Something I recently designed - a tiny boat for letting spider plant babies root while they are floating on your garden pond, in your aquarium or in a bowl in your living room.

The boat can be printed standing on its stern and doesnt need any supports then (due to the tear drop shape of the hole), and only like a single gram worth of Cura lightning infill.

The plate that came with my ender is badly worn and i am replacing for a replacement. I see G10 plates being shilled which in my case would cost 11 euros. Is there anything against getting it or are the dual sided ones all over amazon better? I just print PLA.

Is there a way to increase the fps of the p1s camera to something usable? Like it seems like it's using 1080 or 720, is there a way to decrease the resolution and increase the fps to 240 or 360p at 30fps?

g10 is a fun plate material if you have really solid bed heating, and don't mind having it turned on the entire print.
enclosures are for sure suggested.

Bambu makes amazing printers! Microcenter filament is expensive but it prints very nicely picrel.

>>2885875
I exclusively use G10(actually FR4 to be precise) due to being a cheapskate.
>Pro
Cheap, works good with PLA, great with PETG, good with ABS, doesn't rip itself apart when PETG decides to stick a tad too well.
>Contra
Inductive probe goes to shit, needs some clamps to stay on your plate, no textures.
I regret nothing.

>>2885902
>>2885903
Cute, but just for the memes; You can make regular benches float as well by using high infill on bottom and low fill on higher levels. There's several guides out there explaining the slicing magic of that gimmick.

>>2885924
In Bambu Handy/Studio just look for HO Train and you can find all sorts of shit. I'm sure other market places have it but I haven't bothered to look yet. When I get an AMS for my P1S, one of the things I'll be printing is HO scale things. What exactly are you looking for?

>>2885951
It was the model that came with the printer and it came with the wind up thing to clip to the back. I got the printer at microcenter yesterday. Drove 4 hours to get the deal, $449 for the P1S, they didn't have any AMS left sadly. Been printing non-stop since I got it home. It's such an amazing printer. Completely blown away by it. So glad I didn't go with the mk4s. I'm sure it would have been fun to put together like adult Lego. But this was totally brainless. I took it out of the box and started printing. I have made no setting changes whatsoever. We have come very far with 3d printing. I'm printing a dice tower that I've used on my ender 6, it took 27 hours on the ender 6, Bambu Handy says it's going to take 11 hours, with 7 hours left.

I tried the hairspray because fuck it, why not, I can always wash it off. Went with the Kenra 25, did a very light coat (light enough to basically instantly dry) before the last 3 prints. It didn't hurt adhesion, and it seems like it helped release the prints from the bed after it cooled. I'll do a heavier coat (enough I can actually see some liquid) before my next couple. I'm printing PLA on textured PEI, so I don't need it, but a release agent that doesn't hinder adhesion is neat, and I want to do a couple test runs before I deal with anything that might stick too much, like PETG.

>>2885959
If you need hairspray for PLA on a textured sheet, sell your printer and never touch one again. Ever.

>>2885959
I mean it bro. You need to learn how to level your bed and get a good first layer. You should be embarrassed to use hair spray and glue sticks for PLA. Clean your bed. Stop touching it with your nasty grimey hands. PLA sticks to everything. It's the easiest possible filament to use. I've printed on mirrors, textured sheets, etc and PLA was hard to remove. I'm blown away by how many people that don't know the very basics of 3d printing then refuse to learn and do stupid shit like using some glue to hold PLA down. Absolute psychotic behavior. I'm not trying to gatekeep here but please learn how to print.

>If you need hairspray for PLA on a textured sheet

Found the guys doing SLA next to their desk without any ventilation.

Y'all get so triggered by hairspray. I don't need the hairspray. I'm not using it because I need it for PLA. My bed is level. I've never had a print fail because of adhesion, the closest I've come has been a lifted corner on some Gridfinity thing. I wipe the bed with alcohol as needed.
I'm interested in trying an adhesive because I've heard horror stories about PETG ruining beds PEI beds, and people using some kind of adhesive as a sacrificial layer to prevent damage to the bed. I went with these hairsprays because my mom worked for a vendor before she died, so now I have a bunch of cans of hairspray, which, coincidentally, is used by some people as a 3d printing adhesive.

>>2885952
For someone else to do all the work according to my desires but with no compensation from me.

>>2885974
Because hair spray contains cyanoacrylates, and you're heating it up which releases it in base forms of the gases and it separates into cyanide and acrylic. You're inhaling cyanide. Fucking moron.

>>2886005
A little cyanide is fine

Going to get a resin printer, at this stage it's gonna be the upgraded saturn 4 ultra when it comes out with the heated vat.

