Yeh, again I’m not sure how efficient using water is but my instinct says it will be a lot better than any mechanical system as they are generally very inefficient!

I’m going to preface this by saying, all I know is that know about the subject was one physics class in college… The teacher mentioned Hydro Pump Storage that pumps water into a reservoir when there is an excess of energy generation then releases it through turbines when there is a surge is energy needs on the grid. Wouldn’t this idea work in a very similar way? If so it would seem feasible as about 15% of the UKs STOR requirements are met in this way.

Who wants to do the exact maths to work out the sea level rise of all of this melting? My back of an envelope calculation gives me 4cm, but happy to be proved wrong! I did 1600km3 over 75% of 510,000,000km2

I also found a huge difference between filaments. Creality was terrible for me, Reflow is great

This really summarises the passive aggressive level you get to with a 3D printer: “Lift off the bed now you little fucker!”

So a combination of three changes finally got me back the correct result.

1. Changed the nozzle for a brand new one, that helped a lot but still had a fee issues.
2. Remeasured my extrusion amount and recalibrated the e-steps, they had gone quite a way out.
3. Reduced the temp by 10°C apart from the first layer.

Thanks for your help!

I will check that, I hope its that as that would be an easy fix. Also I only use matte filament.

When you say pressure of the z-axis, do you know what they meant exactly? Not sure it could be temp as it’s the same, however I did change the part cooling fan in case that was faulty and the material wasn’t cooling fast enough

I still have this problem. The right side of the x axis is loose on the upright for me. Adding a dual z-axis didn’t help much, it still sacks sometimes. Next step is to add a cr-touch or completely rebuild. I’d also like to hear some other ideas for permanent fixes
