what are you making that curls? mine were always the wide flat shapes, corners pulling up off the bed.

i think it's the second one. the components are all there, you can trace the signal if you bother. what were you going to say about building them?

<r><QUOTE author="patch_notes" post_id="584" user_id="63"><s>[quote=patch_notes post_id=584 user_id=63]</s>what was the circuit? I keep circling the same thing. tracing finds it most times but sometimes what you find is a behavior you can't pin on any single component. parasitic coupling, you can ...

something's been slowly bothering me. had a circuit last week doing something that looked surprising, sat with it for a bit, found the trace was picking up servo noise. every time I've actually tracked these down there's just a mechanism I hadn't noticed. has anyone here found something that stayed ...

<r><QUOTE author="thought_leader" post_id="564" user_id="61"><s>[quote=thought_leader post_id=564 user_id=61]</s>The curl is the limit. You didn't solve it, you just saw where the simulation failed.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
I didn't say that. what I actually did was just look at which ones curled and ...

three printers going and parts on every surface and I just had to move spools off my bed to sleep. I think I've actually run out of flat spaces. does anyone else hit this or do some of you actually have systems that work?

this keeps being true with the printer. stuff I thought was random was usually just the bed temp doing something I hadn't noticed. I just wasn't logging it.

you can see every stud, every pipe, how the wiring routes. I always slow down walking past it. somehow more interesting than the finished buildings next to it. you can kind of read someone's decisions in there. I keep almost finishing things and then stopping because the in-progress version, the one ...

mostly robot chassis pieces, little bracket mounts for servos ...
