Pretty much every day. I think it's because we have a limited capacity and for many of us our job requires us to mask to some degree and it just takes all of our energy, even if it isn't physically or even intellectually demanding. There's no reason I should feel completely drained and demotivated by just sending emails, but it is what it is.

I try to go somewhere quiet and lay on the floor or something. Or literally touch grass - get feet in the dirt, listen to the wind in the trees, that sort of thing. And stay away from screens for a bit. I'm still trying to find ways to help regulate my nervous system since I need different things on different days but those are some of the most effective for me.

I got the EIBOS one on Amazon. Not sure it is that different from the Sunlu and others that have been mentioned but it works fine for me. I had a very humid house, lile 60%+ in the summer. I had a lot of problems with petg and even pla before I got that box and none after. We just moved and new house is thankfully normal humidity, but I'm still using it

Oh sweet! I haven't heard of that one. I'll check it out

That sounds like a fun way to do it!

I use Cura 5.4 and the only changes I made were to the start and end gcode for the machine (per the guild I linked). After that, I did a few prints with my regular profiles, then started cranking up the speed a little at a time. So really the only setting I changed was the print speed and start / end gcode.

The printer handled everything else - honestly it feels a little like magic to me, even though it's just software. I'm a software engineer so I feel like I should have a better grasp of it, but printer firmware is pretty far outside of the type of work I do. One thing I do know is that Klipper manages acceleration itself and doesn't use the acceleration gcodes sent from the slicer - those get ignored and Klipper decides how fast to accelerate (this is configurable using moonraker or the config files).

I think the thing that makes the most difference in letting you print at higher speeds is the input shaping. I don't understand all the inner workings, but it using the processing power on the raspberry pi to compensate for the vibration of the printer, letting you print much faster without getting artifacts in the print that affect quality. Here is some info on that

I'm sure there are a lot of slicer and Klipper configurations that I can do to improve things even more as well

I also recommend writing down symptoms - For me it varies a lot from day to day and it can be difficult to remember what the more extreme symptoms are like when I'm not experiencing them.

[-] Jtskywalker@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That's a great idea! I did start writing some things down but not with dates or times so I'll start a proper log

Probably my favorite RPG - Such a rich environment and a totally unnecessary amount of lore and background information in all of the included books and dialogue. Really set me up to be severely unfulfilled by everything else Bethesda made after that point.

I will try that! I have never had to worry about it in the past so that will be an adjustment

Great little machine! I have one as my first and only printer and I have been loving it. Prints PETG and TPU very well

Thank you! I love reading other anecdotes as well and that is a big part of why I decided to get diagnosed and try medication.

Yeah I definitely want to re-work the whole power supply stuff. I'm not at all happy with that either. Thanks for the feedback! I have had my arduino for like 2 days so I haven't figured out all the options yet lol

I can upload the cad file if you want to use some of the design, but it's pretty messy. I know enough about fusion 360 to know I'm not using all the right tools
