A new FEP usually has a protective layer to take off both sides. Ask me how I know. And you should be able to flick it and get a 'twang' sound.

I tried printing the friendly slug but I guess my printer needs some more tuning, his middle portion is fused together. Still cute though.

My first one did that, I got most but not all of the joints to break free but I really had to crank on it. When I started making them bigger, they were much easier to separate.

I was assembling my lack enclosure and dropped one of the top cabinet halves, shattering both corner parts where they meet the legs  I have them gluing, but I suspect it will be easier to reprint them, since it took out the peg on the rear crossbar too (20hrs  ).Ah well, it will be quicker the second time right?

I'm still tossing up between a 0.1 and a Switchwire as another machine, but I suspect the 0 will win out. There are serious considerations such as what pattern am I going to etch into the extrusion.

I am interested in building a Voron since I am somewhat knowledgeable about electronics and have had a couple of cheap printers in the past. My problem is that I have no practical use for another printer and it’d probably sit in my basement collecting dust after I print spool of filament worth of stuff off of thingiverse.

Has anyone here installed one of those ender extender kits? I'm thinking of getting one for big printing, but they're almost as expensive as another ender 3 so I'm wondering if anyone has first hand experience and knows what the potential downsides are.

And the fact I got pif parts so early Tuesday the rest of my parts arrive for my 2.4(300mm!) And I could probably see myself doing a v0 later. But after I print all the upgrades I want for the 2.4 I think I just need to order a heater pad, a printing surface , panels and a cable chain.

I have the parts and technical know how now to Build a rpi controlled servo for tilt/ pan to use a camera for the coral tpu ai to find my cat on top of the counter, track it, spin two rollers up to speed, and push a nerf dart into the path the tpu is extra, but it's real time vs 8fps I'm not telling my family I am going to also train it on their faces, So I can randomly select them from time to time.

Trip report: playing with speeds on the CHT nozzle. Slicer said a big Eevee would take 9 hrs, printer says 7.5. we'll see tomorrow who was right. I did a couple tiny benchmarks, but can't see a difference with the tweaks, I guess it's live and learn Lack enclosure is finished, but I still don't have a way to feed the filament yet, so just keeping the top popped.

The Legacy is a workhorse. As it's a thing I keep repeating, voron is a collection of best practices, and if you start treating ~all printers~ with the same philosophy, other printers work pretty loving well too. EG, my ender works so well.. I don't wanna retire it.

I just recently finished a voron 0.1 fork called 'TinyM', suggested by insta and it rips and is so nice to use compared to my ender and prusa mini. I did also bodge it to suit a bunch of parts I already had, end of roll filaments, etc, so its not even 100% true to the fork so didn't bother with the serial request.

Isometric Bacon posted:I can't speak for Ender 3 but I have a Prusa and had to put it together and I learned so much from that process that helped immensely the bunch of times I've had to pull it apart to fix things... Since it was my first printer If I'd inherited it or bought one fully built I'm not sure i'd be as confident pulling it to pieces, particularly as I'm not traditionally much of a DIY guy. Cool Dad posted:That seems like a good deal for all of that, with the exception that you won't be able to return it if it doesn't work or you don't like fiddling with your printer. If you're excited to tinker a lot and you're willing to take the risk, it's an excellent deal. Paradoxish posted:The price is okay, especially with the raspberry pi included. If you're buying this from someone in person, I'd inspect the machine very carefully. A well-built/maintained Ender 3 should be really reliable and pretty plug and play, but you don't want someone's mess that they've hacked together unless you're okay with tearing it down and rebuilding. For that much money, you should really be getting something that's ready to go since you can easily buy and fully upgrade an Ender 3v2 for much less than $360. Thanks for the advice, goons. I offered him $400 keeping in mind the hassle of setting it up vs getting a new one with warranty, which he was happy to accept, so going to pick it up tomorrow morning. Are there any immediately obvious physical red flags I should look out for when I go to pick it up? TBH I'm not going to go over it with a fine-tooth comb, but if there's anything obvious I could spot at a glance I might bail. I am a big tinkerer (spent this morning re-gluing and patching the bellows in an 80 year old field camera) so that aspect doesn't really bother me... though I'd by lying if I said I wasn't hoping for some hassle-free prints in the next week or two. It should be able to quickly pay for itself once I'm able to print a lensboard adapter and some plate holders for my new camera, and there are a lot of other things I've been keen to try out for some time. Had a question about setup: is moving the printer around between prints asking for grief? Debating on a couple different corners of the flat to store it, depending on whether it needs to be set in place or if I can move it out when needed.

