It's the little things that count. Designed a simple magnetic latch for a sliding drawer that was bugging me

Bambu A1 combo

I bought Bambu A1 combo and I'm willing to order filament.

Does PLA 1.75mm dia. works for it? I see the maul says 0.8mm diameter but can't find it online.

The filament I like named Creality but they say it is compatible with kost 3d printers.

Clogging issue Creality V3 SE

So, first off, I'm new to 3D printing. With that said, two months ago I bought a Creality V3 SE. Since then, I've been printing some smaller objects, and recently I encountered a clogging issue. The filament seemed to somehow get trapped under the silicone housing. I cleaned the hot-end and replaced the nozzle with the same stock 0.4mm one. After a couple of calibration prints, I printed the default Creality cat, and the same problem occurred. I have no idea if this is a common issue or user error, so any help would be appreciated. The filament used is 1.75mm Black PLA by 123-3D (the Jupiter series, to be exact).

Cleaning my print bed, what do I use?

I have a creality ender 3 v2 neo. I don't know what type of bed it is and can't find any information but would like to know what I can use to clean it as it has lots of dust and I have touched the bed a lot, I have been putting off cleaning it because I couldn't find anything about the bed and didn't want to damage it.

Getting my first printer today!!!

So im ordering my first printer, a neptune 3 max, and im wondering what filament i should go with. Should i just start with basic PLA or should i get PLA+, would i be better off getting PETG? Any filament help knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

First attempts running something else than PLA or PLA + were not a success....kobra 2 pro brand new

i dont really understand what is happening but benchy was perfect on PLA then i tried to buy some petg when i try to print a benchy with petg the first layer corners are going up like if the new layers were pulling themself toward the middle or something, i cannot really understand what is happening but i i just founf out the anycubic software seems locked at 260 MAX...someone got and idea ? like zero problems then PEtg all sort of issues mainly the first layer compressing themself up making a lifted corner with ugly traces....more heat on the bed or less is ideal when you want the part to not do these crazy moves while printing ??

Filament purchases

Hello. I’m still very new to 3d printing in general and I’ve nearly run out of the filament my printer came with. (Monoprice Voxel or Adv3). I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what I should be looking at for replacements? It’s PLA I want to stick with for sure, but I think my printer has a limitation in spool size that I need to keep in mind, and I don’t really know the differences in like PLA and PLA+ and all that jazz.

Anyone have the same printer or similar situation that can give me a quality recommendation for PLA to replace with?

Thanks in advance! :)

How do I create a 3D model like this?

I have a few images I would like to print like this , but am unsure how to create them.

Can someone shed some light on the process or post a link where I can learn this?

Thanks! - Bambu A1

Failed Print Won't Come Up (PLA)

Hey everyone. I (relatively recently) was gifted a Creality Ender 3 (I think) filament printer. I have yet to get the damn thing to print something successfully. The most recent Print, however, will not come off the bed. The bed is glass, and I've been instructed to use a knife or metallic scraper to get it off, but the knife isn't working (I don't have a scraper). I've been trying to three days, and while some has come up, most is still stuck and won't budge. Any suggestions? There's nothing tall enough to grab, in case that's something someone wants to suggest.

How to make filament clear

I wanted to 3d print a lamp but I’m not sure how I can make it so the light filament can diffuse the light. I wanted a black base with the translucent like top.

Is it better to use auto builder or edit the marlin firmware yourself.

I've been using the original firmware for some time and I just couldn't figure out what firmware to use if I have a silent board andd cr touch installed. Someone suggested the neo firmware but the problem is I tried that and the hot end is printing too far right so where larger prints will print off the bed. That how I had to go back into the STL and rotate the model 90 degrees. Butt al long as the layer lines are horizontal on the model that's fine and they were but I think because it's printing iffsencter it's out of spec because it would fit and required some sliling and elbow grease. I also noticed it's printing a little foonfar forward by probably 2 or 3mm but that was just the brim and the rest just a straightthin edge and that's not supposed to happen and il I'm just guessing that it printed you. Hard forward to the white wire. It can't go where the build plate reached the end of the track. I don't have a fillament detector but I might have to add that at some point. After all I'm doing some big prints for a prodject.

