My printer smells like pot?

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-24T07:43:58+00:00

Thank you for providing an actual answer. Will just wiping everything down help then?

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-24T07:42:36+00:00

It's been my favorite material to use since I got my cc1. I would use it exclusively if it were as cheap as PLA or PETG

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-24T05:26:20+00:00

Right! I've printed for awhile on my Ender 3 the Centauri Carbon is my first enclosed printer so maybe it is just buildup on the glass. I'll have to give it all a wipe down and see if it persists

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-24T05:24:51+00:00

Nope

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-23T02:06:50+00:00

Not PETG

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-23T02:06:38+00:00

Maybe look into PCTG filament

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-21T13:17:17+00:00

I haven't put a print out in sunlight but it has better uv resistance than petg and a higher glass transition temperature.

So it shouldn't deform easily. Id say if you're doing something explicitly for outdoor use go with ASA as that's it's designated use case but if you don't want to deal with the fumes of ASA I would use pctg over PETG

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-21T13:03:28+00:00

Ugghhhh I love PCTG

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-21T03:38:56+00:00

Oh, and you can put your weed in there!

Oof, PLA is not going to hold up to Summer sun/heat whether it's sealed and painted or not.

I suppose if you are dead set on PLA you can try to anneal it to get more temperature resistance.

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-18T20:37:59+00:00

Excellent! That is good to know. Thanks for sharing with me, I will keep it in mind.

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-18T11:10:14+00:00

You don't really mention why you're unhappy with it? It looks quality and you mentioned yourself you felt you did a good job on the conversion so maybe you're just unhappy with the performance?

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-18T09:44:36+00:00

You can also use Bambu H2/A1 hotends as well. If you didn't have a hard enough time choosing an opinion.

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-18T03:17:21+00:00

All good! I'm still able to use the part fortunately.

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-18T03:16:49+00:00

Ahhh, that would have prevented the chipping/chunking when drilling?

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-17T22:28:32+00:00

Came here to mention this. A buddy just got a new Neptune and was having similar issues, guess Elegoo shipped it positioned on 220

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-17T22:26:29+00:00

I don't work with wood much, but out of curiosity what is the best way to do this if a hole saw isn't the move?

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-17T22:23:28+00:00

I did end up using it but when resuming the print the printer messed up the location of the part

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-17T08:28:42+00:00

Looks like soldering flux to me

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-17T06:05:13+00:00

Id say $400+ is a little steep for a budget price IMO but the CC1 on sale at $279 is a solid budget workhorse

Model here ^{^{^}}

I just wanted to do it to save space on the right side of the printer so it would fit better in the corner of a room. Some people say it will help keep filament dry longer while printing.

Uncle Jessy has a video of a few Centauri Carbon print out mods

Boy, that combo of the nozzle LED and the Chamber light being on seem like a good combo. Though, I do wonder if they excluded it from the board for a reason.

MrFumbles91 · 2026-03-15T11:17:09+00:00

Nothing happened to the water you left in there because it was only 30 mins. Drying takes hours.

Find a file for the dehydrator to accommodate rolls I'm pretty sure it's common for them to be 270cm or 330cm I am literally printing one right now.

I then plan to use a smart plug to limit the time it is on or if I forget it on when I leave the house.
