You need to do the quality control nigga, if you bought a Chinese printer and haven't gone through and reviewed it, it may well be a fire hazard. Simple stuff like ferrules on connectors, big mistakes like not having thermal runaway protection enabled, fire safety with printers is a big deal and there are shitloads of resources that'll help you make sure your printer isn't a fucking tinderbox.

>>2683506
Yup, looks like a white or off-white fine grain foam, almost always with a backing/liner on one or both sides.

Bought more filament just so it can sit in a box for weeks now without me printing anything.

>>2683503
there is so much boardgame shit you can design and print. I finally made a market stack/container for Village. I print a lot of first player markers as the game provided ones are usually shit. Made a few card/deck boxes but generally I just use cardstock. Making custom meeple/resources like the bullets and bulldozers from 51st state. I could spend a year just going through my games and making and printing QoL shit for each.

>>2683519
And then you got to print and you have X color in Y filament but not in what you need? I've been loving ABS shit but I'm down to two rolls of black, some doll/skin peach and teal ASA. idk whether to get more white or just print a ton of mostly black shit to burn it out so I can switch back to PLA.

Thingiverse seems like a shithole lately, if I want to get paid nickles and dimes occasionally for my utility stls where should I designfag these days?

>>2683528
Printables, enter every contest with low effort remixes, earn free filament. Cults steals money from creators and bans you when you ask where your money is, so they're hot garbage. Thingiverse has always been garbage, the recent injection of effort did nothing to change that. Thangs also does contests, sort of, and their rewards program is generous.

>>2683528
>lately
it's been shit for like 4+ years now, ever since they did away with the old format, started jewing extra hard with advertising, and putting it on life support mode with next to no moderation/technical support.

Maybe a bit outside printing, but do any of y'all have any good learning resources on properly measuring out real world objects and converting them into models? I have a fairly odd shaped bracket that I'd like to replicate/modify.

Never used calipers before or anything, but it's more than a simple box, got curves and the like.

>>2683546
post pic. I measure and guess then print a 1.2mm silhouette or test cross section and adjust as needed. It's often 6 generations or more to refine, but I keep shit simple and quick to print until putting it all together.

The other method I know of is to take a pic with a ruler then basically trace the shit and scale it.

Just modify your printer to do ECM or EDM instead. Way cheaper. From what I’ve seen, you can make an EDM setup from an ender 3 with like $50 worth of stuff, including a scrap microwave oven transformer rewound to output 60-120V. If you’re in a 120VAC country I even saw some guy just using rectified mains, but that’s a bit too scary for me. The rest is just a high-power resistor (coil of nichrome in a bucket of water, or maybe a printer’s heated bed) and a high-power MOSFET with triggering MCU. Inductive methods look a little nicer.

>>2683771
>scrap microwave oven transformer
>I even saw some guy just using rectified mains, but that’s a bit too scary for me.
I promise the microwave oven transformer is much, much more dangerous than playing with mains voltage.
Don't play with microwave oven transformers.

>>2683771
Wait... Could you use a big fuckin laser for that? I just so happen to have access to a monstrously powerful laser laying around at my buddy's shop we haven't had a practical use for. It's big enough it would probably need at least a 240 line installed in the shop, no idea where he found it.

Or would a laser be too destructive/not as precise as ECM/EDM

>>2683782
That depends on the laser. CO2 doesn't produce the right wavelengths to cut metal.

>>2683784
Guess I'll have to give it a closer look, I don't really recall any details about it except that it's allegedly extremely strong and about the dimensions of a Pringles can but I think a bit longer.

It definitely feels like a tank in the best way. The only mayor negative about it so far was adjusting with machinist cube/angle being a bitch.

You cut out the old 2kV winding and replace it with a lower voltage winding. Ditch that paranoia.

>>2683782
While a pulsed laser (e.g. Nd:YAG, Nd:glass, erbium doped fibre, anything Q-switched) could provide the peak power for evaporating metal, a common 50W CO2 tube wouldn't really be able to touch metal. A higher-power one like is used industrially could cut sheet metal, but couldn't easily cut multiple cm, and wouldn't be able to carve out precise blind pockets. Regardless of laser type the focal length of a laser is quite limiting. Even if you can vary the focus of the laser as you go, it would be hard to get a precise depth. But it is definitely possible to connect mirrors on your gantry to pipe a large laser's beam to the mobile end of a 3D printer, which might be more than enough if you make it a 5/6-axis setup.
Try to find out what sort of laser it is.

