A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day

[Neotko]

Guys what a funny day. I got my um2 head from china 90€. They sell an 'olsson' for 1.75 that they say it's perfect LOL. They drill it with a 4mm bit and then they insert a ptfe 4-2mm until it touches the nozzle.

Did open a dispute so they refund me 40€ and they did. So not bad. There's some parts that I can actually use and the part broken I can just 3d print it.

It's good to have level A4 on aliexpress, they had to listen or the get bad reviews.

See @amedee ? If you trst what you buy you can actually scavenge some XD

You're braver than I ....I won't deal with the Chinese junk

Alignment of the X-axis at three points with this undying classic. In fact, used almost everywhere in surveying.

The problem is that more and more, what you are buying locally is the same junk at premium price.

I don't have a problem to pay a fair price for a quality product manufactured locally, but if it is to buy the same with just another label on it then I'll shop directly in Asia...

A photo of Putin on your wall?

[ivan.akapulko]

Image is not mine ))) But usually in every company and public institution have a picture of him, so his gaze is omnipresent.
UPD: Of course, talking about Russia. In Kazakhstan instead of Putin we look at our Presidents photo.

Classic! I spend a few days doing that too, just for fun!
You know you can insert this as auto startup code, or after/before a print. To let your printer play a melody when your print is done

Great idea! But how to make a gcode from any other tune? Any manuals?

[LePaul]

For that much effort, it should auto level the bed

[Neotko]

Ohhhh tune for finishing!!! Thats soo niceee! Time tonupdate my s3d profiles!

There are some explanation here...
They typically start from midi files and map to the steppers frequency

[nilrog]

Now that is geeky

[Meduza]

Rickard Dahlstrand (he is a very nice guy btw) has made a script that automates parsing MIDI-to-Gcode: https://github.com/rickarddahlstrand/MIDI-to-CNC

Had a closer look at the test print we did on the Form 2 in Stockholm, the surface finish, precision and level of detail is just stunning!
Can't wait until the one we ordered for work arrives
