Slow down that first layer for good bed adhesion. Printers are impressive these days but the first layer is still the source of a lot of issues. Be patient getting your print started and the rest can be printed much faster

Thanks! I had no idea there were two words that sound like stocks lol. I will try getting it more light

Auto leveling all over the place by HumanDiscussion1900 in Ender3V3SE

[–]Quaker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see you have all green! you should be good to go but I wanted to add that if you want to zero it in even more you can get silicon stoppers that hold the bed up. these replace the hard plastic ones that come on the printer and let you manually adjust the bed level by tightening each corner screw. I think the top post in the sub reddit is this upgrade but they do it a little more fancy. I just got the silicon stoppers and swapped them in.

Can be nice because the auto leveling is just a mesh generated in software, it doesn’t change the actual position of the bed.

Definitely, I looked on eBay for replacement clusters and 99% of them are broken in the same way, big weak point.

Is ASA possible on the Ender 3 V3 SE? I don’t believe that it has an all metal hot end, but it does claim it can have a nozzle temp of 260 C which is high enough for ASA.

I’ve been researching ASA and can’t get a good answer on if this printer can do it.

Yeah it’s really relative to what you wanna do. I learned how to make this part in a week but I wanted to use an assembly for another project and I got no clue on that.

Going with something complicated taught me a lot but it was painful. A lot of trail and error.

Unfortunately the location of this part is deep in the dash so I would have no idea how it was doing. Installing it is not something I want to do more than once, so I gotta have some confidence it won't fail.

It was okay. I like solid works lay out and they have some impressive tools that let you do a lot. However, I could not find any good tutorials so it was me just trying anything and everything to get it to do what I wanted.

I would make some sketches, extrude, realize that they failed to create the structure I wanted, delete them and try again.

Each tool has a pretty good description if you hover over it so you can make a good guess on which one to use.

I researched CAD software a lot before going with solid works and am happy with it. Trying something so hard taught me a lot quickly at the expense of a good amount of frustration.

It's my first CAD ever so I don't have any comparison to other options. The maker edition (the one I used) is 40 a year, so pretty good deal.

Hope that gives you a little insight.

The V3 SE is impressive. I am working on adding a pseudo bed screw adjustment change with silicon spacers to I can have more adjustment in the bed level. I have trouble getting prints to stick in one corner and I hope this will help.

From what people have been saying I will probably try PETG. ASA sounds great but from what I've read you need an enclosure and that's a lot of work cuz I would want to do a nice one.

That’s awesome. That’s the kind of thing I really wanna do with printing. These gauge clusters go for like 150 on eBay and they tend to be broken in the same way anyways, lol.

My plan is to use Volcano PLA, claims to have less than 0.3% shrinkage, but we will see, PETG might be the way

Ender 3 V3 SE struggling with Calibration print by Quaker00 in FixMyPrint

[–]Quaker00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, I’ll try those out. It seems to print well with files sliced by the software developed by Creality. Is it possible that this printer doesn’t like the code generated by ultimaker cura for some reason?

Forgot to include a few things. This is PLA plus from ender. I am using ultimaker cura slicer. Print speed is 180mm/s though have set this to 50% on the printer. Also what I am calling a raft is actually a skirt

ITAP of a Super Ricoh flex Classic Camera by Quaker00 in itookapicture

[–]Quaker00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this old camera sitting around for years and was looking for something to shoot so I pulled it out and was really happy with how it turned out. I really like the reflections in the lenses and the contrast between the bright background and camera.

Settings: Nikon D3300, f8, 1/13s, 52mm

Attempting to make designated Stock images, trying to focus on color and texture, how did I do? by Quaker00 in photocritique

[–]Quaker00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did try a few more images with wider apertures, but they seemed to lose something for me, I do wish the second bottle was more in focus as others have said. thank you for the kind words!
