It kinda depends on what your goal is. Is it making a custom filament? or are you thinking of blending colors on the go? And are you looking for commercially available solutions?

If you’re looking for commercial solutions, then your guess is as good as mine. I know you can get filament recycling systems, where you crush failed prints and supports before then extruding usable filament. But I think that’s not what you’re looking for.

Going the tinker route instead, I think it was CNC kitchen that experimented with extruding their own filament by printing spiral of thick filament and then running it through a 1.75mm nozzle. They even got their logo embedded, and it was detectable in the finished prints layers.

But if you’re looking to blend on the go then maybe some manual g-code manipulation and custom hotends could work. But given that I asked about experiences with dual input hotend like the one below, and all the answers were along the lines of “don’t even bother”, I guess that you having to do a triple or quad input hotend won’t make it more likely to succeed.

Not anymore, you just got pwned. I found your IP, 127.0.0.1 btw, and reverse engineered your proxy to put it’s firewall on the blockchain.

100k rounds? Of what? If that was anything but 22lr that dude would be needing new suspension for his truck. I mean a 5.56x45 is 12.3g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.56×45mm_NATO meaning 100k is 1230kg.

Though it would be remarkable if it had been 100k RPGs

Easy peacy lemon squeezy: handing in ballots in batches of 1. It will as inefficient as the validation process.

I know OCR and a bit of AI and would be the obvious solution, but that’s only if OpenAI or Anthropic contributes enough to the Trump slush fund Presidential Library. I’ll bet good money that there’s going to be warehouses of USPS workers desperately trying to manually validate ballots in time.

It’ll be a shit show like Florida 2000 all over again, except this time people wouldn’t even get to vote before having their ballot discarded… And country wide

Maybe a rebuild will fix whatever is causing this. Because when you experience:

1. Stuck filament
2. Underextrusion

That does sound like a strictly a failure in the filament movement system. And I can only think of

1. Grinding extruder, which can also be a symptom of the following
2. Unstable temperature
3. Clogged nozzle

And since clearing the nozzle didn’t work, and you don’t find signs of grinding, nor observe temperature swings, then I’m out of ideas.

Do you happen to have spare nozzles? Maybe try swapping the nozzle and see if it was still clogged? I’ve had nozzles that I just couldn’t clear.

If temp is stable try having a look at the filament. Is the extruder grinding the filament?

It could also be a case of a blocked nozzle. Though that doesn’t explain the stuck filament. scratch that I just reread your post

When starting with an unpowered printer, i.e. the first print after powering printer up, does the issue happen at any part of the print, or only after a little while?

Without knowing what printer you have I offer this advice:

Does your printer keep the temperature? I had a creality cr6 that underextruded and in my case it was bad capacitors on the heating element circuit.

My favorite is saying "send an SMS to [SO’s name]“ reading it correctly recognized on the display, only to be told “sorrry I can’t send SMS messages yet”, giving the exact same instruction again right after, and now I can send the SMS.

But when gemini installed itself and insisted that I use it instead, I got so pissed that it lasted for about 15km of my commute home, before I pulled over and got rid of it. Now I didn’t just have to fight speech recognition, now I had to argue with a glorified toaster about putting on music.

Oh man, people who knows me would swear I could have written that comment. But truth be told I have two use cases for ga: hands free timers while cooking, and sending SMS messages while driving. Ok maybe three because setting a destination in google maps while driving is also pretty neat.

Calendar and the rest, no thank you. I can do that perfectly fine manually.

Are you saying that gemini is even worse that ga at playing music from spotify? I have a hard time believing that, but I guess nothing’s impossible if you really set your mind…

I mean asking ga to play some classic rock, and it’ll pick a live version, ask for some pop track from your youth and you get a speed metal banjo cover version.

Just make absolutely sure which end is which before going to town on a snapping turtle
