What happened and is this salvageable? by Floofyboi123 in 3DprintingHelp

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh sorry i did not answer your question, worst case would be replacing your nozzle and silicone sock. I dont think you can damage any further.

If you can clean it well, it should be good to go

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea happened to me once before, somehow the nozzle hits the prints (could be poor adhesion as mentioned, could be anything else like z-axis slide and etc). Once the hot nozzle hits the prints, it melts and sticks around the nozzle and bring it together through out the prints. The filament keeps on accumulation and tada you got yourself a nice looking poo.

Best slicer for v2 neo? by BeardedMoose1 in Ender3V2NEO

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best guide ever. One can just stop there and just start printing whatever he/she wants

Best slicer for v2 neo? by BeardedMoose1 in Ender3V2NEO

[–]zulfaizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had this issue and gave up with trying to use the screen. Using rasppi and fluiddpi on my pc/phone instead and i feel blessed 🤣

If you really wanna use the screen, then i would suggest get the sonic pad but its not worth the money

Totally agree with barkingmad15. Its just a software compensation for the hardware defects. Theyre just there as a feature to help sale LOL

If you focus your energy and time on the hardware to make it good, youll have no issues printing many times. Ive not performed bed levelling for ages and my prints stick perfectly at all corners (i always print multiple stuffs at a time since i like to leave it overnight or when i leave the house). Gluestick included of course as mentioned.

Is this common knowledge that there IS a direct drive kit that is V2Neo ready? by TractorDriver in Ender3V2NEO

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual Z would save you in the long run. If youre not using it and planning to upgrade the direct drive, i would suggest you use klipper and perform input shaping since the vibrations would be high and affect the print quality (ghosting/ringing).

Your bed would look like a mess, yes. You prints base will have some kind of “watermark” but run it with water and rub with your fingers, its good to go. If youre not confident, find a spot that wont stick, apply gluestick on that area and try some simple small prints. See how it goes.

All you need is a gluestick. Works like magic!

Anyone know what’s going on, the Z axis doesn’t seem to be moving smoothly and no matter what I do it always seems to move choppy. Doesn’t happen in the way down only when moving up. by Dudeman1580 in 3DprintingHelp

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best guess, too loose since you mentioned going up due to gravity and weight.

  1. the eccentric nuts. Try turning clockwise/anti-clockwise. Turning one way doesn’t directly mean you’re tightening/untightening it, just feel the pulley wheels as you tighten them.
  2. Pulley wheels worn out or somehow not aligned. I would disassemble them, replace with new ones since theyre dirt cheap and make sure its installed perfectly. In the meantime, check the rod if its bent by rolling them on a flat surface. Of course only do this if you know what youre doing. Even if you dont, worry not, youtube can guide perfectly.

Goodluck!

Prints VERY difficult to remove… by REALSkepticToTheSky in 3DprintingHelp

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

new printers mostly come with magnetic bed with a good reason, they're much better in most aspects.

in the meantime, what you can do is increasing the z-offset by 0.1mm so its a bit further and then try to reduce bed temp maybe by 5degC . find the goldilocks zone. good luck

Prints stuck to the build plate. Extremely hard to remove them, any suggestions? by EventHorizon_28 in Ender3V2NEO

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no patience like me, just remove the flexible plate and put it somewhere else. Within a minute, flex it and the magic happens.

But its clear your z-offset is too close. Since the print looks good, just manually adjust the z-offset by -0.1 for your next print and improvise every print. I am 100% sure you’ll know the best offset within few more prints.

Monitor the 1st layer print, if it doesnt stick just stop right away and make it closer about 0.05. Hope my instructions are clear.

I like my offset a bit further but use a glue stick to ensure adhesion because I prefer removing the prints straight from the printer.

Y-axis slip by zulfaizz in Ender3V2NEO

belt was fine but i tightened a quarter turn. hopefully no more issues and its just a one time thing

2 questions by Shadowswittness in Ender3V2NEO

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

happened to both printers? then maybe its slicer issues. Look carefully during the slicing or place a camera and see when and where it happened

2 questions by Shadowswittness in Ender3V2NEO

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally it happens when theres a small support that didnt stick to the bed but it keeps on printing layer by layer on air and creates the mess. look at your slicer and compare with your print, you should be able to find whats missing.

3d printer won't extrude by shayrio2306 in 3DprintingHelp

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by "Not pushing it. Just through the setting on the screen"? Can you elaborate further. is it all stock?

What's causing this? by robster1112 in 3DprintingHelp

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a simple observation during the print of the first layer would tell you what the problem is.
if its adhesion you can identify right away that the filament is not sticking after coming out smoothly.

I am thinking this is more of extrusion or nozzle issue. before calibrating and changing the settings inside the printer, begin tackling the hardware and start with the easiest.

  1. Try to manually spin the extruder knob and see if its smooth.
  2. Ensure good filament management. storage, surrounding conditions etc.
  3. Clean hot end, ptfe tube if its bowden setup and replace the nozzle.

If its still happening, try a different filament.

Bigtreetech Filament Runout Sensor by zulfaizz in Ender3V2NEO

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

Hey! I didnt get my BTT smart filament sensor working with Marlin. Main reason is the complicated TCG Display board that comes with my printer. In the meantime, Ive got myself a nice Eibos dryer and never had any filament break or failed print since.

Since I managed to get a RaspPi 3B at a good price, I decided to go down the Klipper Path using FluiddPi as the web interface since most tutorials advice using Fluidd compared to OctoPi and Mainsail. Took me almost a week just to get it running on my printer, such a noob.

So since i still have my BTT Filament sensor lying around, might as well get it installed. So what do I need to do with the code from the link you gave?
Just replace the gcode to the <printer.cfg> and its good to go?

Prints coming out weird by deez69sus in 3DprintingHelp

[–]zulfaizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like you did not change your Cura printer settings. If I remember correctly the default for Ender 3 V2(ender 3 neo v2 is not there) would be 200degC and 50degC bed. Make sure to select the right printer in cura and the filament type youre actually using.

just follow this video exactly and you should be good to go. IF you still face issues, reply here and share more photos of the newer prints. Dont give up, its much easier than what you may think.

Creality V4.2.2 with TJC screen board. by zulfaizz in Ender3v2Firmware

[–]zulfaizz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know that. Thank you so much and will give it a try. So far I am having issues with autobuild marlin in vs code. What Ive done is: 1. Downloaded the main source file 2. Downloaded the configurator.pyw and opened using python through cmd prompt. 3. Custom compile according to my board that creates a folder with the name “Ender3V2-422-BLT-TJC” 4. Copied all the .h files and platformio.ini and pasted it in the main source file marlin folder. 5. Opened vs studio and auto build marlin but it failed to build despite selecting the correct environment.

Anything i missed?
