Marshal Prolapse posted:Thanks! I’ll get some video of early printing. Does your printer support babystepping, that is, adjusting the z level offset while printing? It looks to me like it's just pooping out filament that isn't anywhere near the bed. I'm betting that after that benchy, you turned off the printer. I suspect it isn't storing the z-level changes you made between restarts. Check what the z-level is and make sure it's what you had before. Is anything wobbly? There shouldn't be any play in the wheels, they should be just loose enough to move smoothly. Make sure the hot end is tightly secured to the print head, make sure the print head isn't wobbling on it's rail.

Unfortunately it doesn’t support baby stepping. I even tried .00 and .10 and got the same results even after leveling before hand. Also I hadn’t turned the unit off, although I’ll freely admit it does have issues with saving defaults. Now wheels I’m not sure about. I did stick a piece of packing material on one end to fix the whole unit from being imbalanced (ie like a non leveled chair).

That's how my ender 3 v2 was at least, should try and get another firmware fork on it eventually to resolve that.

If you feel ballsy I did find a custom firmware with some cursory googling. I have no idea if it has babystepping or if it will make your machine explode or whatever. The ideal is to compile your own firmware, but this might be an easier option for the weird printer you bought. https://www.reddit.com/r/Creality/comments/ub68t7/psa_theres_custom_firmware_for_the_cr10_smart/

No I haven’t tried a negative one or if I can but I’ll check it out. I will say benchy did work at .10 fwiw. We don’t have a 3D printer discord do we? I was thinking that’s a way to show what I’m doing so people (very kindly) offering me a lot of feedback, can see exactly what’s going on and I’m doing.

going to reiterate this:Doctor Zero posted:If you take a video of the first minute or two of printing, it would help a LOT. We need to see what your first layers look like, and what your bed looks like. take a close up shot of the nozzle and the trace going down, as close as your phone can focus, as it puts down the first layer. showing us the blobby aftermath doesn't help. need to see what is happening in the moment. also, AlexDeGruven posted:A, there are no mirrors. B, I mean in a general sense. I run mine in the garage, and generally don't look at it at all once it's running. this is super stupid. laser labs are eye-protection-at-all-times zones because in the off chance that something drops into the beam and scatters the light into the room, it's already too late for you to do anything about it. it only takes one quick flash from a specular reflection to cause permanent eye damage. fun reminder for you: your retina has no pain-sensing nerves. people who have been hit in the eye with a powerful infrared (i.e. invisible) laser have reported that experience was a gentle "pop" from an undefinable location inside their face, followed by a dark spot in the middle of their vision. the pop was determined later to be the intraocular fluid flash-boiling. your laser is visible, but you may have the same eye-popping experience to look forward to. put the laser in a box.

The custom Marlin firmware is full of gremlins and is unwise IMO. It prints, but it's weird. I'm out of town for a couple weeks, but afterwards I might try to build something for the CR-10 Smart (because I have a FLSUN V400 on order and now they are kind-of-disposable printers). tracecomplete fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Oct 10, 2022 |

Let’s see if I can get a nice benchy (or any benchy) to print at .15 mm I’ll also try and get some video of the first part. Anyone know how I can upload video, besides YouTube? I also took out the SD card to see if that effects anything in terms of defaults (granted it will still be a cloud print). I can still move the Z unit, but I’m not sure how much that can be done during a print. I’ve never tried it.

You updated the firmware on the Creality Wifi Box board inside of the machine, not the LCD or the mainboard. The Wifi Box, by all accounts (I say because I immediately pulled it out of both of mine), sucks poo through a tube. Lighting up your USB port and using Octoprint works great, though.

It’s now showing the .13 version as Creality didn’t have the .14 on the site.  Anyway I’m redoing the auto level and I’ll see where it goes. I absolutely want to use Octiprint the moment I get the gremlins out and can do two successful prints in a row without needing to stop. Thanks for helping me, despite me being an idiot.

Are you guys that bought Neptune 3s still generally happy with them? Someone I know was asking about a <$400 printer to use in his workshop (he mostly does woodworking), and I was thinking about recommending one.

An absolute YES, but also recommend they update the firmware to 1.0.4. I was getting phantom thermal runaways on one of them until I did that. It’s also good because it fixes the issues with level mesh not being saved and they now set the z offset to .10 AFTER leveling. I never have to adjust it anymore.

I really appreciate it, honestly I’m kind of tempted to just throw in the towel and use the return money to just get some terrain. It stinks, but it’s just incredibly frustrating, since the unit, was supposed to bypass a lot of the crap from earlier attempts/models.

Someone I know was asking about a <$400 printer to use in his workshop (he mostly does woodworking), and I was thinking about recommending one. Speaking of cheap printers... I just caved in and pre-ordered the new Sovol SV06. If you can still snag one right this second, they're $200 for the first 200 units. Then $239, I think? for the next 500, and regular retail of $299 after that. They've taken an awful lot of design cues from the proper Prusa i3 (and by that, I mean copied it) on this one, and I wasn't going to do it because I just got done getting rid of a bunch of printers, but here we are. No idea when they're shipping out but I'll share my experience with it whenever it gets here.

Just checked looks like I am on Jyers 1.3.2 which was released on... May 2021. It has been good but I would imagine things have improved since then. Jyers released a v2 recently These look like top contenders? https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1 https://github.com/Jyers/Marlin/releases/tag/v2.0.1

I went from ye olden Jyers to mriscoc on all of my machines and I've been really happy. That said, it's hard to make much of an informed analysis when I went from "everything is working fine" to "everything is working fine." I like the UI, though.

So apparently if you get an open box…just replace the nozzle, don’t even bother cleaning it or anything. Just nuke it from orbit.  Seems to be printing fine now.  Also if it really was just the nozzle I feel like a complete, but happy, idiot. I’m doing a new benchy and I’m interested in how it will turn out. Also compared to earlier models the switching of a nozzle was pretty painless and not something I’d be bothered by doing frequently. Of course the goal is two good prints in a row still….so fingers crossed. Edit:     Now to try for the mythical second successful print.
