To start, your z offset is too high, your nozzle isnt close enough to the bed. Your lines should not have gaps like that, gapping in your lines means the nozzle isnt close enough to the bed to “squish” the plastic outwards and join with the adjacent line. Im gonna go out on a limb and guess this print peels off the ned very easily, and as you pull it up and off it sprt of “splinters” a bit, parts of it “fall apart” right?
If you get your z offset right, the print should come off as 1 solid piece without gapping.
Quick question:
If you run it the same time, are the failings in the exact same spots, or different spots?
Exact same spots
Bed issues, or physical issues perhaps with the wire harness to your heater catching or stretching, causing hiccups. Watch as it prints the problem areas for physical issues like it bumping stuff, or scraping on things, the wire harness, etc.
Almost same spots but not exact same
Flow issues, lower print speed 20%, see if it improves a bunch. Your nozzle is backing up and then surging causing inconsistent pressure on long runs.
Different spots
Check your z offset and watch your spool as it spins, if your spool is catching everytime it turns, it’ll inflict random jerks on your nozzle. Also check tightness on your movement system, it might be loose and getting perked a bunch by pulling on the spool as it works through the filament.
But, how much cheaper is it to build, and how more or less impactful is it on the environment
Can it be installed places normal turbines physically cant? If so the comparison becomes pointless.
If its cheaper and easier to maintain and/or it can go places pther options can’t, then it becomes a valid solution.
The problem with power is also distribution. Sure, you can put big turbines in a spot but you also have to deliver that power out to a grid.
Many small turbines help solve distribution problems, the closer you can get the source to the target, the less expensive it is.
100W might be more than enough power for remote use cases, stations or small monitoring setups where they dont need a whole ass 3.4mw.
Think stuff like nature parks, powering an outhouse, or other basic amenities like just a couple lights at night.
Campsites, ranger fire monitoring stations, etc etc.
Spots where you could easily place 2-3 of these, and the area has poor sunlight due to location. Some regions get pretty poor solar power due to weather but really good wind.