I've got a couple locations in mind, 1 of which is the garage, other is my ensuite bathroom which has a door and small window which will then make it easy to run a tube for ventilation from the exhaust port to the window. But it's not a huge bathroom so the whole process may be a pita there while being initially more convenient. Garage has no windows but a big gap under the backdoor which I've been meaning to block off anyway and can make an exhaust plate there or up in the corner where there seems to be gaps to outside I could ventilate a hose/tube too etc.

For garage I might wanna make a small tent for it though just to protect it from paint dust when I use my compressor etc.. hmm..

>>2885974

If you have a fan in said bathroom, that's the perfect room for it. I got out of sla printing from the rashes. I'm now allergic to resin. I wasn't when I started but now, I can't be anywhere near it. It was like within 2 years. It's head to toe. It burns and itches. I have to be careful of what I touch now. My throat will close up. I wore PPE when handling it. I printed out in my shed. The gases it releases into the air itself that got into my clothing was enough to fuck my whole world up. Please, get yourself a full body plastic suit when handling it.

>>2886009
Laundry only has a door to the outside with no window or opening so not an option. Loungeroom is very large and has convenient small windows near power points, can even put it all in a drop sheet tent but still vent directly from the printer exhaust or vent both even.

>>2886013
Yeah it came with the printer and the files were on the sd card. They include random things for projects. It legitimately brought out the kid in me and I'm turning 41 this month lol.

>>2886014
I do and I can hear it on but honestly it's too slow and probably not as it is new i barely feel any airflow from it at all. Where ever I'm going to put it I'm going to make active ventilation directly from the exhaust port at minimum and keep some kind of negative pressure in the printer to have vocs flow to the exhaust only. Probably a rectangle tent made from drop sheet plastic to contain everything and exhaust that too, basically a fume cupboards. I'm not going to bathe myself in vocs while wearing a mask - I already have p2a2 mask which I should probably use more when spray painting in the garage.

I plan to make the actual air around the workspace where ever I put it clean. I just need to figure out which air quality meter is enough for testing baseline before and after and make whatever adjustments are needed.

Are you sure you didn't get the resin on your skin a lot or in your clothes in contact with your skin?

>>2886015
I wouldn't put an sla printer into anywhere you have other stuff. The resin will offgas and the smell gets into everything. It's incredibly strong. It also leaves this film on every surface. It's nasty shit. You want it in it's own dedicated work space where you don't give a fuck about anything being in that room. It's nasty and messy and you'll become allergic to it in a very short amount of time. Good luck, enjoy it I guess. What's your address? I'll send you a free sla printer and wash station. I can't be anywhere near resin.

>>2886017
Yeah just have a plan and you'll be fine. Treat it like a commercial toxic product and you'll be fine because that's what it is essentially. Imagine going to work for a company that has to follow OSHA standards. Go contact one that handles resin. They'll tell you to get a paint suit or something. Trust me, you don't want to be allergic to it. The quality parts are mind bendingly good. Chinese manufacturers don't care about your health. I do. I care a great deal. I have no brand loyalty. Just please be careful friend. You only have one life and one body, so please take care of it.

This is why I'll never get an sla printer. YouTube influencers play with all sorts of toxic shit. Mercury, radioactive materials, resin, lead, etc all for fucking views and money. They leave out the important aspect, your fucking health. One 3d printer dude got asa poisoning from fdm printing. I print PLA in an enclosed printer far away from my living space in it's own room. I'll wear a respirator when entering said room. I got light headed and felt disconnected from my body early on with my ender 3. I felt like I was separated from God and had these strange nightmares of burning in hell. Turns out, plastic fumes aren't good for the human brain. This is the greatest hobby I've ever had, but we really need to take health seriously.

>>2886020
That should work fine. It's an industrial product that carries serious health risks. Please treat it as such moving forward.

Inhaling fumes from melted plastic can potentially lead to neurological effects, including cognitive impairment, headaches, dizziness, and memory problems, due to the release of toxic chemicals like bisphenols, phthalates, and styrene, which can cross the blood-brain barrier and disrupt brain function when inhaled in significant amounts. Sorry it's just the facts. Keep breathing them fumes bro. Breathe deep and often.

This has also warped in the garage which doesn't get up to typical warping temps, looks like PLA+ warps at lower temps than most people think, it's warped slowly over time from leaning against a wall even though it's rigid. Has 5 parallel wooden dowels running up and down it. But obviously they're flexible and allow warping because of that. Carbon fibre rods would have kept it straight probably but expensive.

Left some PETG-HS test prints out in the hot sun for a few days - no warping, it only warped under the dashboard in my car as a test.

