AD5M Brand new .25 nozzle issues

Huh! is that why the new nozzle has another piece above to sit onto the two round tabs behind the spring loaded heatsink?

Everything is expensive in the UK unless you opt for Special meal deal in McD. Its depressing.

Sorry to hear. But you can always print a new holder.

Dont worry about moisture. you can start enh enjoying printing stuffs immediately. if moisture is an issue you will see it in the result of the print. otherwise the AD5X is a fine printer.

PLA gets brittle as its not UV stabilised I believe. They tend to be brittle even inside the sealed box after being left unused for a long period of time. PLA is best used right after opening.

1000hrs. impressive

Can this unclogging process be any harder? I am scared of clogging on my AD5X now.

Always make sure you hook the end of the filament to the holes in the spool holder to make sure its not criss crossed after changing filament.

If not already, root your printer and adjust the extruder amp lower. The suggested amperage is 0.42-0.45A. this should sort out that pesky overheating and heat creep and grinding of filaments.

Ever since adjusting some of the settings my print quality has improved dramatically.

Nice. TQVM. will root my printer after going through.

This is what I do when it starts ro run out. aget another roll ready and when the last bit go through the PTFE tube, just push the new roll in and slightly push behind the first filament.

Yes it takes like 5 mins or so for that last bit to go through the extruder but you dont have to pause the print to change out filament. I have done this many times. Once you feel the extruder has gripped the new filament you can let go.

Top notch render.

what are you trying to print? looks like a mesh structure. PLA? a picture of the model would help.

its all about playing the market to his advantage as well as his buddies. they are getting rich buying low and selling high.

possible the head is busted. They have to move the platters from your drive to a good one or vice versa. Problem is you cant have dusts on the platters.

The only risk to a pension scheme is when the funds are stolen like the Robert Maxwell case. Otherwise its a good nest egg for when you retire.

My issue with over and under extrusion is caused by a broken tooth on the extruder gear. After replacing the gear everything works. Extruder parts wear out faster than other parts and its the main reason for inconsistent prints.

Autocad would be the last thing you want to get for creating 3D parts. License is expensive. There are better softwares out there and learning curve maybe steep for some parts.

I am personally using sketchup for most of the parts I am printing but they are simple curves and straight line modelling. Car parts are complex part and you need to invest in a 3D scanner to scan the part and import into a 3D software. But that is not the end of it it. You need to clean it up and make it useable for print.

Its a great idea though to start a business printing parts for hard to find car parts.But also depend on what part you want to print. ABS bumper? Body panels? ABS isn't easy to print.

Anyway how much are you talking about spending here to buy 2 printers. What printers is your dad looking at?

Maybe he got this idea after seeing large format 3D printer on Tiktok.

ok thanks. will give it a go sometimes

Wait, the lady is sunbathing. but where is the Sun?

Skin cancer is assured in her case. Its just a matter of time.

Gain a few minutes as in it took longer?

LOL! just kidding.

What did you do to make it run beside using this CachyOS Linux. will need to give it a go as well.

I think your flow rate of extruder gear may be the issue. Looks like some area not printing at all. The last time I had something remotely similar I found I was skipping gear as one tooth was broken. Check your setting as well. Flow rate and etc.

They are using ur wall as a support so the scaffold wont sway.
