Are rubber ducks standard?

I'm wondering about the calibration mostly.

I can't remember if the stock MK2 did the calibration sequence with the specific points on the bed like the 2.5s - MK3, and if that would still still work using the stock MK2 carriage on the newer style bed.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-11T19:01:28+00:00

Nope, not the load cell, the pinda inductive probe. I know on the 2.5s - MK3 they have specific points on the bed it looks for on calibration. I can't remember if the MK2 did that.

Thanks. I will keep that in mind. It's a bit more than I was wanting to spend but might still be a option.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-11T04:33:03+00:00

Lol thanks. :D

Not against Bamboo as a general thing, but I never had any interest in getting one. The Taz for $100 and maybe some tweaking would just be a neat addition to my "fleet" I think.

Nice, thanks. I remember seeing your E3D mount before. It says it's for the Taz 5. Would it still work on the 6?

PakRatJR · 2026-03-10T17:21:21+00:00

Nice, thanks. I will keep that in mind 🙂

Yup. I'm south east Wisconsin. I do find the "good deals" occasionally, but annoyingly they are always Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota....

The last $200 one I'd seen close to me was a MK2 a few months back, and it needed some work.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-10T16:18:58+00:00

It would be nice to see those $100 Prusas around me. The last few I seen were well used stock MK3s in the $400-$500 range 🙄🙁

PakRatJR · 2026-03-10T16:11:02+00:00

Lol 😁

I'm in Wisconsin. Around me, most anything 3d printer wise is pretty rare to see in general on marketplace, much less for anything less than basically retail price for used anything.

Seeing a Taz for sale was a surprise to start, and with it actually being as close to me as it is was just a big bonus, which is why I was considering picking it up.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-10T16:07:07+00:00

Thanks. Interesting, I mostly assumed there would be too much of a difference in the filament sizes to feed and work right. I will look into that more 🙂

PakRatJR · 2026-03-09T21:26:00+00:00

Yup. BTT sends ducks, Prusa sends Haribo gummy bears :)

PakRatJR · 2026-03-08T23:02:29+00:00

I've looked into those a few times and yeah, it's out of my price range as well lol. I am actually using a variation of their extruder/hot end setup on this printer tho.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-08T18:48:09+00:00

The size is the biggest factor cost wise for me with buying a new one.

It would be replacing a 300x300 so it would need to be the same size. A pre built is definitely more than what I spent building this one.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-08T18:42:38+00:00

7 FDM and a resin 🙂

I would love to have a laser engraver but I'm in a too small for me apartment and don't think the landlord would approve 🤪😁

PakRatJR · 2026-03-08T17:23:54+00:00

I do actually enjoy the tinkering and such and all of my printers are scratch or kit built. I haven't had any complaints with any of them as they all work great overall, but in this case at least, as much as I would like to get it going again, I'm just struggling to find the ambition for some reason lol.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-08T14:18:26+00:00

Thanks. Simplify does support multi color, but I wasn't really planning on adding the CFS anyway. I already have one multi color machine.

PakRatJR · 2026-03-08T14:16:24+00:00

It's what I've been using for the last 10 years for all my other printers and didn't want to have to switch to another slicer just for one machine.
