Oy you cunts,
I'm back, and still looking for a dildo to splice.
I've already CAD-ed up the AR pistol grip, but I still am on the hunt for a penis/dildo to slap on the bottom of it.

C'mon out you degenerate 3D printing dildo anons, I know one of you has a saucy dong to share.

I promise to credit the first production to you.
And no, I did not make this sort of item for an AR15, I usually design furniture for firearms, complete frames and other nonsense, but I cant seem to draw a dick to save my life in CAD.

This is the grip, but it should be a penis.
Because somewhere, someone, will want this. At least one person has asked me to make this.

Did all the initial issues with the Anycubic Chiron get ironed out? I remember there was a kerfuful about that where they had to pull listings, and now it looks like they're back. I'm looking for a decent 300*300 plus printer under a grand and it seems pretty reasonably priced for such a big size, and it works with ABS so that's a plus.

From the previous thread:

Yes, especially if you've got massive prints.
>higher print speeds with powerful hot and high preassure extruders?
Not higher print head speeds (those sometimes have to be toned down) but massive nozzle sizes and layer heights are what give you that huge volume flow. 15mm nozzles aren't unheard of.

So I finally got my skr mini e3 1.2 firmware compiled and it’s working.

However I have disconnected and disabled the bltouch because it was crashing the hot end into the brand new (actually flat) bed

I don’t think it’s defective because it works and actuates. But I’m not sure if I wired it right (some diagrams say you should use jumpers as well as the bltouch connectors but I think it’s for sensorless homing and I’m not sure how that works or the benefit it gives.

How much of a pain in the ass is setting this thing up going to be?

it's good enough for welding a continuous line as long as nothing changes
but as soon as you reach the endpoint (tu delft) or have too much heat in it (tony building up high)
the quality goes to shit you would have to constantly adjust your welding parameters
there are two ways to do that both need a lot of R&D
either your slicer can precisely calculate what parameter is best for which part of your print beforehand
or you have some kind of feedback loop adjusting amperage and feedrate continuously based on some sensor

either way is much more work than just slapping a welder on a printer setting it to x Amps and y feedrate and just going for it

It already exists. There are several brands. Some use wire-feed with a laser as the heat source for the melt pool, some or just basic wire-feed MIG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdEit7aPRh0
, and some are fancy-ass powder spray with a path for a laser or electron beam, through the middle of the nozzle as it sprays powder.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4m8eRmGWFI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL7bMhPTtDI
And a marginal few more use extremely high velocity powder spray (sometimes heated) to just deposit the material. Those are called cold spray or plasma spray guns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUd8VM2d2pY

The wire-feed machines have the worst resolution of the bunch, so they're mostly just used to make a near-net-shape billet in alloys that would would have cost more in tooling to produce using only machining.

No you don't, you can buy more expensive components from reputable sources outside of China. Most of the bad reputation of Chinese clones is from cheaping out on parts, bad design, bad assembly or bad firmware (thermal runaway). You can avoid all of these by buying the proper parts, with a good design for your printer, assembling it carefully and putting a stable firmware on there. If you do this with chinkshit parts, just accept that some will be duds and buy replacements - cheaper than buying Euro or US stuff anyways.

If Bosch are better, how come they don't offer black anodized versions? Item also now has both 5mm and 6mm channel widths for their 20x20 extrusions so you can use any type of T-nuts you want.

At the time i was looking at steppers from Lam Technologies (Italy), and while they offer a tiny bit more torque on their NEMA17 models, a single motor costs about as much as 5 chinese Wantai or Motech ones so i passed.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. If I buy something from a German, he sets the price after the quality. If I say "I can pay you 10% less", he says no deal. With the Chinese, chances are they say okay and then sell me a 10% worse product instead. As long as you find a decent seller and don't buy the absolutely cheapest version they offer I haven't had any quality issues. It's when you go on ebay and sort by cheapest+shipping that the problems start.

Case in point, my buildtak ripoffs aren't the cheapest I could get, but they work just as good as the real deal. When I went to the local makerstore and bought their buildtak it was pure shit, probably because what they'd done is just buy 200 of the cheapest thing aliexpress had listed.

