I’ve got my own G10 build plate, and had nothing but trouble with it, just nothing sticking at all, somehow PLA is warping just as much as ABS? Is there some setting or change you need to do on G10?

some of my drivers on my ender 3 mainboard are fried, so i was thinking if i could use an arduino with cnc shield i have together with the board to replace the fried and add some more for dual color printing

Suddenly for a reason I don't know all of the motors for my printer are overheating I did update klipper, klipper screen, and I think moonraker today to the latest version but I'm unsure if that's the cause, but that is the only change I can think of that might have caused it. Klippy log (if it helps) any help with what the cause might be is greatly appreciated. I'm running a Manta E3EZ with an EBB SB2209 on klipper. Here's my setting in Klipper for the motors

This is in a serperate file due to me running it from a Can Bus board

Just saw this Micronics desktop SLS printer today. A fully custom designed SLS printer even down to the laser control system and software seems mad impressive for its price. Especially considering a Formlabs SLA printer starts at around $2.6k. I've only seen a few makers like StuffMadeHere use SLS machines before, and it seems to have some really impressive capabilities that I would definitely want to experience myself

Hello everyone,

I am a master student in the Netherlands and trying to help a small 3D printing business to become more sustainable for my thesis. it would be amazing if you could fill my survey. it is very short, less that 3 minutes. no typing all multiple choices.

Thank you in advance.

A few weeks (maybe a couple months) ago, someone posted here about pricing their 3d printing services, based on a 1:1:1 pricing model. It was really informative, they included some of their wording for advertising. I can't find it now, if anyone remembers it I'd really appreciate a link.

I am looking into buying a resin 3D printer, and I am binging youtube videos about it.

I have learned that the fumes from it is toxic and that you need to have a well ventilated room for it.

In my circumstance, the only place I can think of where I can have it is in the garage.

I would be walking past it for a couple seconds when I get in and out of the car but other than that, it would be alone.

Is this safe enough or do I need to do more in regards to ventilation? The model I am looking at says that it comes with an air heater and purifier, but I don't know how much those help?

I understand these are newbie questions and I apperciate the help and advice

I’ve heard pretty good things about the Ender 3, but I was wondering if there was a better option

My printer keeps losing z height as they get taller. Prints start out just fine, after about 2 inches the nozzles starts running in the print. I have run the calibration. This is not my first print. Printed plenty of stuff so I'm at a loss for what the problem could be. Ender 3 v3 ke. I can adjust the z height on the fly and that fixes it but only for a period of time and of course that's not a viable solution.

I'm just wondering if the attached is considered a very smooth first layer or not? And is there a way to improve it even further?

What slicer should I use with Ender 3 s1

Glass bed on my Robo broke so I'm replacing it with aluminum and PEI. Hopefully it works.

I have a couple 3D printers for personal DIY projects but now I am looking for ideas to make some money out of them. Any suggestions of products I can print and sell on eBay and similar e-commerce sites?

I am wondering if anyone has been successful at doing something like that.

I always thought it was kinda dumb printing on tape since i have a heated bed. I’ve had nothing but constant failures on first layers with a heated bed. Then got told to try tape and my first layers have been simply gorgeous since then. It’s adhering so much better and doesn’t move or list or distort from heat. Why didn’t i try this before, kinda dumb question but i have to ask I was told there was difference between beige and blue painters tape for 3D printing but they couldn’t give me any proof

Any one know what failed here?

I have an Ender enclosure and figured this couldn't hurt... Right?

Had a power outage today in the middle of a print and it honestly surprised me how long my external power supply lasted. I never thought it would maintain a printer for a good period I thought it would be a good idea for short outages to avoid a messed up print. This is honestly impressive to me.

It finished the print with 75% battery capacity left and it finished the end of the print about 10 mins before the electricity came back on.
