My guess would be hotend not feeling so good. Those white spots look like result of temperature changes.
If you can read hotend thermistor data somehow (OctoPrint, for example, shows a chart for that) and see lots of sudden ±2-5°C changes - that’d be it.
Once had a scammer tryna catfish me in a similar way.
Some time into conversation other person randomly mentions “by the way, I do webcams, you can see here [website]… and yeah, it will ask for credit card data - but it’s just to keep kiddies out”. 🌝
At place where I teach, only small minority of students pays tuition, most have their education paid by state.
Saddest part is that reason to study for most of them is simply pressure from their parents or from peers, so good luck finding motivation in there.
I had to do online lessons during pandemic using Teams. And I forgot to document attendance of the students, and searching through chat was tedious. That’s when I figured that Teams API is also shit af, that instead of attendees returns list of people who were invited to call.
Oh, I often share pictures with my friends, but I’ll definitely consider one day posting to baking community.
Sad that it had to happen to you.
I also absolutely acknowledge that in society that we have today - things like cooking or even basic ones like proper hygiene (as in not using one bar of soap for everything) are something that is expected from women by default, but men doing that are treated as something special.
That said, I’m kind of a hypocrite since while I tout about all that, I definitely used my baking to impress women. 🌝
There was once a conversation at my work through which I discovered that most of my male coworkers enjoy baking (and yes, I also enjoy baking).
Simultaneously funniest and saddest part of that was one lady sitting through that conversation with thousand yards stare, who previously said that her husband, in terms of household chores, doesn’t even know how to use washing machine.
I have a functioning ancient Canon printer in my office that can do that. 🌚
Would still be using it if not for safety concerns regarding old laser printers.
I’ve had Ender 3 V3-SE, which had been an upgrade from basic Ender 3 Pro, which, funnily enough, got glitchy from firmware flashing gone wrong.
And on topic of Creality Cloud - I’ve just used Octoprint on RPi as the latter was simply cheaper at that moment. 🌚
I’d recommend trying some budget-y CoreXY-type printer, but I’d be very careful with Creality lineup on that, as many of their options didn’t really turn out well, basic K1 is straight up dogwater, but some later revisions like KE might be better.
Mentioned already Elegoo Centauri is cool. If you want multi-filament system as well - take a look at Centauri Carbon 2, although it gets a bit less efficient with keeping temperature inside the enclosure due to big silly hat, and using different materials (e.g. different ones for supports) is going to be quite tricky.
There are more recent devices from Jolla, Finnish company. The only problem is the price, roughly the same as basic iPhone 17 (≈700€).
