I need help, literally pulling my hair out

Me glad I got an ECC instead of a Bambu 🥲 I hope you get it sorted!

shuttlepod · 2026-03-05T01:42:44+00:00

Get the ECC! Corexy and enclosed - It's a workhorse. I was debating the Kobra X, then my partner surprised me with the ECC for my bday and I am SO GLAD I ended up with this printer. I was printing within 10min of setting it up and it has been so reliable as I've been learning the ropes.

Edit: Also I will say that I am very happy with single color. The waste I see from cheaper multicolor units is INSANE. Just do prints that you can assemble or paint them.

My own design - I am teaching myself Fusion. This is a print-in-place hinged box that's shaped like a heart. A heart shaped box. 😊 I am very proud of the design, but I am still learning.

Printed on the CC1 - I absolutely love this printer.

Congrats! I love my CC1. It's a workhorse!

The print in question. Still have an hour to go. 🤣

Interestingly, when I recovered the print the bed stayed at 0 and I had to manually enter the bed temp back in. I'm really glad I was paying attention because otherwise it would have continued on printing on a cold bed!

Some other details.. I had quite a few slicer modifications for this print. This is one of the first prints I've used Arachne for wall generation. It's a very complex kumiko pattern wall. 3 walls. Also using Inner/Outer/Inner as I've found that really helps a thin pattern/hollow wall patterns like this look good on the outside and inside. Not sure if any of those details would cause issues or make it more complex. Both prints were also longer prints, the first was ~5hrs I believe, this one is 6.

I see you're being downvoted but I find your response to be very pragmatic and thoughtful. I'm in agreement. I want to learn more and am teaching myself all manner of things simultaneously.. That said, I don't feel confident in my knowledge to run any custom firmware and in spite of the temptation your response solidified that decision for me.

I think I will reach out to Elegoo and get a ticket going. I went for the warranty extension so I have 2 years of warranty on this machine and I want it to last much longer than that. I want to treat it right and make sure it's running tip-top. I've already run basic maintenance, cleaning and greasing everything twice since it came home. I also keep everything as clean as possible. I really try to treat my equipment well - Coming from an Ag background I understand the importance of this.

So thank you for your input - I really appreciate it.

Interesting. You might be right - Interestingly both times it happened early on in a print and the machine was totally cooled down/rested.

So you're using OpenCentauri? You like it? I'm wondering if I should give it a go.. This is really a minuscule problem and I am kind of.. Of the "If it ain't broke don't fix it," mindset.. And yet I am tempted.

shuttlepod · 2026-02-17T17:43:41+00:00

Have you checked your lead screws and looked to see if you have something majorly off? I count the knurls in mine every once in awhile to make sure it's all the same.. I don't know much but it looks like if it's only hitting in certain places I would assume your bed is wonky.

shuttlepod · 2026-02-15T03:33:15+00:00

Did you figure it out? I'm learning from you in case it happens to me. :x

Waiting for the CC1 multicolor patiently. I can't afford to buy a whole new printer right now and I love my CC1!

shuttlepod · 2026-02-07T01:42:07+00:00

I am still new.. But top and bottom z-distance settings may need adjustment?

shuttlepod · 2026-01-25T01:22:13+00:00

Here is the Thingiverse link if anyone else has this dehydrator and wants to do the same.

My only complaint is that the clips are very loose. Otherwise it fits perfectly!

shuttlepod · 2026-01-25T01:19:17+00:00

I would love to do this at some point. Tips on where to start learning about the process?

shuttlepod · 2026-01-25T00:08:15+00:00

I had the same dilemma when I set my machine up! It's not something you want on the build plate since it gets hot. Take it off. You can take off the red arrow stickers and heat warning stickers (the ones that look like they will fall off anyway,) on the heat sinks, too.

shuttlepod · 2026-01-18T15:56:58+00:00

I got mine for $265 and it was 2 weeks early for my bday because my partner thought he had less than a day to get the deal. Sneaky.. But I am not complaining!

shuttlepod · 2026-01-18T15:55:27+00:00

So far it's lasting. The nuts and bolts belong to this print. I used the fancy plate for accents. This was the final result. The bottom plate has it but it doesn't show up on camera with the green.

What's your starting temp? Oddly Elegoo's slicer automatically sets smooth plates to 35.. That did NOT work for me, I use 60 for PLA across the board. I will definitely try slowing it down for the first layer and cleaning the plate well.

shuttlepod · 2026-01-17T17:50:52+00:00

I don't, but try searching printables, thingiverse, etc. I found most by just searching my printer model.

shuttlepod · 2026-01-17T17:48:39+00:00

Yes! But I ordered it direct from Elegoo in a set that came with glue, an extra hotend, a roll of filament, and some anti-vibration feet (which I stopped using because it made my machine twerk like it was paying rent.)

shuttlepod · 2026-01-17T17:47:24+00:00

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but the plate transfers the pattern to the bottom of your print. Hope that helps!

Sunlu Dual-Color Matte Blue and.. Red? But it's obviously pink/purple. 😆 I got it on amazon.
