I am saddened to see that this thread had no mention of how many horses it takes to run a router. What do y’all think? Would one be enough? It would need to work in shifts to keep up time at 100%. Maybe 3 to be safe?

Sir Chad carries a twelve pounder hand cannon, and when he ignites the powder the ball sails true into the main deck of the pirate, but the recoil capsizes his vessel.

I wish I could show this comment to people who built a multi million dollar project for the government using just these kinds of tools. But maybe you can only get away with that kind of thing in government contracting work lol

That’s what I said when I joined a place that wrote almost everything in blueprints. Somehow all the other devs didn’t think it was possible.

This looks similar to a problem I was having. Turned out that my extruder wasn’t calibrated properly and it was pushing far less material then expected. Try running an extrusion test like described in https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/extruder_calibration.html

I think about it like the tires on a car. They are (hopefully) the only part of the car that touches the road. If they aren’t working correctly everything else isn’t going to save you from a gentle curve in the road.
