I had [previously posted](https://lemmy.world/post/10611049) about some horizontal line issues I've been having, and I tried a lot of the suggestions I got; Unfortunately the issue persists.
I saw a video today, where someone mentioned that [these](https://imgur.com/a/BFAjh9y) connections that are basically responsible for raising and lowering the printer head should be somewhat loose, and not tight (as I had them).
Does anyone know if this is true? The video creator said that it is to allow for some 'forgiveness' between the two screws that drive the printer head up and down.
It does seem like one of the screws it touching the side of the stabilizer at the top, and the other is perfectly straight and isn’t, so I might need to look into that. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Just about all of my prints have these lines at around the same heights, and I can't figure out why. I tried changing the nozzle, changing the layer height from 0.15 to 0.12, and changing the speed from 60mm to 40mm. All of these seemed to have helped a bit, yet they remain. I was thinking maybe as the prints get to a certain height, the shaking of the bed (Prusa MK2) caused the layers to be slightly offset perhaps. Anyone have any other ideas?
I'm looking to buy an intermediate level printer to upgrade from a MK2, and I'm deciding between a P1S vs a MK4.
I have never considered getting anything other than a Prusa, since I've had such good experiences using mine, however I heard that recently they've switched away from their open source model(?)
That and being made in the EU was the main differentiating factor for me, however I do hear really good things about Bambu printers.
Does anyone have experience with either?
Edit: Found a lot of the information I was looking for here: https://lemmy.world/post/9500502
I actively avoid and move away from HA type devices that do not work without WAN. There’s no reason that me pushing a GUI button to turn off a light needs to do anything more than travel to my AP, to HA and then to the light. Let’s not bring the cloud into this.
Gotcha, thank you!