I've literally picked up my ender by the top rail and carried it about while printing. Prusas are a bit more sensitive. You'll be fine. Just don't drop it.

CHT setting modifications seem to have worked on PLA? I'm totally shooting in the dark here. I basically made sure the MVS was set to 15 mm3/s and started making all the speeds much faster without changing any of the other 0.2 presets. all the base speeds went to 160 mm/s. external speed at 70% of that(112). bridging & gap fill to 80 I don't see any worse artifacts in the final print vs the default prusa settings. There's a bulge where it transitions from 31 mm/s to 16.7, but thats probably something that is related to heat from the faster stages dissipating too slow on that layer. The large eevee came out perfect.  I'll have to try PETG next and see how fast I can go on that.

A friend bought a size range, just to see how the 1.8mm nozzle went with 1.75 filament. I did swap my Voron back to a 0.4mm last night to reprint the afterburner fan shroud, as I just couldn't get the R and O insides to stick and I got sick of playing with it. Also swapped the Dragon over with a spare. For some reason I was getting jams mid heatbreak. Not clogs, just a piece of broken filament that wouldn't move until removed the nozzle, no matter which nozzle. I have come to appreciate the one hand changes on the Dragon and how easily the Afterburner comes apart.

Picked up the printer this morning  It seems to be something the guy spent a fair bit of time and care on, there are some nice touches like a couple of printed drawers for holding allen keys, spanners, nozzles, etc. I *think* I've got it back together (just the spool holder and display were disconnected) but haven't tried powering it on yet. It came with a Creality auto bed levelling sensor that doesn't look to have been installed yet; as a beginner would I better off leaving this alone, or is it likely to save me some headache starting out?

Ethics_Gradient posted:Picked up the printer this morning I would try to get it set up without it first. Watch some bed leveling videos on YouTube, try to get a decent first layer going the old fashioned way. Once you've got a handle on that, then if you want to add the bed level sensor so you can do visualizations and stuff. I think it's better to understand how things work without it before you mess with it, though. I'd it has an after market motherboard it might be weird to connect a Creality sensor too, as well.

Dang, I was planning on getting into the world of 3D printers and pick up a Prusa Mini if I can swing it on my next bonus but then I learned there's a new Ender 3 model out, the S1 which looks like is targeting the same pricing. It's nice to see more affordable and complete out of box experiences but man does it make decisions more difficult for me now.

insta posted:So how many active participants (all 10 of us) actually have Vorons? I've got 3, with 2 more in the pipeline. I wound up selling my Prusa mk3s and building a 350mm v2.4 (not from a formbot kit) to go with my v0.something (which was a v0.0 formbot kit with a few upgrades to bring it mostly up to v0.1 spec, but still with a mains bed, along with a bunch of other replacement parts to get rid of all the mediocre stuff that formbot included).  The 0.1 is due for some maintenance though, going to replace all the formbot bearings and upgrade to the 0.1 spec motors since right now it's slower than the 2.4 when printing if I don't want it to lose steps. Good printers, but they're only as good as the time and parts you put into them... cut corners and you'll wind up with a lot of the same problems enders have with their problems.

Hello 3d printing thread, I received a Phrozen Sonic Mini 4k for Christmas and being technologically inept it looks like I'm doing something wrong in the very first step. I'm trying to calibrate the z-axis using a sheet of paper, but no matter how much I press down on the build plate and tighten the screws, the paper keeps moving. Phrozen's blog suggest using the vat itself if the paper method keeps failing; has anyone tried this?

Why does Creality not simply clone the MK3S exactly? It would be a lovely move, but all the parts are up in their site for free download, and surely they could do it for much less than 750 dollars since they aren't spending any money on R&D. That would sure shut up all us Prusa people.

Licensing and having to give credit to someone outside the company. Also you can't build and sell MK3S's and sell them for profit with the licensing, I think.

But you can change it enough that it's not covered by the patent. Because shady companies do that all the time I say this as someone who has no idea what the prussa patent covers On another note, a neighbor wanted to get into printing and went with the ender 6/cr 10. I'm not intimately familiar with what is in it, but it seems like it has a lot of upgrade features that will bite him in the foot later. No idea what board is in it, but the touch screen prevents jyers, and I dunno about the auto leveling, etc May the odds forever be in his favor. At least he offered good beer to help him set it up and get it working

The person in charge of 3D printers at my Maker space would buy Prusa printers, but knockoff parts from AliExpress for maintenance. Regardless of the quality of parts, any kind of replacement would have a printer down for months as we waited for the slow boat to deliver instead of buying from Prusa. Extremely huge brain on that one.
