Bambu Lab issues recall of A1 printers over heatbed cable, proposing existing customers several options to resolve the issue
I haven't really expected much since this is the first time I've tried ASA, I just printed a simple flow test on my textured plate. If anything I expected it to fail. But oh my, does that stuff stick. I hope the plate can handle acetone because I've tried everything else I could think of....
I saw this guy on tv the other day and thought folks here would appreciate the fantastic work he does, and maybe even decide to do similar work for your local children's hospital/hospice?...
To achieve faster speed printing for functional and draft prints, I wanted to try a 1.0mm nozzle with my Neptune 3 Plus. This is the first time I replace a nozzle so I followed YouTube videos and replaced the nozzle. After replacing the nozzle I leveled the bed with manual + automatic leveling. The extruder seemed to be...

A luxury horse barn in Florida is primed to be the world's largest 3D-printed building.
Check out the build log, which I still have to finish up. Tldr, the Magic Phoenix kit is awesome. If you are thinking about a Voron, they are the way to go for that price. No one comes close....
Over on Mastodon - though obviously anyone anywhere can participate - there's a weekly monster-film watching event called #Monsterdon where we all watch a movie together and comment as it's running....
I love the YT channel Project Farm. It's unbiased, well thought out, practical, and numbers-focused (as much as a video can have without getting boring) approach is refreshing. Not every test is perfect, not every sample size appropriate, but this is a mechanical guy that knows his shit and is as curious about the results as the...
This is 3D printed with converted Prusa i3 using ongoing project called open5xPreprint article can be found in below link:https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.11426Git...
I have an ender 3 v2, upgraded the springs/leveling knobs, and slapped on an auto leveler. I do really enjoy the printer, but I've found between work and raising a toddler I just don't have the time to tinker like I thought I would. I assumed I would need to do general maintenance, but mostly be able to just print things fairly...
I went hunting for new bed surfaces the other day on AE (Ender 3 clone and Bambu X1C), and I veered off into other materials. That got me thinking about further possibilities....
If you do any kind of machining, 3D printing, or PCB layout, you probably have at least considered buying a pair of calipers. Old-fashioned ones had a dial and were mechanical devices, but lately, …
like the title says i have an ender 5 pro and the bed is being weird. when i autohome it it works fine. but when i print the bed just stays at the top of the travel on the z axis for about the first 5-7 layers and then it will drop by over half a turn on the z stepper motor. leading to a large gap that cant be printed on. im...
I like the thermal mass of glass for temperature stability, as I've found that's pretty key to getting good print adhesion. But I really wanted to try out PEI without having to stick a giant magnet directly to my heater plate, something I definitely did not trust....
Hey, bringing over some of my more technical content from reddit. This link goes to an article I wrote up describing testing I did of PHA filament, a carbon-extractive more-compostible-than-PLA filament that's harder to get than PLA but has a lot of interesting properties.
This is the most recent update on the open vertical-storage-system project I've been building out for several months. Think of it as gridfinity for walls....
Even with modern circuit-board-style 3D printer beds, they still have thermal momentum and the beds on lower-end printers might experience some temperature irregularities without being "broken" or otherwise fully out-of-spec....
I'm currently getting by with a mixture of Design Spark Mechanical, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD for prototyping/editing files, I'd love to find a good alternative that isn't from a predatory company like Autodesk
Hey all,...
Hello Fediverse printers, I am seeking help with my printer. When it's working, it prints everything with these weird lines....
