Amberdrake Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I print PLA+ most of the time, ABS requires an enclosure and its not worth in my opinion. PETG is also great but its a bit expensive.Did you go SKR1.3 for the 32-bit processing?My ender 5 was the model that came factory fitted with the silent board and TMC2208's. Only real noise comes from cooling fans which are quite noisy. Considering doing a bullseye mod or similar. Also looking with interest at a Hemera/BL touch combo.I went Skr1.3 because it was cheap at the time and had a set of drivers laying around. I bought the 2209 ones on special few months after.I was going to upgrade to a ramps or other advanced board but the cost compared was ridiculous.It should also be noted the Silent board was only release after I got the 1.3. I Printed myself a custom probe using a servo and optical endstop. It works particularly well besides one glitch where it retracts when it shouldn't (I suspect it's interference from power lines for the heater still problem something ill address at some point). I would recommend this over BLtouch as it costs <R200 for the parts and works better from reliability test results. Hermera Is nice and if going direct drive that's the only one id buy. Its cost is a bit of a issue. There is a speeddrive conversion thats printable that I have considered if i get PETG to print. I have bullseye installed second one due to PLA cracking, use washers to distribute force(not indicated in instructions). Also considering changing to a Hero Me or blowers on the Bullseye so you can buy 24v sunon maglev 20x40 fans (they arnt available in 10x40 so wont fit some mounts) these are way better than noctua as they maintain same airflow with same inproved sound. I dont have mine installed yet but busy with it. I just got a two trees titan drive as well that's very light bit concerned about the lever arm but I think it will work fine and is supper light with a pancake speed drive might work well. I got it from Next Dimension electronics in somerset west R220. Pancake id have to order. There is a big problem with standard boards, they do not have the onboard memory/Processing to allow use of advanced functions such as UBL, Linear Advanced, S-curve, Junction Deviation, Full LCD Menu (The standard board comes with way way reduced LCD control). It becomes a rabbit hole of upgrades, At some point one wonders if its not easier to just buy a new one with the features but I doubt id get as good as I have now for any reasonable price.

Amberdrake Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 My new lawyer managed to organise a round table, and came back with something we can work towards somewhat, then the official in writing offer comes and it's completely different. My lawyer isn't impressed at all and as such doesn't seem like will resolve anytime soon. My class should start tuesday so looking forward to that. Steven Knoetze (sk27) and gemmerbal 2
Disylizzy Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Just out of curiousity, how long did it take you guys to start dating again after your divorce?
New Landy new life Posted March 2, 2020 Author Posted March 2, 2020 For me was about 6 months but that was actually too soon. Serious relationship was after a year Disylizzy and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Just out of curiousity, how long did it take you guys to start dating again after your divorce?I don't think there's a right answer for this... me, after 6 months-ish. Colleague of mine, 2 weeks. Depends entirely on you. Disylizzy 1

Good advice, I also think it depends on the situation and the individual.If it is a bitter or sudden break-up it may need more time otherwise you just carry the baggage into the next relationship.It will also depend on whether you want to date just to get out, or date to look for a serious relationship. 6 months seems like a fair amount of time to deal with the previous relationships baggage and move on.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 'Sup Myles! I was just wondering because I want to meet people again, but the thought of dating is giving me the heebie jeebiesLol. Indeed,I know exactly what you mean. At the same time, the only way you can tell if it's the right time is by jumping in, and hoping you don't snag a crazy. ???? Spoke101, GrahamS2, Amberdrake and 1 other 4

And the only thing that comes easily to mind is online dating, and the idea of sifting through garbage/lies/dick pics to get to some gem is very off-putting Hairy 1