Should be able to go to PETG-HS for props and have an improvement without needing to go all the way to ASA yet.

Has anyone tried Orca's draft shield to print ASA without an enclosure? Are ASA fumes an issue for a one-off not-too large prints?

>>2886056
No. It translates motor noise to the prints. It changes things like offsets and fucks everything up until you recalibrate everything.

>>2886101
If it's a 1 off print you'll be fine. Just put the printer in it's own room and print it you fall in love with asa. Have any cardboard boxes? Go to the store and ask for a couple of boxes, use some tape, and make a quick enclosure.

Glad you're having fun anon. If you design something neat that people download you can get some $40 gift cards but it's kinda slow unless youre model is mega popular. I just cashed out $40 gift card, and then used the $20 "sry4delay" code, to buy 4 PETG refills for $12 after shipping.
Got some nerf guns so printing mods. I had gotten a second AMS for my P1S a while back with gift cards but it's still in the box. Wanted to print the python or whatever for the AMS so I can combine both into a nice system of just having PLA and PETG on deck, 4 colors each.
Fusion360 and Onshape are the ways to go if you wanna model things yourself.
Unless you're buying models from others that are good and you're just printing them out, that works too.

Pretty much. Don't be afraid to use bolts when dealing with designs under load where you can't utilise print directions. See pic rel, as stupid simple as it can get.
Don't think too much about it. Design first, manufacturing later is a typical beginners mistake. As long as you're happy with the final product it's a good step. Use fillets and chamfers, i guess. Else it looks pretty straight forward.

A 2" thick granite reference plate. The thermal mass alone would give it unprecedented geometric stability.

Speaking of: I always used a powder coated textured PEI plate that always worked wonders with PLA. Today I wanted to get a better surface finish, so I decided to stick on the other side the adhesive smooth PEI sheet that came with the printer. PLA was sticking too much and after a couple of prints it started developing bubbles underneath: skill issue or did I just got chink'd?

I got about this far when I realized I had fucked up the coordinates for the CNC drilled holes on the 4x 800mm extrusions. So I bought a nice centre punch and HSS drills so I can drill some new holes. I also got some very nice Wera hex keys, because it was annoying to build with my old set of folding hex keys... The wers ones have a spring loaded ball bearing ball that retains the screw. Currently waiting for some M5x6mm screws because I must of misplaced a bag of them.. I also got a hand threading tap set coming for my cast aluminium machined bed. I opted to swap the 3mm thick polycarbonate panels used in the enclosure beta build for 2mm thick corten weathering steel plate. The polycarbonate+steel plates alone weigh over 25kg.. It's going to be a very heavy printer.

Hold your horses.. it's vibratite vc-3, it doesn't set like LocTite does. It's reusable, and dampens vibration. I selected it because you can loosen and re-tighten screws when squaring. Using regular thread lock when doing blind joints would be dumb.

If you have radius gauges, probably not very long, and I'm bad at CAD. Measure diameter, extrude up, measure curves along the sides, do a sketch from the side and draw the shape and extrude through, same thing from the other side for the face of it, another sketch on the face to get the line, and then round whatever edges you want.

meanwhile when a friends wife needs a replacement foot for the washing machine, shes upset that i printed it in dark red instead of black.
for a rear foot that no-one will ever see.
she had him take the foot off a few weeks later and the machine has rocked since, even got annoyed my mate offered to paint it black, and that i printed a new one in black, because she REALLY wanted the original foot, which isn't a thing anyone sells.

Yeah, primarily corten has a very nice rusty aesthetic. Secondly the added weight of the steel should make this ~900mm tall build less prone to walking when cranking speeds up and help with general stability since the Merc suffers a bit from being top heavy. Thirdly, it should add rigidity the frame, even tough it's probably not really needed.. I was going for aluminium sheets at first but steel was much cheaper than aluminium panels. My biggest worry is that steel and aluminiun has diffrent thermal expansion coefficients.

Finally giving this a go after having it for a while.. petg-hs @ 50c plate temp. Think this will solve the tall narrow prints and other prints with little surface area failing occasionally I do for some props

>>2886420
>steel was much cheaper than aluminium panels
What now, where? A 3mm alu plate is 65% of a standard 3mm corpen sheet here, or did you buy used en masse?
Personally i went with 3mm Dibond. Cheaper than both previous mentioned and with the thought of adding a two wall system like Doomcube for heat retention. Turns out, complete overkill. "Just" one wall is enough to bring the system to comfy ASA temperatures in less than 10 minutes while staying lukewarm outside.

>>2886425
Would appreciate if you'd report back in a month or two. Everyone seems to talk about how great these things are, but no one about how they're holding up longer term.

