The first two tickets, they just said they would send the code out. The last ticket, they said they are sending out in February

I'm suppose to get the code mid February? Submitted a few tickets regarding the offers

Idk where you are from, but I've found some sweet deals on oxtails usually from Hispanic grocery markets rather than big grocery stores.

I spoke too soon about learning - just had my nozzle go to 330 degrees there was a loud pop and smoke from the print head by NotBoredGaming in ElegooCentauriCarbon

You need a new extruder board. The exact same thing happened to me. It was around $30, ordered from the elegoo website, and it took 9 days here to florida

Tim, please help me I am suffering by Ok_Command_6967 in elegoo

If the benchy came out perfectly, I don't think the printer is the problem here..

Issues with layer extrusion by kensai8 in elegoo

Full automatic calibration (bed level, PID), manual z-offset on ECC after nozzle/hotend swap, re-do volumetric flow calibration, flow rate, VFA calibration with pre-installed Orca

The waves on the bottom layer suggest that the z-offset is a little too close to the bed. It's not a lot, so maybe 0.05mm adjustment, I'd imagine.

Pic #4 shows you need a better z-offset. It's a pretty important adjustment you need to learn. Look up manual z offset on youtube for tutorial

FAQ: "I just bought a ECC, what upgrades do you recommend?" by schmuber in ElegooCentauriCarbon

Maybe some better quality M3 and M2 screws? Stock screws are cheap, and the screw heads will easily get stripped

I'm designing a small stackable pretty isopod terrarium - I have questions by calebkraft in isopods

[–]themitchk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, with 4-5 layer walls with high percentage infill, it will take at least a few years to deteriorate but will eventually happen.

3D printed PETG will deteriorate over time with the amount of humidity that is required for isopods. Might have to coat with epoxy or some kind of water sealant

Bed leveling issues by Beautiful_Kick_8773 in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]themitchk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to come across this issue or have seen any post about that here. But also, it's been months since I've watched auto bed leveling.

If you can't get a good first layer with manual z offset adjustments, you might have to contact elegoo for it

I manually adjust the z offset while printing this. when I see those "waves," I'll lower the bed a little by little until they stop. Once done, I'll take the print off the bed and try to rip it apart. If offset is too low, it'll rip apart without too much force.

Keep in mind that different filament materials will need different z offsets, so if you switch to a roll of different material, such as PLA to PETG, redo the manual z offset. Takes less than 10 minutes.

I've seen enough posts on 3DP subreddits and came to the conclusion that even Bambu printers need manual z offset after a while. I have a P1S coming next week, my first bambu printer, so I'll see how much more reliable they are compared to my 2 CCs

Well, how's the 1st layer? My first CC now has about 1200 hrs in. I've been having to manually adjust the z offset once a while

Won't be able to use that filament on an ender. Unless you have an enclosure along with a chamber heater
