I am contemplating of getting Sprite Pro... How is your experience with it speed wise, since Ender 3 is not the fastest printer out there unless you go clipper way?

My best upgrade to my Ender printer was to sell it and get a Bambu X-1 Carbon!

Yeah... those ender 3s are a lot of work. I swapped to the A1 after pulling my hair out for a year with my ender 3. World of difference. They might still be on sale too if you're looking for a 3rd printer. Ans to anyone not looking to drill all those holes ( like in an apartment) I found command strip wall mounts over on Thangs for the multiboard

How often are you opening the lid? As I understand it you have to open it regularly to let the hot moist air out and the colder dryer air in. The same as you do to reduce moisture in your home by opening the windows for 5 minutes a day. Otherwise you've just got a filament sauna.

I just got a p1s and im new to 3d printing and i made about 9 tiles 9x9 and all came out beautiful. No issues Straight from my phone without using my pc

This is the 2nd vid I've watched in your series Doug and I've already learnt so much about what it means to practically take on this journey (esp someone completely green to 3d printing). Sounds like a good project to learn on. I appreciate the 'realness' which is refreshing from other youtubers with the 'ra ra multiboard is great'. Thanks for sharing the journey.

Thanks for sharing. JUst what I'm looking for as I embark on the 3D printing adventure.

Thank you sir! I've been trying to figure out who to hang things after printing the multiboards, the original creator didn't do a great job showing what people can actually do with it after it's mounted on the wall.

HI! You were having this issue even with the MRiscoC firmware? Like someone said below, try to increase the bed temp. For PLA filaments, I use 80*C for the initial layer and then 70*C for the rest of the print. Every time I print, (after the printer has been off or cold for a while) I'd warm up the bed to 80*C, tram my corners within .01 difference, then conduct an auto mesh, check the Z offset. I'm still using the stock glass top, I wipe it clean with isopropyl alcohol when I'm printing PLA and use hairspray when I'm printing ASA. I had a PEI sheet, but ASA would lift it off the magnet even though I have an enclosure, so I stayed with the glass top and never had curling issues again. Goodluck!

Having the same issue. Did you figure it out?

For what it's worth, I upgraded my ender 3 with the microswiss NG Revo direct drive extruder, and that was actually a solid move. No stringing, have to deal with slightly low temp readings and adjust accordingly, but that part of the printer has been wonderful. Only note is that swapping Revo nozzles is not always as easy as advertised, and I've definitely ruined a nozzle (or two) trying to force them. I've since abandoned it when the bambu P1S got a solid discount recently and I finally bit the bullet, and... hate to say it, but it's wildly faster at everything, and I've had basically no print failures. I am definitely wary of a more locked-down platform, but so far they're doing everything right, and these are ubiquitous enough that, were they to try anything, I'm sure people would jailbreak them instantly. I do want to go back and upgrade my Ender 3 with a nice PEI sheet, give it a once-over, maybe get it printing again, but right now I've just got so much printing done I'm actually LOOKING for projects. If I go through with printing multiboards that'd be a good excuse, but honestly, I can probably do stacked printing on the P1S at... 6x faster than my Ender could do, so I doubt it's worth the trouble.

the issues youre having remind me of when i was trying to print with filament that needed to be dehydrated. threw it in the air fryer for 4 hours at 130F and was good to go

Your nozzel is too close. I have also had this issue.

Ware do you get your files

My board is dead :( I really feel like moving on.

Sounds like the lamination in the transformers are loose.

they have that in orca slicer

would you happen to know the part number for the gasket that goes between the transmission and the differential? I believe you mentioned it before you started taking it apart but didn't hear anything else about it. Thanks

where's day two and three videos?

Hey Doug, been watching your progress. Where did you find the 90° Corner mount snap?

Doug is doing something! Interesting recommendation from YT as I also just got a new hot end and probably need to do this

Testing mine now. I have 170 on one side and 150 on the other. Going to try seafoam, fill the cylinders and let sit for 48 hrs, clean out and run it hard for a while, then re-test. I’ll post what happens for entertainment.

I want one, how can I get it???

There are screw in spacers for the small peg holes. I use them in the middle of 8x8 panels so that the panels won’t flex too much to the wall when inserting something. Only downside is that the pegholes are occupied.

Looks great! I've had so much fun filling mine up -- and even put up a couple of smaller ones since i did my big one. Yours really turned out nice!

Looks pretty good. My son and I will be getting a 3D printer for Christmas this year and I'm seriously considering experimenting with multiboard too. It was great to see the good, bad and ugly throughout your process so far.

