Confused....

I have a new Neptune 4 max and i was calibrating it via the tests from orca slicer. I did the flow ratio and the pressure tests and i changed the config file accordingly.

​

Then i tried the temp file and the test string came out like the one below because for some reason the nozzle was trying to pring 1 mm or so higher. So i stopped it and tried resetting the settings on orca and same result. But when I print the same file from the printers display it works normally.

​

Can anyone help?

What's wrong with my first layer?

​

I was changing the z offset on orcasilcer because it was too high until in reached - 2.37 and it printed but something is wrong with the first layer.

After this print i tried to print something bigger and I reduced it to - 2.3756 but it didn't print the first layer well and I got a big blob of plastic on the nozzle and it also ate a little of the bed too.

Settings:

  1. Elegoo neptune 4 max

  2. Orcaslicer

  3. Rapid PLA+ sample in that came with the box

  4. Nozzle 0.4mm (first layer 210C) 205C bed 60C

  5. Speed: first 50mm/s, outer wall 120 mm/s, inner wall 160 mm/s, first infill 80mm/s

  6. Retraction 0.7mm

Please don't tell me it is what I think it 😭

I was adjusting the z axis on orcasilcer because I was printing the retraction test and it was too high (last Pic) . I went to the leveling setting on the printer and I thought I had to put that in the orca slicer (it was - 2.360).

I tried to print it and the test lines on the edge printed ok so I just left it. When I came to check on it this is what I saw.

What can I do about it?

Retraction test fail

Hey everyone,

I bulit my first printer yesterday and printed a benchy and it was stringy (the printer was on a table and the table was shaking I don't know if that is what made it stringy). Today I tried printing the retraction test on orcaslicer and the first time it didn't stick to the bed. I tried again and this what I got before I started sliding again. Can I get some help?

Settings:

  1. Elegoo neptune 4 max

Heltec v4 can't message any nodes

Hey guys,

I live in Germany and I have just received my heltec v4 with an upgraded 20cm antenna and after one day I started finding nodes but my messages aren't getting through even though I can see them messaging each other.

What could be the issue?

Hi,

I got this camera from my grandfather and it worked fine for about 2 or 3 winds then when i tried to wind it again, the lever just goes half way and gets stuck. I also believe that I have the Pad Of Death problem but I don't think I is related to this.

I have noticed that there is a gear stopper that doesn't let the lever go back and when I manually reset it, I goes back.

I would appreciate some help with this so I can show my grandfather some pics using his camera.

Thanks
