New 3d printer!

[kspitters]

Yeah! I just got a Ender 3 Max Neo. It is great and prints big. Do any of you know if there are filaments it can take besides TPU, ABS, PETG and PLA?

I ended up returning the v2, and getting an ender 3 s1. Depending on the upgrades, you can print almost anything. Direct drive is better for the flexible filaments, but some you can still use a Bowden tube. I don’t have any off the top of my head, maybe
@3d-rc.myshopify.com can help out here?

A couple firmware tweaks and it can print just about anything. It’s the temps that will be a limiting factor but a few people have tweaked the firmware to run higher temps. But I have personally never needed to print above 260c. An enclosure is going to be the more important thing when dealing with most high temp materials.

Yesterday I finished calibrating my 3d printer. I printed a talion mud guard today.

Wow! I’m making a scaled down weight rack and barbell with detachable weights for my trainers, here’s v2. V1 had a bar too close to the middle and was too small. Also too skinny for the height. V2 is current print and my f360 pic.

Impressive!

Thank you. Sunlu pla+ black. Probably the best pla I have personally come across yet.

 

[kspitters]

Wow! Well done.

Alright. I made 2 rings in F360, not connected at all. When they print, it extruded through the whole travel. Not stringing, just full layers. Any ideas? My cura setting were stock except for temps and seam. Seam was “back”.

The red in between printed just as thick as the red rings.

I don’t have a picture of the failed print because I threw it away immediately, i was mad

Any idea what’s wrong for me to have these bubbles type lumps? Need more cooling?

You got some moist filaments..

Shoot. Thanks for letting me know. What’s your recommendation for budget dryer?
If I want to move up to other filaments after getting pla down, should I get something I can direct feed now?

A Used food dehydrator ($20 cash ,got from a farmer), I just cut the middle racks' screen-trays out ,so it's high enough that I can put at least two filament spools in there at a time.

Don't need to pay crazy prices for the dedicated Branded dryers..

What do you mean..
You're direct feeding now , aren't you?

yes direct drive extruded, but I meant print from the spool in a dryer. I believe I saw @3d-rc.myshopify.com mention he does it?

Got my calibration cube dialed in. All measurements were within .02 mm, I’m happy with that. Also, my cleanest print to date.
