I'm someone who builds cloud infrastructure for a living. I only touch AWS (Amazon), but the same applies to Azure (Microsoft) and GCP (Google).

Kagi is private. Saying that they "rely" on Google because they use GCP is akin to saying that the US Army relies on General Motors because they use Hummers. It's just a provider. They're renting virtual machines, compute power, storage, and network bandwidth nothing more. You can use GCP/Azure/AWS without your data ever being visible by GCP/Azure/AWS. It's not because you use GCP that you have to use AdSense/Analytics/Fonts, etc. They are completely separate.

Politicians would have a field day with all the cloud providers if using one thing forced you to use everything.

It could be a case of too much cooling, while simultaneously being too much heat.

If you’re blowing so much air that the filament instantly solidifies when it leaves the nozzle, it’s not going to bond with anything else. It’s also interesting that the first layers are fine (when the part cooling fan is typically not running), but problems start when the part cooling fan turns on.

Have you tried without part cooling at all? Another thing is that your part cooling might be cooling down the tip of the nozzle, causing tiny partial clogs, which are cleared every so often by friction.

Did you notice a difference in print speed when you slowed down? As this is a small print, it could already be as slow as it will be due to minimum layer times.

It could also be that the nozzle spends too much close to the print. What happens if you print 2 or 3 of them?

This is typically more of an issue with PC where you don’t have a part cooling fan running, but maybe it’s the case here too?

Definitely doesn't sound like an issue with Tor Browser in Strict Mode. /s

The simple fact that buying a $300 device and to "not expect software updates" is not considered a scam is hilarious to me.

Interesting that the extra 10° makes such a difference for ASA and ABS.

I recently started printing with ASA in my enclosed MK4. I might have to try this.

Could you explain what you mean by “full commercial use”?

I would model the part myself, print it myself and check for fit and function. Once the part design and tolerances confirmed, I would then either use a local or remote shop.

Xometry.eu (no affiliation, never used them) appears to be in Europe and outsources to local shops. They have plastic and metal SLS, CNC, sheet metal, and everything else as possibilities. https://xometry.eu/en/direct-metal-laser-sintering/

Another option is to use the Chinese PCB shops. PCBWay has amazing abilities these days: https://www.pcbway.com/rapid-prototyping/manufacture/?type=3&reffercode=TOP

Had this happen to me as well this week after a few months of not using Fusion 360.

Turns out it’s a software update issue. Just close the app every time it fails, and eventually it will manage to update. I have an insanely fast internet connection, so maybe you need to keep it open for a while to download the updates.
