Would anyone be interested in charging docks for your handheld?

I got the RG DS, and I designed a charging dock for it that uses a right angle USB adapter. I did the same for another Anbernic I have as well. I put it up on Etsy and it seems there is a little bit of interest in it, at least for the RG DS.

So that got me thinking that I could make docks for others too, but I can't really afford to buy a dozen handhelds to do it. So if anyone is willing, and you have a 3d printer and some calipers, I would love to design one for you to test out.

The printer recovered from a power outage. I had no idea it could do that.

So last night, the printer had an hour left on a 3 hour print, and I went to bed. While I was in bed, the power dipped. I assumed the print was dead, and figured I'll just deal with it in the morning. So I woke up and there was a message asking if I wanted to try and save it. And it just worked. I only get like 1 or 2 of those blips a year but it's still nice to know the feature is there.

Is anyone else using the .6mm nozzles from SM? I installed them, and the prints are nearly perfect, except for blobbing on the prime tower that sometimes transfers to the print. Using Orcaslicer with PLA.

As the title states. I'm getting blobbing. I've done the flow(PA) calibration before the print. I've tried adjusting z-hop settings, wipe settings. I've reduced the flow on the prime tower, but nothing seems to work. I've confirmed that the printer, and the slicer are all set for .6mm nozzles.

I'm almost starting to think that the reason it worked on .4mm is that the stock nozzles are stainless steel, and the new ones are hardened. I did raise the temperature 3 degrees, but I'm not sure if that matters. Would raising it more help, or do you all think it would make it worse?

Also, are there any nickel plated brass hotends out there? I've found those work perfectly on my previous printers. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Is anyone else having this issue on the .6mm nozzles?

My first print is running, and I have an issue with the color.

So I'm trying to print the pikachu from maker world using the filaments that come with the printer. The Pikachu uses the same colors, except for the brown stripes on the back which I merged with yellow. However, the whites of his eyes are currently printing using the red filament. Why is that?

The slicer shows it using white. I'm using Snorca. Did something go wrong where it did match the colors from the model to the colors on the printers? What should I have done here to prevent this.

Here are the screenshots from Orca: https://imgur.com/a/gS2E6xr

Has anyone tried the orcaslicer alpha build for filament syncing?

So let me start by saying that I have no clue about how filament syncing or anything works. I have 8 other printers, but this this is my first multi filament printe, and all I have done is print the included dragon. I haven't had time to connect the printer to orcaslicer.

That said, I have seen a number of posts and comments asking if there is a way to filament sync in regular orca slicer. And I also noticed that the Orca alpha build specifically lists snapmaker filament syncing as a new feature/improvement.

So again, I have no clue if it works, but I figure some of you might have a few minutes to test it out.

Here's the text from the release notes for reference.

Improved SnapmakerPrinterAgent filament sync by @gaaat98 in #13265 Snapmaker filament syncing now matches against vendor-specific and custom filament presets using filament type, vendor name, and color distance for more accurate matching. Generic matching is kept as a fallback. Inspired by #13202.

So I've only noticed it twice so far, but I have no idea how long it happened for each time. I've had the phone for a month. But the vibration just stops working completely, until I reboot. I even tested it out at https://www.onlinemictest.com/vibration-test/ and it doesn't work there either. After a reboot, it works perfectly. I have made sure that the phone is on vibrate, and not mute. And even on sound on mode, it would make the notification sound, but no vibration.

I was just wondering if anyone else is having the issue, and if there was any fix for it. I am on the latest update that I received a couple days back. It happened once before the update(about 2 weeks ago), and once after, just today.

And if someone has a workaround where I can just restart some service or something instead of restarting the phone, that would be useful as well.
