  • I’m working 4x10s now. It isn’t any better. I usually do nothing on my day off because I’m exhausted. We can’t work more than 10 hours a day, so I’m no longer able to make up missed time except for my day off, and they didn’t wanna pay extra for holidays, so we swap back to 5x8s on holiday weeks, and the week before. Since they also wanted people in the shop every day, so, they did a rotating schedule because some people would complain if the holiday placement benefited someone else more.


  • I am personally convinced that Hollywood is trapped under the thumb of executives that “know better.” They force terrible decisions and limit the creative vision of everyone else involved. When it works, they think it was only themselves that made it work. When it fails, it was the directors, actors, other crew, or even the fans that were at fault. I firmly believe that was the biggest change with the mcu. Once the original chapter was over, they couldn’t stay back anymore and started taking control again. I saw the new Deadpool, and I thought it was great. I firmly believe that’s because Ryan Reynolds is a big part and makes most of the calls, because he’s a creative. When you get a creative, they have passions that help the vision form, the executives should only be tasked with finding people with a passion for the current project. While sometimes that doesn’t work, it’s almost always because the creative teams passions didn’t line up with the project.




  • I bought a bl touch a few years ago. Decent printer. I updated the firmware and added a bl touch. That’s when it all went wrong. I now recommend staying away from biqu as their customer service is non-existent. To your problem, as stated by another commenter, get an updated firmware from biqu’s site. I compiled my own, which may explain some of my issues. My initial issues came with the probe offset. I dug a deep line in my plate and took several attempts to realize that I need to change my offset only in the machine parameters, not in the abl menu.





  • My only idea of the top of my head is trying another heater block. Make sure you use thermal paste as well to help with heat transfer. I know those probably won’t help, though. I posted, though, to mention I was running a BIQU B1(Peice of Crap) using BIQU’s HS2 V2 lite(love that, though) extruder. One print went fine, and then I was suddenly overextruding. I had to change my steps from 930 to 250 or so. Then, after powering down and turning back on, my number needed to return to the 930 value. Very weird, especially without a shutdown.






  • I’m away now, so I can’t find sources. I just modified a good sealing container with 1.25" dowel across the middle that holds 4 rolls high in the box. Cut holes and printed fittings for the pneumatic tube fittings. Put silica litter in the bottom. Now I have 4 rolls in a dry box, cheap, that each have their own port at the top of my printer. I’d recommend, though, trying to put each roll on its own roller, as that’s kind of a pain.
