I'm on book 3 of the tyrant philosophers series from Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's been pretty good it reminds me of some parts in the Malazan books

    Currently listening to warlords of wyrdwood by rj barker. I'm really having to dig for every new fantasy book series that ISN'T romantasy slop. Thankfully new books from authors like James Islington and Robert jackson Bennett are around to save me.

    I tried a few different flow ratios and it didn't fix but while printing it randomly hit a line of filament that didn't seem to have any carbon fiber in it and it was fine.

    Anyways I think I'm just going to avoid this filament it was 16 bucks which should have been my first sign and it smells like abs not asa. To top it all off it leaves a weird oily residue whic h stops the next print from sticking to the build plate.

    I got some cheap asa cf off amazon and the texture is really weird it looks almost like cordura.

    Printed this vertically to match the layers to another part its being attached to.

    Print settings:

    Line width .62

    Line height .24

    Temp 270 -260

    Flow ratio .95

    UPDATE: fixed? filament spent 2 days in the dryer at 70c and and im using a 0.8 nozzle instead of a 0.6 nozzle no more lizard skin. my best guess is moisture was boiling off from the cf bits in the filament and causing lots of tiny bubbles.

    still don't recommend this brand of filament(eryone) i'll be sticking with isanmate and sunlu.

    fortunately I've had no trouble with Krita for drawing or animation, and the calibration thing is just a minor nitpick. The tablet otherwise works perfectly I would just prefer if the cursor was very slightly to the left of the pen nib instead of directly underneath it so i could see what I'm doing better.

    Get a chamber heater if you want to print asa/abs/nylon. Also print the parts you need to exhaust fumes out the window melting plastic smells bad And is unhealthy.
