It’s not that complicated. He’s just trying to get all the people he doesn’t like out of open source. With millions in the bank he can fund projects of people who think like he does or promise to.

Final edit: this worked, once I used the correct directory. Note that Steam gives no indication that it found the files except to skip right to “Verifying”.

That folder only contains the folder “Steam Controller Configs” on both drives.

Edit: found them at ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common on the old drive

Hmm this might work, except I have no space left on the 500GB drive.

I saw a couple mentions of that, but never found the setting to add it…

Oh no! We suck again!

🤦 thanks for this

The instructions I followed are in the description of the following video. A lot of what happens with this project is hidden away on Discord servers and I suspect what makes it out to the web has gone through the slop filter.

The bottom line is that I thought this might help with random crashes I’d been having with a particular emulator. Unfortunately it had the opposite effect and the same emulator now consistently hard-locks the system after this “fix”.

Seems that way

Finally some unbiased Linux reporting from… windowslatest dot com.

Thanks for this! Yes, I do know they aren’t necessary related. However, I had no problems with the Z-offset on my machine until I did auto bed leveling. And subsequent leveling have also left the nozzle too high for proper adhesion (at least with PLA). So they are related in terms of my process of adjustment, whereby I have to adjust Z-offset after a bed level.

For the first few months I’ve had the machine, it’s moved around my shop a bit so I have been running bed leveling more frequently than perhaps normal, since I assumed movement is bad for leveling. Now I think I have it somewhere semi-permanent it should be less of an issue going forward.

I can also adjust Z-offset on-the-fly, which I usually do during a specific bed leveling test print.

What did you replace it with?

I didn’t even time it to remove right after completion, that’s just when I came back to the shop after dinner. But it did feel warm, so maybe it had just finished. Judging by the print, though, it was pretty thoroughly embedded… I’m not sure any amount of cooling would have helped, but now I’ll never know!

I’ve been trying to figure out what the Ender 3 V3 SE comes with by default, simply so I can order another. But it definitely has a textured coating of some kind.

What would you recommend instead?

I’d not heard anything negative about Ender, and until now have not had issues. I even printed this giant-ass computer case and fan shrouds with good success: https://www.printables.com/model/1616167-amd-bc-250-case-atx-psu-fan-duct

I think the problem in this case is my inexperience, and unearned confidence due to previous success.

This is good advice, thank you. The printer did include another nozzle, although I don’t know what size it is. Or even the process for changing it. The plate is double-sided so I have something to work with until a replacement arrives.

I’ll do an auto-level, write down the Z-offset, and then print the leveling test in each material, resetting Z-offset in between, and noting the relative adjustment.

No I did not change plates. I’ve been using the included plate without issue … until now!

It’s just the default firmware, V1.0.6.

Z-offset is set at 0 in all the gcode I’ve checked so I think it’s the printer.

Thanks for confirming… luckily these plates are double-sided so I have a backup while I order a replacement. As I mentioned in another post, the auto-leveling leaves the nozzle just a bit too high and so I’ve consistently had to lower it. I primarily print in PLA and so usually do my bed-leveling prints in that material. I’ve previously used PET-G with zero issues, so something about the sequence of leveling and adjusting must be different this time around.

Now I know to run the leveling each material change, which is annoying but probably not too surprising.
