That’s what I imagined I’d see or hear and I’m not seeing any of that. I’ll take a closer look again though now that I know for sure. Thanks!

Not that I’m aware of as I don’t hear any odd noise from the extruder or see marks on the filament. I’m new to this though so I probably don’t know what to look for. What told you that yours was slipping?

I played around with retraction a bit, but I’ll give that another shot. Thanks for the input.

It seems to be randomly within a layer rather than at the start and changes to retraction don’t seem to improve it. Oddly enough, I’m noticing on a more recent print that it seems to happen more frequently within supports (generated by Cura), which I think are printed faster.

I’ll try drying the filament. All of my Creality filament is from Amazon, where as the Inland stuff is all from my local Micro Center. I wonder if the filament from Amazon is just sitting around for a while, or in poor conditions.

There’s a test pad on the PCB labeled “LT” (left trigger). I used that and compared it’s resistance to ground to that of the right trigger’s test pad. I got about 6-10k ohms on the working one (right trigger), and 3.9-4.4 on this one.

It has 3 pins, and I found that it’s a linear (B), 10k ohm (130, as you said), potentiometer. I found similar ones, but the 9 and 5 at the top concern me. The others that I found have a 60 and a 6 there instead.

I mostly do my own work, but whenever I do take my car to the local Mazda dealer, they always provide a full inspection report as well as a video of the tech checking everything and explaining anything that they’ve found. Even when my wife takes her car in for only basic maintenance (it’s still under warranty so we take it in for oil changes), they do the same thing and don’t charge anything extra.

Same dealer network owns the local Ford dealer and I ended up taking my old Fiesta ST there for an oil change as I didn’t have the space to do it myself at the time. $45 for an oil change and tire rotation, and I got the same inspection report and video.

A while ago, there was something that showed the higher failure rate of various components on EVs because of the lack of routine service that has cars have. Basically, gas cars get a service and inspection every 5-10k miles when the oil is changed and any worn bearings, bushings, etc. are found. EVs don’t have that so things go unnoticed until they fail. Could this be the same? Could the “reliability” concerns just be normal wear that isn’t getting caught since there are no routing inspections?

This is interesting as I’m looking for the opposite answer. I want my Deck to wake up when I turn on my Xbox controller, but it doesn’t right now unless I wake it up with the power button first. If you find something outside of this thread, please let me know.

Don’t scare me like that!

My mother did that so I ended up doing the same in elementary school. It took me a while, but I realized how disgusting it was and have been using cloths, or my shirt, for most of my life.

My father-in-law shares a name with a famous actor. We got him to sign my partner’s motorcycle helmet so they can go around and say they got their helmet signed by the actor. We use it to mess with our friends a lot.

Agreed on the Miata! I had a '19 GTS that I bought new. Sold it a while ago and bought a really clean '94 when my employer went fully remote and I’ve always wanted an NA.

Nestle has a 20% stake in L’Oreal, but they don’t own the company.

Same for the Miata community. I miss my daily dose of pop up headlights.
