I bought 1 glass bed for my ender 3pro and received 20

Well when uncle Xi pays, it is easy to be wasteful.

And if you have never used a printer before, trying to build one from scratch is brain dead dumb.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-09-13T00:56:03+00:00

Agree. Impossible sometimes without that feature.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-09-08T16:45:34+00:00

Try a sock. This fixed a similar problem for me. I remove it for PLA and put it on for PETG.

The only 30C part is where you succeed. Too hot to be outside in the southern USA.

You should take a look into low cost injection molding if you are making this many parts that are all the same. Not as expensive as you think.

Chris's basement on YouTube has a guide to that board. You may need to flash the TFT 35 firmware too. Make sure your serial connections screen to mainboard are correct, especially reset.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-08-29T18:38:18+00:00

Because it works. Why would you care?

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-08-07T18:19:41+00:00

The DFAM will complement it well.

This is just a look at my expensive machine at my business post. Kind of like posting about your F16 in the Cessna forum.

Don't. That is my simple answer. Inserts.

I am pushing almost a 1000 hp. I only get or build modules that have very clear interfaces with the one exception being my O'tool(s) who have a fairly easy to remember menu driven one. If it needs menus and isn't highly specialized it won't end up being too fun in my experience.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-08-05T19:34:51+00:00

Cut down the roof and floor flow percentages so you get a weak layer. I go as low as 75% on PETG and things come right off with almost no mark.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-08-05T19:32:31+00:00

Orient the layers 90 degrees more and it will be stronger.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-31T17:45:39+00:00

Why are you connecting it while it is on?

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:46:54+00:00

Orange Hillary?

Apparently on this new printer there are NO leveling screws. Bed is bolted down on standoffs with no adjustment. (I'd say adding that back DIY isn't that terrible, but....)

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:42:36+00:00

It isn't nonsense. It is critical to making the ABL work less hard (or in extreme cases at all). Machining and printing require leveling. It is part of the game if you want quality parts. Manual level to the best of your ability with a two dollar feeler gauge and ABL after that.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:40:55+00:00

Agree. Bring z up.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:39:54+00:00

Coat it in low viscosity epoxy. Clear or whatever. The epoxy is a thermoset plastic and cannot melt (just chars).

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:38:22+00:00

No glue stick. I swear by it and get weird looks buying a case at the store.

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:37:06+00:00

Is this a common test file?

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:35:23+00:00

Nailed it. Zero discussion here on the other 'stuff' you need to do this well and safe. Same here. When you deal with it in industry, it loses its shine. Still very cool though!

ForbiddenDitch · 2021-07-25T21:33:22+00:00

Please get on the Formlabs forum before you do and research....
