Found this place like 10 minutes from my house that produces recycled filament out of waste from I guess their large scale commercial prints and donations? Seems cool and I like both recycling and supporting local biz so I picked up a few different colors.

Test benchy printing now and looking quite nice.

I've been looking for a local recycled filament source. Please post a photo of your new tiny boat!

Are you ready for a rabbit hole?

Because once you look into this thing you’ll be gone for weeks.

So basically, it’s a fully enclosed high speed ABS printing machine lol

So start here

https://vorondesign.com/

Now, you can either self source all the parts yourself or buy a kit from the 3 or 4 companies that make them. Mine happens to be a Formbot kit, but LDO is another popular one, or you can press your luck with a random AliExpress kit.

There is a large large discord community that you need to be a part of if you want to get out of this rabbit hole. There’s a few Facebook groups too, as well as a small Reddit community, but really the discord community is where you’re gonna get all the answers you’re going to have, and there’s going to be questions lol I think there’s even a few discord mods on here as well.

Total build time to print time was approx 40ish hours for me and I’m hearing that’s a fairly common build time. To me it was fun, I had the whole week offa work and I basically worked on it everyday and loved it. There are seemingly endless mods for it and all kinda cool things for it.

I would not recommend this to anyone who has t already built or hasn’t worked on 3D printers before, def not a babies first 3D printer.

I bought it because I was tired of chopping up parts on my Prusa and because I like to build things.

I really wish the build time wasn't so stupid long on those, they seem really cool but I'm sick of tinkering with stuff to the point that if I get a job I'm interviewing for I might just buy one of the pre-assembled Prusas, either a mini or mk3s I don't know. All the fun has left printing for me ever since I have been struggling with upgrades and fixing warped beds rather than actually making stuff.

Re: dick chat

I helped print a metric fuckton of flexi-dicks for a friend for giveaways. From 70% up to 200%

I can share the STL, as they apparently were VERY popular. They do not like being printed in lovely silk pla though.

I'm either printing these in PETG or ASA, haven't decided yet.

Historically petf has sucked for flexi things because of the right tolerance between each print in place segment.

Any stringing would make it moot. The STL I have is 'realistic' and the individual shapes needed an especially tuned printer

Dual filament voron? Is that even a thing? Large volume, enclosed, all metal hot end, dual filament, high print quality is the end goal for a second printer for me. Voron checks 4 of those boxes. S1 pro is probably the first printer to start with and print parts for the second.

That sort of print can be done with a simple filament swap. Most vorons that do automatic filament swaps are using an Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder to do mmu stuff, so if you want to know what to look for.

Dang, that came out great. I'm sure you have a better printer than my Ender 3 but even so, that looks like consistent filament with few to no contaminants. Thanks for mentioning these folks!

Nah just a pause command put in the gcode to allow for a filament swap and then a resume. Worked perfectly though.

The ERCF is kinda like Prusa’s MMU2S system if I thinking correctly.

I know that the fanciest printers can utilize a variety of resin materials for different outcomes/applications. Do hobby level printers have access to a variety of resin types? Do filament printers have that kind of flexibility?

Is there a materials primer I could look at?

Any suggested places to get an ender 3 s1 pro that doesn't involve a 6 week lead time or $80 shipping charge?

Where are you located? Unless I'm missing something obvious on this page (which is entirely possible), it looks like Amazon US has at least a few in stock for immediate shipping:

https://www.amazon.com/Creality-Ender-S1-3D-220x220x270/dp/B09T5VNNTQ

Little bit of a Prime Tax on that one, of course, but there's also the convenience factor if you happen to need to ship it back to them for any reason.


It also looks like the "Creality 3D Official" site, which may or may not actually be official but is still perfectly legit, has some available with free shipping:

https://creality3dofficial.com/products/ender-3-s1-direct-drive-3d-printer

Can't really find any info for vendors outside the US though, everything wants to default to shipping here.

I moved my printer and now I can use it while NOT being hunched over because it isn't directly under the sloping roof. Also won't burn the house down any more if something happens, or at least not instantly. I'm not afraid any more to let it run through the night which finally allowed me to print a bigger slug. Like, 6 months after it was popular here?



Also this one is very awesome and I can highly recommend it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2738211



Here's my setup with very serious prints running, being able to stand in front of your printer is amazing.

If you follow the improved flexi rex page it takes you to his GitHub, which has separate stls for each segment in a top and bottom half to assemble it. It also allows you to print it HUGE.

I am currently printing the first half of just the head at 350%. Takes up the entire 300mm print bed, and the rest of the parts will scale up as well.

It's going to be huge and I'm finally able to print it. Just wish I used a bigger nozzle

So dumb noob question: does a silent mainboard really make that much of a difference? Sovol SV01 (basically an ender I think?) prints wonderfully so far but the whining of these motors whirring away is gonna drive me, and more importantly my fiancé, loving nuts.

Would move it to the basement but I kinda like being able to monitor it without setting up a nannycam

Wibla

It'll reduce the stepper noise, but the fans will still make a fair amount of noise.

Move it to the basement and/or put it on a paver with something that absorbs vibrations under the paver and it should be way less annoying.

Rexxed

Dis is amazing!

Yes, it reduces the stepper noise by a ton so that the fans end up being the loudest thing most of the time. It's a huge quality of life improvement if you're within earshot of your printers.
