You guys aren't going to believe this!

Ok, you're totally going to believe this.

I was working on designing a photo booth for frags for my printer.
Isn't there one in the archive here?
Well.... I don't have to now. I won a Rhino's Reef 3 frag photo booth over on the Gram.
Because of course you did.

I've bought lottery tickets a couple of times. When the AZ Lottery was at $3B late last year my in-laws all threw in $20 each and I bought tickets. I think we paid $300 for $125 to split 8 ways.
any time you don't lose it all is a win isn't it?

I'm starting to get frustrated because I keep messing with things and thinking I made it better and then everything falls apart...
It happens, I think everyone goes through that stage.

Even now, I hate having to replace anything right now, I got things dialed in and I know as soon as I replace that nozzle or pulley rollers, things are going to be wack again.

Ok... I re-leveled the bed, checked the Z-axis offset at all 4 corners and we're good there. The center is low though???

Anyways, Benchy starts printing good but the front lifts just slightly.

200 degree initial layer
190 degrees after that
55 build plate, I'll try 60....

Initial layer print speed of 10
Print speed 90 after that
Combing mode All?

Fan off for initial layer
Fan on at layer 3

Coasting enabled

What am I missing?

I think I figured it out... For some reason, even with Initial layer speed at 10 the skirt prints at 10 and then the actual object jumps to 100... Weird.

Still having some adhesion issues it looks like... And maybe a retraction distance/speed issue... Not stringing but leaving actual strands it looks like.

Try blending the strands with a lower speed that promotes a higher adhesion and the retraction will run smoothly.

Oh yeah, and in reefing news I sold my two frags of Red Digitata. Gotta frag a few more chunks.

Also, the Bubble Gum is getting close to ready to frag. Same with the ROAB. Pink Cadillac nub is encrusting the frag plug. If the Mother regains her beauty, the frag may be sold eventually.

I got $10 each for the Digis and $50 for the GSP. Probably could have gotten more but I'm not trying to be greedy, just trying to help support my hobby.
The Digis were 3" frags about 3/8" diameter and branching already.
The GSP was a 4" diameter rock but the colony was 10" by 8" by 4".

It's too soon so talk about the GSP
