I can't find the file for this model

Do you have any tips on how to search for model files?

What is the easiest 3D modeling tool for a total amateur?

Hello,

I'm sorry to ask a question that's probably already been asked here, but I can't find the information I'm looking for.

I ordered a sonic pad to add Klipper to my Ender 3V3SE.

However, I can't figure out what parameters to modify in Orca to improve the speed.

Is it automatic once Klipper and the Sonic Pad are installed? Or do I need to download specific profiles?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hey, I recreated safety belt knife for anyone to print, it stops at layer 15 for you to add standard 19mm trapezoidal blade and encases it in print.

safety belt knifeKeep it in car for safty or use it daily to open packages :)

I have an Ender 5 that I have added the Endorphin3d modifications to but I want to go further.
I've been interested in the XoL toolhead but I have no idea what parts I'm supposed to print in order for me to be able to use it with my Ender 5.
Has anybody completed this project before to be able to give me a hand?

Thank you for any help

Got this smooth plate for my printer and I just cant seem to get prints to stick. Plate is fresh out of the box and washed with warm water, dish soap, and an alcohol wipe afterwards.

Already have my temps up for PLA (70C bed, 220 Nozzle) and it isn't doing much, any suggestions?

I can't find on the Internet either a project or a spare part. so I'll try to design it myself. but since I design in tinkencad. I think I'll need help with this

Looking for an stl file

Atm I have a Bambu labs A1 with a set of hardened 0.4/0.6 and lasty the 0.8 nozzles and I want to print with PA12-CF and ABS but the only brand that's prest into the printer is polylite and when I Google it polymarker shows up but after 12 different slides or just looking I found a clear version of pla which it was branded as polymarker polylite PLA+

.so iam hoping some printing vets can shine some light on this little mystery that's plaguing me is polylite just a blend of filament or just a different name for polymarker

Hopefully this was straight though and not some bramble that you would of had to decipher

I was wondering, after hours of research and looking at different hotends, technologies they use, what is open source, and what is patented, why I couldn’t find anything like this.

Has anyone tried modifying the stock Ender 3 MK8 hotend with a bimetal heatbreak and titanium "standoffs" (similar to what Mellow and Vzbot did with the Goliath) to enable one-handed nozzle changes and better performance on the MK8 / Ender 3 for cheap?

You can kind of do a one-handed nozzle change on the stock MK8 (Ender 3), but it doesn’t feel very secure and risk breaking something.

From what I’ve found (please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong), the MK8 on the Ender 3 is open source and has two screws that secure the hot side to the cold side. However, it seems that if you use spacers on the screws or in addition to the screws, you may infringe on Slice Engineering's patent. But what about using "screws" in the same way as the Ender 3 MK8, albeit a "special" type of screw (standoffs)?

It looks like the original Goliath had issues (patent infringement) with using spacers and switched to standoffs/screws (they call them screws on the listings) to secure the hot side to the cold side.

Anyway, I’m just curious to know if anyone has tried this and what others think as this could be a cheap way to get one hand nozzle change on mk8 and other hotends.

Picture 1: Stock Ender 3 V2 hotend (with all-metal heatbreak)

Picture 2: Same as Picture 1 but with brass standoffs for a completely rigid mount and one-handed nozzle change (for illustration only, and not tested; titanium screws would most likely work best to prevent heat creep)

what am i missing on those profiles? I see everyone building stuff out of it, but it's really expensive. I was going to build a cover for my 3D printer but the cost of the profiles is almost the same as my printer. Am I looking at the wrong profiles?

I bought some CPAP tubing and a 24v/12W 120x32mm blower fan from GDSTime. Bench testing this, the blower is a beast. But once I push it through the tube and out the nozzles the air flow is a little disappointing.

Any tips or tricks?

I had to delete my last post since it only uploaded the video and nothing else.

i"m having a problem with the bench hull line. I'm read too many reddit posts, prusaform articles and google docs today to be productive at work 😅.

Is there any definite answers that would be great.

Tonight I'm going to try the print exterior Perimeters first, using PrusaSlicer and see the results that gives me.

There was talk about "decreasing skin expand distance" but I don't have that in Prusaslicer I see someone said use XY size compensation. Does this work? I can also try that.

Currently I'm using a Frankenstein Wanhao D5S (from thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3086909) to replace the 2.8/3mm filament which is so hard to come by in my country). The Firmware is Marlin. The only make on this guys amazing post is mine.

I'm using 0.1mm layer height with 50% infill.

Printing at 200°C with a bed temperature of 75°C.

Yes i know there is some stringing on the next print I'll increase the retraction distance and see if that helps.

3D printing noob here, got my first printer the A1 about a month ago and have been loving it!

In the tool box of the A1 I found these two silicone pieces with F written on them. They're not part of the components list in the manual and I can't find anything about them online! Can someone please tell me what are these two pieces for?

Hello everyone! I’m passionate about 3D printing and design. I currently have a job, but I’d love to turn 3D printing into a side business to earn a bit of extra income, as it’s one of my favorite hobbies.

At the moment, I have two printers, one filament and one resin, so I can cover a good variety of requests. I’d love to get some advice on how to expand this activity. I’ve already tried platforms like Fiverr, but without much success.

I’m also thinking about creating a website, but I’m not sure how to promote it and attract clients beyond my current circle of friends and acquaintances.

Could you suggest ways for me to advertise myself? Or are there platforms I could rely on?

Thanks a lot in advance, and have a great day!

There used to be these really cheap 3d printer kits that came in a million pieces and you had to assemble it, unfortuntaley I don't see them anymore, it was made of cnc cut wood or acrylic panels, does anyone still have one of this? and how did it hold up? (i'm not trying to buy a cheap 3d printer, I already have one, just curious about those kits, since I would have loved to get one and put it together but couldn't afford one back when they were still around)

Has anyone heard of this company and /or bought their filament? I picked up a bunch cheap on Temu for $9/kg. It’s testing out as perfectly decent. The company website at veeology.com returns a 404.

Sorry for my English.

This is my first 3d printer and I printed this goku figure but this happen on the side facing the bottom with all the supports. Any ideas about it? I used Ender 3 v2.

I'm tired of dealing with vacuum bags and the way the look. I couldn't find a container that was the right size, so I designed my own. Being that I didn't see anything out there, I'm probably crazy.

Is this nutty? I've verified lid and window are airtight. I haven't sealed the hygrometer, so there's probably leakage there, but when I put the lid on, it wants to bulge from the air, so it must not leak that much. There's a desiccant container that I load into the middle of the spool. Currently this is a separately printed design that just drops in and holds about 75 grams of desiccant. On testing, it drops the ambient humidity from 40% to 15%...though I haven't tested how long that's good for. Upfront materials cost is about $80, but per unit cost is about $15 dollars.

I’m trying to follow the YouTube guides for adding texture to your print using idea works.

I’m almost there except the part where the print you can choose wether to raise the light color of the texture or the dark color.

In YouTube videos it show this option when you click slice, a pop up with editing tool shows.

However when i hit slice nothing pops up, it just starts slicing.

Does anyone have a solution? I’m running the program on Mac
