I think they make like 200 shows a year, so sometimes they actually make good stuff by accident

I don’t think it’s gonna get cheaper than renewables, they’re literally using free energy without needing any human intervention aside from inspection and repairs. The issue is the oil and gas companies paying the politicians. Also right-wing parties that do everything they can to keep emissions up just cause. No new technology can fix those issues.

I activated both ramped lift and wipe on retract but it didn’t help. I could do that with the video but I’m not sure how that would help me, the stringing clearly starts as soon as the nozzle moves away. I could also do a retraction test but the retraction settings Sovol themselves recommend should work fine, my printer isn’t somehow different, after all. I even halfed the retraction speed and activated those settings I was talking about at the beginning.

How could I check if the nozzle is clogged?

That speed is already faster than what my printer settings were. I have tested lower print speeds tho but it didn’t make a difference.

Might be. I was printing at 215°C and then tried 190 and 200. 200 seems to have slightly better results than the other 2.

I could try a lower temperature but I don’t know what a temp tower is

Edit: I just looked up what a temp tower is, makes sense to try that in general to find the optimal temperature

I’m gonna try it at the temperature and time prusa recommends then

At this point I’m very sure that the drive speed is actually the bottleneck. I’m not sure why it’s so slow tho. Splitting it is an interesting idea, maybe it’s also possible to tell ffmpeg to only extract every 6th frame and start at a different frame for each of the 6 cores.

I just did a rough calculation where I did estimated size of png / estimated size of jpg * fps of png and the value was roughly in the ballpark of what the fps for jpg were, so I’m very sure it’s the drive
