Now i’m curious. Was it just a lot of dust and dried Inc. or what else was in them?
Instructions unclear, I’ve given the whole printer a bath and now all it does is blow bubbles
I appreciate the info! I’ll be honest, I understand wiring and hardware but I get out of my depth once we start getting into firmware and software.
I’m thanking my lucky stars that Octoprint was as easy as it was. That being said, if that open source ams makes any progress, I might just reach out since it seems like klipper is the only thing it’ll work with. If you don’t mind, I may reach out when I get the courage up to give it a shot.
I appreciate your confidence in me, but I don’t think up for trying to learn how to deal with it. I don’t do well with troubleshooting firmware/software when things go tits up
Thank you!
I have a pi 4b running octoprint hooked up. Is there any advantage to going the klipper route?
In theory it shouldn’t mater if i use 4.2.2 firmware on the 4.2.7 board right?
After tuning my vref, the printer was missing steps still. I pulled the trigger and am swapping from the 4.2.2 to the 4.2.7 creality board to see if that resolves the issue.
While i was in there, I figured I’d put another z axis motor on there.
Do you guys have any recommendations on firmware or should I just stick with creality’s?
Thanks for the info! Maybe we’ll get there one day. I’d love a hand held ps2 lol
How powerful is the Pi 5? This would be awesome if I could get PS2 games on it
Good to hear! I pretty gave up on Sony ports after Helldivers ran like a potato, but maybe it was just that particular game
I wish they would have the specs ready to go when they announce these things. I don’t want to get all hyped just to find out my 1660s isn’t gonna have a chance in hell of running the game
That was my first thought. I thought it had maybe been 3 years
Now I want a "my grandchildren are still in my selfish sons huge balls" sock
Thank you for the tip! I just checked, it looks like it was disabled so that wasn’t my issue. I wonder why it was causing you issues though
It is PETG. That’s good to know. I’ve got a few more prints on the docket so switch to gyroid and see how that goes. Thanks for the tip!
I’ll have to go back and look at the slicer settings, but I can tell you the info is much faster than the wall just watching it go. Would you recommend upping the flow rate or my better to slow down the printhead speed?
Good call I’ll have to take a look. I wish I could’ve copied the profile from the Creality slicer into Prusa Slicer, but creality keeps crashing.
Thanks for the other tips. I’ve tried a cold pole with the last filament to see if we could get anything out of there and I think we should be good, but you never really know.
As far as the rest of it, it seems to be happening with every filament I slice in Prusa slicer.
This was a brand new filament I had opened from Micro Center, it’s just their generic inland filament and it looks like the humidity in my dry box is about 16% after running it through my dryer. Maybe it’s too dry lol.
To be honest, I didn’t think about replacing the nozzle that’s probably a good idea. I got this printer from an auction site used so I can only imagine it’s the original nozzle from who knows how long ago
Sorry for the potato quality picture. I really thought we were over this since I tune the vref, but I guess not.
Do you guys have any idea why my info would look like this but all the walls on the printer are fine? I assume if it was a clog nozzle it would be inconsistent.
I apologize if this isn’t the correct community ask, but i was hoping for a bit of help getting this frame cleaned up.
My wife and I picked this piece up today. There’s some water damage and i’m wondering what the best way to clean the fabric matting would be or if we should get it replaced.
For those curious it looks like the artist is Edward Aldrich. We think its an oil painting and from the date we’re guessing its from 97.
Thanks everyone!
P.S. I took a look through the community and the art here is amazing!
Thank you guys for pointing out the vref issue in my last post! I got it adjusted, and they were all fairly high so now they should be dialed in. While I was in there, I figured I should probably calibrate the extrusion steps as well.
I’ve got a couple larger projects coming down the pipeline. But if I can go off of this cube, I think I’ll be in good shape.
I left the print over the weekend and I came back to spaghetti. It looks like something, caused the printer to push the print off its base like it was a poorly leveled bed?
I still have to watch the camera footage to see what failed, but I hope you guys get a chuckle out of the spaghetti monster like I did.
Hi everyone!
I'm curious to know which slicer you guys use.
I've been using the Creality slicer, but it seems like it pretty consistently crashes, and I've tried Cura but the print seemed stringy despite using the same settings.
How are Orca or Prusa?
Does this hobby ever get easier or is it always like getting kicked in the nuts by Ronaldo?
Filament some how leaked up and burned on. I just don’t have it in me to keep tinkering. I just want to print
Is there any reason that little silver part of the extruder wouldn’t move and start clicking while printing when printing at 205 in PLA. It seems to turn just fine without any filament in there otherwise.
I cleaned out a nozzle clog, but is it possible there’s junk in the hot end stuck?
Resolution: Thanks for your help everyone! It ended up being a nozzle clog that I didn’t get all the way out. I ended up heating the printer up and doing the cool down trick. That seemed to work as a last ditch effort before buying a new nozzle.
Hi all! I was curious to see if anyone had any recommendations for an enclosure for the Ender V3 Neo. I found a few on Amazon, but they look like grow tents and wasn’t sure if that would work well. For a bit of context, it seems like an enclosure is a must have for ABS printing which is ultimately what I’m after.
Thanks everyone!
I recently picked up an Ender 3 V2 Neo at auction. All the pictures looks great, I was told it functioned, and I saw some pictures of it put together.
Long story short either they didn't include the bolts to mount the screen/gantry or kept them.
Does anyone know what screen bolts and gantry mounting bolts I need? Thanks in advance!
It looks like we have a couple perks, but is it going to be viable until the late game?
We loaded up the Hunter 170 today to see how she would sail when loaded down with camping gear in preparation for next weekend’s trip to the Apostle Islands.
My wife is still a bit nervous, but feeling much more confident after today. Please ignore the watering can. She wanted to put a bit more weight onboard just in case.
