I just figured out how to cancel a single part on the build plate during printing with Klipper! Totally revolutionary! Any other crazy Klipper tricks you folks use I might not know about?

Sockser posted:Is the mk3 worth twice as much as a Neptune? Sockser posted:Probably not, but it’s still a much much better machine. Have you used both? I borrowed a friend's MK3S+ out of curiosity and, side-by-side with my Neptune 3 Plus (which is the same as the Pro aside from fan turn-off when idle and the bigger bed) and I really disagree with the idea that it's a much better machine, in 2023, than the budget-to-mid stuff. Elegoo could get away with significantly pricing up their newest gen of FDM machines, I think, and people would pay for it. At sub-$250, it is an absolute steal. The MK3S+ is absolutely better than my Sovol SV06, but not by very much, and it's hard to see any reasons to consider it 3x-to-4x-the-money better. It pains me to say this because Bambu seems to really suck as a company (love too have chuds in US support/customer relations!), but a P1P is a better buy than a Prusa right now if you want to spend more than $350 or so. tracecomplete fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Mar 28, 2023 |

I accidently melted my duct on my ender, and i can't remember what remix of a remix i printed for it, so I looked into the Hero Me ecosystem. I printed the base, the adaptor, the front part cooling fan mount, and the bltouch mount, and OH MY GOD this thing is stupid in its design and attachment. I ended up not even using the bltouch because it doesnt git anywhere, my old original metal part ended up fitting and hacking its way on. This thing is huge, no cabler management, and i refuse to pay $3 to figure out how he wants these 300 parts to fit together. I know he wants it because once you pay that $3 and see how it fits and what it looks like, you end your desire for it. Sooo, what is the simple dual duct hotness? Stock hotend fan, single 5015 part cooler, bltouch. its so simple it almost doesn't exist. I cobbled this thing together enough to print its replacement, or i can do it on the voron but im balls deep into tuning and testing

I have an all metal hotend and a bl-touch, and some yellow springs lying around. What else should I consider? Direct drive maybe? Dedicated big nozzle printer for organizers and boxes and such? Metal extruder (if you don't go full direct drive) because all plastic extruders exist only to eventually do this:

I printed the Hero Me Gen 5 and it was ok, it wasn't great, but it checked all my boxes. The 7 is somehow even worse and relies on like a freefloating hotend mount that melts at PETG temps...when printed with PETG. Worked fine with PLA at PLA temps though, strangely enough. I currently have the Gen 7 main stuff and I just have the hotend stuck to the original mount, since it's still accessible and within height tolerance. I'm thinking of designing my own thing so I can shove a superpinda somewhere close to the nozzle so I can probe nearly the whole bed. Might see if someone else has beaten me too it.

Bondematt posted:I printed the Hero Me Gen 5 and it was ok, it wasn't great, but it checked all my boxes. Gen 7 requires you to heatset the main base to the ender backer, then heatset the ducts to the base (or preadd screws and nuts, Then mount the backer, then put the hotend through the top (thermistor and heater wires just free float i guess) and then screw the hot end through the fax shroud to the ender base and the actual printer. Then you can attach the base to the printer in the 2 usual spots. And you can also print a button you can also heat set to attach the last free floating part of the base to some portion of the ender base. And the bl touch is laughable to fit. this sucks that I -need- this working to print on this printer. I had to redo all my offsets and z, and i kinda dont trust it. I will say the duct blows a hell of a lot of air at low speeds though. ..... which i guess i get to retune all my fan speed now ... *SIGH* I might get a friend to print it on his bamboo at lightning speed or ill just do it myself. There is something to be said about printers you can;t screw with so this doesnt happen

ZincBoy posted:I have found I need to turn up the bed temperature from the defaults to avoid corner lifting. At least with PETG that has been my experience. Once I went to 80C from 70C for PETG all of the warping issues went away. You just get warnings about the bed temp being higher than the tg of the plastic. Yeah I turn up the bed temperature to 60c for most PLA now to avoid any adhesion issues. Also 75 or 80c for PETG. Especially with PLA and the auxiliary fan on the X1C it has a tendency to try and curl. Or use brim and that usually prevents it, especially with 0 brim-object gap.

