  1. I want to note that I just had the bottom layer, of a drawer that I was printing, not show up in the print or preview for a completely different reason: Despite it being six layers (.2 resolution) thick, when I used Exclusive as my slicing tolerance, there is no bottom layer. In Middle or Inclusive, the bottom of the drawer works fine. I have no idea why, though. Any ideas?
  2. He means that if you set up a printer, then go to Extruder, it only gives you from .2 to 1.mm nozzles as options. There's no obvious way to set it to 1.2mm. What YOU seem to be saying is that we can make a whole custom printer, for a single nozzle. Seems like a crappy solution.
  3. Well, but it's still not actually vase mode, right? It's both walls but with a solid interior. Spiralize is still not just doing the entire print in a single spiral upward, is it? I have a print that is also behaving insanely in spiralize mode. Two walls and a ton of travel across the print. Making it solid won't make it quickly print a single spiral up...it will still break the spiral to do both walls and the solid infill, and presumably whatever the effing path is that this is doing. Which is causing a web of stringing in my TPU print. I didn't expect to need to tweak the settings to avoid stringing, given that it's supposedly spiralized. The strangest part is that I did another model from the same thingiverse posting just a couple of months ago, and as far as I can tell it printed spiralize (in PLA) perfectly, no double walls and no ruined spiral. I don't think I've upgraded Cura since then.
  4. Did you ever figure out WHY Octoprint was corrupting it, and what it was doing? This would be really vital information. A lot of us could have such problems and not know it.
  5. Not good enough. I want to create a file to upload to Thingify, that will let other uses interrupt the build in the middle, without them having to learn how to do it.
  6. I already named a number of down-sides. Metric's units are poorly spaced, in order to work on powers of ten. Imperial's units are binary, leaving units close to whatever size you want. Ironically, even with the wider spacing, the choices in metric are so poor that most of them are ignored. Nobody uses decimeters, or hectometers. Essentially, Imperial evolved to have units that are maximally convenient, while metric was set up by short-sighted bureaucrats who thought that unit conversion...irrelevant to most people...was the only criterion relevant. It's much as if everyone had been forced to use Beta, because the "experts" said it was better, when in fact VHS was superior in all the ways that mattered to normal people.
  7. When the state FORCES you do to a thing, that's not freedom...no matter how much your masters tell you otherwise.
  8. In fact, no country on the planet has voluntarily switched to metric, because for normal human beings it's inferior to, say, the Imperial system. The only thing "better" about it is the conversion of units, but in reality almost nobody outside of government bureaucracy and engineering/science converts units often, if at all. In every other way, the Imperial system is better. It has major units closer to those natural to use, and tends to be binary instead of decimal, so that even sub-units are generally closer to what someone needs at any given time. Even when it comes to conversion, the main problem is bureaucrats too stupid to be able to do math if it's not a simple decimal system. And it's a damned shame that our numeric system is decimal, instead of some power of two, like hexadecimal, or at least base 12. Because of this, each country only "switched" when the soulless state bureaucrats pushed their corrupt political class to force people to switch. Otherwise, people would have continued using the system that works better for them. In the US, there is no state power to force people to switch...fortunately.
