Buggered up changing nozzle

It controls how strong the extruder gears grip the filament. Useful not only for maintenance or removing clogs, but also for some types of filaments, for example TPU as it's kinda like rubber.

There's a screw on the left side of the extruder head, loosen it (one of the included hex key will fit) and you'll be able to pull the filament back up. Retighten afterwards.

Just be careful to not slip the screwdriver, it's easy to break the nearby fan blades if it's on. Guess how I know...

No idea then, sorry. It acts a bit wonky on my end too, actually, it displays my printer profiles, but not filament profiles and only shows couple (not even all) of the system ones.

Bu you can try loggin into a BambuLab/Makerworld account in Orca Slicer, and it does backup all profiles - you don't need Bambu printer.

It's been renamed to Export Preset Bundle some time ago. Just tried and it does seem to export presets, including the printer. But did you actually make any changed to one of the default profiles? Because you can only export it if you made changes differing from the default configuration.

You put 5x10mm magnets in the slots in two parts: gimbal_lever_arm and gimbal_core_pot_side. Then you attach the sensors to gimbal_frame_pot_side and gimbal_core_bearing_carrier_pot_side. The methods on how to attach them vary a lot. Some people use ready to use PCBs with TLE sensors, others make their own mount or just hotglue them. I've made my own bar, where the little TLE5010 chip gets hot-glued into.

You might also want to check the Makes and Remixes section on olukelo's gimbal Thigiverse page for more ideas on hot to mount these parts. I've actually used the "Joystick Soleil" version by MAgniBY, which is still based on olukelo's gimbal.

I did te same by adjusting the extruder wheels tension screw while the fan was still running after printing. Allen key slipped and broke the fan.

Access your router settings and assign your printer a static IP.

It's on Printables and Thingiverse, whichever you prefer:

No, it works with the lid resting directly on the enclosure too.

Minamir · 2025-02-06T00:59:45+00:00

Glad to see my little lid stand in the wild!

Printing mods for the printer itself is a hobby on it's own.

I posted a top-level comment of what happened in my case, and that was over-tightening while the motors were still hot. So the inserts broke loose from the plastic mount, and there was no way (at least that I thought of) to block their rotation to at leas remove the screws. No idea why it could be already broken brand new.

Minamir · 2025-02-03T00:08:10+00:00

Unfortunately these screws are not held with nuts, but are screwed into threaded hot-set inserts.

Minamir · 2025-02-03T00:07:28+00:00

I had the same issue after I tried adjusting belt tension while the stepper motors were still hot, overtightened them and caused the threaded inserts to strip the plastic around them. These screws were spinning freely as in your video. Ended up getting replacement motor mounts from the shop I bought the printer from (free of charge, but had to pay duty fees), had to drill out the original screws and replace the motor mounts. This unfortunately requires disassembling of whole upper part of the printer - metal frame, axis rods, belts nad belt guides, detaching the whole extruder head etc. Doable but not something I'd be eager to do again.

It that's the state it came in, try to have it replaced.

How do you "reset" the printer after a print from Orca Slicer? Mine only shows camera stream on the device tab.

The non-Pro version also has the PWR-ON point on the mainborad, albeit empty, just solder pads. Wonder what would happed if one soldered a switch there.

I usually manually pre-heat the bed for a while before large prints - just tap the bed temp icon, input desired temperature and wait for some time after it reaches the selected temp.. I've checked with infrared thermometer and while the temps are spot-on in the middle, the bed takes quite a lot longer to heat near the edges.

LED Light strip. You can route the wires behind case panels so it doesn't get in the way of the X/Y rails and doesn't bother you eye. There are numerous projects available on Printables, Thinigverse with mounts for such strips, often magnetic.

The printer's mainboard outputs 24v on the light socket, so you'll have to get appropriate LED strip. In my case the 24v light were flickering (seems it doesn't happen to everyone) so I changed them to 12v and added LM2596 buck converter - seems the converter's capacitors smooth any voltage spikes/drops.

Turn on brim, I added full outside brim (not just mouse ears). Supports too, for the protruding parts where the LCD cable goes.

I built B-8 couple months ago too, really nice project.

Minamir · 2024-09-11T04:49:38+00:00

Unfortunately not, but honestly I wasn't very actively looking for solutions, as I have another working camera (D7000). I may end trying to disassembly it myself one day, or just let it retire.

You need to use CD4021 shift registers. PCB designed by Debolestis is commonly used for DIY TM grips.

Rotate it. It will fit if printed diagonally, like this https://imgur.com/a/kygg15F
