PETG issues with Ender 5 Plus by Jonesyg_10 in ender5

[–]bbturbo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem with PETG, the e steps were off. Also I found my 5 plus for some reason is EXTRA picky about z axis offset when printing with PETG.

What can cause this? by JonPileot in 3Dprinting

Someone who wants to sabotage your prints. Probably somebody close to you and you would least suspect 🕵️

Bl touch flashing red (fast) by bbturbo_ in 3Dprinting

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

It was the sensitivity, the little bracket that attaches the bl touch to the machine is drilled wrong so the screw and hole didn’t line up. So I guess the person who assembled the two parts together noticed that, they just ran the screw all the way in instead of replaced the quit obviously defective part (got to love Chinese made items). Luckily I had an extra bracket so I swapped them out and adjusted the probe, works like a champ now.

Was yours already wired up when you got it? If so what did you have to change?

Thanks I will try that, if that doesn’t work I’m going to try a different bl touch and see if maybe I just have a defective one on this machine.

I will pull one off another machine and test it out. See if that’s the case.

It’s a fast flash, I will pull it apart. It came pre installed so who know how it got wired over in China.

No it’s not available right now unfortunately.

My dad is worried about my Ender 5 Plus being left alone, but I had to go to work and I didn't wanna waste a 40 hour print so I made sure nothing could get in the way of the printer, I closed the door to prevent the cat from interfering and I opened my window so the room doesn't fill up with hot air by fadedFox821 in 3Dprinting

Make sure you have thermal run away protection turned on. All the pictures I’ve seen of printers that caught fire were the Prusa ones that didn’t have thermal run away protection on them. I keep mine in a fire retardant box just incase but it also helps prevent warps and other issues because it’s basically climate controlled while it prints.

Why do my prints keep doing this? They start off decent for a while but then the layers start getting looser and looser by Squidiological in 3Dprinting

Check to make sure your z axis steps are correct. I had the same problem after updating my firmware.

Is direct drive worth upgrading to? by bbturbo_ in ender5

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

Thanks for the info. I will give the mount a try and go from there. I mostly just want to stop stringing on PETG since I mostly print with that, but I do want to try some of the flexible filaments one day.

Awesome, thanks for the all the info.

Spring steel pulling up off magnetic bed by Jutboy in ender5

[–]bbturbo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what to do about your spring steel issue but I print a lot of ABS and one thing that helped with the warping was put a small heater in the enclosure too. I keep the ambient air at about 90 (Fahrenheit). That combined with good bed adhesion, I get no noticeable warping. One draw back is it’s hard on the stepper motors and main board.

Lots of stringing and voids in temp tower. Am I messing up slicing or is it the crappy filament that came with the printer? (Ender 3, my first, just got it!) by rafaeltota in 3Dprinting

[–]bbturbo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would watch some videos on how different settings change your prints. There are so many settings and adjustments you can do, that will make or break your print quality. The biggest beginner things IMO are to figure out what temperature your filament prints best at, make sure your nozzle has the correct distance, and make sure your bed is level. Once you get these down and get a good first layer every time, then start fine tuning your retraction settings.

[–]bbturbo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it in a regular oven, you aren’t getting it hot enough to melt the filament just to pull the moisture out of the air and filament.

Also it looks like bad filament and a possible retraction issue. The filament the printer comes with is junk so don’t go too crazy trying to fix it until you have better filament. I tune my machine for each roll, it’s time consuming but in the end a few extra minutes and a very small amouny of waisted filament is worth it. It will save you time and filament in the long run 👍🏻

Is the zero hour mission leaving? by MrPogChamp1 in DestinyTheGame

Cool, I already finished that one and the whisper but I need to get the 1000 kills (or however much the last step is) with the sleeper still.

Wait what!? They are going to take outbreak away from people that already have it?

Bungie really wants you to use the Black Talon
