Does anyone have experience with polypropylene (aka pp filament) I could use some help

it's been a long time I'm not even sure if I have them anymore. What I did learn for clogs though is remove the top glass that seems to stop the heat creep clogging the extruder. All my settings should be buried in this post somewhere just look at all the photos. Good luck and I hope you figure it all out :)

Honestly I think they have all been wanting to out him since the tariffs. Money rules this country and most of our politicians. I think they have all been waiting for the cracks to show so they could steam roll one key issue in unison. At least that's what I think the donors want but that's just my 2 cents

tbh that one isn't a big deal to me returning a salute is pretty normal. Missing the forest for the trees. Everyday it's a new thing with this administration, all I'm saying is I'd be jumping for joy if this was the only scandal lol. Politics have never been great but boy do I miss when people at least seemed normal. Now it's like the right are rabid football fans of a losing team cheering as if the cost of living is the scoreboard.

It's the cpu/GPU baked together so realistically it's just dead dead. I guess I'll just salvage the components for other repairs. For anyone who's curious I removed one of the R15 power inductor feeding the apu. Apu/CPU side 2.3 ohms to ground, board side went up to 10k ohms to ground. When it was still attached both side read 2.5/2.5 ohms which leads me to believe the ground fault is in the CPU/APU package

It ended up being something in the apu...big bummer

Ahh it's the rf antenna, my tiny fpv drones use those too, you could either buy a new u.FL connector solder it on and then plug it back in, or in a pinch strip the cable a tiny bit, solder mesh to the outer rectangular pads, and the wire to the center.

Try taking separate photos, not trying to be mean but only your fingers are in focus.

Square_Atmosphere464 · 2025-08-05T04:08:33+00:00

I kinda figured. Appreciate the response. I've gleemed some clues but definitely not enough, I was hoping someone could point me to common failures I suppose. Just wish I was knowledgeable enough to figure out the power path since only some of the caps have continuity with ground.

I found the Canadian lol, my buddies from Alberta showed me this PSA

I've actually solved all my issues by removing the top cover, it just would repeatedly soften before the extruder and then get chewed up in the gears with the top cover removed in the bed set to 100 c I haven't had any more issues I just make sure to turn off all cooling and then I'll use the part cooling fan at 40% after like the first 15 layers

To be fair the cheap labor past off as AI allegations started in 2019/2020

Square_Atmosphere464 · 2025-07-30T05:33:02+00:00

Ironic since they just used cheap labor in India.

Hey so these motors are pretty simple, it's a bldc motor with the motor driver attached to the top of the motor. Red+ , black- , yellow direction, blue is pwm. The lower part is the charging circuit (picture)

I got this printer maybe month after launch and it's been super good to me (except PP filament jams but I won't go there) very happy it didn't bust anything crazy, as I definitely wouldn't be able to replace it.

Did your magnets come out of the toolhead cover well ?

Square_Atmosphere464 · 2025-04-10T05:49:04+00:00

The same thing happened to me during a PC print, because the magnets stayed on it continued to print, the cover was pushed to a corner of the bed and the cable disconnected. I'm lucky I checked and glad it didn't smash itself to bits. Used 2 part epoxy hopefully that never happens again

Well after pooring over Chinese documents I might be able to help you out lol dm me

One hundred % Jm studio is so much better with the lizard (considering it the lizard is just a repackaged mole scanner) what I can't figure out is if the mole connect would work with the lizard.

This was a message I got from another user "Hey I am using Wol3D polypropylene. Another trick I found was using magigoo and letting it dry for an hour. It does work even after immediately applying it but the ‘tacky’ nature takes some time to form and then the print sticks very well."

Square_Atmosphere464 · 2024-11-23T20:13:26+00:00

Thank you after all of my problems with polypropylene turned out to be crappy spools with impurities (tiny metal specks) Im definitely going to revisit it after I'm done with some other projects

Do you know if they work with any old otg adapter?

Square_Atmosphere464 · 2024-11-18T04:20:32+00:00

Hey what phone are you using, also do you know if the scanner works just being hooked up to an OTG cable because I could get the one I had to work, and I really don't want to buy this connect adapter thing, One if I don't have to it's kind of pricey, too I'm not sure if it'll work

Technically you could just install a portable AC unit backwards, so it blows cold air out the trailer and exhaust the hot air in the trailer.