EDM is famously precise though, a good setup can get single micron surfaces.

Yeah that's the video that taught me how cheap and easy it is to build. But his circuit is kinda shitty (200Ω pullup resistor for FET driving lmao), and unreasonably expensive. The cheap 60-120VDC PSU from a modified MOT or whatever makes it a lot cheaper. Using a length of nichrome wire in a bucket of water is cheaper than a custom resistor PCB.

I am planning to replace the hair stand on this little midna next to make it springy and somewhat akin to a bobblehead once the new board arrives though, so that will have to wait.

Well a certain someone (The Next Layer) accidentally released a video early, and we've now seen what Bambu is working on.
Exactly as predicted, it's a new, smaller, cheaper printer, the Bambu A1 Mini, and a new AMS specific to it. "Fast" bed-slinger, linear rails, bullshit nobody cares about, $469 with the new AMS. New AMS is adorable and I love it.

No it's probably marginally better, but I imagine it will be in the same speed class as a k3ps pro. Even if the bambu has an accelerometer for input shaping and the kingroon lacks it, it would still be cheaper to mod that into the kingroon.

>AMS
If I understand correctly, it's 4 seperate bowden "extruders" feeding into a single direct-drive extruder. That bowden extruder hardware seems pretty straightforward to replicate and nearly compatible with the kind of marlin configs used for a bowden multi-filament printer like the CRX, so I'm guessing the hard part is in the engineering of the hot end and its direct extruder. I assume it would be optimal to have an actuator to automatically open the gears on the extruder, both at the hot end and at each roll. What's prusa's system like in comparison?

Also not too fond of that mini AMS design, since it would be comparatively hard to install in a filament drying enclosure. Not that you'd be making large or otherwise slow prints with such a printer.

Retraction problem. Lower temps, faster travels, tune your retraction length, retraction speed, deretraction speed, the usual stuff to combat ooze. This is a small amount of ooze from the nozzle being deposited as it approaches the piece. Those bits of ooze stack on eachother, each one catching the next, causing these little structures that stick up and away from the part.

Looks like a fitting addition to their ecosystem and is probably work for normies, light prototyping and small show pieces. That said, it's still a locked down, tinkering somewhat discouraged. Pretty much what was expected.

>>2684406
They're trying to create an vertically integrated ecosystem so people buy a Bambu as their first printer, their second printer, they use the Bambu website for models and Gcode to print on their Bambu printer using BambuSlicer and Bambu filament, and they only ever know anything about Bambu machines and are left virtually incapable to switching to any other printer because the majority of what they know doesn't apply outside of the tight-knit Bambu ecosystem. Are you getting it now? Probably not, given your response to the word Applefag, I'm assuming you're an Applefag, you go to Steve Jobs grave the suckle his calcaneus because you just love spending money so much, you only ever bought Prusa before and now you'll only ever buy Bambu because Bambu is just so comfy in how you don't have to, or get to, think while you use it.

Got a CR-10s with
Microswiss All metal hotend +0.6 HS nozzle
Microswiss Direct Drive
Printed CF Nylon Stealthburner
Replaced stock board with a 2.2.1 Silent board
1x Garolite Bed
2x Creality brand Ultrabase knockoffs
1x Anycubic Ultrabase (from before they stopped selling parts for other printers)
Raspberry Pi 3B+ for octoprint
Creality Medium size tent enclosure

Unimportant mods:
CF Nylon Squash ball feet/Squash balls
2x 120mm fan mod for control box
Extensions for all wires to run the box outside the tent


Do you think $250-300 is too much to ask?

It runs reliably. I was mostly printing CF Nylon with it.
Then I have a Kywoo max:

Shitty 5015 Fan mod in nylon cause stock parts cooler was useless. (CF nylon wont melt)

Bed upgraded to Linear rails from linear rods.

Original Kywoo "ultrabase style" glass bed.
Magnetic smooth PEI bed on currently.
Upgraded to Kywoo all metal hotend
Upgraded to Kywoo dual gear extruder for the DD
TL Smoothers on the steppers
Again CF Nylon squash ball feet + balls
Raspberry Pi 3B+ with octoprint

Was thinking of asking $200-250 for this one.

