Yup, from 2.92 to 3.0.1 is between 2x faster and 10x faster in Cycles rendering, depending on your hardware.
Oh, you’re right about the never-ending avalanche of useful features, although I don’t think the Asset Browser is an improvement. I still just append.
First print turned out too thin and the fibers in the front/back surfaces didn't fully fuse. Not sure if it's because I'm not used to working with PETG filament (Ender 3, printed at 230/70°C) or if it's a settings thing.
Had to rework the Shell to fit my new choice in components (preliminary list): -18500 battery module (takes care of voltage regulation, charging and 5V and 3.3V output -Arduino Nano -DFPlayer for audio playback -passive speaker -magnets (3x1 round) to hold the shell together -5V LED strip to provide backlights for the display -white LEDs to blink/pulse Any advice or alternative recommendations?
I usually print at 230/85 first layer and 240/90 for all other layers for PETG on my Prusa. I usually use Sunlu and Eryone filaments in PETG so your setting of course could vary. I am using a Nozzle X and that may affect temps also.
Well, I can't print the shell right now (until a fresh hotend arrives), but at least the demo setup of the electronics is working.
Ah, this brings back fond memories of when I was but a boy, soldering my RadioShack electronics experimental kits. Little micro burns just about everywhere from the solder or soldering gun — stupid clumsy hands!
