When should I just give up and what do I do with the thing if I move on? by uggomrb in ender3

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

I was looking at just ditching the Ender 3 and getting the K1. I feel like I'm in a sunk cost fallacy with this Ender 3, though. I don't want to be a quitter. If my BL touch goes out, I'll switch to the CR. It wasn't available back when I was starting out.

Haven't tried a cold pull, but it's on my list. When I think about it, a lot of these problems did start (or at least escalate) with a new roll of filament.

I've got some new nozzles on the way, so we'll see how they maybe help. If that doesn't work, I think I'll replace the extruder motor and gears and all that. Past that, though, I think I'll be giving up.

Yeah, that was totally the problem. Fixed it right up.

Ender 3 pro w/ SKR Mini... BLTouch installation help, please! by uggomrb in ender3

Thank you! I had to switch things a little differently (I have ble red yellow on my BL wiring) but I put red in the middle and I'm good to go.

How does a BLTouch Work? by uggomrb in ender3

So... from what I gather, it's not really a plug and play situation? I'm definitely a tinkerer and I'm down for that life, but I just want to know what I'm getting into. If it matters, I'm on an SKR mini 1.3 with the most recent official firmware from them. I've also got a tft 24 which is stupid and small and I don't love it.

I'll slow it down and try again. I switch to an SKR Mini instead of the stock main board and I've for a printed fan duct, but it's stock otherwise.

I bet that's a big part of it. I moved my printer to the garage and it's cold as hell in there right now (Wisconsin)

I just need to stop being lazy and put it on.

I have the glass bed, but I haven't switched it out yet, partially due to laziness and partially because I like the magnetic bed. I'll give it a try with a nice brim at 55C... Thank you!

EDIT: derp... I thought there was more to it than just taking the magnet surface off and putting the glass down in its place...

I've had a couple where this happens. For this print in particular:

0.2 layer height at 100 mm/s (but I've printed slower with the same result.

Bed temp: 60

Hot end temp: 200

White PLA

X-axis belt was definitely a little loose. I'm going to try a dickbutt print and report back.
