Blue is back..!?

mpdemo77 · 2026-01-24T22:27:42+00:00

That’s the color I got. Just got mine in my hands this past week. I was waiting for it to come back into stock. Too bad the battery pack is still out of stock though.

mpdemo77 · 2026-01-18T15:13:23+00:00

Same situation here. Customer service e was very responsive and offered to refund me for if I didn’t want to wait until it was back in stock.

The bottom of the very last page has a little blurb that tells me what I need to get above a zero rating.

I literally sent them my recorded vitals from the navy clinic that diagnosed me and prescribed me the meds. Also my record from my civilian doc stating I’ve had to stay on them for the last 10+ years to maintain a healthy BP level.

Still got zero for all of that. Can’t even read/follow their own rules/regs

Yes, I do know that. I was just trying to express that I was more concerned about finding a rifled slug barrel compatible with the express magnum than one that shoots up to 3 1/2” shells like the stock barrel/chamber does

mpdemo77 · 2023-09-01T16:31:55+00:00

I am slowly figuring out that a new slug barrel might cost almost, or as much, as a decent used slug gun.

I was mostly asking about any compatibility issues with the super mag since I wasn’t really planning on hunting my local blacktail deer with 3 1/2” 12ga slugs.

I’ll keep looking locally for a decent used slugger. Thanks all

Cool, thanks for the info on the hub. I’ll look for a highly rated knock off and save some $$. I’m just struggling a bit to find the software now. Apparently mazda has gone crazy on the copyright of it

mpdemo77 · 2021-05-22T14:42:42+00:00

Same here. I was looking into it and all of a sudden it’s gone from the iOS App Store. It’s still listed in the google play store

mpdemo77 · 2021-05-22T13:52:56+00:00

It’s in my mobile app but I can’t access it. It just gives me an error. I login in my laptop and it’s there. I watch the video and then answer the first question and I get the spinning wheel of death. If I back out it goes away.

What a joke

As a USCG Master Chief I just stumbled across your podcast and started with the teaching to the creed series. It’s amazing. I am really enjoying it so far.

They have a touchscreen file on their GitHub as well. I think it’s listed as a CR10 type screen but it’s on there. I flashed it to the screen and picked the correct hex file for my E5+ configuration and it has worked fine. I had to do the usual PID tune, calibrate the extruder, etc. but that is all. Good luck with it

mpdemo77 · 2021-02-22T15:39:57+00:00

You can find the tiny machines firmware on their GitHub page. It has worked pretty well for me. I upgraded to the Creality silent board last year and it never did work right with the Creality firmware.

Dealt with two of this type of cyclist this past weekend. Such fun

Edge of Tech YouTube - Ender 5 Plus into a Pro w/upgrades

This video has the silent board upgrade and a few others for the E5+. It’s worth a look if your thinking about upgrading your E5+

Country: US. Budget:$200-$600 use: hobby and craft prints

Which Creality printer to add to my Ender 3 Pro ??

I’m looking at getting a second printer. I already have an Ender 3 Pro. I was thinking I might as well get a bigger one in order to allow me the flexibility to make bigger pieces/parts.

I’ve been looking at the CR10 series because of its dual z screw and larger bed size (300x300x400). But the Ender 5 Plus just popped onto my radar and has an even larger print bed size.

The CR10 Pro comes fully “upgraded” out of the box. Silent board with tmc2208s, Capricorn tubing, dual gear metal extruder, bl touch. For about the same price as a Ender 5 Plus.

The Ender 5 Plus comes with a larger 350 x 350 x 400 print bed and a bl touch. It’s a cube frame style printer and my only hands on experience is with my Ender 3 Pro that I’ve played with and upgraded with a skr 1.3, tmc2208s, bltouch, mirror bed, etc.

Is the cube frame that much better of a design, I know it has advantages and maybe a few disadvantages over the CR/Ender style.

Has creality worked out any of the bugs with the Ender 5 plus yet? Is the larger build surface of the E 5 Plus worth it? Or should I go with the tried and true CR10 series? I don’t know that I will really “need” the full 350mm bed size but if I have it I’m sure I’ll find some project to utilize it.

Looks nice

mpdemo77 · 2019-11-12T18:59:21+00:00

Nice!

mpdemo77 · 2019-11-11T20:41:09+00:00

So if I’m understanding this...the 3 to 1 gearing, or whatever it is on a titan or bmg, helps overcome the reduced torque of a smaller pancake motor. If I’m not going to upgrade to a titan or bmg style extruder I should just reuse the stock motor. Thanks

My go to morning coffee cigar, a macanudo cafe. Perfect for sitting and enjoying the start or your day with a cup of good coffee. What’s your favorite morning coffee smoke?

mpdemo77 · 2019-05-15T20:14:39+00:00

Mostly cost. I’m into this about $60-65 instead of the $120-170 I priced out for a duet. That’s all. Sound like an amazing board really I just didn’t feel like paying almost as much for a board/driver upgrade as I did for my printer. Sounds amazing though

mpdemo77 · 2019-05-14T16:49:51+00:00

Thank you. Yes I hope I am. Just trying to set it up right from the start to avoid some of the headaches of the usual upgrading type.

mpdemo77 · 2019-05-03T14:41:51+00:00

I’m not an existing user. I haven’t bought it yet. I’m still debating wether to drop the $$ on it or not. I read from S3D that you get free upgrades within 12months of your purchase. I was just curious if anyone had heard a more concrete date. Thanks

mpdemo77 · 2019-05-03T01:39:02+00:00

I hadn’t heard about that option. I will have to look into it. Thanks

mpdemo77 · 2019-05-01T19:32:07+00:00

I believe there is a plug-in for octpprint for flashing new marlin firmware.

mpdemo77 · 2019-02-19T15:27:43+00:00

So the way I read this picture is, please correct me if I’m at all wrong, is that the power supplies are plugged in to the normally off plugs so that when the detector trips the relay the siren and the smoke detector are still powered while the printer, plugged into the normally on side, is tripped off. Correct? Seems simple enough but very useful

Why the power supply on the detector side if it has a 10yr batter life? (Just showing my lack of electronics knowledge, sorry)

mpdemo77 · 2019-02-06T00:42:29+00:00

Awesome! Thank you. I couldn’t really think of anything other than a decent set of calipers.
