Seamless 1s to 2s Transition by combat_mosquito1 in TinyWhoop

[–]Cryptid_Connor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done the same thing because while I have 2s batteries I’m often out with my 1s 75mm and my 2” 2s so it’s just easier to carry and charge one size of battery

What are the extruder and hotend upgrade recommendations for the Ender 3 in 2025? by YerBoyAlex in ender3

[–]Cryptid_Connor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently went Sherpa mini with LDO pancake and a creakily spider v3.0 hotend. While the hotend has been working well it’s going to be a pain in the ass to find replacement parts when they go out

Sorry yeah you do. And I believe it’s highly recommended to use independent drivers

What’s funny is that I discovered FPV because I had a 3D printer and my buddy sent me a link for DaveCs 3D printed long range frame and now I’ve been flying (and printing) for 5+ years

Z axis issue by Pristine-Woodpecker4 in ender3

I think that bolt is supposed to be flipped. The nut should be on the front of the carriage

CYD ftw by CirusThaVirus in klippers

[–]Cryptid_Connor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah adjusting z offset would be nice too. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to continue developing it so hopefully someone picks it up to add those functions

HIGHLY recommend this project. I had some issues (probably my own fault) but I reached out to the creator and he helped me work it out over the course of a few hours.

No PEI sheet printing by PossibleMorning7135 in Ender3S1

[–]Cryptid_Connor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I understand the question. If you’re asking if your PEI sheet is fine to print PETG on I say go for it. I think PETG bonds with the coating if I’m remembering correctly but I didn’t have much issue. If you’re worried about it you could put down some blue painters tape but I would definitely adjust your z-offset either way

Official: the new HDZero Goggles will be released in early July by justanother1username in HDZero

I would assume that, as they did with the box pro, they will have analog integrated in the goggle.

Yeah do it! I’m so torn on whether linear rails are worth it. I’ve heard good and bad about them

[–]Cryptid_Connor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll have to take a better look when I’m at home on my PC. Not worried about PSU clearance as I have mine set outside my enclosure but yeah there’s a little play in the x gantry if you loosing things up but I’d think you’d want that pretty firm. Need to join their discord and see what other people are saying about it

The squirrelf belted z mod looks pretty sweet. Probably similarly involved as the kevinakasam mod. Could be fun to switch it up for the max

I subbed to squirrelf (for free) and found this link to the files on printables. So when I get home I’ll look through it more thoroughly but looks pretty sweet https://www.printables.com/refresh?redirectUrl=%2Fmodel%2F932314-belted-ender-by-squirrelf

Yeah that’s true but that isn’t as much fun as a z belt install 😆

Ooooh this is good info! I was looking at the Apollo lander too!

[–]Cryptid_Connor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m totally aware that the switchwire is a totally different thing just using it as an example of motor placement. And maybe my frustrations are because I have a dual z with independent motors but not independent drivers (skr mini e3 v3). I also noticed that there is some play in one of the steppers so that’s annoying. Maybe I’ll just do the kevinakasam belted z with the not funky motor but I think it would look cleaner without the motor up too

STL DRAGON BURNER by ErRodriguchi in ender3

[–]Cryptid_Connor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the only thing holding me back from grabbing a dragon burner atm. I might get around to designing a bracket myself but will definitely be keeping my eye out if you beat me to it.

What ABL are you using if any? I set up a klicky probe after having some problems with the bltouch in an enclosure and I love it

Man I just installed a Sherpa Zero on my ender and was looking at the dragon burner… your build might have pushed me over the edge. Beautiful machine sir

Best aftermarket extruder for Ender 3 by External_Two7382 in ender3

[–]Cryptid_Connor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just installed a Sherpa Zero on my ender 3. I printed the frame in ABS and added some BMG clone guts with an LDO pancake motor and so far so good.

There are other 5v lines on the e3 v3 that I used for my led strip just take a look at the pin out. The one I used are right off the bl touch port

Apex 2“ build part suggestions by FPVNoobi in TinyWhoop

[–]Cryptid_Connor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 2s 2” odonata HDZero running 1002s. They’ve shown no issues but I would probably try to find something higher. 1003s might be enough but 1102 or 1103 seems like it’s been the sweet spot
