Nice asbestos panels up there.

>>2501436
Looks underextruded as fuck, to be honest.

>>2501025
Nah mate, it's a dilator, i'm sure of it.

TPU for buttplugs.

>Prusa XL
I have a Prusa Mini clone. Very detailed engineering. I guess they will be around for some time.
But is the XL even available? I know i had to wait 4 month for the Prusa Mini and eventually gave up and ordered a chink kit, which worked out fine.
Never heard of the other two.

>>2500701
Don't mind the texture, i tried coasting, didn't work out. Bought a smooth PEI sheet for my Prusa Mini, surface looks like this now.

>>2500699
A RaSCSI (basically a SCSI1 hat for a RPi4) case i printed in ColorFabb Ral 7044 to match the Macintosh color. It's perfect.
A 2kg spool costs 110€ with shipping.

>>2500649
I didn't think glass beds warp at all. So far i never used one, but i have a XS5A Pro incoming that has a coated 330x330mm glass bed. It's huge. Should i be worried?
>>2500653
There is always the next best thing on the horizon. I wouldn't worry, it's a good printer as it is (it's a Ender3 v2 clone, right?). Maybe list the changes between yours and the Pro.
You can turn the Ender 3 to direct drive for 5 bucks, cheaper if you print it yourself:

It's just a fucking bracket and some screws, you already have the motor and extruder mechanics. Don't let the Chinks chink you, bud.
>>2500683
Interesting. Now you know.

Check out this Rodime Systems Cobra 70e i got recently. I'm printing a bracket to insert a newer hdd and power supply as we speak, without even taking out the old stuff (which still works but is loud as fuck).

>I can SEE the subtle wobble
Those are called ringing, caused by resonances. CoreXY has them, albeit reduced.
To fix ringing, you calculate the exact movements to compat it in the slicer. That reduces ringing a great deal or allows you to crank up speed.
That, of course, can be done with a bedslinger als well.
>>2500528
Butt plug, guessing by this gentlemans gayness.
>>2500458
My god, look at them going fast!

>cheap resin
Regular resin is acrylic. Its brittle by nature. If there are no forces acting on it, it might work.
I use a UV paint for protecting traces on repaired old computer mainboards (think collectibles, like old Macintoshes). UV hardening the paint is easy and quick with a UV flashlight. I would think it would work for your application, if done only for optics.

Fuck it, i ordered a Tronxy X5SA Pro for 323€ incl. 3 day shipping in Germany.
I think i can solve the problems it has easy enough and the price is really nice.
This thing is huge, 330x330x400 build volume, about 700x700x600 on the table!
I have a Prusa Mini that i use mainly, but sometimes you need a larger volume.

>>2500299
Why tho? Ender has rubber wheels, that leaves only the mainboard and fans to make noise. Should be easy enough to fix.

>>2500234
If you only have one Z screw it will be slightly hanging down on the other side, but that shouldn't be a problem, since you adjust the bed so that it is a bit down on that side too.
You don't need a BLTouch and you don't need a second Z screw unless you print high precision over the entire build volume.
Get fucking started and stop upgrading!

Was just reading up on it, it seems the Ender 5 pro get delivered with the silent boards now.
Chinks, amirite?

>>2500004
Almost, bruf, almost. Have a Ukie lady innawoods.

>>2499665
Can't say anything to "I've heard of people having trouble with some aftermarket boards".
I personally have had a few printers, Anet A8, CR-10, Ender 2, Ender 3 and now Prusa Mini (FYSETC clone). I'm also looking for a large volume printer and think the Ender 5 Pro is a valid and cost efficient choice, after all it's just a hobby. I personally don't mind the sound, it would live in the basement. What i don't want is another bed slinger, as these are only great if your printing platform can be small.
A shop on Aliexpress will have the FYSETC Prusa kits for 30% off at 11.11, might get another Prusa Mini just to be able to print different things at the same time. They are silent and fit nicely in my living room cabinet. At the same time I'm looking out for deals on larger CoreXY printers.
>>2499671
Here is the thing, i personally don't think any of that is needed if you print PLA. If you have one of the first Ender 3 with 8 bit board and plastic extruder, you can and maybe should update to 32 bit and metal extruder. Other than that, i don't see need for updates.
Next step would be CoreXY instead of bed slinger.
>>2499720
The Ender 2 really was a good printer. I should have kept mine, to be honest.
>>2499920
I would get the cheapest one that has 24 volt bed, a metal extruder and TMC drivers (aka silent board), if i'm correct all of your choices offer that. Make a spreadsheet with all the features and prices to decide.

>>2497632
I think you should slow down until it's good enough, then print a heat tower.
>>2497804
Why? You can just buy a new printer.

>marble filament
European statue incoming!
>>2498542
kek
>>2498720
You need to print with actual filament, this looks like your print on 70% or so.
>>2499034
You want to change the board, it's an old 8 bit one. It's loud and you want separate drivers for the two Z motors.
>>2499091
A Prusa Mini clone.
>>2499357
You gonna need three extruders, boy. Hope you got the stomach for that.
>>2499547
That is as good as it get, i think. It's better than most are able to, so be happy.
You buy a phone with a macro, wide and regular lens. I have a Pixel 6 pro, makes perfect pictures all the time, the only problem is, it can't take CRT pics, i collect old macs and that is anoying. I have a Samsung Galaxy 7 tablet that i have to use instead.

>>2494490
16€ a kg for the cheap Esun stuff at Amazon.
However, my latest PLA filament from ColorFabb was 50€ a kg, a handmade RAL color.

How can i test if a print was made with PLA or PETG.
Burn test?

>>2493986
All of them will be soaked up and end up in Iranian drones or something.

>>2493484
You can buy a RPi4/2GB for 65€ at Berrybase, but you have to join their Club, which is free.
They also have all kinds of RPi4 Compute modules, starting at under 50€.
You can thank me later.

>>2492894
Internet says the belts are too tight. Who would have guessed that.

Any idea what the cause for that might be?

Printed a Macintosh like case.

>>2489825
Clog city called, they want your nozzle.
>>2489844
Should work, if we are talking PLA carbon.
>>2489859
Half a bar overpressure, maybe. MAYBE! 10 bars? Forget it.

Buy a new bowden tube, a new nozzle and a new heat break, you have replaced everything in the path that can be clogged. Costs about 20 or 30 bucks. Or by an entirely new premade hotend for about the same.
>Why the fuck
Everyone else prints just fine with an Ender 3. It is you who is getting filtered by not thinking.