>>2886432
I also got the pro glacier too for other materials. Might try to get into abs pro over asa if I build an exhaust for the printer (for either anyway) and see if it will warp or not on big parts since abs pro is much cheaper.

ASA and PCTG need to become more ubiquitous

Even though the petg-hs warped under on dashboard in my car under the sun it didn't warp sitting outside in the sun for a few days so I think it's more warp safe in storage than pla/pla+ has been.. even 1 of my very large pieces warped slowly over many weeks in my garage leaning against a wall.. seems like pla warps very slowly at a low temperature still so might use petg-hs on my next prop build

If you're talking about the printers, my old boss at the makerspace where I worked has replaced our crop of prusas with x1cs because we bought one as a trial and it worked out extremely well for a year and a half under reasonably heavy use.
Granted, I think a big part of why he likes them is that there are fewer ways for students to fuck them up, but I also haven't gotten word of any huge maintenance problems.

Need some help, because I want to have things set up right, not just defaulting to the TB6600 specs because they will theoretically at least work. Long short I'm trying to use a big-boy stepper driver with Marlin, because I have a 3-phase stepper I'd like to use. It has step/dir (they call it pulse/dir) and cw/ccw inputs (controlled via a switch), and is specifically for driving a 3-phase stepper.

I'm trying to get the:

Minimum delay in ns before/after DIR
Minimum stepper driver pulse width in ns
Maximum stepping rate in hz

Picrel is from the driver manual. There is also a table that lists maximum pulse frequency as 500 Khz.

I think what I want for overrides is:

>Minimum delay in ns before/after DIR
5000 ns
>Minimum stepper driver pulse width in ns
1000 ns
>Maximum stepping rate in hz
500000 hz

Did I bone up reading that?

There is also an RS-232 port, that is apparently for tuning, but no instructions are given on how to use that. Anyone have experience with communicating to a device through serial when you don't know anything about the device?

If a tree falls during a print and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Also and ender 3v2 lads have suggested "mods"? I've added BLTouch. magnetic PEI bed and i'm looking at a printable "direct drive" bracket, chains and a little nozzle wiper.
I also printed picrel which was fine even though the tree fell.

I'm no Ender lad, but close enough. If you want the maximum amount of bling linear rails will save you from the POM wheel bane, but as many say it's lipstick on a pig. If you want additional cooling to push your speed up I can give you the CAD of pic related (once I finish redesigning it to be more compact and have more airflow towards the plate).

>>2886693
Nozzle wiper and printable direct drive, yes. But I wouldn't spend more than $20-30 dressing a pig up. What do you even mean by chains? Cable chains? Print them and don't buy them. If you're considering any expensive mods like linear rails or cast aluminium bed; don't. Buy a better printer instead.

>>2886693
If you do a printable direct drive and you're using stock parts (not sure why you wouldn't if you're going to printable route) get a reverse flow one where the fan sucks air over the heat break rather than pushing it that way there's less of a breeze over the nozzle and therefore the print causing less temperature fluctuation and warping. I was able to do plain nylon pretty easily on my unenclosed e3 with this, still required a brim and glue stick but otherwise it rarely warped any significant amount.

Since y'all are already fighting about it, what's the actual procedure like for swapping a print bed? I've got a Sovol SV06 Plus as my first printer, and with enough painters tape/polyimide tape/preheating time I've got it to within 0.05mm across the bed, but being able to get different print surfaces and not have to tape them/preheat for 30 minutes would be great. Does anyone make them for the SV06+ ready to go, or do I gotta buy a plate, drill it, and add the magnet layer myself?

Single side will be a hook, the block will be tapped and bolts come in through the other side past the slots in the shelving. I got sidetracked trying to make a bracket for my USB hub.

Still somewhat new to resin
Do different resins actually make a difference in terms of resolution quality alone? I make silicone molds of shit so I don’t give a fuck about the material properties of resin other than being able to get the finest detail possible. What’s the difference between “standard” resin and “super ultra fuckin 12k resolution hi speed lo drag ultra premium” resin? I assume the size of the particles floating around in resin are vastly smaller than even the smallest pixels on a printer so I don’t see how any resin could be different in terms of achievable resolution unless I’m missing something

This is the exact one I used
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3419531
I'm not well versed in fan theory but I never had a problem with heat creep just slapping on the stock fan in succ mode. I'm sure there is some advantage to the geometry of the shroud I posted vs the one you have for reverse flow, but I kinda doubt it really matters at this scale and purpose. Shouldn't hurt to just try flipping yours and seeing what happens
>I see some ppl posting that the satsana blows onto the hotend, I just want the air to hit where the filament exits, right?
No, you want the heat break fan to blow (or suck) across the heat brake only that way the part cooling fan has the actual control over cooling the filament. Trying to print warpy filaments like abs and nylon with a fan blowing over is just screwing yourself (which is why normally the part fan is turned off when doing those). Also like I said it helps not cool off the heat block and nozzle which helps keep temps higher and more stable. The flip side however is if you want to go fast with pla or pet, any extra air helps a lot in cooling the plastic quickly making higher speeds viable. Not as much as a directed air stream like with the part fan, but it still helps. Something to consider if you'll be doing more pla speed benchies than abs car parts.

