  • This probably depends on what you mean by “smart”

    In the old days, dumb phones were defined as devices that shipped with a set of features with users generally being unable to add new features themselves

    And smart phones could be extended by users because they allow installation of apps, etc

    But I don’t think this applies to smart watches: it seems like the difference here is that a smart watch goes beyond “dumb” by having phone/internet connectivity to display more than just times and dates





  • Howdy!

    In the Core One kit, the only pieces that are already assembled for you are things that would need soldering, e.g. electrical components like PCBs and motors

    Everything else is separate and needs to be screwed together carefully with the hundreds of different screws they provide :)

    It’s my first time assembling such a project, and my other issue is that I have a very curious toddler that was playing games with me and with the pieces when I wasn’t looking: I’m sure a much faster assembly time is possible with dedicated focus and not having to frequently stop a child from hurting themselves





  • okay, just viewing the job layer by layer, i can see that the first solid infill layer after the sparse infill is treated as an overhang/bridge and triggers 100% cooling fan (otherwise it’s at 0% for the rest of the print)

    and on some items, i can see where the delamination on this layer caused problems on the next couple of layers on top

    but, on other items, there’s still delamination happening on the very top layer even without any issues beneath it



    • Sovol3D SV06 ACE
    • OrcaSlicer recently gained a built-in profile for exactly this model, and I’ve had all sorts of issues since switching to that profile (previously I started with a generic printer profile)
    • the new profile is fine on PLA, but PETG is what I’m currently using
    • yeah, I only just learnt about the print visualisation feature, the delamination does seem to frequent the same place on the object/plate
    • it’s the 6x6 panel from https://www.printables.com/model/859807-print6-panels
    • the spans from cross hole to cross hole are short and never delaminate
    • the long straight edge-to-edge spans that dodge the holes have been troublesome
    • the plan is to reduce acceleration a bit more, and then (if that doesn’t help) reduce speed a bit (I’ve already reduced speed and filament volume anyway because of PETG)
