  • I assume that is because of the model you are printing and a bit because of the filament itself. Some layers seem to need more filament (top, bottom layers) then there might be infill and then there is the hollow part. The more filament per layer the faster the color transitions. I assum the darker red band towards the bottom is just part of the filament. If you want the smoothest transition you should print something that has pretty consistent layers like either something solid (infill is okay as long as it isn’t something like adaptive infill) or a vase mode print.

    A few tips that made my prints much better:

    • Check if your rollers are tight enough. None of the axes should wobble if you pull on them
    • Use a PEI sheet for printing
    • Clean the PEI Sheet with Soap and Water at least once
    • Clean with IPA after every print
    • Don’t touch the print bed. The oil on your skin really doesn’t help with sticking.
    • Get yourself a metal feeler gauge with 0.2mm. Level your bed heat nozzel and bed to your normal print temp an then move the nozzel 0.2 mm above the bed. Adjust your Z Offset until you can get the metal gauge undr the nozzle but still feel it touching. that should be your perfect height
    • If you still have problems try all the steps here one after another: https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html

    I used to have a lot of problems with parts lifting up or my prints being unclean but since I did this my prints look great and stick to the bed.




  • I don’t think an app will help you. One of the core concepts you have to learn is, how to identify a problem, deconstruct it into it’s core components and write it in way the pc understands.

    Whenever I see someone learning programming there is usually a moment when it clicks and it suddenly gets easier.

    You have to learn the basic concepts of a programming language. Usually there are a lot of concepts that are similar in different languages but also a lot of details that are not.

    I learned programming by reading and experimenting with code but that was the hard way. In your case I’d try to find a course that you like and use that. That is your starting point. When you a through you have to find your own projects to really leant how to program.








  • I agree that is sucks but my advice is purely practical. I try to be principled where I can but email is a lost cause in my opinion. I have hosted my own Mailserver. I encountered providers that only have allow lists and needed me to manually apply to allow my mail in. You have to build a reputation to not be marked as spam. Someone can just submit your domain to a block list and you have to find out how to get removed. It is a mess.

    The cold hard truth is that if you want your mail delivered reliably, don’t host yourself.
