P1S doing it's thang: 19+ hours .12 layer height Grey plastic, white primer, graphite rub. Then a clear coat Roundboy fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Nov 1, 2023 |

Out of curiosity how long does a P1S take to go from "presses print" to "starts printing plastic"?

If you enable all the default checks and it needs to do a full map from a cold bed, less then 7 min If you are printing back to back and the bed level didn't change from its initial check, and it's already warm, it's less then 2, and most of that is to upload to the cloud and slowly download it to the printer Roundboy fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Nov 1, 2023 |

How do idex printers calibrate? I feel like having the hotends exactly aligned to each other would be a massive pain in the rear end. Or are they just beat out by toolchangers? I guess maybe cost is better on Idex?

3dxtech ezPC (and ezPC+cf) is amazing and more available in the US than the basf/prusa stuff.

NewFatMike posted:Ooh that’s very good to know! I was already recommending them, all the more reason to. Yeah the all-metal hot end and direct drive was what made me choose it - and also choose to get back into 3D printing at all. (I first got into 3D printing as an intern using the makerbot replicator 2 - what a piece of poo poo it was). So I think it is technically possible to print nylon with the SV06, but it sounds like I'd need an enclosure and ventilation for it to be even approaching a good idea. I think I'll take the advice of this thread and stay away.

w00tmonger posted:How do idex printers calibrate? I feel like having the hotends exactly aligned to each other would be a massive pain in the rear end. I don’t own one but when I looked into it you had to do a calibration print to make sure the heads were aligned with each other. It does sound like a pain in the butt, but they are considerably cheaper than tool changers, you can get an idex printer for ~$500 but I haven’t seen a tool changer under $2k.

MatterHackers pretty consistently have BASF materials, Printed Solid for PrusamentPC blend if you’re ever looking for em. I may just be lucky and not been shopping for my usual stuff when it’s out of stock. I’ll check out 3DXTech. They pretty consistently seem like they have what I need, but I never got around to checking them out. Thanks for the rec!

(I first got into 3D printing as an intern using the makerbot replicator 2 - what a piece of poo poo it was). That’s about the long and short of it. The thermistor problem is honestly the biggest barrier for a lot of folks. People trust that 300C rating on off the shelf printers, but it’s not reliably reporting those high temperatures. A buddy has to maintain his super specialized nylon printing machine only once every year or two but it’s a massive pain because there’s no quantity supplier and custom firmware limits you pretty hard. There’s pretty good substitutes out there. Unless you’re doing combat robotics or weird chemical stuff I don’t think most folks are gonna miss it.

Oh and snolabs, their pccf is cheap ($55/kg is cheap for pccf) but suspiciously easy to print, it's rigid and tough but likely not as heat resistant. So depending on your needs it may be good enough. deimos fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Nov 1, 2023 |

Each style.. kinda.. does it differently. And yes, it's a pain in the rear end. If you're making structural things, idex is ideal. Have one loaded with your support or boundry material, then print the rest in your expensive filament. You get perfect undersides, and you get the parts you need without much fuss. If you need more than two filaments, the world gets a lot weirder. You're ether color changing, which is simple with one hot end, or you need to look at a tool switcher. Which... really means prusa xl at this point.

I just pulled the trigger on a 5 head so I'm invested at this point both in $$$ and soon to be time(Delivers on Monday 6th!) so I did a look around to get a feel for how things were going and I'm generally hearing that stringing is still an issue that mostly seems to be related to tool head changing and lifting but that Prusa is also making regular firmware updates and slicer updates which are resolving issues and adding functionality. My conclusion is that the hardware is rock solid and the software is mediocre and improving. Accurate? Numinous fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Nov 1, 2023 |

 What is this effect called and what do I need to be looking for? It's Overture PETG on a smooth sheet w/ plenty of glue. First layer goes down fantastic. These are 2nd/third layers at 0.10mm detail. Still Creality Print because the Prusaslicer profile I found for the K1 did much worse with this filament. I run my K1 at 200m/s max print speeds versus 300m/s, but it only hits like 50-60ms on these little parts anyway. Otherwise, 240 degrees at the nozzle and 80 on the bed. But like half of them are fine, the other half have the weird, layer lines start lifting up bullshit, so I'm just at a loss Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Nov 1, 2023 |

NewFatMike posted:The short answer is that your Sovol SV06 cannot print nylon. I'm printing Taulman 645 on a (pretty heavily) modified ender 3 pro. (New mobo, hotend, enclosure, filament drier, etc). I have a roll of Polymaker PA6-GF but I haven't tried printing with it yet. In your experience what's a trickier nylon to print? I'd like to see if this Frankenstein ender is up to the challenge.

Is your filament dry? Are you printing from a dry box? I have the hardest time with petg if I don't dry it for at least 24 hours (at 65C), hopefully in a few weeks I'll have my filament storage sorted with a dedicated dehumidifier to keep it at 25%.

I'm guessing that question was directed at me - I have run it through a dryer overnight, but it does not live in a dry box when it's loaded. Only been exposed to outside air for about 48 hours at this point. Anyway I ran some cleaning filament through it, did 3 cold pulls, and the filament is coming out of the nozzle straight now so that seems like a good sign. Also limiting my print to one at a time to dial in specific issues because clearly 9 objects was too ambitious Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Nov 1, 2023 |

tater_salad posted:Fyi Sv06 is a an all metal ptfe free hotend. So no need to worry about ptfe melting. And or killing you because it's off gassing. It'll also do 300C at the nozzle right out of the box. High-temp filament capability was a huge part of their advertising when they released the 06 last year.

I printed one of my objects on the K1. It got halfway through then started doing the same thing. At this point I just have to assume that since I have a unit with the original extruder/hotend that they have finally gotten hosed up and I need to buy the upgraded extruder and hotend now

I've had a really hard time getting brims to separate well, especially on complex and small, round shapes. This time I'm trying a brim with a 0.2mm brim-object gap (default is 0.1mm).

I've recently noticed that my print quality on my Prusa Mini+ has plummeted, with a massive amount of blobby stringing and loss of quality. Considering I haven't changed anything about my prints lately, including settings, material, etc, since I got the printer a year ago, but did recently move house. So Im pretty sure it's moisture in the PLA and so am looking for a dryer (I don't want to put it in the oven, even though I know technically that can work. What's the best dryer on the market these days? Considering a Sunlu S1 or S2, any thoughts on those?

Even if you’re not printing abrasives they’ll wear out eventually and lead to that kind of symptom.

Finally got my Sovol sv06 set up and sliced using combos of prusaslicer, ultimaker cura, and the sovol cura program. Using GST3D army green filament, I ran a calibration cube, seemed great! Ran a few small items, they were great! I figured it was time to try a larger item. Then the failures started happening. I figured maybe it was the placement of the items, so I reoriented the items, added brims, increased the supports, and eventually reduced the number of items on the board from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1, but all that occurred were multiple failures. Some had the print fully lift off the bed, others got tangled. I redid the board leveling & Z probing after letting the machine stay heated fire an hour and still received issues with the prints. I opted at last for a bench and it started out well but as soon as it hit the little steering wheel it went way off the rails and failed (at least it stuck to the bed this time). I got pissed and decided to go online and discovered there was a firmware update. So I followed the instructions and bricked my machine after the machine failed to flash. Turns out the machines also hate cards larger than 8gb! Which means all of my current cards are useless since the next step is to try to flash it with a different card, so I'm waiting on a delivery and until that item arrives this printer is dead. What a fun first day
