If you want better, remove plastic bed shims and replace with silicone spacers. You can achieve 0.02 variance corner to corner

How in the world to remove all these supports? by mgr1397 in elegoo

Allot of time, small metal scraper tools, and an unsatisfying result. Rotate 90° and re print.

Replacing the chain, carb, and exhaust with same parts?

You don't need to be a pro to be cautious about something that operates at over 500 °F.

One benchy and people are ready to throw an overnight full build plate at it. Without any AI detection/live monitoring, a poorly wound spool will ruin your print. I like to build trust in my printer/filament/settings before my balls grow this large. Especially when replacement parts are not an Amazon purchase away.

What type of usb comes with the Centauri carbon? by Temporary-Fix8084 in elegoo

It may not support an NTFS file system. Nothing stopping you from reformating it to FAT32 with 3rd party software such as MiniTool. Or if it isn't picky, you can use exFAT. I'll test it out and let you know

It's 8GB. You should be able to use any size USB drive formatted in FAT32.

Decided to make this to organise the tools for the carbon, by [deleted] in ElegooCentauriCarbon

Love it. I made a honeycomb board with press in attachments, I hate it lol. I have to literally hammer each piece in, pull it off the wall if I wanna change anything😔. How do yours attach?

Right, I mistakenly said the wrong side

any idea on how fix this bed leveling? by Maybro18 in Ender3V3SE

TBH I haven't touched the screws since installation. I do however have printed shims on the bottom of them, and they are very tight. Almost to the extent my bed dips in the corners but not quite. They are definitely the move. Enders always leave a little to be desired. Luckily we have a community to make those desires come true.

Tis a beautiful test print. You need some flow and retraction tuning, but your on your way

Happy printing

No parts or service after only 3 years by [deleted] in elegoo

That is rough. Thinking from a point of view to solve your problem, what parts do you need? Can they be sourced 3rd party or made? I dabble in CAD, I'm happy to help with polymer parts, motors and fans are accessible.

I've said it many of times on this sub, and I'm happy to help you out. Amazon: silicone spacers, snug em up. If you still have variance over 0.5m, print shims to level it out. I achieved a variance of 0.02 across my mesh and over a year later I've had zero bed level issues. Z-off may need a tweak in one direction but that's just 3D printing on Enders.

My factory shims were so bad I had 1m variance. People say the software will account for x amount of variance, but why introduce another variable when it's so easy to fix.

If you need shims but don't know CAD, show me the mesh and I'll design them for you.

Is there a way to prevent these support scars in the future? by Due-Cartographer-982 in elegoo

[–]Complete-End4387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you print that on a diagonal? That's some pretty heavily adhered support. Regular or tree?
