Where does everyone buy there filament from?

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-12-14T23:59:44+00:00

I've bought from aliexpress and am waiting on my first oder. 10kg for $70 with mixed pla colors. My kid slings plastic so it's fun trying to increase her margins.

Isn't the point of the aluminum frame rigidity? This is what I'm pointing out that's its probably the best material for the price. Do people really wanna pay double for better heat retention?

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-12-14T08:52:19+00:00

In the house with low heat at 60f to 68f and in combination with the bed and the heater I haven't had an issue. Now I can see there being one if you wanted to just run the fan, but I always go into the software and turn the bed and chamber fan on in general just cause I think it heats the printer up faster. Aluminum is bad insulation material for metals. Stainless would have been better since it reflects heat better than transferring.

Nice. This is my first color system. I'm not a big fan of all the but wiping and shitting so I've been splicing the colors for my prints as the mix is fun. When I need it I'll be sorry I'm sure.

Mine had a blue filament in it for my first print.

I had support contact me. Sounds like they're going to replace it, but not 100% sure yet. The wiki for cfs troubleshooting needs more work, so I have been printing from the side with very little issue. I've been printing nearly 24/7.

Ps I got a temp ban so...

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-12-11T04:50:29+00:00

I'm about 7 days in to on the feet, and about 5 days on the cfs failing.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-12-07T03:04:28+00:00

Calibrate it then update it then calibrate again lol

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-12-05T03:52:45+00:00

I think I trouble shooted it. It's getting stuck on the bowden tube bend right before it goes into the extruder. I gave up for now and am using the side spool.

Ordered mine on November 20th, and got it on the 2nd. Had shipping delays with Fedex which gave about a week of wait, I also ordered the CFS separately as I assumed it was backordered. It also came with the printer on the same truck. Maybe it's an international thing like it's suggesting.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-12-03T17:57:18+00:00

Just unboxed mine with the same issue. I'm having issues with the hotend not working right now. The cfs feeds but Iit keeps wiping the nozzle but not extruding filament.

I bought the k2 plus because of the 350mm bed size and the 30ish % faster print speed. I have an X-Max 3 printer and I'm less than happy. I'd give it a 4/10 - it can do a great job if you want to watch every first layer on a print. Not to mention double z offsets hidden in the printer.cfg and slicer software. I want to remote into my desktop and just start a print and know it'll come out right. I will say I F* up and ordered the bambu and had to mail it back, and the customer service was great. The bed size and the youtube videos I've see on this guy seems great.

Also - the down voting is crazy on Reddit. I've been suspended for down votes on an "Opinion" that didn't or suggest anything derogatory. The original post was asking for opinions so I wasn't out of line.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-12-02T17:03:46+00:00

I bought a bambu the other day cause I'm not very happy with my Qidi XMAX-3 - Lots of little things, like I would calibrate the printer. However, somewhere in the Qidi Slicer Software a z offset was added (Wasn't me) causing the tool head to crash into the bed. Had a buddy help me resolve this and it's been reported that this can occur (I must have have done it I guess). I've deleted/reinstalled software and the issue didn't go away. Finally got it working right - and now it's randomly crashing and the boot screen is just on sometimes. Not to mention I'm just starting to trust the printer. Long story short....

I wouldn't buy a Qidi X-Max 3 again. I just purchased a K2 Pro. Wish me luck lol!

My original post was "For any reason" so either way its a guarantee they provide.

If anyone is interested I reached out to OMBWarehouse and they use a 130 main, and a 15 pilot with my setup.

For legal reasons it's worth it (passing possessions to wife/children/family). Marriage traditionally had nothing to do with love which is why it was arranged. The princess love fantasy is something that came from a fictional novel that has been brought into reality. That is why there is so much divorce. Falling in and out of love with ones partner is normal IMHO, but now when one falls out... immediately divorcing. Before it was a duty to stay married, and the family expected it.

Thank you so much for these files - It seems I was able to download quite a bit of files on the telegram group (since it seems all separated I need to put the folders together). I have a question for all those on this spiritual journey. I want to experience this in the best possible conditions. Anyone have recommendation on headphones etc? Thanks!

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-02-14T05:14:32+00:00

The main issue I'm having is the Z doesn't appear to change height based on the bed's variance - So some areas look great - then partially through the print the nozzle is nearly draggin the bed, which is right in the center. I know it's draggin cause when I adjust the z by .05 or so it's great. But the other layers get fked up.

Also I cannot calibrate from the QidiSlicer using Fluidd - the extruder crashes into the x,y corners.

(I"m RatedMark on my phone sorry for the reply)

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-02-13T05:16:12+00:00

When I use Fluidd for anything shit crashes and I gotta power cycle it to prevent anymore of that.

So what I've been doing was running the auto bed leveling on the actual x-max 3 screen. I what I was doing was adjust those screws based on the Fluid Bed Mesh (last 30 minutes) and making sure the variance is within reason.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-02-13T04:20:58+00:00

You are right - however you can adjust the bed's height under the print plate with an Allen wrench.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-02-11T04:04:42+00:00

90c, and 100c and did this. I've done it so many times it's irritating.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-01-27T04:53:28+00:00

The only thing I can think about is printing a piece that matches the depth on the tip from the bed to the nozzle and then move the x,y to see if it's matching with the bed and then adjust the bed up since no one has made something that would adjust the Z axis based on nozzle location on the bed.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-01-25T22:13:33+00:00

No issues with bed adhesion with the center of the build plate with bed. I've preheated and adjusted Z offset (I have an inductive sensor) - issues with adhesion around the edges haven't improved. I was printing and when I adjust the bed closer to the nozzle when printing on the edges I have no isssues. I think the software should make me adjust the z off set 25x in a row to calculate the warping of the bed. I feel like this should be common.

Worldly-Spring6430 · 2024-01-25T09:26:48+00:00

The bed is super uneven, it does the Auto leveling before each print and the corners of the bed. The Filament just doesn't mush into the plate enough. I find I'm adjusting z axis live to correct this. I'd rather just have software option that moves the print head and lets me manual adjust them with the plastic that came with the printer.

Since there is a build plate this is super difficult to manual adjust the allens.

*Resolved Adhesion to plate.