While I'm waiting for mine, has anyone in the thread grabbed one of the Bambu hotends that allows for swappable V6-ish* nozzles (and CHT nozzles)? (Aftermarket part, nothing official as of yet.) I do wonder how many of the aftermarket products Bambu is going to end up relaunching themselves over time/depending on popularity. (* Apparently standard V6 nozzles are like a mm too long, so the ones sold with the bambu aftermarket ones are slightly nonstandard to accommodate it, depending on seller.)

IIRC last time filament chat came up IIID got recommended as a cheap PLA+. Anything against them for ABS too? They dont have a huge range of colors, but a 6 pack for $99 ($16.5/kg) seems pretty good.insta posted:As someone who does the help tickets for Voron, please god build it stock first except at most canbus and umbilical. https://forum.vorondesign.com/threads/my-voron-ldo-trident-300.467/ ilkhan fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Mar 28, 2023 |

Is bed leveling and offset just impossible? Manually level, print concentric squares, everything’s flawless and even. Great. Actual print? Nozzle gets right up against the glass for part of it til it can’t even extrude. Just awful. What gives? Ended 3 Neo. Is it the stupid auto leveling thing? Can I shut that off and have it not try to compensate?

Every post about auto leveling I read makes me glad I do not have it. Just eyeballing it manually using the skirt lines takes me 90 seconds per nozzle change. idgi.

This is what I do as well, but my build plate is dished a tiny bit in the center and I have it shimmed with two pieces of tinfoil. Stuff like that you can never fix by tweaking the plate height wheels, but a probe can account for perfectly.

Did you know? Prusas either have PCB heatbeds so flat or automatic bed leveling so good, or both, that I have literally never thought about whether it's working correctly. The only adjustment you ever need to make is the initial layer offset tweaking, which never has to be reset if you don't swap out the build plate, and I have never had any cases of bed unleveling that weren't caused by a fleck of filament stuck underneath. I know that people still think that Prusas are a rip-off, but if so, you'd think that someone else could make an identically reliable machine for like 2/3 the price and eat their lunch. But nobody ever seems to do it. I do hope that when they make a Mk4, that it's a coreXY design. The Mk3S is a great machine but I think it pushes bed-flingers about as far as that configuration can go. Everything else should just stay the same.

I've never said prusas are a ripoff. I just didn't want to pony up for one since I don't mind dicking around with my ender. I mean I'm going to rebuild another one just for the hell of it here soon. I may get an X1 or something in a few months though, mostly to be able to print some higher temp materials.

New control board with metal enclosure / graphic LCD. Yeaaaah m I'm pretty unenthused. I like my prusa a lot, but it's going to be extremely hard to compete with the speed offered by corexy. Maybe if they can bring them price way down, but it just seems like such a dead end in multiple fronts to keep pushing bed slingers

Kalman posted:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3179892 Also thanks, got this printed and installed and its so drat simple. Also the fact they included slots to hold a nut so you can thread it in. The only issue so far is that the whole thing is held to the printer arm with one screw, as the ender3 vs v2 has it in a slightly different spot. The bltouch mount needs an odd length screw i don;t have, as 12mm is too short, 16mm is too long (i don't have 14mm) and i just ended up adding an extra hexnut as a washer using a longer screw. Adapt, overcome. All fixable for the moment but the offsets are SO much better then the herome. Seriously gently caress that guy

How well does 3D printing work for things that have to snap together? It can work fine as long as you design the item with 3d printing in mind. Like, a few vertical snaps printed such that the layer lines are across them will just break off. A raised edge on a whole part that's thick enough to handle the forces should be fine. There's also different materials to consider, for example, PLA is hard but brittle but commonly printed with and is more likely to break if it has a lot of force on it. If I wanted something to be more tough I'd look at PETG, ABS, or Nylon. You could also design it to just use a couple of screws or pins to keep it together.
