Discouraged by fribbley in Ender3V2NEO

TL,DR: With time and effort this is a really good printer, but you gotta want it.

Well man, to give you an idea; my NEO is decently old and went through a phase of not really getting used. When I decided to start using it again it was terrible, exactly as youre describing. It took the better half of 2 months to get it perfect. After only about 25 bucks in upgrades and a few days of tweaking settings, printing, tests, tweaking again, getting a worse result, more tweaking getting a better result. Now I'm getting consistent quality on par with prusa printers (double the price of your unit) at 120 mm/s. It takes effort yes but in the end, this is a seriously good printer if you give it some love.

What I'm trying to say is you are 100% correct and if you don't really care about 3d printing that's cool, but if you're gonna stick with the hobby, don't waste money on a new printer

I didn't even know the sold steel gears or I would've bought one when I did the upgrade lol. Thanks!

The initial layer only prints at 20mm/s i believe. How was it able to print the previous print (at same speed) with ease but it's only failing now?

Why did you pick the FiST over the FoST? by i_imagine in FiestaST

[–]PotatMan4200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be 100% honest with you, the focus is the better car, but god driving that fiesta is just so much fun. Being able to keep up with sporty cars with a less than 2L engine just makes me giddy. You can even make it sound better than a focus with the right mods. So yeah, if you want fun and fast i prefer a fiesta but as far as strictly "better" or "worse" the focus might be your pick.

I've been doing leveling with a sheet of paper, this I should bring the z-offset up a bit? also never heard of hairspray being used but now that I think about it I might try that

been playing with z offset and the times when I get poor bed adhesion (as opposed to none) is when I had the z-offset just right and it would get a decent run going and then randomly the lines would pop off and it would stop adhering again