>>2886533
>its 80 now

>>2886860
I don't think the duct is too much of a problem, in a way it balances the head, and I haven't noticed any banding. As I said, I'm redesigning it to be more compact.

>get some cc3d pla max
>also some cheap chink bed surface "dobstfy" brand for my printer, apply to glass because I have a 10 year old i3 with cracking plastic
holy shit it adheres too well, I can't remove parts without destroying them or disfiguring them
also I cannot remove support, it is too fused
coming from abs on glass, I want to print indoors now and don't want to deal with an enclosure so I'm switching to pla/petg
what do? cooler temps and just deal with slightly weaker parts?

You don't need to upgrade the rail: the duct is mounted on the Bosch profile with T-nuts. Well, in my case the crossbar already had two M5 tapped holes as it came with an auxiliary fan, but the whole thing was badly designed and the stock fan was as loud as a jet engine, hence my redesign.

got into foam darts and gel blasters recently
they're silly fun but wildly impractical. They jam in magazines because they tilt forward because of the angle, they don't get pushed into the flywheels enough for the motors to catch so they get stuck there.
So basically just front-loading half-dart shooters.
Which the $4 Sanic Shooter from walmart is and it's pretty good to be quite honest with you senpai.
But it doesn't have the gubbins to pierce boxes like my nexus pro x (a nice off-walmart's-shelf blaster but not milsim-grade).
also printed out a grappling hook tip too. It's rad and fun and I need to get some fishing line and affix a motor or something to the side of the sanic shooter
gel blasters are cool too. They're high on the fun meter, lower on the tactical feeling that single-shot foam springers give.

Good. Benchys have always been reddit tier, and thats why I have never printed one. Maybe something useful and less faggy looking will become the new standard.

Hello, I work for Bambu Labs and there was a leak of the H2D. There will be a cutdown version called the Q2Q and Q2V with the Q2V being the Q2Q with an enclosure. The Q2Q will be a skeleton with features cut and a single print head. This time, all the H2 and Q2 machines will use the same motherboard for the sake of simplicity. The cost of these machines will be 1200, 600, and 500 respectively. There's no plans as of yet for an A1 successor. All machines will have flow rate compensation. The Q2 machines will continue to use the 2 bit screens. The H2 and Q2 will use magnet drive systems instead of belts and stepper motors. This will greatly improve print quality, greatly reduce noise, and make it much much faster.

Round (fillet) the inside corners to relive stress points. You're going to have a hard time printing those tabs, make them separate parts that you attach with screws and threaded inserts. Print them laying on their side.

Just an extruder drive gear with two grub screws. Chances are it is slipping because of wear and tear, or the grub screws were over tightened and it stripped out. Ideally there should be a flat on the shaft is is mounted to for the screw(s) to bite onto, but cheap chinese printers are cheap.

And I'm not upset, I'm just against pointless wastes of time. This kind of gatekeeping might be acceptable in Linux but it's not acceptable within the 3D printing community. If you want this to grow into something more than a strange hobby only used by 40 year old virgins, you might want to find a better hobby. There's a place for reprap, and I'm all for it. But don't and like your souped up ender 3 is impressive. It's not. It's incredibly sad. At the end of the day you have to ask
>What am I getting out of this?
I'm all for it being open source and Bambu allows you to root your printer and install klipper. Any amount of research would have told you that. They're not against things being open, but there's a lock to prevent morons from breaking things by trying to fix what's not broken. I'm impressed by reprap and voron builds but at the end of the day, it's still incredibly sad that you think people want to endlessly tinker with shit. You don't see people disassembling a drill and strapping dildos and RGB inside of them and whatever else, so why do you want to do that with your 3d printer? It's not fun. Not even kind of. If you want 3d printing to change the world, it has to be this way. They're not blocking you from modifying the Bambu printer and in fact sell the p1p, and allow you to install klipper and there's profiles all over the Internet for them. You can print a companion cube enclosure and jerk off onto it all you want. But the rest of us just want to print cool shit.

If you need to replace anything on an old school ender, it might be time to upgrade to direct drive, unless you have a specific reason to stick with a bowden setup.