The fan shroud.
For some reason the stock Ender 3 fan shroud is amazing for surface quality. The upgrade apparently blows the air too concentrated or something and makes everything look like shit.

You can skip the Duex2 for IDEX setups. Those boards are for when you need to add servos, more fans, additional heater outputs etc.

There's a guide on the Duet wiki that explains how to hook up a 6th motor using a cheap RAMPS pcb or simple pololu breakout board:

That depends greatly on what board you already have. The easiest method i can think of for a cheap 8bit Atmega type board would be to buy another one and a raspberry pi, then use the Klipper firmware. The Pi controls both microcontrollers giving you in total more stepper drivers and extruder heaters than you need.

It's not actually another 150, I picked up my ender 5 for $250 on 11.11, will probably be the same on Black Friday.

And IMO yes, unless you are on a hard budget I don't think the Ender 3 is worth getting anymore now that the Ender 5 exists, it's a printer you can eventually print any material with including PC, ABS, and Nylon. The kinematic system is way better than the i3 style.

What's your first layer height?
I print .2 first layers always, regardless of if I'm doing thinner layers after, because it makes it much easier to get adhesion and it compensates for the warping your bed gets when it heats. I don't even have to use paper now, I just push the nozzle to each corner, eyeball it, and it works fine.
If you're willing to spend some money, BLTouch is pretty easy to install and set up, with it you only need to level the bed once. Some people with it just tune their bed once and then put hot glue on the adjustment screws so the bed will stay tuned.

Something you can do for free and that also makes things easier is installing the latest marlin 2.0 software. With it you can click your display wheel twice to get a "micro stepping" menu, which lets you fine adjust the nozzle height. You can use it to tune the printer as it goes. Just slice your print to have a wider brim or skirt, and then adjust the nozzle while the printer moves. You can do this with the tuning wheels too if you want, just be careful you don't burn yourself.

Very. I've never had problems with a properly tightened E3D V6, and I swap nozzles about every week. Company I work for changes them so damn often they'll wear out the regular aluminium ones, E3D recommended us the nickeled copper ones if you want an absolutely bulletproof solution (with better heat distribution too).
Not shilling for them either, just stating that I've never had issues with the genuine stuff.

I know we all like to shit on the Ender for being cheap, but mine honestly seems pretty well made. So far the only upgrades I've done that haven't backfired have been a SKR board for quiet steppers, a BLTouch and a DIY filament sensor made from the old Z endstop. Even today decent stepper drivers and a BLTouch aren't standard in the Ender's price class, so I don't think it's entirely fair to fault them on not including them as stock, and filament sensors are rare even in more expensive printers.

Thank you, but I can't take credit. I did come up with the idea on my own, but the actual part I printed is just a remix of some guy's work on thingiverse.

I've been using it since July with no issues. The filament moving over the button arm isn't going to do any damage, it's steel. The filament never moves against the filament sensor mount, there's bowden tubes on both sides. It's missing one section in the picture because I was doing something and forgot to put it back, but this works fine.

My end stop lever isn't going to be ground away by this, I'm using a shitty aluminium "upgrade", but even on the stock it wouldn't do any damage, the filament is perfectly straight from the out hole on the sensor to the gear on the extruder.

Hello all.
I'm looking to get into 3D printing. I have done some research and I can't decide between the Ender 3 and the Geeetech A10. I'm leaning towards the A10, but that might be because due to my inexperience I'm looking at the wrong features, or I'm missing something important. Can you help?

Just got an ender 3 with glass bed here but one side of the bed (back-left) is higher than the others and I can't get the paper test to work on all sides at once. Either the back-left is too high and the nozzle will scrape the bed or the front-right is too low and it won't be near the nozzle even if I unscrew it all the way.
Any idea what the problem could be?

