Printed face down on a nice clean and un-marked satin plate should give a good smooth effect.

I have an Elegoo Neptune 4 Max and if I watch the print - nothing, perfect print. If I step away - disaster. I’ve replaced the hotend several times now and the whole extrude head twice.

I can’t see the word Elegoo, so clearly more than 1 print.

I can remember - back in the day of ie3 - creating charts using tables.

You’re definitely braver than me. I get scared just updating the firmware on my Elegoo N4M.

Blimey I can imagine that was not plain sailing.

Can you tell us a little about the machine?

So I found the culprit. There was a small piece of filament stuck in the AMS causing monstrous under extrusion.

The video makes it seem that the clock was completed in a single attempt. I wonder how many times the parts needed to be re-printed to ensure size and fit accuracy. Super impressive.

I always wonder about this. Surely even if you could print a mechanism strong enough to “fire” a bullet surely the forces would destroy the parts immediately.

Excellent. And no Fine Vertical Artefacts. Nice.

Ordered. I’m not sure why I need one….. but I just love the blue.

@modbotarmy.bsky.social has a YouTube channel, I find his videos really easy to follow, and he has a Playlist of calibration tests you can run that includes what they mean and how to interpret the results. I’d start there.

Sounds like it’s time to enter the Calibration Zone.
Personally sometimes I really enjoy calibrating some filament. I like the focus and achievement.
However when there’s a new printer, just freshly opened. I JUST WANT TO F PRINT.

Looks like adhesion. Did you clean the plate?

That definitely needs a tune. What filament did you use?

I had a quick glance at the Mise site. That's a lot of features, if only there was a site where I could watch a video.
Anyhow, I think recommending Mise over rbenv or RVM will be confusing to newcomers, especially as the Ruby Language site recommends rbenv or RVM or RubyInstaller for Windows.

Reading the Install Ruby on Rails guide....
I notice that you're recommending Mise over RBENV..... (or other version manger). TBH I'd not heard of Mise until 10 minutes ago. Is this what all the cool young cats are using now? Should I - us all - be planning to move over to Mise?

Isn’t Voxel made in the US?

I’ll be interested in how you find the Qidi. My wife has veto’s any new printer purchases until after Christmas, which might be a good thing as it leaves time for Qidi to fully sort it out.

Potentially the best named discount code of 2024.

I am also afflicted with this condition. Fortunately my wife is very understanding.

Your purge tower..... how did you get that shape? Does that same improve the print or reduce the waste?

I used to think that this only included jobs that could be codified. But I now realise, even those that require some element of - difficult to describe - human reasoning are also in that line for replacement.
