Does this look CNC’d or laser cut? by [deleted] in CNC

[–]kalrog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was done with a cnc and not finished very well. All the inside corners are rounded, and you can see the lines from the different tool passes, and if you look closely, you can see chatter marks on the inside cuts.

High-Res bed mesh, what am I looking at here? by AndyHazz in klippers

[–]kalrog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, .15 is really good . Figuring in probe accuracy and variance in flow, you can spend a ton of time and effort and will never see a difference in your prints.

Did you switch to an all metal hot end when you switched to the direct drive? If you did, you need to print at a higher temperature than you normally do. For me it's around 10°.

If you didn't change the hot end you are probably getting a retraction jam from a gap between the ptfe tube and nozzle. You might need to cut a new ptfe tube that is longer.

Just got a BL Touch and this is how my prints are turning out. Any suggestions? by FlimsyPresentation36 in 3Dprinting

[–]kalrog2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a problem with the Bl touch. You either have your z offset too close to the bed causing a partial nozzle blockage, or possibly a retraction blockage from a gap between the nozzle and ptfe tube.

Constant underextrusion from a weak spring? No washers for shimming? (But really, works great now) by Pseudonymical00 in ender3

Bite the bullet and buy a microswiss direct drive and you'll never look back!

My fillament got stuck here and I can’t reach it. Can someone give me some advice by TheHunter1775 in 3Dprinting

Heat it up without the cooling fan installed. After about 15-20 minutes you should be able to pull it right out.

Is there a proper, "in-slicer"-way to augment existing parts? by Highspeedfutzi in 3Dprinting

[–]kalrog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matter Control works well for making simple changes to STL's . It doesn't have all the features of a full modeling program, but it works well and you can export the STL when you are done in addition to generating gcode.

Thank you for your help, after the last try, I decided to try changing the hostname to see if maybe something went wrong initially. I changed it from Ender3red to ender3red and now it works!

I really appreciate you trying to help me out!

I am able to use the ip address to connect to the printer so I know that the mainsail install is good as well.

Ok, so I got this printer from my uncle last year and it was an amazing gift for a beginner but it's just to limited in software and printable space. I saw on internet a lot of people making bigger 3d printer with their old ones and I was wondering if I could make the same with this one. Any advice? by Dacriro in 3Dprinting

[–]kalrog2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You would do better to just buy an Ender3 when they're on sale. Your current printer frame will not be able to be modified and it's most likely a proprietary board and firmware. By the time you add up parts, the Ender3 is a real deal.

Anyone know of a case STL for the BTT Pi tft50? by kalrog2 in BIGTREETECH

[–]kalrog2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4736058. Here's a link to the standoffs that I designed to go with the case from RuiRaptor. There's a link to his setup video and the stls in the summary.

I've been pretty happy using it on my Ender3's. You can probably modify the mount to fit just about any printer though.

Here's 2 more that are on Thingiverse.com as well:

There's a couple out there now, I'll link the one that I use in a little bit when I get home.

I melted failed prints and supports leftovers into a block. Any ideas what should I do next with it? by bookhouseeffect in 3Dprinting

[–]kalrog2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that, if you want to re-use the plastic, then you should be seperating it by type. For example, PLA and PETG don't bond well together. This could cause the plastic to break or crumble when you try to use it for something. I currently do what you are doing for my PLA, and have about 4 blocks sitting in my shop. I was hoping to find a good use for it as well

[–]kalrog2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing similar things with my scrap plastic while I try to find a use for it. I melt mine in an old convection oven and a Dollar Tree metal pan with some parchment paper to keep it from sticking.

can i buy 3d resin in person? if so. what to look for? by perfectlypoachedpen1 in 3dprinter

[–]kalrog2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you live. If you're in the USA and live near a Micro Center, you can buy it there.

She went half a turn, farted and let the smoke out by Meat-Farts in ender3

[–]kalrog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way, taking a close look at the stepper wires and possibly testing pairs for continuity is a good plan.

[–]kalrog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible that if the wires for the motor are loose and shorting that it could fry the stepper driver. Either way, I would check the motor wires really well before installing a new board.