Having written the sticky: there's more people ITT with a subtype of the Ender, than with any type of the Geeeeeeeeeetechs. The Creality is pretty much the goto beginner printer for good reason: it's cheap, it does what it says on the tin (not much more) and survey says 99% of them won't burn your house down. Can't say that for the Geeetechs. Personally, I know six people with an Ender 3, none of them have had any significant issues, and they're happy with them - can't say the same for the Geeetech. The only advantage is some minor improvements, which you can get on the E3 Pro as well iirc.

The problem was the clips on the plate being misaligned along with the z-stop aligment.

Probably also partly due to the springs being shit.

Well, sort of. Most extruders consist of a little gear that mounts directly onto the shaft of the stepper. You can't really make the gear smaller, which means the only way to get good torque is by fitting a bigger motor. The option is something like a BMG, which is a gearbox that downshifts the stepper to get good torque.
But getting enough torque is a real problem, especially on bowden setups where you need to maintain a higher nozzle pressure. Try heating your printer up and pushing filament through by hand, you need to use a bit of force.

Yeah right now I'm installing the hero me dual fan duct and a micro Swiss clone as well as a quieter 4010 fan. Still waiting for my SKR E3 to come in the mail.

I haven't pushed it yet, I'm gonna try for 100mm/s+ once I get the new board and set up Klipper. The roller system is really rigid and I don't have any worries about running it that fast. I'm going direct drive as well, but putting a smaller stepper motor and a geared BMG clone on instead. I think people overplay how much weight affects the print head. Stepper motors with nice TMC drivers are super strong and should be able to fling the print head around with ease.

Ender 5 Plus? It's pretty new but generally it's a bigger and upgraded Ender 5. Takes like 30 mins to an hour to set up. Otherwise the SK-Go is an excellent deal if you don't mind waiting for restock and don't mind it not coming partly assembled like the Ender.

Weight tends to be an issue when you get past a certain impulse acceleration iirc. The reason why linear advance was implemented was because people started turning that down to go up in speed but slower jerks caused the corners and curves to blob/overextrude. It's also why stuff like carbon fiber gantries, bed plates, and why h-bot and coreXY got more attention from DIYers who wanted to achieve industrial grade speeds.

>>1725444
Yeah but a pancake stepper and a mostly plastic BMG extruder don't add enough weight to really become a problem for the steppers. I think the gains in things like sharp corners or part accuracy from direct drive are worth using it for. Also makes tuning new materials easier.

As I remember linear advance was implemented to compensate for each individual printer's distance from the extruder to the nozzle and is primarily used to compensate for the filament slack in a Bowden application. You need a much lower linear advance value for direct drive. It's still useful but not as much as for Bowden setups.

I know what you mean. I went to the Voron site to look at the bill of materials, and it was this ridiculously long list containing brand-specific and expensive linear rails, which meant I couldn't even save some money by buying Chinese clone parts. I honestly think it might be easier to just design your own coreXY at this point, just buying whatever profiles and rails your hardware store carries and designing your printer around those. The actual machine isn't actually that complex, it's mostly a matter of getting everything squared and tight, which is easy if you already have a decent printer since you can just print custom tools and fittings for everything. Angle brackets and other fittings for aluminium profiles are all over thingiverse, so you might not even need to CAD anything. Even that "Voron parts must be printed from ABS" seems a bit excessive, since PLA+ is a more rigid plastic nowadays. If you're not putting it in an enclosure, it shouldn't matter. I suspect the Voron guys might be gatekeeping to keep Enderfags out.

They're hiwin mgn9hs. There are a fair amount of clones out there, but they should have used MGN12H. The 12mm rails are by fair more common in terms of clones and have been used by plenty of people so they have good sources for cheaper chinese ones.

You can try the (new?) Sainsmart Coreception. It's 300x300x330mm, but I have no idea how good it is. CoreXY is simple but a lot of chinese still can't get it right, the moving belts need to be parallel so the distances don't change as the carriage moves around. Fortunately the Coreception looks like it has completely parallel belts which is a good sign, but can't speak for the quality of the components. For that size you could have a look at the hypercube evolution which should be perfectly fine up to 300mm. Or you can look at the sk-go which is around $800 shipped from taiwan

Well Sainsmart is one of those mass kit chinese companies like Creality. Quality may be hit or miss. The sk-go is a one man hobby turned business IIRC and he actively works on updates and software/firmware fixes. The only issue I have with the sk-go is that some stuff, like the fan brackets and some junk have to be printed, although you can purchase them from him for a rather steep price for a handful of parts.

