Does anyone have access to a 3d printer that can do a 12 inch or bigger print? I need something made up for work, it would be 9" by at least 12, 16 would be great, 20 even better. I can easily provide an autocad file. Thanks

Marsupial Ape posted:That痴 cool. I am a tinkerer (and worrier) so I love taking apart my printer and putting it back together. Should you decide to get a CR-Touch or equivalent, it is a very simple up grade. The motherboard already has a pin slot for it and there are mounting holes already in the carriage. Flashing the new firmware is super easy. Honestly, I spend the most time on snaking that new wire through the goddam mesh sleeve. I like tinkering with my cars and guns but with 3d printers they're basically a tool. I don't want to spend time making my wrench better, I just want to be able to pick it up and turn a bolt. I don't think people are wrong for liking working on 3d printers, that just isn't me. I just got a job offer for a job that will pay 10-15k more per year so I decided to celebrate by ordering a mk3s+ kit.

Got 3D printers stuck in my head again. Basically perused r/3dprinting and YouTube and came down to these printers I'm interested in. Fokoos Odin-5 F3 Anycubic Kobra Kingroon KP3S 3.0 The Fokoos looks fairly solid. Has most of the features I would want out of the box, but my only negative is that it's a glass bed and not quite what I want. The Kobra seems like a really strong option but the hotend seems to be a point of contention for a lot of people as there's no known drop in replacement if I wanted to go all metal. The Kingroon is the cheapest out of the bunch but has a lot of compromises for the low price and I'm still not convinced running a lot of current through a barrel jack is a good idea but people seem to love it. I'm also aware the Elegoo Neptune 3 is being shipped out to people who have preordered and that also sounds interesting but I think the strain gauge feature is not something I would like given people's issues with the Anycubic Vyper using the same function. Anyone use either of those printers and could share their impressions of their use with it?

Next dumb question - I did read the OP and checked out the US filament suppliers, but am curious if the Elegoo filament pre-order would be worth a shot? (5 kilo/5 color $70) Have they sold filamen5t before, or is this a new thing and quality will be  ?Differently dumb question - if I have something to be printed, and want to have details printed in a different color, would it be possible to not remove the main part from the bed, purge the original color, and then print just those details with the new color? Would "continuing" the print off the already-printed part (and the location data already loaded) be doable, without needing to try and re-home (re-level, I guess?) the print head? (All the videos I've been watching show one-and-done prints, or making separate fiddly-bit prints to be glued on, so i suspect not.)

Creality machines are the default for a reason, they池e cheap and will work (after some fiddling) and have extensive aftermarket support. If someone was talking down to you about considering a Creality then the only options they壇 accept would be ponying up for a Prusa or building your own Voron/CoreXY. If you池e okay with fiddling with the machine and doing calibrations, creality machines (or even the clones like Biqu) are fine. If you want something that Just Works out of the box, you池e going to have to pay way more.

How hard would it be to build a shell for a gameboy (or say a PSP) with a transparent resin? I imagine you should be able to get some decent strength out of thing's if you use the right blend of engineering resin. Then just tint it with some inks or whatever.

It is possible to load a different color filament in part way through a print and have everything from that layer on up be a different color. If you're talking about finishing, I dunno, a head, and then going back and doing the eyes or something then basically no. Since everything is done in layers, trying to go back like that would just have your print head and supporting structure bash in to the previously printed piece and, if lucky, just knock it off the bed. I think there are some multi-color print heads that can swap from one color to another at certain spots, but that's pretty high end printer stuff from what little I looked in to it.

(One of the videos that I only watched a little bit of was demo'ing some new two-spool (and feed/hotend assembly, I'd assume) that could switch colors (reels) on the fly, or at least without having to purge/reset the feed, but it was some kind of prerelease demo job and didn't seem cheap or n00b-friendly.) (Watched more stuff showing off lost-wax/PLA casting, which is certainly not a beginner process but makes awesomely neat poo poo. "Oh, this weird-rear end skull headpiece looks fukken sweet. How hard is it?" <watches video to end> "Yeah, I think not. Hard on the carpet, and the landlord would scream...")

Most printers are a solved issue, so 99% of problems you have with them are brand agnostic, and they've all got similar print quality. Creality is just a known quantity. When you start talking about the 2020 bedflingers, you end up running into some really niche decisions by different manufacturers. And at that point, "I can't help you." That said, my ender has been essentially trouble free. I am quite angry at Monoprice, and the MPMD facebook group for the Mini Delta, but that's a long story. Yes, most of the problems people have with printers are brand agnostic. However, most of the answers, are ~straight up bad~. Often, even, answers from the manufacturers themselves. And now we're back to the original thing. When someone has an Ender, I "know" what they have, and if I tell them they need X.. the answer works. Especially if that thing is a printed accessory, or a certain bed/coating/whatever. "I" have no problems running ~kinda any~ printer. I don't care. They're just CNC machines. But I'm not about to try to ask here why my Geeetech i3 has zbanding that might as well be a zipper.

So just junked it out after many attempts to fix it. And after that experience it left a sour taste in my mouth with Mono as a brand. Yeah, that Mini Delta is where things went downhill. Back around 2014-2015 though the Maker Select V2 (not the Mini, the regular bed slinger) was a screaming deal for $200-250 (depending on coupons) because if you abused their warranty for replacement printers every few months you'd get upgrades to the machine because whoever actually built them for Monoprice was making design improvements every time the hobbyist community detailed an improvement that could be made on the Wiki for said printer. Simple things commonly recommended for Enders now like stiffer springs for the bed or better connections for the bed heater (& strain relief for said connection), etc. were included on the machine the last time I replaced it before the warranty ran out. The fact that it was one of the few i3s outside of Prusa at the time with 100% powder coated steel extrusion frames was a bonus (way more rigid than the acrylic frames people loved back then for some reason). EDIT: That reminds me I need to do a maintenance run on that thing and get it running again. It was a great PETG dedicated printer before I got distracted by the Prusa Mini.

But seriously, nobody is saying Creality is the creme de la creme, but it's a solid starting printer that will be a widely used and supported platform to cut your teeth on and thousands of people have solutions for anything you're likely to run into. It's like complaining about starter guitar recommendations. Everyone will have an opinion, but at the end of the day, it's just a cheap entry point that you don't waste a lot of money on if you find out you hate guitar. Having said that, the new Elegoo Neptune 3 is an Ender 3 clone that is MUCH better as far as features and quality for the $. It's the closest thing to It Just Works you're going to find for under $400.

I would get your argument if you were advocating something that works out of the box like a prusa but you seem content to recommend printers that come from brand new chinese startups with incomprehensible word salad names. They're better than they used to be but random chinese printers are still a minefield of dangerously stupid firmware, soldered crimp connectors and fake XT60s that'll burn your house down. The only difference with Creality is that there is a community of people who have wrestled the loving things into some degree of safety and reliability and will gladly post detailed instructions on how to do it. You don't get that with a TPUMBO Jizzblaster XL or whatever poo poo you ordered from aliexpress.

I find it so weird how there are literally 100 different options that all boil down to <$500 bedslinger ender clones with slight tweaks, and then basically nothing mass market until you get into the realm of the Prusa XL. I feel like there should be a It Just Works option with a larger print volume at the $1000 price point, but there just isn't.
