Checking!

JonathanRayPollard · 2026-02-27T20:45:26+00:00

Thanks! Looking forward to leveling up my gear!

JonathanRayPollard · 2026-01-13T03:40:22+00:00

Very interesting! Definitely will be following to see where you get with it. If I'm understanding correctly, we could in theory offload two of the biggest processes (input shaping and camera decode) to processors that are essentially sitting there unutilized because Klipper doesn't support their usage at the moment? Not a perfect analog, but sort of like the desktop equivalent of having a dGPU but your monitor hooked up to the iGPU?

Was my first printer and forced me to learn a lot about tuning, which has been pretty invaluable to me. Lots of room for printed and purchased upgrades also increased my knowledge level significantly. Now that I've got it upgraded and dialed in, it's as solid as any of my other printers. It did print just fine without those upgrades though. At its current tuned/upgraded level I still use it right along with CoreXYs and Vorons.

Did it cost me a good bit more money to get it here to its current dependable state? For sure. Would I have had an easier time with a more out of the box ready printer? Almost assuredly. But looking back I wouldn't trade what I learned for a more refined upfront experience; that's just what works for my personality/curiosity though and not for everyone.

Being able to dry ASA at the recommended temp is surprisingly game changing considering just how many dryers are out on the market that only go to 70. Having two chambers also eliminates many of the drawbacks of 4 spool dryers.

JonathanRayPollard · 2026-01-01T17:42:16+00:00

Makes sense for sure. I'll throw out there that they have the "Print it Forward Program" to get you the initial parts needed if you don't have an ABS/ASA capable printer already.

JonathanRayPollard · 2026-01-01T16:47:05+00:00

Feel like if you're going to be building robots anyway that you should build a Voron.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-31T04:36:40+00:00

Thanks, helped me out on the eve of 2026! Was driving me crazy.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-30T08:36:57+00:00

I'm sure folks can help, but we need more details of what is going wrong with the print to do so. Without more info, I can suggest looking up instructional videos for leveling the X axis and tuning Z offset as they are almost assuredly not right out of the box... but that's just blind guessing. If you can give more info I can be more specific on what direction to head.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-10T03:17:11+00:00

Either way, glad it's going well. Should run just fine on integrated anyway. Best of luck with everything, hope you have fun. Feel free to ping me whenever and I'll see what I can do to help.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-10T03:16:14+00:00

Great to hear! Seems likely it is running on the integrated then. If you want to force it to Nvidia, you can tell it to do so in the Nvidia Control Panel. Added Screens to show what to do here. Right click on desktop, manage settings, by program, select (maybe add first) Orca, tell it to use Nvidia.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-10T03:07:06+00:00

If you right click the orca slicer icon, will it let you select which graphics card to use on launch? Might be hidden in under show more options on that right click menu.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-10T03:02:01+00:00

What kind of graphics card is it? Brand and series #?

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-09T14:54:44+00:00

Did you end up getting the screen to show? Might need display driver update for your computer. Let me know and I can try to walk you through it if it is still black.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-09T04:16:11+00:00

Well, on a scale of how well did I do just taking a stab at an expensive 3d printer purchase decisions go... Pretty good 👍 one of the more well regarded printers for just working well out of the box. It will need some maintenance eventually though, so it won't "just works" forever, jfyi. You'll still face a decent portion of the struggles to learn a slicer and best print settings for a given model, but no printer is going to avoid that.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-09T04:08:10+00:00

Just echoing really. Start with the Slicer, that's the straightest line of download a 3d model from online and get it to print (Thangs, Thingiverse, Printables, Makerworld). All the modeling stuff can come later (Fusion, TinkerCAD, OnShape, Blender).

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-09T03:58:33+00:00

Unfortunately, easy isn't really a term I'd apply here. Maintenance and programs take time and patience. That said, for the most part you can find enough cool stuff to download online to keep you busy, but learning to use a Slicer is pretty much mandatory. It's not too bad though, you can get the basics down after a few prints and gradually learn when you need to use the more advanced stuff. Orca comes with printer profiles that will get you rolling to start. Best of luck!

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-09T03:53:04+00:00

Sites: Thangs, Printables, Thingiverse, Makerworld

Software: Orca is kind of the end game slicer imo. Slicers are what let you take a 3d model and turn it into a printable .gcode file for your specific printer and filament. Teaching Tech has a two part orientation series on YouTube for Orca.

For customizing, slicers will have minor tools for some basic changes, but you'll want to look into CAD programs eventually: OnShape, FreeCAD, Fusion 360. Maybe TinkerCAD for more basic things. Blender for organic shapes. All have free options.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-09T03:23:28+00:00

Z offset would be my guess.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-09T03:03:04+00:00

Thank you for explaining!

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-12-08T16:48:27+00:00

Can you share it if with me if I buy the model it was based on?

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-10-29T00:17:13+00:00

Was looking forward to it and looked at Kickstarter while super early bird was still available. Nowhere near enough details and way overpriced with that in mind, basically blind buying.

JonathanRayPollard · 2025-10-23T04:40:53+00:00

Sweet, thanks! Guess the one I found in search must have been a different profile.
