If I get a Sovol, do I want the optional 6 piece hardened steel nozzles?

kid sinister posted:If I get a Sovol, do I want the optional 6 piece hardened steel nozzles? No. Or at least, not yet. Steel nozzles are overkill for 99% of what you'll likely be printing And I'm assuming it's a range of different sizes which, while cool, I'd suggest not messing around with until you've got a bit more printing under your belt. Even then, a 0.2 and a 0.6 will pretty much set you up for everything you could ever want to do (I'm assuming this is your first printer)

You don't need hardened steel nozzles right away, but I would recommend having a spare nozzle or two on hand in case you gently caress one up. They're cheap, even the good ones (not the ones made of diamond, if you need one of those you know why you want one), and relatively easy to gently caress up given they're the business end of the printer.

The ruby ones are the ones that are really easy to destroy. The diamond ones can survive a head crash. Bozzle is a good compromise cost/durability/performance, it's expensive but tungsten carbide so it's rugged. It's 0.5 but with Arachne it should still print fine details well. And best of all it has a neat internal geometry that helps increase it's volumetric flow capabilities.

Bozzle is a 0.5mm tungsten carbide nozzle, here's a link to one vendor: https://www.fabreeko.com/products/bozzle-0-5mm-full-tungsten-carbide-nozzle-by-rentable-socks Head crash is the nozzle hitting either a print or the bed, ruby nozzles tend to shatter if it's the latter.

kid sinister posted:Tungsten carbide??? Speaking of drill bits... Good thermal conductivity (steel's biggest problem) and excellent abrasion resistance. Lower barrier of entry and not made out of a (arguably very durable and strong) chunk of carbon that can shatter if you drop it like the diamondbacks. They'll still abrade after a ton of filament.

Alright, I ordered the Sovol SV07. I like that wifi feature. That will help with where I decide to put the drat thing. What do I need to know before I order filament?

Buy PLA Don't gently caress with PETG or ABS or anything else until you're more well-versed in what printing entails PLA+ or PLA Pro are both fine, though, if you need a bit of extra strength I love Polymaker, but they're normally $25 a spool rather than the 'standard' $20, so if you're on a budget go for SunLu or Overture or something

Microcenter if you have one nearby. IIIDMAX is US based too and hits the sweet spot for cheap and decent filament.

Due to my print bed being very crooked I've been using some duct tape under it to even it out. According to klipper this worked well, but I've been fighting bed adhesion issues, layer lines, all kinds of problems for weeks now, which all magically dissapeared once I took it off  Suddenly it's all printing beautifully again, with barely any issues. I'm still learning lots, but man am I glad when I can just press butan and get good print.

And eventually they take over everywhere you go and you end up with little fleets of the things.  Finally got around to swapping the mobo on my e3S1P to get a usable printer out of it without klipper. Printed a blob instead of a benchy overnight, so I need to clean the build plate and level it.

The Microcenter in-house brand "Inland" has been very reliable for me: https://www.microcenter.com/product/611549/inland-175mm-pla-3d-printer-filament-10-kg-(22-lbs)-spool-true-red All kinds of colors, nice standard quality, good price.

I'm not convinced Bozzles are real. They're always out of stock and rumored to return "just next week" every week somehow. But there are volcano TC nozzles out there you can actually buy so no big deal.

One thing I definitely noticed when I swapped from the standard brass to the Diamondback nozzle on my Prusa is that no filament really sticks to the nozzle anymore. No layer of hot melted filament to occasionally clean off the nozzle, not that it was particularly a pain in the rear end to clean the standard nozzle off.

It just occurred to me that I've probably got hundreds of hours on my old brass .4mm nozzle. It blows my mind what's available now.

I got petg blobs on my normal brass nozzle, went to a PTFE coated CHT clone and it fixed the blob problem but had an oozing/stringing thing that felt inherent to the design. I'm running nickle plated copper now for high thermal conductivity and no petg blobs.

Thinking back to the time that my company bought one of those 3D Systems printers that used a RFID coded printer cartridge full of generic PLA and then never had the cartridges in stock anyways.

If you buy filament from Bambu, it has an RFID tag that automatically sets the color and material when you put it in the AMS, which saves you maybe 15 seconds of just inputting it yourself It's a cute feature, and the filament itself is good, but at least for PLA it's not really worth the $25 compared to $17 for Inland refills or $12/spool for a 10-pack of IIIDMAX

You don't get quite as clean of a surface finish with IIIDMAX compared to some "premium" filaments. It's nice having a bit of each depending on what you're printing  Also as someone who owns a MK3S+, MK4 and X1C I don't think I can realistically recommend the mk4 for a couple different reasons. Mostly the lack of modernization that most the bambu printers have, slow file transfer speeds and price point are all extremely strained with bambu in the mix now.

At one point, I just brought my own home 3d printer in so we could have parts for a demo.
