: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/22401881

This may have been it. Thanks! ref: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/22401881

Holy crap. So I tried a pack of the Green PETG (still Kingroon) and the first print didn’t go well. It didn’t like .3mm on a .4mm nozzle.

This happened:

A bit of a clog and other weirdness.

I took the default Cura PETG settings for .4mm nozzle, swapped to .2mm (fast) default settings then set fan to 50% and temperature to 230C… I got a beautiful benchy:

It’s beautiful.

I guess it seems like maybe something is just wrong with that roll of blue…

Makes me wonder if a Bambu or some other more set/forget kind of printer would have been able to print it somehow. Maybe I’ll try again one day.

Thanks everyone so much for all.

Interestingly, I tried the Kingroon green PETG and it looked ok at first then seemed to clog-ish.

It pretty much self clogged a few layers in. So about the same?

What should I see differently with retraction off? Like it failed but what should I look for then try next?

For good measure I tried going direct from the dryer to the hot end (and just left a piece in the runout sensor to have it not trip). More/less the same problems: https://imgur.com/a/65jzAQv … I stopped it early since it was failing terribly. Otherwise was using default cura generic PETG settings on .3mm per layer with .4mm nozzle.

What’s the recommendation to fix under extrusion? I tried changing the flow in cura to 102 then later to 118… no obvious differences.

I instead tried printing directly from the spool holder immediately after taking it out of the dryer. Same thing happened. I doubt it could have moisture-d up that fast for it to make a difference

Should I try a different one? I think all I have are Kingroon PETGs. I got them from a bundle of 10: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806452989007.html … I have different colors though.

There was something like

# sleep for about a second on modern processors
math.factorial(10000)

After it was found we left it in the code but commented out along with a sleep(1) for posterity.

At least at my Costco we never had sauerkraut. We had the onion dispenser thing before COVID. Now if you ask, they give you onions.

Sauerkraut is one of the reasons I enjoy Sam’s dogs more.

Probably a line about how they’re not liable if you record in a place where recording isn’t allowed.

Yeah I hate when I read through a unit test and realize it doesn’t actually test anything other than itself.

Well if you forget them, you wouldn’t remember them to forget them.

Though seriously, I find interviews, photos, videos even of people telling stories helps. It’s the same idea that documentaries use to tell stories.

I’ve thought about this wrt to AI and work. Every time I sit in a post mortem it’s about human errors and process fixes.

The day a post mortem ends with “well the AI did it so nothing we can do” is the day I look towards… with dread.

You don’t know what you got till it’s gone…

My cat’s thought process. I can tell when she’s getting annoyed or when she wants to randomly barf. It’s like a spidey sense.
