Not bad, but I think my next printer will still be a prusa

If you don’t get an early bird price, it’s probably not worth it IMHO.

Yeah just saw the part where cnc kitchen mentions this aswell, ender is probably better for the price. been also eyeing the prusa mini but the smaller print space is not worth it for me.

They pretty much just threw in the most common upgrades people did to the ender 3 and charge more to bundle it.
To be fair, I have done almost all the upgrades they’ve included and probably payed for it in shipping and machine down time.

Downtime sucks, my prusa mk2s is finally showing some wear. The bed temp sensor stopped working due to broken wires so replaced that and the hotend really needs a replacement (wires are also wearing out) they naturally bent to often while printing. So I ordered a new hotend for it. Hope with that 100 euro investment it can keep going for at least another year.

Got a ender 5 could get it for 215 uk, second hand wondering if this is a good deal
And is there a better printer I could get than an ender?
I can still link it but its designed to work with the random 13T pulley and M6 bolt that I had lying around
1x Pulley Cracker Nut.stl (2.0 KB)
2x Pulley Cracker.stl (109.5 KB)
There is a slit around it designed for it to be zip-tied together when in use.

This. A thousand times this.
“Dang I need this one specific weird thing that either costs $30, or isn’t even available.”
“I know, I’ll make it myself! HA!”
I just need a lathe and a mill, and I’ll be set… Until I need something else. XD

i dont get it. If i put each part in cura seperately they look like they should.
but as soon as i join them together
it gets like this in cura with all those triangles
fixed it… I took the Long Red part, cut off the top half and expanded the rest back to the previous dimension, put everything together and now they are gone??
Yeah, that happens sometimes. Funky geometry or something like that - No idea why it happens.

i’m getting these weird indents in a big flat print on the bottom
I’m printing with petg,
i forgot but i think i got these with pla too
it only happens with prints that cover a big surface
Those lines are most likely not being laid perfectly and are getting picked up when they got passed over again.
Did you have a chance to watch that area on the first layer?
yes i did, and i really couldn’t ufigure out what caused it
i’ll try to print something else flat and big and i’ll film it
help with design of battery box
hi can someone help me design a battery box i just can get my head round this design with the software available, im really struggling im sure someone could knock this up really quickly i just see it a long learning curve to get it done been trying tinkercad for some time now but just cant get it done will obviously pay what makes it difficult is my deck is curved,
i can help, i just designed one for someone else and i’m busy printing it. but not right now, i’m pretty busy
I have never seen them. But what I do see that you are possibly overextruding a bit. If I were you I would reduce the flow on the bottom layer to experiment.
hi thanks very much timmy its a really simple design im sure someone that knows how to use the software could knock it up in 5 minst really struggling with curves
i’ll try that
Yeah, I’ve run into that before. Check your bed leveling, that area may be just a hair high (or low, but I’d guess high) and is resulting in too much “squish” in the first layer, which in turn is resulting in the first layer getting mashed by subsequent layers.
is it safe to make a 100% petg angled riser?
