Ok guys, I'm breaking down and posting here to see if anyone has any ideas. I'm greatful for any advice.

I have an upgraded flsun SR. I recently lost my computer (psu issue, waiting for replacement) and I took this opportunity to switch from Cura to Orcaslicer.

Over-all I'm very happy, and getting some good speeds, but I just cannot remove stringing no matter what I try:

• Retraction from 0-7mm. After about 3mm, no further effect
• Retraction speed from 30mm/s-50mm/s. No noticable effect
• Travel speed and acceleration both high (up to 350mm/s and 6000 accel. No effect
• Temp from 205-215 with no effect
• Dried filament and different colours, no effect
• Wipe on retract on and off, up to 2mm wipe distance and 100% retraction. No effect
• Messed with scarf seams on and off, no effect
• No effect from layer heights

My setup:

• Printer - FLSun SR running klipper with a speede pad
• Filament - Esun PLA+
• Upgrades - Deported fans, OMG v2 extruder, volcano hotend and high flow cht nozzle

Background:

I am running a mostly stock flsun Super Racer, which had been running pretty well on Marlin. I was having a few problems with print quality at high speed, and in an attempt to improve this I bought the flsun Speeder Pad, flashed it with stock klipper, and got it all up and running. So far so good.

I have been trying to get rid of an annoying stringing issue that I never really had on Marlin, and the more I try to remedy it, the worse it's getting.

The image is from my latest retraction tower test after re-calibrating pressure advance and rotation_distance. I'm really not sure where to go from here.

Settings from the above test:

• Esun PLA+
• 220C (for maximum flow)
• 1000mm/s acceleration (low for a delta)
• 0.1mm z-hop on retract
• Firmware retract control running in test tower mode, 0mm start, 0.1mm factor
• Pressure advance of 0.236

Upgrades from stock:

• Lighter hotend housing
• Deported fans
• Fan ducts

Any advice is greatly appreciate!

UPDATE: It was the filament. I grabbed a spool of grey from my drying cabinet, and only later (after much hair pulling!) realized it was the budget filament I'd bought to try. Switched it out to some good quality esun PLA+ and the stringing practically vanished! See image for final stringing test.

Final retraction settings: 3.5mm at 35mm/s.

I would like to thank everyone for their help! Lemmy is always the best place to get advice!

I didn't know the final report had been released already, but after an interview on RNZ National today I went looking for the actual report.

Some very interesting recommendations. Here are some highlights:

Policy settings

1. We recommend that the Government adopt policy settings to encourage developments in digital assets and blockchain in New Zealand.

Regulatory frameworks 2. Because it is early in the development of digital assets and blockchain, we recommend that the Government and regulatory agencies proceed carefully and do not design and implement a fully integrated and consistent regulatory framework for digital assets at this point in time.

Primary regulator role 8. We recommend that there should be no primary regulator for digital assets, as digital assets cover a spectrum of use cases, well beyond investment.

“Blockchain-sprints” 11. We recommend that the Digital Assets Cross-Agency Working Group hold “blockchain-sprint” equivalent or similar events to develop new ideas and strategies for industry growth.

Education 14. We recommend that secondary and tertiary educational institutions consider developing courses in relation to digital assets, blockchain, and the broader Web3 context, as part of a wider focus on technology (and its place in New Zealand’s future).

Central bank digital currency 22. We recommend that the Reserve Bank continue with design work on its central bank digital currency.

Interesting things here. Clearly the recommendation is for the government to embrace and encourage Blockchain technology, and not to regulate it too heavily.

I'm curious to see what comes of this.

Sounds like the worst case scenario has come to pass, unfortunately. Very sad news.

First time this has happened to me here in NZ. Just received a call to my cell, from an 027 number. A robotic voice then said

This is a One NZ urgent notice. Your account is about to go out of service. Press 1 for English, and 2 for Chinese

Of course I hung up, and checking my One NZ app which naturally had no issues. These kinds of things seem to be becoming more and more common. I wonder if more people are falling for them, or if the scammers are just more desperate?

Does anyone know how to report a phone number?

Hi guys,

I used the Docker install from here. It was easy to get Automatic1111's web interface up and running, but I'm trying to add new models and I can't figure out how to do it.

I've created a /data/StableDiffusion folder (which didn't exist), and added model files from /data/models, with no effect. I've added them to /data/models/stable-diffusion (which already exists), with no effect. Is there another location where the files are stored? Do I need to do something else to get them to work?

ETA: Discovered I was using the wrong file type (.pth) instead of the correct one (.ckpt). When I tried it with that file type it works perfectly. Thank you everyone for your quick responses and help! Y'all were way faster and more helpful than Reddit!

What client, if any, do you guys use on your phone? I've been using Jerboa, but it has its problems so I'm wondering if there's a better option?

So, I see r/NZ is back. That's it? What an anemic protest. I guess I'm honestly surprised more people don't care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.

Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won't see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.

I am trying Lemmy for the first time, and have subscribed to a community on another instance as a test (https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing).

I can see the posts come though, but few if any of the comments are there. Obviously if I visit the community directly they show up, but then I can't post/comment as my account is with this instance.
