Ghostnuke posted:has anyone bought one of these prusa enclosures? thinking about grabbing one as my wife is always complaining about the noise. Have you tried setting it on a heavy paver stone? That extra mass goes a long ways towards damping out the resonance between the motor vibrations and a flimsy desk/table surface.

My Octopi has just dropped off the network 9 hours into a 10-hour print and even though I know it doesn't need network access to complete the print I'm experiencing levels of stress normally only faced by fighter pilots.

I don't know anybody that bothers with 3rd party enclosures that can speak to whether that thing will dampen the noise any more than popping the printer into a $20 popup greenhouse (the kind intended for single plants).

I'll be honest, the enclosure is a lot more likely to fly with the wife than me plopping some random chunk of cement on the buffet table. Is there anything similar that doesn't look like something I found in the alley?

Is there anything similar that doesn't look like something I found in the alley? It doesn't have to be cement. You could also get a big section of insulating foam board and put the printer on top of that (or trim it so that it sits neatly under the printer and picks it up off the table). The main thing is to put something between the big sound-channeling/amplifying table and the printer to interrupt the vibration flow without putting something that the printer mechanical bits can get caught on under it. You could almost put a folded blanket under it and get the same effect if the Y-axis wouldn't snag on it.

Prusa Mini+ finally ordered  should arrive sometime early next year.I was planning to get it last winter, but a bunch of poo poo was happening, and by summer I decided I might as well wait for november for the free shipping...joke's on me, they decided to do free shipping for everything except the Mini this year, I could have been printing cuttlefish for my daughter all fall. Excited to finally retire my MP Mini Delta and its terrible, terrible autocalibrator, though.

nth'ing the Home Depot paver stone for $4 being a huge boon to noise reduction. So much so I have to replace the wobbly table its all sitting on with something more solid. You can also print the tpu or similar thin feet or pop it on a big thick insulation block

Short answer: No (not if you run anything like a sanitize option during the washing cycle). ASA might be the only one reasonably easy to print that would hold up but even that would be iffy for long-term use.

biracial bear for uncut posted:Short answer: No (not if you run anything like a sanitize option during the washing cycle). Yeah, I wouldn't risk it for anything that's going to be taking any kind of load - even without a drying cycle they can hit 70 or 80 centigrade, plus also alkali, abrasive detergent and high pressure water being sprayed around. Maybe knock up a mould out of PLA (or TPU if you need it to be flexible to get the part out) and use it to make something out of epoxy?

welp, managed to crash my Mars Pro printing bed into the tank’s edge for the first time b/c i somehow knocked it badly out of tram without noticing. I start the print, turn around to do sth else and suddenly the z-column stepper is squealing horribly and I have to unplug the thing. god dammit. i haven’t had the heart to see if the LCD is broken, I didn’t install a screen protector because I haven’t needed one (until now maybe), but it looks like it caught the edge of the tank with the bed edge vs. the corner of the bed hitting the tank bottom+lcd and all i’ll have to do is file any gouging out of the edges of the bed/tank. guess it was bound to happen eventually, after a couple of beers even moreso

In my case, the first time it caught on the vat screws and this caused the plate to go diagonal and plow straight into the LCD destroying it. Even if your screen is ok I would definitely change out your FEP and filter your resin.

I got an Ender 3 last week and trying to level it is driving me crazy. I upgraded the springs which helped some but I cannot get the right middle (looking at the front) of the bed to level no matter what I adjust. If everything else is level, it is too high and blocks the extruder. If I adjust everything else to where it’s finally level, there’s no adhesion because nothing else is close enough to the extruder. Anyone had an issue like this where a specific part of the middle of the bed is higher than everything else?

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Sounds like it's a dented bed. It's an Ender 3, all the beds are dented, even the glass ones. Source: Neither the aluminum plate or glass plate are flat on my Ender 3 V2. At first I just dialed it in so the filament wasn't happy anywhere and let it rip. I ended up going over it with a straightedge and flashlight and put down tape on my magnet bed to try and even it out a bit, which helped a ton. Edit: Actually looking at it, the glass sheet is flat, but it just conforms to the aluminum bed. You should just be able to shim under the glass or under the older style bed if you have that. Masking tape works great, some people recommend aluminum foil, but I haven't had any uneven heat issues. Bondematt fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Nov 30, 2021 |

Good suggestions. I was just using the out of the box bed cover so I'll try the glass plate and then shim where necessary. This thing has just been a pain in the rear end already since it arrived. Broken SD slot lock, possibly dented bed, and metal for the base is ever so slightly warped on the front left so it doesn't sit flat and needs a shim.

I've got some fine hairy stringing problems, even with a direct drive extruder. I've calibrated my e-steps, and I've been futzing a lot with retraction distance and speed. Seems like the only real fix is 8mm distance at 100mm/sec speed, but that seems like a LOT for direct drive. Is there an equivalent of the Simplify3D guide for stringing but for Cura? I'm not sure how to implement some of the slicer settings it suggests.

Switch to PrusaSlicer and give the default profiles a shot (after doing the machine setup for whatever printer you are using). Seriously the filament profiles are really nice.

Ghostnuke posted:I was just thinking about maybe a chunk of a granite countertop off cut and those squashball feet Granite slab is good, but the furniture foam is an important part. It has to be something really squishy to absorb the vibration. The slabs are to aggregate or cancel small vibrations, and the foam nukes the large ones. Adding rigidity to the foam (as in squash balls) will transfer more energy to the table. Drape a cloth over the setup if foam or stone are ugly.
