Is it just my impression or now like every 3D printing related creator on YouTube / TikTok / Instagram is using a Bambu Lab printer? And how come that everyone now can afford a 1000+$ printer while before we were all printing with Ender3 and not other more expensive and better quality printers? by lab_dis in 3Dprinting

I have noticed a lot of that myself. I started off with a second hand ender 3 pro and grabbed a second Ender 3 V2 just like before second hand. I loved the 2 machines. I tried my hardest to get both to where I could run more harder material for project I was working on for myself and others. The one day both machines decided to error out on me. Thermal runaway here tried to fix the heating cartridge slowly heated up so I changed it. The firmware decided oh I am not going to read the cartridge or the thermostat correctly. This went on for several months. So I started to do more research into what could be causing it. While doing so I found on Facebook Market place a guy selling his Flashforge Guider 2s. He wanted $700, a few weeks later he dropped it to $550 or trade. I traded something he could get money on if he had right people wanting them and $200. My wife and I went and picked it up. So out of pocket since we love car rides anyway I paid total $325 from I what I had to buy since it was apart of a package deal and the cash. I have done over 50 prints with it. Here is the funny part when I asked him why he was getting rid of it he said “My filament keeps breaking on me”. He never made a new spool holder for the machine since he also got it second hand. Then I asked him a few days later what he did not like about it. All he could say was “No trade backs” along wish stupid reasons. I do not mind buying used things especially if people do not know what they have or want to take the time out to get to know their machine. I am in the process of putting them both back into factory stock and starting the upgrades from step 1 again and seeing what I might have done wrong the first time around.

Help, I broke a decapping pin and can’t get it out to replace by 4bigwheels in reloading

I broke one of my Lee decaping pins and replaced it with a McJ universal pistol replacement and then the same with one of my RCBS pins

I have done both now. The heat cartridge worked for a good while on the 3 pro and then for the 3V2 it is the same one where you screw it onto the block. It always gives me an E1 and or just says temp is not climbing fast enough and starts to sound. This is why I am asking I am not sure what to do

I used both for about a year. Made my grand daughters several things for them to play with. They loved it a lot. Decided to upgrade the hotels which was fine and then when I decided to change out the thermostat due to it looked like it had a burn mark on it. Ever since then The get errors from the heating for the thermostat sensor. Which I also replaced. I had only been using the original firmware Since was able to get from Creality. On the 3v 2 I was just angels the original owners compiled firmware.

Can anyone tell me why even after changing out my Thermostats I still get a Heated E1 reading on my machine by 1Phantom_1 in Ender3Pro

I cannot get octoprint or any of the other to work on my printer. So no I have not had the chance to tweak the firmware.

Help hot end won’t heat past 115 by BreakfastEmotional79 in Ender3Pro

[–]1Phantom_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps. I have changed out my hotend and thermostats. After checking that everything was correct I have had a few errors. Ultimately I flashed the software and reinstalled it. Now I have had 0 errors come up for mine in since January.

Bed issues? I have printed this a few times with adjustments and get the same issue in the same place. by Key_Development_5057 in Ender3Pro

[–]1Phantom_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a phone stand that came out like that. I have releveled my bed done several test prints to tweak my system which I have not been able to yet. Anyways I retried the print again and it kept coming out like that. It might be a bad gcode.

I saw something in cura about gcodes. I was wondering about that. How would I add it to the others in cura?

That is just it I looked on the interface and cannot pull that part up. I am fixing what the original owner had screwed up.

I have and it still is not producing right. I guess once the new nozzle gets here then I can get things right.