I see videos on the marlin homebrew where you use Microsoft visual to edit the marlin firmware but upon installing Arduino and opening the firmware code it also asked me if I wanted to install the marlin auto builder. I just installed it just because but is it better to use that or edit it yourself.

X1c w/ ams or k2 plus w/ cfs

Looking to step up my 3d print game but I'm torn. On one hand I want an effortless printer but one with good support and community when something does go wrong. Also want muti material support with the high temp filaments. But I'm afraid of creality because of my experience with enders. Both are big leaps from the Kobra 2 pro I'm using rn.

Fed up with my neptune 3 max

My neptune 3 max recently decided to refuse to make prints. After printing multiple projects with no issues my neptune won't even print the Buddha test print. I have changed the settings, changed out the nozzle, cleaned the mat, used glue, relentless the platform, and even reset factory setting when nose of those worked.

That said this is my first printer and I am going to return it to Amazon and get something else. Any suggestions for a new printer that won't cause so many problems would be appreciated. My budget is around 500 and multi spool would be a plus.

Mk4s vs p1s AMS

Hey guys,

This question is so simple and hard at the same time.

P1S AMS or MK4s?

I am from Czechia, where Prusa is based from, but i dont see the value there much as the price of parts sucks :D So i need help here as i want to buy brand new one. Im looking mainly into reliability, but at this price id want more. :D

On the MK4S i like that that the brand has its name, but i dont feel paying that much just for name. Open source sounds great, but what its about, really? I really like open source things, but what do i get here? Also what cought my attention is the “S” variant which makes it have less supports. But thats kinda it. Prusa states its quality in prints but well… its still their website.

On the other hand the P1S I like the bigger volume of printing and at the same time it being smaller thanks to CoreXY. For the same amount of money i get it: built, with enclosure and AMS. Which really sounds great.

Filaments: Actually i dont know what id like to print. But it would be mainly PETG, ASA has caught my eye as well. But simply id like to print with as much filaments as its possible - again for the money id like that :D

Im open to anything. Thanks!

Need help with a tv part

I am looking to print a replacement stand for a vizio M551D-A2 (55 inch tv). It originally came with a single stand.

https://preview.redd.it/9hitx37qmh4e1.jpg?width=410&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6383ded384309f7111fcaa759705462d8fdeebfa

I tried yeggi, but didn't find something similar (or it is being drowned out by all the vizio sound bar brackets). I don't have access to the tv in question. We are getting a new tv for my dad for Christmas, so this one is coming off the wall and moving down to his basement. The OEM replacement cost was something insane like $60, and the previous "universal" stand they tried for it didn't work.

I have only ever made a simple part in CAD, and without access to the tv I can't get the measurements I might need to try and fabricate one myself. Any ideas? I have PLA, PETG, and some really hard TPU at my disposal, but don't mind ordering stuff if you think I would need it.

Mars 5 or Halot Mage Pro?

Cybermonday is almost over and both of this printers have free shiping to my country (Argentina), and are about the same price right now. The Mage pro is 8k and the Mars 5 4k, but it seems like the Mage its way too fast and has more problems the more you look at it. What should I pick?

Tenlog hands 2 E2 intermittent extruding

I picked up a tenlog hands two not o long ago, second hand, but i don't think the guy ever used it. It took me a while to get it up and running, but lately I am getting really intermittent extruding on the E2 extruder. I have tried running it on a different power source different materials, cleaned out the hot end, check all the wire connections, tightened all the bolts. Nothing, Then I realized if is set it to miltiole parts or mirror the second extuder off the first then it works great. It only does the super crappy prints if the code is being sent directly to the E2 from my cura g-code. I'm stumped, i'm going to try to see if i can get orca slicer to work, but that's a whole other thing. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, i'm all ears. Thank you
