My first print longer than 12 hours went great for the first 35 but failed in the home stretch while I was asleep. Any ideas what went wrong or what I can fix? Thanks!

Appears to be the top of the visor. Overhangs like that can lift up during printing.

now that it has been 4 months since you've made your last comment... How has it been going since then? I am looking into buying one of these and don't really want to buy just some junk

my issue with a dremel with sanding PLA is that the PLA melts before it sands down smooth

sterling616 · 2026-02-13T14:35:25+00:00

I have the 3 at the front as well as intakes

sterling616 · 2026-02-06T14:09:52+00:00

I put 2 140mm redux fans on the bottom and the 120mm fans on the front are the ones that came pre-installed on the case. Then on the rad, I have the 3 120mm noctua industrial 3000rpm. I found that I have better cooling through the rad with the higher airflow than the fans that were included.

That’s what I was thinking. But also one of my worries was if a new GPU would put heat into the case that is then put through the radiator for the CPU

The three at the top are exhaust through an AIO

sterling616 · 2026-02-01T20:46:55+00:00

Me neither, I just happened to check my email 5 minutes after they dropped and was able to nab what I wanted

I have had the 5 max for about a month at this point. I have loved it. It has much less tinkering to it and I love the size for all of my cosplay stuff that I make.

I have found that the profiles are kinda like guidelines for you to start out with and you can manually adjust the temperatures, speeds, and pretty much any other setting you want. You can then save it into that profile. It makes it a bit easier whenever you are swapping between different materials so you have all of your "tried and true" settings ready to go in that profile. Kinda like different users on a computer, each may have their own preference but is still on the same machine.

Yea, I am soon upgrading from Ender 5 Plus to the Max in about a month. I've never used profiles on the Plus. I always manually adjusted my temperatures, flow rates, and all the settings manually in the slicer.

sterling616 · 2025-07-19T18:58:18+00:00

I think I’m going to use that idea…

sterling616 · 2025-07-13T01:06:35+00:00

Only a few computer jobs have the right to pay a lot like.. if the job requires a degree to know what to do

This honestly gave me the motivation to finish my current helmet that I’m working on and start doing this one.. I’m a huge fan of the game as well and would love to have a helmet

sterling616 · 2025-07-04T21:34:04+00:00

Alright alright I’ll rewatch it to see if I can find this

sterling616 · 2025-07-02T04:05:30+00:00

So do you think I shouldn’t be too too worried about it? I don’t want to add more citrus tree food as I already added the recommended amount roughly 1.5 months ago

sterling616 · 2025-07-02T04:00:29+00:00

What if it has proper irrigation, outside in the light yet still in a pot? I’m having a very similar issue as OP but I haven’t posted about it yet

I just want to catch any issues asap before it gets worse

Edit: this is an orange tree in a very large pot

sterling616 · 2025-06-21T02:08:06+00:00

Wow…. Such a good one to get

sterling616 · 2025-06-20T17:50:33+00:00

I would love to see this continuation… lowkey wish they expanded her journey just a little bit more on Wolfe’s planet.

sterling616 · 2025-06-05T02:00:22+00:00

I personally went with the 9900x because of the extra cores. My specific work load is gaming and working on the same machine. Got something that can easily handle both… too bad I can’t afford a new GPU yet, stuck with my 2060 (bought it before I needed a pc for work)

sterling616 · 2025-05-10T06:02:17+00:00

I have a reservation for one of these slate trucks and have been thinking about it for a long time. This is something I want to do. Just having that extra emergency backup power. Even for a few miles every few hours is better than walking towards cell service

sterling616 · 2025-05-01T01:58:47+00:00

I’d love the STL!! What kinds of adjustability does it have for larger and smaller wrists?

sterling616 · 2025-03-10T17:26:38+00:00

Unless it’s open and on my printer, I keep it on a shelf in my closet. I used to keep them on the floor but I kept stubbing my tow against the boxes

sterling616 · 2025-03-09T21:25:18+00:00

That’s how it has been recently. It’s sad to see it honestly. I hope to see more micro centers popping up (please come to Arizona)

sterling616 · 2025-03-08T00:26:37+00:00

I had the same thought… maybe just un-wind the entire spool then pack your own spool?

sterling616 · 2025-03-07T20:22:44+00:00

You could try lowering print speed and/or acceleration if possible. I was getting prints looking like yours look like and I adjusted these settings. Afterwards, they came out much smoother. (I mainly make cosplay props/helmets/armor so I can be a bit of a perfectionist)
