One painful firmware update later and the z-offset bug that has plagued me since getting the Neptune 4 Pro is finally resolved and first layers are good again just like that. I just had to share the thrilling end result.

      Why be like that? Why be the person that has to piss on someone’s parade, when all they want to do is share a small, personal win?

        It was indeed a joke, partly on the unforseeability of 3D printing, but also partly at celebrating too early. You don’t celebrate a champions league win, when you have a lead at the half time.

            It’s true though! some times we read into things, what we expect. so it’s good to have it clarified!

          You also don’t celebrate when you are near to the finish line. The number of videos of athletes starting to celebrate near the finish line and then getting passed by the guy in second is just astonishing.

        I read it less as them shitting on them and more them making a joke about how things tend to immediately go wrong the second you say anything positive about it.

          Exactly. If we’re saying the joke should have been funnier we’d have something to talk about, but let’s not fuss about it either way.

          My Ender Max sits in printer jail even now, for the crime of resisting my useless efforts to get the damn thing working.

            It makes me so happy every time I see a thread that starts with the potential to get heated but ends up in normal conversation / being defused.

            What I want to say is, the internet is a better place with y’all <3

              I value critical thinking so, when someone else is able to point out how I haven’t engaged mine, I’m more than happy to accept there’s alternate perspectives I hadn’t considered.

      Haha thankfully the first layer really was flawless, but I had to cancel this print for unrelated reasons pretty soon after posting anyways. Turns out I was so excited to finally get printing again, I forgot to re-enable supports in the slicer after the last thing I printed a while ago didn’t need them.