I built it up to do better materials but only ever ran PLA through it.

I have an autistic urge of reverse engineering this fucker without the AMS and making a faux-A1 just for the fun of it.
Anyone who bought it? Any intricate/unique details of its construction or operation you can share? I assume the worst parts to replicate would be the pseudolidar, connecting the original nozzle to the board, and the bed levelling system, but since on this unit the lidar is mounted on the axis - Some assembly of Rubedo could be fit just fine in there for that one.
Also would like to hear some funny name suggestions for it.

Ok, so after digging for a bit the hotend assembly actually seems to just need to have the connector end snipped and it can fit into the CAN bus with no problem.
That leaves only the Rubedo assembly design and the bed levelling issue open.

Close, but unannealed HTPLA is crap compared to PLA+. Once annealed, the heat deflection temp for HTPLA goes up to about 100C at very similar material properties relative to PLA+. You could get similar results with non-HT PLA blends, but your results will probably vary. HTPLA is formulated to behave predictably through the annealing process.

Really, when did they talk about settings? Oh they didn't, because it's a shit-tier article.

>>2685398
Okay let's check ourselves. They don't actually talk about settings at all in the article, you're just assuming because you're a retard.
Open up PrusaSlicer, all default, you'll notice they ran them with the "FAST" preset. Open BambuStudio, all default, oh they ran the Bambu on the "NORMAL" preset.
Seems fair, right?
Choose a fast preset in Bambu Studio and the ETA is now less than the quoted time for the Prusa.
Switch PrusaSlicer to a normal preset instead of the stupid fast one and the ETA is 48 minutes now, who would've thought?

Sorry about your mental disability, sounds rough.

>>2685402
>Choose a fast preset in Bambu Studio and the ETA is now less than the quoted time for the Prusa.
And how does the quality compare with those settings? The comparison is speed at good quality, not at a slicer setting with a given name. And even with the "fast" MK4 vs the "normal" Bambu machines, the Bambu machines have problems that the MK4 does not (e.g. look at the profile of the smokestack).

>wowie zowie, these new printers sure are fast

Speed comparisons for models (the subject of the article) is for a given quality. Because sacrificing quality defeats the point of a nice looking model, which is to look nice. That MK4 Benchy is both faster and better. Which would you rather use for producing a large run of models that need to look good? Which do you think would take longer to produce those? This is a practical concern with actually using 3D printers for making things rather than making the machine go BRRRR.

It'd be better than writing your own article in defense of the one you didn't read. Of course, it'd be lacking, because it's a poorly written article with no substance that doesn't mention settings or the decisions made by the people who wrote it.

I have had an SR for a bit over a year after upgrading from a CR10.
It had been entirely trouble free for me during this time.
Almost every single print game out great, and most prints are much faster than with bedslingers. Also, no bed leveling is a blessing.
Good:
- Looks awesome, deltas are absolutely mesmerizing to watch
- No manual bed leveling (provided glass surface is very flat)
- Nowadays you can use klipper with the printer with that flsun pad thingy
- It's much faster than bed slingers
- Extremely quiet

Only real 'downsides' (read: compromises):
- No flexibles because not direct drive
- Relatively large for the print volume (its very tall)
- Print volume is round, and suits cylindrical prints better than square ones.
- Enclosure costs extra

Recently upgraded to an X1C only for the capability of engineering grade materials, direct drive (for flexibles) and the enclosure (although I believe nowadays FLSun has an enclosure for the SR). Very much missing how quiet this printer was. Fans were pretty quiet, and the only real noise it made were those of the extruder motor during retractions.
I would highly recommend the printer, it is very well build. If I needed a printer in that price range there is no doubt in my mind I would pick it again.

>>2685484
Do it, finish it anon.

>>2685251
Based.
I haven't ordered the AMS yet.
I just can't think of anything I'd do with it that'd warrant the extra time, extra waste, and potential headaches. Bambu printers seem bulletproof until you factor in rare AMS issues.

I got an upgraded ender 3 for cheap because its previous owner couldn't figure out what was wrong
Are the limit switch wires supposed to be resistive or something? I haven't been able to get a consistent continuity test through any of them, even the ones that seem to be working

>>2685491
But then I'd have to cut the filament, heat up the nozzle and extrude it out cause it won't come out if I pull it.

