It is mostly targeting french content (RD is a french company), so most user may have not see a big change. For french, RD has become muche less attractive because RD has banned biggest french torrent site and 1fichier files are scanned, if file matches hash content from movies/series it will blocked download.

And if that’s doesn’t work, message me and we will try to solve this out

Have you tried a Factory reset?

Not the answer you are waiting but there is something wrong with your shield, I have a 2015 and 2019 Shield and both are just very good even if the first one has nearly 10 years

I don’t use orca, but you may have a setting to reduce retraction in infill. This is for reducing printing time. You can disable it (if there is this setting)

Hot water can also be useful in some case (not boiling hot), also help to avoid burned marked due to a flame (in particular with white filament)

Pla and Petg are fine but as already talked, they are other things to take in consideration. Best thing you can do is to apply a coating of food safe epoxy.

You can use a slicer feature which will pause at some specific layer, if you have a dedicated app on your phone, it will notify you that printer has been paused.

It’s either over extruding or a bed level issue. First level bed again and if it still happening calibrate your extrusion flow. Since you had adhesion issue, probably just bed leveling will solve issue. If bed is well leveled and still have adhesion issue, clean your bed with basic soap and hot water (and avoid touching bed with your hand as much as possible)

Don’t know where you heard that but micro Swiss hotend has been really popular until dragon hotend came out. I’m not saying it is better than dragon but was known to work great. About prices, it might depend where you live as I just checked right now and dragon is more expensive than micro Swiss.

Oh, then I guess I didn’t understand OP correctly as I understood he has a Bowden setup with his orbiter. Thanks

Don’t know which printer you have but if your main interest is a direct drive setup over Bowden, chances are that you can setup your orbiter 1.5 as direct drive by printing some adapter.

What papalonian said is right, when this machine came out it was expensive but as today standard, this machine isn’t worth much so don’t spend a lot of money on it. Every plastic part that you see can be printed with your printer. Should be available in their GitHub page. Nonetheless, it’s a great printer to learn 3d printing

Cura can ignore what’s below buildplate as long as part isn’t too big for X Y axes. For cutting this, I would use 3d builder. Very easy to use. Just open model, and go to modify to cut model

Can second that email works great to send Epub, never had issues in years

While turning down temperature might help as it will be less fluid, i tend to think that increasing retraction might give him other problems (unless is settings are really low). On pictures we only see stringing at the top where printing areas are very small which means much more retraction are needed. His issue could be related to maximum retraction count and/or minimum extrusion distance, when those numbers are reached, printer will not retract filament to protect grinding too much filament. Others parameters to look out are retraction speed and prime speed but since OP didn’t share settings, no way to tell what he could try.

To OP, please share your printing settings.

Thanks mate, did make a mistake…

Might post later about my A1 as I have a question that will fit here.

I’m not 100% sure but this might also depend which OS you are running on your pi. Did change from SD card to SSD few years back for my home assistant setup (now running with a mini pc) at the time I went for a geekpi adapter (can’t recall exact model).

Try a quick ducduck search “sata adapter #yourOS#” and see if a list come up. Here is one for HA (but surely more models are compatible than the ones listed here) https://community.home-assistant.io/t/working-usb-enclosures-and-adapters-with-hassos/212763

Edit: as for SSD, I went for Samsung EVO model

Sidenote: all SSD will be more reliable than a sd card because they are less sensitive to rewrite counts

I don’t see why you think those are web based, usually people run this at home but glad you find what you are looking for
