3dprinting

My resin printer was powered off with resin in the vat for about 7 months. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and I woke up to a successful print....

I’m getting increasingly frustrated trying to get my printer calibrated. I’ve done a bed calibration using screws_tilt_calculate, and that’s all nice and good. Got a bed mesh variance of 0.19mm which seems great....

Hey everyone....

I ran a selftest and the manual test and the X-axis keeps failing. I don’t know why....

so im a teen with not alot of money but i want to get into 3d printing, another community suggested the ender 3 original. it looks like a solid printer but who know im a noob after all. my budget is around 100$ or less. im looking into making mini figures and painting them or whatever nerdy thing i find. i know the budget is...

I’m looking at getting an airbrush kit for my prints and for my wife’s crafts. Can anyone recommend a good kit since I know nothing about it? All feedback appreciated.

Will be someone at the Formnext next week, or does someone want to ask/know something specific from the people who are gonna be there?

I got an Ender V3 S2 a month ago to build a darksaber for my kid for Halloween. Came out looking great. No complaints. I then did a couple of upgrades (bed springs, converted to direct drive, Klipper/Mainsail rather than stock firmware/UI) and it’s a lot easier to dial in bed tramming....

I’m looking to upgrade my Ender 3 Max Neo....

Hi everyone, I figured I have struggled with this enough over the past day and its time to consult the community. I’ve been running this same setup for about a month now with the only major change in that time being implementing the input shaping. Recently (last week) I have been unable to complete any prints because every...

Looking to maybe upgrade my kid’s creality cr6-se, so we can move into the more exotic materials....

Where do folks prefer to host their 3d models and designs? Do you use one site, or multiple?...

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....

I’m considering pulling the trigger on an X1C but the waste is a huge turn-off. I know there are options for purging to infill or a sacrificial object, but last I heard there’s still a considerable amount of purge/prime. Can someone who’s played with the settings tell me honestly how much progress has been made in reducing...

Finally got my hands on a Raspberry Pi 4. I installed MainsailOS and I followed this guide and got Klipper set up and running in a few hours....

So, mainly just a writing a PSA for any fellow printers out there using klipper with the octoeverywhere service. Updated both of my pi’s yesterday that run two printers. Tried to access both through octoverywhere today and neither would connect....

Does any of you have any experience with this? I’m looking at the Felfil Evo pellet extruder which seems like an acceptable option. One thing I don’t understand. Why are the shredder and spooler so ungodly expensive?...

Hey folks! Today I got my first spool of TPU. I was quite excited to replace the cap of a controller’s joystick. But now I am looking for ideas what to print next....

Due to reasons… I’ve “adopted” a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it’s way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it’s paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift....

Hi there,...

I am tidying and fixing up flaws in my model that informs plant maintenance....

What software do I need to use to create a 3D wireframe of an object such an imported stl?...

I’m currently printing a thing with black PLA and it might not be enough. Can I put black PETG in there when it runs out and continue like nothing happened? I’d adjust the nozzle temperature, of course.

I don’t print a ton, just an object here and there: like board game upgrades, etc....
