Well, the "restart after power interruption" feature of my #Prusa Mk4 #3Dprinter is getting well and truly tested out this evening. Bit of a storm on in this neck of the woods, and my printer isn't on the backup circuit (it's complicated).

I ended up featured in the #Hackaday Podcast #318 (40:30) and they called my design "exquisite" after which I couldn't get my T-shirt over my head.

Lots of other amazing #3Dprinter stuff in there too BTW, some of which is relevant to micron-scale reproduction.

No Mad Scientist creation is complete without an eldritch purple glow.
#RepRapMicron can now control a weeny little resin-setting UV LED with M8/M9 GCODE, which in English means I can now in theory program the thing to automatically 3D print layered objects, and it can become a proper #3dprinter

For the 3D printing nerds: I'm having a problem with my Ender 3 Pro, and I'm not entirely sure what to tweak to get better performance out of it.
Basically, the part starts out as one contiguous circle, then once it's past the base, there's an outer ring, and then some small protrusions. I usually have trouble printing multiple parts at once, because my build plate is far from flat (planning to swap firmware and get mesh levelling setup), but while this is sort of the same thing (the nozzle has to jump across multiple non-contiguous portions of the print during each layer), it's all happening within a total diameter of <40mm!?
Basically I can complete the entire base, then when it gets into the "sticky outy" bits, after anywhere from a couple layers, to maybe half a cm or so, my extruder starts clicking, and I run over to find it just floating above the print, obviously clogged I guess.
The weird thing is that I managed to do a couple test prints of this just fine yesterday. Now I just keep failing!
Any ideas!?
For reference, I have an Ender 3 Pro with the off brand red aluminum dual gear extruder. I'm using Elegoo PLA+ (which is what I've always used) at 210 degrees (what I've always set it at).
First photo is a couple successful test prints from yesterday (earlier iterations of this model; the one with the radiused walls had the ring as well but that snapped off after the fact... accidentally made it too thin). Second photo is my last 3 failed attempts, which appear to be failing earlier each time lol
I don't suppose anyone in or near #rdguk wants a #reprap #3dPrinter ?
I built mine years ago, and I've barely used it since. It worked well, last time I used it, but it needs a bit of fettling if you want to print over the whole bed area (there's a bearing mounting that needs to be printed and fitted).

I'm struggling to decide between the #prusa core one or the mk4s. I already own a mini+. Anyone got opinions or feedback on comparisons? #3dprinting #3dprint #3dprinter #3dprinters
oh no i can't use my #3DPrinter anymore because the manufacturer only supports x86_64
wait, someone has Reverse Engineered the library that it communicates with, making it so i can intercept the traffic, route it to my own server and communicate with my printer anyway
and here i was waiting for ghidra to install lol
