I have a box of like 100 assorted springs I got from the local hardware store. Not guaranteed to have the exact one you need, but usually has something close.
Reading through your issues, it looks like your bed was significantly warped. Manual bed leveling only really works well when the bed is flat (planar), but not yet parallel to the XY plane of the printer.
I had a similar problem with the bed of my printer (aluminum with a built-in heater), and I managed to get it pretty darn flat by carefully bending it and checking it with a straight edge against a light source.
The other option if you have a detachable build surface and a non-flat bed underneath is to layer tape in the low spots to build them up, so the whole surface is flat.
It takes a while, lots of checking and adjusting, but you can get pretty close to perfect.

I’d agree with ya there. I’ve returned it, but will look at getting another or going the ender route you suggested. Maybe the Prusa but I’m going to need some solid reviews for that kind of money.

My bed is covered in hardened abs slurry
What is the best way to remove it
I put it under hot water and started scraping but not much comes off at a time
Thanks
This is genius. I hate how my 3d printing pen works. Super inconsistent speeds that are not useful for anyone.

Anybody got good ideas for low profile clips to attach the glass bed to the build plate? A lot fan ducts hang so low that they can scrape my binder clips on large prints.
I remove the top silver part after it’s on and flatten the tall red nubs some to help. Considered snipping the protrusions off but if it comes off, it’s not going back on easily.
Been considering tape but don’t want to alter the print area more than I have to.

I’ve seen people use low profile folded sheet metal ones, and there’s some that are 3D printed clips as well under the same principle.

Looking for someone decent with cad who can help me design some basic files for an enclosure for my printer
Will pay for the service
Pretty sure there are countless enclosure build tutorials w/files and material lists out there.
It’ll be quicker and more efficient to go that route.

Issue is since I have a cr10 pro where the psu is directly below the printer bed you need a clever design in order to create an inclosure
And most of those designs either are a pain to use or cost a fortune

Just move the power supply outside of the enclosure…

If he can’t make an enclosure himself he probably wouldn’t do that either lol
I agree with Pedro, there’s tons of enclosures out there that work great. I’m assuming you need an enclosure to print your abs, like we said when you bought it lol

How?
It is attached underneath
Cr10 pro v2
Correct
As I said though the enclosure needs to be designed so little heat gets to the psu
The only one I found is this Creality CR-10s Pro Enclosure by Remondi2 - Thingiverse
But it requires to 2kg of pla to make plus a ton of wood and like 3 days print time
Dude just look at it yourself lmao it’s your printer.
You could easily substitute the wood for cardboard or thin plexiglass

I realise but also plexiglass costs a bit
And would cardboard work?
i don’t know how others feels about this, but maybe a grow tent would work? They’re designed to house electronics and have ducts that you can use to filter out bad air. Only issue is heat and that you cant see into the tent without unzipping it…im n00b so maybe others can advise against…

Check your hardware store scrap pile. And yes cardboard is a decent insulator

Cheers will do
Gotta look into it though is it requires like 3-4 days printing time and a lot of filament
Thanks a lot
