3D Printing.. where you guys at!!!

[ReaperST]

Yep, got a cheap Arduino uno and some jumper cables from DIY to flash the boot loader.

Seems simple enough. Now to find an Uno as well

Its just a one time thing to flash the bootloader - After that it is never required again

Rather post a sales thread as to make use of thr template etc. It will also attract more potential buyers as thread than it will as a post in a discussion.

So anybody got one I can borrow?

FYI - Guys getting the Ender 3, print yourself a filament guide. I had under extrusion and after quite a bit of investigations, I realized the guide for the extruder had slightly worn out 😭

I have ordered the full metal one but in the meantime I've super glued the hole shut and added a nut to the front you see below.

Just checked my print going now. Can see how that happened quite easily.

Think that's why some guys move the filament holder next to the printer

Solves that filament rubbing against the z rod too. But how sturdy would that be? Compared to injection moulded part or aluminum?

The cover that came on the z-rod, just cut a short 3cm piece off and slide it down the rod - Now the filament will turn the rubber instead of rubbing against the rod.

I will try the normal mount and report back but my entire hotend and part cooling assembly is made of printed parts and they are sturdy as hell!

Knew I should of kept that.... plan is to move the spool next to the printer. Future plans

But won't you still run into issues when the Z gets higher? As then it will have to pull the filament up (against gravity lol)

Is possible. One way to find out

I am busy printing these two guides:
Ender 3 Filament Guide by robathome
Ender-3 Bearing Filament Guide by klingler

Both of which will have 608 bearings which should never have this shitty issue again

Where you getting the 608 bearings from?

My print from above just finished - I really wish I could automate the glass bed removal and replacement remotely, even if it was just once...

I've even considered "ramming" the parts off with the hot end gantry 🙈

EDIT: Once the glass bed has cooled, the parts are completely detached and won't require much force - The initial skirt is another problem though...

Just bought a Dremel - Cleaning up prints will no longer be a hassle!!

Awesome, 17 hour print with 10% to go and it bugs out. It looks like it was trying to print a slinky at the end.

Finished printing Fluffy for the girlfriend last night.

Just need to clean it up a little, then prime and paint

What do you mean with bugs out?

I think its under extruding. The last couple of layers looks like this.

I made this for wife for valentine's. She gave it away...

Solved the under extrusion issue. The lever on the extruder cracked right beneath the gear. So the gear is not applying any pressure to the filament. Guess this is the excuse i needed to order that aluminum extruder upgrade.
