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?

    Edit: As covered elsewhere in this particular comment thread, this was indeed a joke. I take it back.

    And, I think we can all agree, OP needs to share how they’ve achieved what may turn out to be the perfect first layer. As an Ender3 owner, I’ve all but given up trying to achieve this, so open to any tips or tricks I haven’t tried.

      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

          (Edit: I thought I should contribute something to the subject at hand too so I’ll just say, as an Ender owner, I’m quite jeallous of op’s first layer.)

            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.

      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.

        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.

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