>>2685545
heat it up THEN pull it out, then when you feed in the new stuff just give it a manual push to flush out the last tiny bits of black.

Meaning what? How long does it take to print a Benchy (say)?

>>2685516
They should be normal wires. The switches themselves are normally-closed, so any break in the wire will make the printer think it’s at its limit. Look up to see what the symptoms of an unplugged limit switch is, I suspect the printer will throw fault codes.

If you flash a custom Marlin build, there’s an option to show limit switch positions as measured by the printer.

I assume you’re measuring continuity/resistance while the printer is off? The other method is to measure the voltage across the limit switch while the printer is on, which I think should be more reliable. Should be a solid 3.3V when the switch is pressed, and a flat 0V otherwise.

>>2685642
Yeah the wires were fucked. I was continuity testing the wires themselves after testing what the functionality of the limit switches was. Jury rigged up some wires with jumper wires and it's working now.

I'm that retard whose Ender 3's heatbed shat the bed (lol). The new heatbed is a month away.
I want to temprarily fix the bed by re-soldering on the wires (cut and stripped them). My issue is that I'm not getting enough heat into the pads to melt the old solder. I mean the entire thing is just a big-ass heatsink (PCB-heatbed) so I guess it's futile to try to heat up the pads with a 60 watt soldering iron.

Now, I do have a 300 watt bench top power supply (30v/10A). Would it be a stupid idea to heat the bed with that and then add some additional heat with my iron to melt the solder? What diameter cable would I need to apply 10 amps?

>>2685840
Pre-heating may help but honestly shouldn't even be necessary. What kind of tip do you have on that soldering iron? Going to want a fat chisel tip so you can get a large contact area and transfer a lot of heat very quickly. If you do need to pre-heat the board, less is more, don't try to heat it quickly and don't try to get it hot as fuck, bring it up slowly, even 100C will make a huge difference. Peak draw from the heated bed is 10A @ 24V, the original wires are the size you need if you want to apply 10A, but I wouldn't even bother. You could safely supply a much lower current and still get it to the temperature needed, would only need about 2A. More so I wouldn't bother because a heat gun or hot plate would be better options in my opinion.

Make sure you're making a proper heat bridge with fresh solder, directly apply solder to your iron as it is held against the old solder so there is kind of a solder drop bridging between the iron and the old solder on the bed. I mainly work on PCBs, but when I started I didn't really understand bridging and had trouble getting stuff to melt on even them. Bridge may not be the correct term, but I think I get my point across.

Dear Gentlemen,
I have a question, and it's my first time on this board, so please no bully.

I have a old car, which has a similar phone mount as pic related.
it's old, and it worked with old Nokia Phones, which nobody has any longer in any case, and even they were still on the market, they are obsolete.
So, instead, what I use is a MagSafe thing, which is attached through the vents.
My problem is that I now have "two" phone holders: the magsafe one, which is magnetic and goes into my iphone, and the old one for the old nokia phone.
I have no idea where to start, but my idea would be to 3d print something that I could plug into the old mount, and attach the magsafe mount to it.
Can anyone tell me where to even start, I have no idea what to do, but I got a lot of free time at hand
thank you

>>2685973
Good dog.

>>2686040
Are you European?

>Meaning what? How long does it take to print a Benchy (say)?
I don't print benchies or useless objects. I use my printer for functional parts.
However, compared to that CR10 I saw speed gains of up to 3x.

Just for you I have done a quick comparison as I still had cura on my machine.
If I slice an airduct/cooler shroud I designed (relatively tall, large part), I get:
9h41m with CR10S
4h29m with FLsun SR
2h10m with the X1C*

For a self designed leatherman wave holder (smaller part with more details and retractions, and support):
4h22m with CR10S
2h15m with FLsun SR
1h32m with the X1C*

For the open alpha headphone left cup + 1x baffle (so two parts 1 build plate):
8h14m with CR10S
3h26m with FLsun SR
1h32m with the X1C*

* Note that the print settings for the CR10 and SR are identical, for the X1C I use a different slicer with slightly different settings

You can download the slicer settings yourself from the FLSun website, and compare them to get an idea. Their default settings for speed and accel work pretty well. If anything holds back the speed, its the flow of the hotend, as the kinematics can go much faster I think. However, I have found the SR default speed out of the factory to be sufficient for most things.
