Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-09-01

Final complete day: 2026-09-01. Attention was 5.3% — this entity appeared in 956 of 17,943 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (1,341 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   Dry your filament and reduce the temperature. If this is your first time printing with multicolor / silk pla from what i recall you need to reduce the temperature/speed.

   Every time I look at filament management tools I end up in the same place. Maybe it's useful for some people but for me, with 5 printers and about 80 spools in ongoing use, I don't see what I get in return for the effort required to add and maintain details. Maybe one way OpenPrintTag will actually be usable but even then I'm not sure what it gives me over a visual inspection of my spools. I guess one use case I can see is if you have a farm with 50 printers all printing the same material, it may alert you when you may have to order new filament; easier than checking 50 printers.

   What are the advantages and use cases for something like Spoolman? - I have a U1, and a hundred or so spools of filament. I spun up a spoolman container, but I really am not seeing a lot of value in it for a one person, one printer setup. Filling in details on every spool I have so I know how much is left doesn't seem to help me in any way. As long as my spools are sorted where I store them, using a gauge is usually enough to tell me if I can complete a print. I could see using it a lot of it integrated with Orca, and I could select what spool I was printing with from Orca, let it set the material temp/PA/Flow, then let the printer plugin do the weight calculations at print time. But as far as I know thats not possible. What specifically is everyone using it for? Just to know how much Panchroma Matte Black PLA you have left?

   At least you got a response. I ordered 2 rolls of filament a few months ago. Only 1 roll showed up. i took pics and emails customer service.. and never got a response.

   The most common reason for issues like this is wet filament. Look up how to dry your filament on this sub (or anywhere else), there's a few ways to do it. Personally I have a dedicated filament drier, but there are other cheaper options too. When the you're printing, can you hear any faint sizzling/popping sounds from the hot end? You probably will be able to, that's the moisture in your filament turning to steam and causing the issues you're seeing.
