Having soldered many of both, I should have noticed. I literally just threw out a big pile of both that have been loitering in storage for years. I'm still surprised when old tech (for any random definition of "old") pops up.

Serial cables. How quaint.

I have two. You can borrow one for a while.

I wish I could upvote this twice.

Thursdays. I never did get the hang of Thursdays.

I printed a tower a few days ago and it looks good anywhere from 200 to 215. I'm going to keep trying though.

z offset / nozzle height seems to be the thing. I've raised it up and it looks better. After that I played with the temp a bit and it seems to be happier around 210-215 though there is more stringing.

So far, all attempts at ironing have been a disaster, both zig zag and concentric. I'm going to continue dialing in the z offset and temp before ironing.

too hot? too cold? (lemmy.world)

This is layer 2 or 3. It will be covered by the next few layers but I feel like it shouldn't be this fugly. I'm using Cura's Standard Quality except for temp which is set to 205. The filament is Inland PLA.

 

I have a Zoom65v2 that's almost perfect but doesn't support QMK so I've been shopping around and wanted to get the community's opinions before making a decision.

My criteria:

  • size: 60-65%
  • firmware: QMK
  • layout standard: ansi
  • layout ergonomics: normal
  • hot-swappable: required, my soldering days are behind me
  • per-key RGB (QMK rgb_matrix) is a must have
  • underlighting (QMK rgblight) would be a plus

The kprepublic bm60/bm68 and Tofu 60/65 (2.0) are currently at the top of my list. I have a bm40 that I could only love more if it had more code space.

(I'm selling the Zoom65v2 if anyone is interested.)

 

I just finished my Zoom65 V2 with kailh box jades and cheap Amazon caps. The sound is ok but I want something "deeper" and louder from the alpha keys. What do y'all suggest? Pulling out the foam in the bottom of the case and underside of the PCB definitely helped. I've done the tape mod and plan to do the holee mod when I open it up again.

 

Kinda the only thing I miss about reddit TBH.
