3dprinting

When printing on my Ender 3 Max Neo (stock except for a PEI bed), the right side of the bed is always printing too close. I manually leveled the bed, and then I run the auto-leveling sequence. I also have it set to run auto-level before every print, and confirmed that it’s enabled using M420 S1 after the G29 in the opening...

Hi guys. Please check my previous post for any background questions, I don’t have it in me to go over everything again....

As I’m graduating college in a few weeks, I’ll be losing access to my university’s free printers and filament. I’m going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff....

I have recently obtained a friend’s old Formlabs Form 2 SLA printer. I I am an absolute beginner to printing, but I am pretty excited to get into it....

OK guys, I finally found what the issue is, or at least kind of where it’s coming from....

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...

I know it’s not a new problem, but I don’t know what I can or should do…...

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...

I’ve had access to a roommate’s 3D printer, but they’ll be moving away soon :(...

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....

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....

Hi everyone, I’m having constant clogging issues with my printer that sprung up out of nowhere. I’m running out of things to test....

I’m having a bit of a hard time with this, but I also acknowledge this is still relatively niche still....

Contemplating getting a K1 or K1C in the nearish future as it looks to be the most cost-effective core-XY platform that allows open-source firmware. All I’ve found are compensated reviews so far so, figured I’d see if anyone on Lemmy has a less biased experience....

On the bottom of my prints, there’s an area of underextrusion and I can’t figure out what’s causing it....

I just sent this email over to elegoo official, so either way I’ll update this post with their response for a community reference point:...

With 3D printers like the Open-5x or tool changers (e.g. Prusa XL) both, 5-axis simultaneous 3D-printing as well as hybrid manufacturing (additive followed up by subtractive), is more accessible than they ever were....

I think it’s finally time for a dryer box. Want something I can run filament out of directly to the printer. Right now considering space pi vs. Esun vs. Eibos. Ideally something I could run for just a little while before a print and during the print. Low noise also important. A decible chart for dryers would be nice if that...

On my ender 3 I have to turn the knobs on the bottom for leveling....

I’ve been using a rebranded Flashforge Adventurer 3 (it’s actually a Bresser Rex that I got 50% off at Aldi) and have been really happy with it. The build volume is a bit smallish, but for most of what I’m doing it’s fine....

I left a spool of eSun PLA+ beige in my Prusa MK4 with Prusa enclosure, which has sat idle since my last print about 6 weeks ago. The enclosure has a PTFE filament feed tube that runs the filament from the spool to the extruder....

I am using OrcaSlicer/BambuStudio with the P1P. Also, the hotend currently has hardened steel gears and a 0.8mm nozzle....

I am woking on making solar panel mounts for the roof rack of my nissan xterra from TPU, since it can take a beating. Does any one have any experience with 3d-printed TPU threads? And how much stress before it can take before a bolt rips out? Also should i use teflon thread seal so the a bolt won’t come loose?
