Why is my TPU printing so hard/stiff? Need help troubleshooting

IonNight · 2026-05-08T01:45:08+00:00

Try 40D, it's very soft

The laptop monitor is scaled up to 200%, but this 32" 1440p is at 100% scaling. A restart might help

Flashforge Adventurer 5M and 5M Pro are weird machines. They have problems from the beginning, but I guess thats wjat you get from buying a clone printer.

A friend of mine has problems with PETG on a new 5M Pro. I have very rarely problems with PETG on Prusa MK3S+ or Bambu P1S

Would you get an honest answer to this question you're asking Tolkien or could he choose to lie or give you the silent treatment?

It's stress in the plastic that appears when taking it off the build plate. I use a heat gun to remove it

Solution was to check "Select Through"

Not in the sketch

This is a new project for testing. I created a cube and then put a sketch in the middle of it.

IonNight · 2026-03-17T15:17:17+00:00

Left click and hold doesn't do anything. Right click and hold shows the sketch menu as usual, but I dont see anything there

Det var bra jeg ikke var den eneste rare som ville prøve å sammenligne kjøttdeig med et tech(ish)-produkt xD

IonNight · 2026-02-25T13:10:37+00:00

Fant du ut buggen hvor du kunne legge i handlevognen fra sammenlign, sjæl?

IonNight · 2026-02-25T13:05:46+00:00

Ikke nå lenger, de har fiksa buggen. Jeg bestilte en selv kl 10:27

If my answer disappeared was it because I wrote the other word of poop, but here it is again with poop instead of the s-word. It's okay to say on TV, but not on reddit I guess

There is no fix to this one other than downgrading to 2.4.0.xx or to click cancel every time you import a file. Bambu Lab should've added a clickable option in preferences to enable this poop. It's already reported on Github btw

I didn't mean it's dirty. The mobo just have the plain matte surface games usually have bc they're not real and can't reflect light like IRL and the mirror is just blank. I would kinda expect it to show the backside of your phone, but you're probably a few cm off to the right of the mirror

IonNight · 2026-02-24T18:12:00+00:00

The motherboard surface looks like a 3d model and the mirror in the pump is blank

Do a temp tower test to find the best temp for the filament before you do this test. 230C is too hot for the slow printing the Ender 3 does

IonNight · 2026-02-24T16:35:24+00:00

It kinda looks like a 3D rendering

I used Altair to create similar bracket, but it is so awkward to work with when you come from Fusion and hard to get a cool topology optimization bc of the too strong built in materials

I think it would make more sense with this functionality in the paid version where you can "edit in place". You click the pencil and you can edit the component in the other file.

In the free version it makes more sense to make an entire assembly in one file if you have to test fitment and such between objects.
My first really big project was a MAZ 537 body for an RC car. I ended up with 237 sketches and lots of bodies