If you don't want to do that, there are tons of the extruder drive gear on aliexpress. Try the Mellow shop. When you replace it, only tighten the grub screws just slightly past finger tight with some BLUE loctite or some paint primer on the threads (not the tip of the grub screw where it applies pressure on the shaft, you want that dry so you don't over torque and strip the threads). Let it dry and it shouldn't loosen for a long long time.

>>2887478
Yeah, make a planetary gear system or belt drive even better probably to make a star tracker for astrophotography. Torque won't matter, 1rpm over 24 hours. You could turn a truck with it.

Currently printing out parts for a SMuFF V6 in Fusion Filaments HTPET+ (production purge spools). Not sure if the mix of resins during the purge was off, or some of what they spooled up before was still in the equipment, but this spool in particular is wanting to print at 305C (normally for HTPET+ I do 275C or 280C), and it is absorbing water like it is nylon (ok maybe not quite that bad).

Just got my first printer a few days ago (bambu mini) for making custom gaming parts, and after a couple days of fiddling, reading guides and prototyping and all that, I finally got my first finished design.

Bambu printers are more than a sum of their parts. It's kind of like buying a Mac or high end PC with Windows. The software just works, the printers just work. Every bit of it is an experience, and from start to finish, you're just producing quality prints. Except you can upgrade them or install different oses on them, though idk why you'd want to. They sell parts because things do break down and the parts they sell are fine. You don't need to build it, you take it out of the box, install an app, remove the packaging, and begin 3d printing. The quality of said prints is astoundingly good and every print is uniformly good. They're fast and efficient and get the job done. Sure you can mod them to be faster but it becomes a point of diminishing returns. I used to hate on Bambu. Then I got one.

>>2887554
The software is the easiest part to replicate since it's heavily based on open-source.

It applies across the board. Every other printer brand outside of say, Prusa, produces copycat ewaste. You have sovol that mimics everything but they are garbage. Kingroon? Forget it. I've went through countless companies who send me printers for review and I can't review nonworking garbage. Or a random box of parts shows up and I get an email a week later
>Hey anon, we agreed that you'd do a video review of our printer
To which I respond
>You sent me a box of parts, I can't review a box of parts.
Or the printer arrives broken because they're made from acrylic or some shit.

The answer is simply, don't buy garbage. I don't know what to tell you if you can't accept facts. Bambu makes the best 3D printer because it focuses on the user experience and quality of prints. If you want something to jerk off over endlessly wasting your time, build a voron. At least you'll end up with something you can be proud of.

You're giving for granted you're the one who's doing the buying, which doesn't apply when a tech-illiterate person tries to make a heartfelt gift (my case), and you're assuming that people on average have the autism to fully research a topic before making a purchase. Last, but not least, budget considerations.

Here's a short story:
>I'm autistic, I do a ton of research before buying anything tech
>want into 3dp
>settle on P1P/P1S, but refrain from buying because it's a lot of money for me (at the time)
>also due to said autism I have a hard time justifying such a purchase
>bday comes and gf decides to gift me a 3d printer to break the search-but-never-buy cycle
>it's a Sovol SV07
>now I'd rather upgrade it than sell it/throw it away/replace it for sentimental reasons
She later recalled how she actually did her own independent search, looking only at unsponsored reviews, and she never came across Bambu (don't ask me how); in the end she settled on Sovol because I once left a tab open on the SV08 page when I was doing my research and she happened to remember the brand, and the SV07 was within her limited budget. So yeah, your argument isn't wrong, but it's quite narrow sighted.

Put it on a shelf as a trophy. I don't care. But at the end of the day, you only have yourself to blame. I get that 3d printers are expensive. They need to come down in cost. It's a lot better than it used to be. The A1 costs more than it should. As does the mk4s. The p1p should be on your radar.

IPA doesn't remove oils, and they will eventually build up if you touch your bed. A quick wash with soapy water generally will fix a bed that nothing will stick too.

Best option is to use G10 or PP as a bed. Shit will grip most filaments with the force of 1000 suns, BUT will also let everything slide off once it cools back down to room temp. If you need the immediacy that a removable spring steel bed brings, a better option than PEI are ones that use a PC composite (like this one:<insertwordforwarriorwomenwithonebreasthere>.com/gp/product/B0B2PVWCBK/).

