Same. I spun up a PieFed instance just for little ol’ me, but this drama is way beyond me

You’re welcome to take that to Chubby Emu, who cites his sources as well about how it spreads. I’ll take his well researched opinion over randos.

What a case of Hantavirus looks like

The Andes strain, which is what is being discussed, is indeed spreadable person to person.

Honestly I’d steer away from Elegoo nowadays. They’re not bad, but they’re hostile towards the open source community (It took a while to force them to release the code for the Centauri Carbon since they’re using a bastardized version of Klipper). I’ve only had Elegoo printers up until now, but I’d look elsewhere nowadays.

Ringing 100%. Need to do some Input Shaping tuning

Is that not what we were doing? I’m not disagreeing that it’s scummy that they’re installing unnecessary files, just speculating that’s it’s ineptitude rather than malicious. Hanlon’s Razor and all that. Considering the downvotes on my comment I may have misread your comment.

I imagine it’s more of a vibe-coded “make sure the end users have all the files they’ll need to be ready to go” prompt, and it’s Claude that “decided” to just have all the files from the get-go

I’d say both

Don’t let computers steal your imagination and creativity

Yup, changing out your extruder, even if to an identical one, changes the weight just enough to cause this. Input Shaping is indeed what you want to look for, it’ll be different depending on the printer. Some you have to adjust config files, some you can actually do in the slicer now.

I’d give OrcaSlicer a shot, it has some built-in tuning mechanisms

As long as the borders are printing you should be golden. Not something you’d want to to often of course, depending on the printer, since you might strain the hardware at the extreme edges