Thoughts on making a "table cnc" style very large printer?
I'm thinking of something like 1000x300x100 print area.
Replace the linear rails in pic related with aluminum extrusions and bolt everything onto a 5mm thick steel plate, this steel plate also works as the print surface.
It wouldn't have an exceptional acceleration due to it being huge and there being quite a lot of weight swinging around but throw a volcano hotend on there and the print speed ought to be pretty ok.
And as for bed leveling i'm thinking of using some sensor, mechanical or induction, on the hotend and then doing surface mapping to account for surface imperfections of the print surface.
I'm not quite sure as of yet which axis ought to be the long one, currently i'm thinking of making the axis in pic related that goes from right to left but i'm not quite sure.

Might as well build a small printfarm then, and connect blocks with dovetail joints.
>how often do you print objects above 100mm?
Not very often, true - but then again, most people rarely printer larger than 100mm cubed. The problem is that people rarely consider redesigning an object into parts so it'll fit into multiple printers at once, which massively increases your production speed and reduces your failure rate. Most people should consider buying a printer for 80% of their printing needs (in terms of print volume), and outsourcing or slicing up the rest.

Yea the SK is probably a good one. Chinese kits can be hit or miss. It will be open for order today I believe, but there's a big facebook group waiting for it to come out so you'll want to keep an eye on it if you want one. Like I said, one man project, so he probably won't have a ton of units to sell per batch. He sent out times earlier this week but I think I deleted the email. There is one concern that I've seen some people raise with other corexys, and it's that the corexy pulley mechanisms are just screwed down at the bottom and not braced at the top. Apparently it's possible to tighten the belts enough to pull a nut out of place or bend a screw over time, although I don't know if that's a particular problem with the sk-go, just a concern floated around when custom coreyx printer designs started coming out. The popular diy designs like the hypercube put the pulley bolt through a top and bottom so it's supported at both ends evenly.

Sure it will. It'll just take a little extra time. Even with just a heated bed you can easily reach 50-60C just from an enclosure. It's enough for ABS. It's not like everyone printing ABS is exclusive printing with Stratasys machines that can reach 90-100C.

You prolly won't find anything better for that price but imo working a part time job for a couple of weekends and then having enough money for a proper machine is a way better option than cheaping out, you'll probably have to work less manhours in the part time job than on the 150€ printer anyway.

Anycubic is mostly known for their resin printers but seem to have an active community. The key with chinkshit is to find something that has an active American community desu. It puts pressure on the chinese manufacturers to listen to feedback because Americans will scream about everything

Took the weekend to figure out the basics of Fusion360 and made myself a 75% mechanical keyboard, at least a raw test print of it. I'm quite happy how this came out, now I gotta fix a few little things and print it with a higher density. It's only 20% infill with 2 walls printed with a 0,6mm nozzle and 0,48 layer height. I wanted to make a quick print to check it out but I really like the big sausage layers you get at 0,48 and I'll probably stick to that with a higher infill.
It looked real flimsy during printing because of the big gaps but ended up being quite sturdy.

First printed the cube on the left with a custom designed extruder, had some severe underextrusion, axes weren't calibrated, some other minor problems. Mostly ghosting resulting from that inconsistent extruder.
Calibrated the axes properly, and installed a Bondtech QR. Set E-steps to their recommended value (not sure if that's a good idea without calibrating E-steps, but hey), and printed the cube on the right. Ghosting due to the extruder is gone, but with the X-Y bed it's still got some scruffy looking corners - so I'm going to do some acceleration tuning next. what's the deal with the top surface though? The ''outlines'' are perfect, but the middle square is extremely rough. Overextrusion with the nozzle dragging through it? Anybody got an idea here?
