Hi guys, I’m pretty new to the 3D-Printing space and I was looking at getting a FDM 3D printer mainly for printing miniatures due to space issues with resin printers. I managed to find a secondhand Prusa MK3S+ that is basically new at around the same price as a new Neptune 4 Pro. I’m quite torn bet…

Feel bad I’ve hijacked this post. Hopefully @Bolshaq isn’t turned off and has gleaned some useful information. These forums really are great way to broaden your mind. I miss the tech support days you talk about. Out of curiosity, can you mention who you used to work for? I wonder if they’ve moved t…

I worked for a small family owned company called Dinosaur Electronics. I converted a church into their new office building for them and other construction projects. My hobby was computers. They had an NT Server crash on their accounting network. I fixed it. They hired me to build their catalog and w…

Some of the newer RVs are like spaceships in their complexity. I thrive on that kind of troubleshooting. Very few are built clean and organized though. Even the higher dollar stuff. Man do I have some stories there.

Regardless of the Printer you get, you will have a learning curve, and need to get a .2 nozzle to get good quality prints of any small size. The .4 nozzle that is standard on all these machines, will just get you a reasonable good looking mini. To get close to resin printing, you will need to decrea…

Want to say the same thing. Get the .2mm nozzle. if you want to do miniature and expect resin quality. When I got a higher quality printer at first I was disappointed, for miniatures. By decreasing printing layer height to .12mm I was somewhat satisfied with .4mm nozzle. Upgrading to .2mm nozzle g…

Hi I opted for an X1 carbon last year, and have not regretted it. I have only had one print work out badly. It was an ASA print of a long bracket, which lifted from the bed at one end. ASA is known for it. It was usable but not good enough for a customer. I have mostly been using 0.4mm and the…

I tried to print the Hydra mod for the AMS all 3 parts on one plate. Got to %75 and it toppled. Spaghetti detect is awesome! I was at the store when I got the notice. :confounded: I forgot to brim them. Weirdly one was brimmed the other 2 were not. I had used the Bambu juice on the plate. After tha…

Funny that they have used an EMI ferrite case to hold the sponge material. I am currently using 3DLAC spray as bed adhesive. It sticks really well until the build plate totally cools, then things just pop off. I have taken to giving the build plate a good scrub each month in hot water with Fairy …

It’s probably the same thing as Layerneer. Might the same as Bambu glue :man_shrugging: I love those filters. They get what looks like belly button lint on the entry side. Pick it out with tweezers and blow it off and reuse it.

3DLAC smells like hair styling spray. I am going to keep the idea of scrubbing the filament in mind, its an interesting idea. I expect passing filament through an electro-statically charger module would be a good cleaning method. Fibre re-enforced filaments are quite abrasive and also wear the in…

Unfortunately this is the business practice of all companies not just in 3d printing companies, sad!