>>2887608

>no u
Look, I'm not here to defend a shitty chink bedslinger, nor I'm saying that it's a better printer than something that works reliably out of the box, because it's not. My issue stems from your "just don't buy shit products", because that's just not feasible for a number of reasons, some of which I've already explained. Again, I'd happily shoot chink companies' CEOs in the back if that means they'd stop flooding the market with shit ass bedslingers on POM wheels without even having the decency to tune them to the top of their capabilities. Hell, Sovol was so bad the leaflet they included with the printer instructed to install the accelerometer in a position so fucking bad it threw off all its readings.
Moreover, there's nothing wrong in wanting to make the most of what you got, regardless of how you ended up having it, and even applying lipstick on a pig has its own merits. In my case I learned so much more than I expected in tuning, fucking up, fixing, retuning, upgrading, retuning again, optimizing my Sovol. Sure it took time and energy, and the fucking SV07 is still a subpar printer that makes okay prints, but even a bad starting point can be an opportunity for self-improvement you otherwise wouldn't have experienced is what I'm saying.

>>2887616

Although I was looking into those plant/eco resins, since it seems that they are less toxic (still toxic of course, but still less toxic than regular resin).

>ton of filament waste
Depends on the setup: single extruder printers waste a lot of filament because they need to purge the nozzle for each color change, but usually a multiple-nozzle setup will need to print just a wipe tower and that contains waste to a more reasonable degree. At work we have a Raise3D Pro2, it has two independent extruders mounted on the same head, and the only waste it produces is our time because its slicer sucks bad.

There's nothing to engage with because I know every word you said was a lie and I can see right through you. I don't engage with liars on their level. Everything you say is pure cope. You flew off the handle at me first and now you backtrack. I have no reason to believe you or even like you. Go install Gentoo and get fucked. I don't care. For 3d printing to progress, people like you aren't necessary. Tinkering needs to die. You're not helping. You buying cheap garbage and acting like it's a badge of honor, is honestly sad. Then you say
>I'm an asshole because I like being an asshole
Then
>Why does nobody like me?
Jesus dude, get a life. You're nothing but a pathetic sad man. You'll never be a woman. I hate you with every fiber of my being. Why? It's not that you're trans, it's the mental illness you project into everything, then act like the world is the one at fault. People like you lack the self awareness to understand that most people don't like to fiddle fuck with shit. most people buy Mac or PC but never touch the OS. Most people want a 3d printer that just works and gets the fuck out of the way. You being in your Internet hug box doesn't represent the vast majority of people. We're ready to accept you, but you must be willing to stop being so abrasive. You being part of this movement is cool and all, but you need to understand that the reason I can tell who you are even through the Internet should tell you something. I had you pegged from the get go. You need to experience ego death still. It's part of being an adult. Some people never experience ego death and they become bitter and sad then angry and hollowed out, then they die alone. There is no reality in which this ends well for people like you. People like you force yourselves into every aspect of life, but act like victims at the slightest pushback. People don't like that kind of behavior.
>It's hard to justify the price
It's not that hard to justify $650 if it does everything without hassle

The owner of 3DRS explained it a little on a podcast, but the long short of it is: Yes, even the safest resins are poison, but the water washables ones are significantly worse.

He won't make one because some of the base components of common water washable resins are so bad that even getting them in the US is a PITA, and the end results in prints is often more brittle, which temps people to undercure their prints, which leaves the components of the resin able to absorb into your skin.
>>2887648
You didn't. You suggested a binary distro, and mis-predicted my opinion on Apple.
>>2887657
Holy fucking pathetic. Dude please stop. You're hurting yourself in the confusion.

or you can let mao take the wheel and shit half your filament down the drain

>>2887669
But what about Plant-based resins? I know that non-toxic resins doesn't exist, but are they worse or better?

I find it pretty interesting and wonder about peoples thought processes and why they went a certain way. Learning from other peoples mistakes as well.
I think the one with just one ring midway up would be the best for comfort, but maybe the second smaller ring helps with small adjustments on the stick...
Either way, its cool, good work.

>IPA doesn't remove oils
I try to not touch it, I use a nail or a plastic thingy. I'll remember to use soap if it doesn't stick but the PEI bed has been amazing compared to the glass one when I used it like 5yrs ago. Once the temp goes down a bit it pops off, or if it cools down completely the piece would slide off with any movement.
>>2887610
I thought the glass bed was cool, and I did like the texture the ender one had but it just never fucking worked without glue/hairspray or tape on the underside. My PEI bed just gets a wipe every few prints. I've only tried PLA and PETG though.
>>2887626
Is that ironing option meant to help fix the lines? I saw it in orca slicer but haven't looked into it.

I cant decide, should i do the regular belted z or the beta bottom mounted Z
the bottom mount is cooler but the fact that a motor on an end point is powering it all and not from the center bothers me if you understand what im trying to say

>>2887697
Exactly. Stop using antiquated garbage trying to make it work with your sunk cost fallacy. You'll have a much better time.

