I finally got a filament drying box and I’m using it prior to and during prints. It seems to be helping. I’m a bit of a color queen, so I keep a pretty big backlog of different filaments. I’ve been storing them in vacuum bags but the vacuum bags often seem to lose some of their vacuum after a few months; the whole process...
Hey, my printer recently stopped working saying the filament ran out even though it was still in for use. I checked the sensor and sure enough it was worn down, so I replaced it. But now I’m getting the same message even though I just replaced the sensor and all the wires are connected back to the sensor and printer. If it...
Does anyone have any tips or tools to help with managing slicer profiles using inheritance? I primarily use SuperSlicer but have been dabbling with Orca Slicer recently....
First I’d like to say thanks to everyone for looking at these posts and trying to help, and sorry to anyone who may be annoyed. Trust me, I’m not happy either....
Anyone have any idea what might cause this sort of issue on PLA? I run into it frequently, but pretty much only when all of the following points are true:...
Hi all. This is an update to this post. I don’t know what else the community can do to help, but I figured I’d throw some more content up there and give something bored people to look at....
**EDIT: In the interest of full disclosure, I had a filament break about 1/3 through, but that’s okay because the partial PLA print was nowhere near strong enough along the layer lines. There are plenty of decent 3D printed keyboards out there that just need some assembly and post-processing, so if this one doesn’t work...
The printer is a Voron 2.4, the extruder is a StealthBurner, and the hot end itself is a Rapido MK1. I’m printing Polymaker ASA on a spool that hasn’t given me any grief thus far (I last printed with it a few days ago) and am slicing with Orca Slicer....
Quick and dirty 5 minutes craft: Draw a rough shape, define the contact surfaces & load, click run, and get the optimized shape. The last step is converting the output to a printable shape and running one more simulation to double-check it is strong enough....
This is a custom wall mount for my 2nd screen Dell P2417H (simmilar models with same stand will fit as well). It’s a 24" monitor with pivot stand (can adjust up/down, portrait/landscape and tilt), but it doesnt suppport vesa mount (edit: this is wrong, it does support vesa, but then cant use pivot mechanism). I wanted it on...
The other reason is because I got the Kobo Clara 2e to make a e-reader case for it, which I did. And now I don’t need it any more, but I’d like a stand in for it just in case, I need to test fit and finish....
