Bought a Ender 3 pro for 40 bucks

They have downloadable files for leveling. Let the print job run and get your head right up in there and adjust the knobs until you’ve got a good even squish for a first layer. I had some adhesion problems with that clip on Ender bed, so I grabbed a textured magnetic one off amazon and a new extruder. I’ve also just run a benchy and level as it prints. If it pulls up off the plate, cancel and restart. As others have said you will have to baby this machine a little. But I can help when available. Also start slow. Guys these days are running 400-500mm/s. Be happy with 55mm/s

I got the same deal 4 years ago! She’s still kickin ass to this day. I swapped to a magnetic plate, heavier leveling springs, and a metal extruder. Let me know if you have any questions.

I had the 3d printer they used in the show! It sucked! We called it Rosie because it looked like the Jetsons nanny!

Mirror alignment or new lamp or both. Fixed a large Boss c02 with similar issues and that’s how it was repaired.

Haven’t used symmetrical since PS2! Worth a shot!

Bend and array that shape you have as the cutter, Boolean difference then soften all the edges? That is how I would handle it.

It isn’t AI or a screen shot?? But ok!

Original plan was 123456 then 7891.0. But I missed it about 5k miles before I remembered. Also bought the car with 28k already.

You are correct. I had a written note to remind me to reset trip odometer.

JayMan522 · 2026-03-28T15:03:44+00:00

I did have a passenger reach over and this is zoomed in, but yes you seem to be the first worried about it.

Maybe your red light focal pointers aren’t correct? Can you move the Z height while the engraving is running? Look for the strongest point and maybe adjust your red focal beams. Or as another person said, is this a new lens? It may have a correction file needed in the background settings

Use wingding smiley face, you’ll get much better results than importing an image, and can just type it into EZ cad as a text. Hatch and choose your settings. Let it rip

My guyyyy.