>>2887695
I don’t see any problem with the bottom-mount. The question is just whether more mass on the top of the gantry is beneficial or detrimental. I’m thinking detrimental.
Consider coreXZ instead, though at that point I’d be using rods or rails for Y.

Whatever you do, try to make sure there’s room left for tie-rods on the back of the gantry.

>>2887696
Anon you're clearly in the wrong board: if you just want people to buy whatever product just go on /g/ and have a good old brand war. It's ok though, it's easy to have such a silly little misunderstanding. Now let /diy/ers have their projects and fuck off this board for good.

apparently a a1 performs better with the massive AMS mounted on top of it

I don't care what you buy. If another company like Prusa or Bambu comes along and innovates, I'll let you know. I'm not a brand loyalist, I'm a person who 3d prints who has owned several 3d printers and just want to save you time and headaches. I'll never leave. Touch grass you silly little troon.

>>2887705
kek, I'll put it in the special screw box to giggle at when i look in there.
i love these images. DIN883 is a good one, i can just imagine someone making one with gears and junk inside it so the thread spins when you rotate the head.
>>2887704
I'm guessing that the a1 has a full frame, so it might be adding stability with the weight and reducing wiggle or something.
Whatever anon posted is just 2 posts

Adding mass on top lowers the natural frequency of the whole Z gantry (if you want to know more the keywords are "resonance frequency of a cantilever beam"). AFAIK input shaping acts (or at least works best) on frequencies below 100Hz. I assume it's a combination of those two factors.

>>2887706
>just want to save you
Take your savior complex somewhere else or fix it: wanting to "save" people that either don't want nor need "saving" is a telltale sign that you're partecipating in a drama of your own creation, especially when the people you're trying to involve in your own delusion push back. I hope I'm wrong and you're just a very dedicated troll just pretending to be retarded, but in the off chance I'm not here's an helpful resource that might give you some much needed perspective and insight for some self reflection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXcTIkuzQ3I

I never cease to be amazed at how those poor few bastards got singled out and demonized, and used as an insult by the most insecure among us.

2.4 tranny reporting in. suck my build volume. I am better than you and your ccprinter, even if the source of our materials is the same. I SSH harder than you could ever dream. I makeconfig at the speed of light. My canbus will choke you to death, my eddy probe leveling faster than you can think. My toolhead board has more power in it than your main board. My 24v mains and 1000w bed heater will boil your dead body. The cat ears on my stealthburner are just the cherry on my dilating cake.

What's causing this strange layer shifting? It's PLA.

>>2887732
It's a CoreXY printer like y'all told me to buy.

My creality CR6SE hotend rekt itself today. On the plus side I have an excuse to upgrade the hotend and extruder. On the minus side I'm out cash + no prints for a week.

>>2887732
>>2887733
You're printing too hot. Over extrusion. My advice to everyone is to print a temp tower for every roll of filament you get, write the temp that looks best on said roll. I've had prusament filament that printed funny between rolls.

>>2887735
Throw it away and buy a better printer. Take the hint.

>>2887739
It's gud enuff for my purposes (making test fitting prototypes for shit I will make using more traditional manufacturing methods) and I've had it for a while.

>>2886793
>It's a sunk cost fallacy to sink money into it.
No it isn't. The sunk cost fallacy has to do with basing decisions going forward on past (sunk) costs, like you're doing right there. Differences are what determine whether an option is better than another one, not how much was spent in the past on any of the options. The money for the old printer is already spent, and it will remain spent whether the printer is replaced or not, so it is not a difference between options going forward. Do you think it will cost more than $50 to buy a new printer that prints better than the old printer with a new $50 bed installed?

>>2887745
>Muh sunk cost fallacy
Take the hint, go onto one of the online market places and buy one from someone who put 9 hours onto their printer and lost interest. The universe wants you to have something new and fresh :) I'm not even mentioning brands because people here lose their shit if you dare mention anything other than poorfag tier shit.

>>2887750
This is what I've been saying. Like stop keeping your ancient 8 bit ender on life support. It's time to upgrade.

>The only one with a narrow world view here is you.

>>2887757
Your circumstances are specific to you and definitely not the world view on things. I don't care what you're going through. Sorry. This isn't church. 3d printing doesn't need you to exist. You being here is actually a net negative. You being a poorfag makes it a double net negative. It's ok to be poor, it's not ok to sit there acting like everyone is also too poor to justify $650. You have to understand that a printer like the p1s used to be $5000. No I'm not kidding. So nut the fuck up, get a job, and buy one or don't. Either way, shut the fuck up. Being autistic isn't an excuse for being a massive faggot.
