Stringing and blob at edges. Advice needed.

So I spend a full weekend on calibrating EVERYTHING (almost a full reassembly and calibration) but ut still does this. I suspect it’s more of a fine tuning issue whith the extruder motor. And advice on how to correclty resolve the issues on the video?

Why is it not stopping at the safety switch?

I was trying to get the z axis to move parallel on both sides (I have only one lead screw). The horizontal part that moves up and down was wobbly so I tried to adjust the eccentric nuts and check the rollers too. I tested it by just homeing the printer and it moved fine and the wobbly effect dissapeared. I also changed the nozzle to a new one.

So Istarted to adjust the bed and BL touch to start a test print and even tho the bed is on the max height (rear left corner already pressing the plastc cable mount under the bed) the nozzle still isn’t close enough.

But my bigger issue now is this:

The printer doesn’t let me go to negative Z values. But somehow it did when I controlled it over octoprint but I don’t understand why it didin’t stop when the safety switch is pressed.

Any help is very welcomed and very appreciated.

Rate my compost - 1 year as a begginer

Hello everyone! I thought I would share with you the results of my compost "harvest".

I know it is super dry. It’s because for the past two years there was some wooden planks stored over the area which was covering it so no rain could fall into it. Also I didn’t really cared to water it.

So I took the compost pile and threw 3/4 aside to get to the bottom layer. That’s what you see in the background.

I shoveled that layer to a sieve. Shaked it into a big container, and threw the rest aside (to the left).

It is super super dry but I think it will be fine when mixed in the raised bed with soil.

The pile I took out went back mixed with 2 buckets of compost and a lot of greens and some dirt and a LOTS and LOTS of water. Also mixed it very well and made sure it’s nice and even but it has layering at the same time.

So this is what I have been doing today.

I don’t know why I can’t add pictures bit I will include them in a comment.
