I use clear Gorilla glue (the polyurethane stuff) for bonding large surface areas, but for almost everything else I use Starbond CA glues. They've got a few different grades from water thin to gap-filling thick :quagmire: that have done me pretty well for piecing together various printed... things.

I also keep a little squeezy bottle of acetone right next to me for when I inevitably glue myself to whatever I'm working on.

I know someone in here will get one of these.

Also, how long until Bambu releases their copy lol

I have a VCore 3.1 500, you know the most annoying thing about big printers?

There aren't as many models floating around to make use of that space. You would not be surprised at how few things there are on Printables that are impossible to print on any Prusa. I would love to try printing an entire chair with it, and I plan to. But I do kind of have to learn CAD software and design it from scratch.

Not that I'm really complaining. V Cores are like Vorons in that you only get one if you want to tinker more than you want to print.

I guarantee somewhere in his guide TeachingTech has left out some troubleshooting step, some critical bit of information, or is lying.

This is exactly why he's a problem. He's wildly inconsistent. You can't ~trust~ anything he publishes. If you need a list of reasons, I can probaly get you 10 or 20. But here is my last post on it.

Nerobro posted:

There are no good teaching tech videos.
*snip*
-------------

Why is Nero so anti Teaching Tech? Because he comes to insane conclusions on his reviews. Becuase he never shows the real pain points in any product. Becuase his tests, which appear to be polished and good, are never done more than once, and show no scientific rigor. Ever. Teaching Tech is dangerous, becuase his video titles are slick, and his video production is "right" for youtube. He gives the impression of being an expert, and he's SO FAR FROM it.

Because of things he's posted, I've lost 30 hours I can directly point at people watching his videos, and me needing to unfuck what he "taught" them.

How far from an expert is he? A few weeks ago he posed this video about how good PrusaSlicer was (or was it superslicer, I can't be bothered to look it up right now). Why does this matter? Because IT WAS NEW TO HIM. He bought his slicer years ago, built profiles, and NEVER LOOKED ANYWHERE ELSE. He never. looked. You can't be a good teacher if you don't know what's out there. You can't be well informed if you don't try other things from time to time. You can't be good, if you don't know what else is good.

How bad is he at testing? His test of "enclosure versus not" were single tests, and he did nothing to adjust the printers for printing in a hotter enviorment. ~litterally the thing that makes it better~ he didn't adjust for.

How bad is he at recomending modifications? He went for a long time working on upgrades to an ender 3. After hundreds of dollars of parts, the printer printed no better than it did before. Which shows so much wrong with what he's doing. And somehow, he still justified the parts he threw at it.

Teaching Tech, shouldn't be recommended. To anyone. Because so many of his answers are misleading, wrong, and have no followup so you're left wondering "what.. am I doing so wrong?"

Best of luck but also I think people make way too big a deal about it. I’ve printed a bunch of stuff in ASA, big flat things that should warp like crazy, with no enclosure and I only ever had problems when I left a bunch of doors open and had cold outside air blowing over it the whole print.

I mean, it SHOULD be fine. Anything that has a preset in the loading options I assume has at least been tested.

So far, it's coming out great.

Didn't get the two orange halves lined up perfectly and I needed to deburr the eye, but it still came out great.

Used a hell of a lot of supports for the orange pumpkin face, more than I had ever used. But it worked! And it's cute as hell :3:

I'll see your pumpkin cat and raise you two more.


Fresh from the printer, very minimal processing. Printed the black Sunday night and the orange last night after the filament showed up from Amazon (eSun PLA+ orange). Haven't used the .25mm nozzle before, so that was interesting on the orange. Used tree supports on the bodies, and brims on the orange, but no supports on the orange. The back on the 100% sized pumpkin broke off a bit, so that's reprinting. Otherwise, they came out pretty well. 25% infill on the cat bodies was probably too much, they are surprisingly heavy.

0.1mm from the .25mm nozzle.
Was like 12 hours for about 85g of material.

0.2mm layers and the 0.6mm high flow nozzle (its a Revo) would have been about 3.5 hours instead. But it wouldn't look as nice. :)

So I have a friend trying to print some statue he got the STL file for, but it all hosed up. He did not print it himself and does not have access to a printer now. He's based in Michigan, about halfway between Grand Rapids and Lansing and had basically given the file to his BiL to print, who printed it as a SOLID block using a resin printer, which my friend ate all the cost for.

BiL is.... a character. Doesn't take criticism, has some personality issues, etc, so he can't actually go back to the guy and say "hey this is all hosed up and looks bad." The mat underneath is in centimeters, to give a sense of scale. It big.


Anyone in that area able to help him out? I can pass along contact info. Thanks!

The kicker is his BiL made it out like he was cutting him a deal because my friend only had to pay for the print himself, and then the jug of resin that was used. Which is... Woof. :psyduck:

Is there anything I can do to improve this guy on my ender 3?



I'm having some skipping issues, and I'm wondering if it's just this thing being iffy. It's running a dragonfly bms and a .6 nozzle so I can't imagine flow is the issue.

Printing at 210 degrees at 100mm/s on klipper so maybe thats the issue? Maybe the Bowden setup?

Is the hobbed drive wheel clean? If it’s slipped in the past, the teeth can get clogged, which leads to more slippage, etc.

On a whim I took a stab at a mandolorian helmet off maker world, if only to use that as a baseline for my head and give this one to the kids

One was billed as 120% big size, printed all at once on the bambu plate, and was properly supported and it came out good drat amazing

Sure it needs some sanding and finish, but not much on the putter surfaces. Also most notably I browsed this on my phone while bored on a meeting, and remotely sent it to my printer from work.

I've seen like one worn drive wheel ever. So yeah, it can happen, but I've found it's very rare.

Another thing to check is loosening the tension. It's possible to have too much pressure in the drive causing excessive friction there. In extreme cases it can also distort the filament causing interference along the bowden tube as well as in the hot end itself.

The problem isn't the extruder. But you've not provided enough information to REALLY Be sure. We need to know the layer height, and plastic being used.

It's worth noting that the Dragonfly is only good for 20^3mm/s under ideal conditions. If you're printing at .5mm layer height, that's 30 cubic mm/s at 100mm/s linear speed.

Aurium posted:

This would be my first answer.

If it's a ~very well used~ ender, you could be in the middle of bowden failure.. so if you have spare tubing, install that.
