DIY light program question

So...lights work great. Been slowly making my own programs. I'm set up where they come on at sunset, off at 6am.

My question is none of the DIY programs seem to follow the schedule. I have to manually choose the program I want (even if it was used the night before). Am I missing something?

Well that's about as close as you get....

Finish my install finally. All that was left is this one light. I knew it would be close....just not that close😅. Wife loves them.

App tutorials?

So I'm trying to slug my way around the app and learning what it can do. Haven't figured out yet how to do what I want to do.

So....anyone know of a good tutorial video for features?

If it helps, the set is the Elite from Costco.

Looking for some clarification

So, the lights I have are the elite from Costco.

I am under the impression they are cutable (to shorten).

I'm currently almost done and nearing my chimney then around the chimney with an extension.

What I need is 47" from plug to plug. My plan was to cut the lights where needed, then attach the end plug back on.

I think I read somewhere that you have to have a certain amount of lights, I've also read cut whatever you need off.

Can anyone give me a verification either way?

Just looking for a bit of input.

So, finally got our lights for the house and today is install day.

As the title states looking for some input. Would you run straight across or would you jog the lights in to follow the shape of the house?

Printing question with Rinkhals and Orca slicer

Hey all, finally got the Rinkhals installed and working as it should. It is all set up with Orca.

I as of right now can not figure out how I am supposed to print from either Mainsail or Orca. was under the impression that there would be a print remotely or send in Orca but the only options that are there are print and export gcode.

Through Mainsail I am also stumped as I see no options to send to printer. Would really appreciate some guidance as to what I am not doing, so I could actually print without going back through Anycubic next.

Thanks in advance.

Rinkhals/bed mesh questions

So when doing a bed mesh through Rinkhals it gets to the last point then just...stops. Is this normal?

​

The other question is changing the bed mesh. Stock is 5x5, and I'd like to do a 7x7. I've changed it in the custom.cfg file, saved, rebooted the printer and nothing changes. Stays at the stock 5x5. Is there there something I'm missing? Perhaps a specific order or some other small detail I'm missing?

Rinkhals question

Hey all, in process of installing Rinkhals. So far I've followed the instructions. When the USB was inserted after a few seconds it beeped as it should. Then the install screen and I followed the prompts.

Is it a large file that takes a while? Im asking because it seemed to go through the motions but is staying on the screen as shown in the picture.

Filament error question

So ran a print last night, finished this morning. Literally changed nothing, same filament, same settings everything. Go to print and get a filament error.

Any idea why, and where you'd start since it ran fine last night. I can take everything apart fine. Just thought if you've had this before possibly a starting point as opposed to taking all apart.

Insulated cover question

So, I'm in the process of making my own insulated cover. Have all the needed stuff.

I'm having a difficult time finding the right magnets that will hold the cover in place. So for those of you that have done this.....got any links/suggestions?

For added info I am using a welding blanket under and a waterproof one on top.

Rinkhals question

So for those of you that have installed Rinkhals is it easy to do?

Only really want it to speed up the ACE units.

If anyone could explain to me like I'm a smart 6 y old I'd appreciate that. I'm good at the mechanical part but get nervous for this type of thing. Also I'm running the latest version for the Kobra if that helps. Pretty sure I've seen Rinkhals for the latest version.

Question for the masses

So I've printed a few g♤n$ now for cosplay. Here's what I've noticed every time.....during printing and serial number, made in, etc ends up looking like braille. It's there in the model, not ever in the preview and definitely not on the print.

Is this purposeful, like somehow the slicer knows and won't print that part for various legal reasons? Anyone else experience this?

Hera...the Texas rescue update

So she has been slowly coming out of her shell. Her personality is starting to come out more.

She definitely loves playing and running around with Ares. Oddly she seems to prefer to be inside instead of out. Odd because she was living on her own for the first 5 months of her life with her brother and mother.

Wife thinks she is mixed with another breed, but I'm not seeing it. She definitely has lots of love to give.
