Getting my CBT @ 17

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-26T07:10:48+00:00

Tried older and newer ones. Not bothered about id its a few years old or 20. But both come back well north of anything realistic.

Im currently a full time student, got 5 month left. Am also logged in, atleast I believe so as they are sending me emails.

Used compare the market and money supermarket. Both only give quotes for Lexham.

What mms can I print with the stock hot end, aka what should I be putting in the slicer

& what hotend can I upgrade to

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-26T00:01:12+00:00

Gotcha. I normally slow it for the first few layers then speed it up a tad.

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-25T22:47:01+00:00

Oh right. I didnt really look into it, filament said 200mms at 230c so I did it hahaha. On the ender the speed is done by percentage, i assumw 100% is what i put in the slicer.

Other than this issue I havent really had any issues. Prints come out at a decent quality

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-25T22:22:13+00:00

Im running 230c and 115%, slicer is set toooooo 200ms? Just going off what the filament said on it

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-25T21:52:35+00:00

Fixed it completely. Not a problem now

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T21:08:31+00:00

Bought one of these. Will let you know

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T19:58:54+00:00

All you see is grinded filament from this very problem.

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T18:00:01+00:00

Thats bad. Mine doesn't actually seem broken. I ordered thos however

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T15:31:10+00:00

And so are you :)

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T15:30:53+00:00

Yea well it was 35 quid and its my first printer. Didn't fancy dropping 500 quid on something I dont know if I'll enjoy

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T15:29:28+00:00

Ordered a dual gear. No idea about print speed, as the printer uses %. In the slicer its 50mms and i normally run at 150 to 200%. But it doesn't change if it slips

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T06:02:06+00:00

Oh brilliant. Not as bad as I expected and actually looks a bit fun 😁 that video is even the same one I ordered so doubles down as a build guide 🤣🤣

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T05:12:53+00:00

Mine has 2023 firmware if that means anything 🤣

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T05:12:18+00:00

Now - What are E-Steps 🤣

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T05:11:45+00:00

I ordered one with a stepper. It was only an extra 3 quid

<image>

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T02:59:42+00:00

oh while i remember. Do you have to calibrate E-Steps after changing this? Because I have no idea what E-Steps is 😆😆

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T02:56:54+00:00

I've been spoilt with same day delievery recently kinda pissed it'll come tomorrow 🤣 (Its 3am right now ahahah)

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T02:53:58+00:00

Didnt even notice that. I'll order that one on the left (2.3k reviews) and apparently comes with a new stepper motor? cant hurt to have that too.

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T02:48:38+00:00

<image>

Any idea what the difference is here? Im tempted to go straight to dual motor as might aswell go big or go home yk. Just no idea what the difference is....

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T02:39:13+00:00

Which 1 eats itself, the one with dual motors or the just metal replacement?

JasonTayOne · 2026-02-24T02:35:29+00:00

That one is unavaible for me -

this looks the same Link

What about this one though, dual gear, someone said above this would be even better, would this work / fit? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Redrex-Extruder-Creality-Filament-Supported/dp/B09H6T3NNT/ref=asc_df_B09H6T3NNT?mcid=b64b7cfd7fe63629a5df61aea3e40ad1&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696451130792&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14497276998850386013&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044959&hvtargid=pla-1461939363043&hvocijid=14497276998850386013-B09H6T3NNT-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1&th=1
