spoon daddy posted:For the past 6-7 years I've toyed with the idea of 3D printing(I've read this thread off and on since 2011/2012). I'm thinking of diving in for miniature, miniature stand printing, and other small item printing without spending too much and was delighted to see that Monoprice has a few options here. I had a few questions Mini V2 is a good printer for first 3d printer. I got it about 3 weeks ago and have had great results.

biracial bear for uncut posted:I will never understand the logic of buying a super cheap printer then spending more money upgrading it than you would have spent just saving up for a Prusa MK* to begin with. I think I already know the answer but is there really anything better than the MK3 around $750? Its a little bit higher price than I would like to go but seems worth it. Currently have the MP Mini v2 and love it but would like a bigger print bed and faster print times.

Anyone have a MK3 in here? I've been seeing a few things about the layers not quite aligning properly. I was probably going to pull the trigger on the kit later this month or next if everything is ironed out.

Can anyone that has a MK3 comment on the print quality. I preordered yesterday but it was before I found the thread where it seems 50% of people wish they would of gotten the mk2s since the print quality of the mk3 appears to have issues?

biracial bear for uncut posted:Given that print quality is mostly a function of slicer settings (with a mindful eye on the machine you're sending the resulting programs to), that's not really a valid criticism. This does not seem to be slicer based, seems to be the actual machine or firmware. People have tried basically all slicers and settings and still get issues. https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/general-discussion-announcements-and-releases-f61/-testers-needed-inconsistent-extrusion-t15433.html Was just hoping that someone who owns one could chime in. Its hard to see how widespread it might be when people who have perfectly fine prints usually don't post about it.

NeurosisHead posted:Do any of you use eSun PLA Pro and find that the ideal temperature is way higher than you expect? It seems to want to run at 225ish for me, and Hatchbox and Prusa PLAs run closer to 205. Yes, best filament I use. Hatchbox is 205, PLA Pro is 215 for me. Also their firetruck red is the best red.

I got my Ender 3 in. Built it and had quite a few issues I gradually fixed one by one (bed wobble and under extrusion mostly). Had I not had to fix my mini v2 a few times I am not sure I would have known what to look for. Now it is up and running and getting great prints but maybe not the best printer for a first timer for sure.

That Gobbo posted:I started with a Monoprice Select Mini and very quickly got an Ender 3 and wish I had just gone for the Ender 3 at the start honestly. It's a little more assembly and tinkering out of the box but I was able to get higher quality prints than the Select Mini really quickly. This. I had to fix a few things on my mini so I knew how to do it on the ender 3 but I could of just learned on the ender 3. I put a glass bed ($7 from lowes) and some dampers ($8 from amazon). Printed a few small upgrades and it has been great quite machine.

TwystNeko posted:I agree, the Palette 2 looks a lot better. I do wonder how much pre-video calibration they did. I'm going to restart the whole process from scratch, and see how it turns out. One of the things I want to try is using PVA as a support material. That to me is the bigger value of this kind of system. If I get this working well, I may drop the cash on the new one. $500 USD is not that bad. I wouldn't have paid for this version, though. $1000 is definitely too much. I went ahead and preordered Palette 2, will let you guys know how it is whenever it comes in. I print multiple colors a lot with a pause in between (coasters and such) and having it be able to do that for me would save a lot of time.

I assume the price per print on a da Vinci system would be pretty high since they DRM their filament for their 1 color systems. Does the Prusa MMU work on anything other than Prusa? I'm looking at $700 for 4 color printer with cheap per print filament ($200 ender 3 and $500 Pallette 2). Assuming it works as well as it seems to then that sounds pretty good to me.

Novo posted:I want to make my MK2 quieter and it seems like adding the TMC2130 drivers is the way to go. Trouble is, I haven't modified my printer before and I can't decide which would be easier: adding silent step sticks or trying to swap in an Einsy Rambo. I don't mind soldering and Arduino hacking but I'm not experienced enough to know exactly how to do this aside from reading blog and forum posts. These make a HUGE difference in noise. This is of course if you haven't already used dampers. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C7FRLNX/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There is also printing width settings for single extrusions in simplify. When I was printing a particularly finicky part I had to modify those up and down to get the fill correct.

MrDesaude posted:I require a file for this. There is much fuckery to spread! Here is the main one, this has the link if you want to generate your own custom size. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2410748 You manipulate the URL and change the numbers for sizes. eg. http://e.gg/puzzlebox.cgi/75/15/5/io you would change the 75 height number to 150 for double height, and the 15 to 20 if you wanted it wider. the I and O are inner outer as described in the main part description. You need scad to generate the STLs after the link creates the scad file. If you just want STLs to the huge rear end set this guy made them and posted STLs in his first comment. https://www.thingiverse.com/make:495845 Or I could generate smaller/custom ones if anyone wants, I have a set of double high 6 piece already generated.