Nice ride man does it come with an 8 track stereo man?

I just started watching your videos and iv seen 2 now but did you check the nozzel on the ender it might be worn if its not using a harden nozel.

You know, Bambu labs is having a sale right now. An A1 is just $299 and would run circles around those enders. Plus you'd have the option of multi-color if you wanted to add an AMS at some point. Just saying.

I'm curious how old that nozzle was? I don't see how it was so worn out unless you've printed a ton of abrasives with it. Also, I've never personally used an Ender 3, but seeing as that you could get a brand new one (v2 I think?) for $50, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. How is the filament getting fed from the spool to the extruder? Is there any strain between those 2 points? Is it fed through a tube? Is the ID of the tube too small? I've not really used an Ender 3, so not familiar with them. Also, printing Multiboard can be frustrating if things don't go perfectly. I've started printing out my panels, which is going to be 70-80 8x8 or 8x9 tiles. I was getting some warping in 1 corner of my bed consistently, so I bought a bottle of Vision Miner Nano and no more issues. If worst comes to worst, you can always check your local FB marketplace to pick up a used printer that 'just works'. I'll let you determine which brand that is. Good luck!

Get a PEI double sided magnetic build plate, you won't look back. If a warped bed is an issue (one reason I used glass as long as I did), use some painters tape under the sheet to raise any low points that the auto levelling isn't compensating for. 40mm/s is the fastest I would go for retractions, personally I use 35mm/s and 1mm-1.5mm on those style direct drive setups, 40mm/s 0.5mm on my sv06 and 30mm/s 3mm on my bowden equipped ender 3's (the 6mm they use as default is twice what you need, I get no stringing and can print the Eiffel Tower print reliably, so long as I have dry filament). Glue stick is fine and it works, but once I got a PEI build plate for one printer, within a week I replaced all 4 of my print beds with PEI, and only a week earlier I bought 3 brand new glass beds, 2 of which will likely never be used now. Good luck and all the best. If you need any tips I have done the hard yards and am happy to help.

I admire your determination. I would have thrown in the towel a few times already. Have you considered getting something besides an Ender? I feel like you've spent a bit trying to upgrade that sucker.

Looking good! I've become obsessed with all things multiboard since I got mine up. Getting close to finished filling mine up. Hope you keep on updating as you fill it up with mounts and stuff.

the diffent noise might because of a diffenrnt speed maybe

Ahh... Creatlity. Now there's your problem. Everything is better when it's made with Bambu. :)

take the liitle metal thing that you can use to tighten up the extruder out because it is probily still to tight

add a skirt also all nozzles oze out when hot and take your magnet off of the bed if you arent gonna use one of the pei type sheets it will help with print quailtiy because it will be lighter and it will heat up the build plate faster

Same thing as textured PEI and G10.

Glad it's finally coming together for you. I think you are going to love the multiboard system. I'm just getting started with it as well and it has been a game changer for organization.

try a different slicer to help with your ender issues i would recomend orca slicer

such a nice fit so far in the wide view of everything. Those little gaps between two panels would probably bug me too, but still for such a big project it's going well.

Looking good! I've been using the same method of slapping mine on the wall. print, place, mark, remove, install wall anchor, remount. I think sometimes there is slack when I am doing that marking and when i have lower connectors in the holes don't line up so I bet that alignment problem you mentioned is like that. I saw it a little bit too. Are you planning to do that whole wall behind your bench or are you going beyond that?

wow 9x9 tiles take 3 hours for me to print per tile that long for just 4 ouch

Hi - enjoying your videos. I just put up a small multiboard grid myself. My is using 8x8 tiles, with one 8x9 to fill in a gap. will end up being 3x9 tiles total until I expand a section up the wall a bit. Not as big as the one you are doing but the system is really neat. Looking forward to watching your build come along. I hope you keep sharing your progress.

You know Gridfinity is just a rip off of Alexandre Chappel's system right? I enjoyed watching your build! Excited to see it progress.

Always love your content and excited to see what you do with multiboard. It's such a wonderful versatile system.

I had a spot on my bed that was having adhesion issues at one point. I just cleaned it with some dish soap, warm water, and a soft sponge and it started working perfectly again. I'm pretty sure it was oil from my skin touching the plate that was causing the problem.

12:12 I had some issues with stringing with CC3D filament. At first I thought it was because I had just transitioned from Cura slicer to Orca slicer. Printing from Cura yielded the same results. Digging around in Orca, I came across filament settings. I looked up the specs and settings for the CC3D filament and dialed that in. Let me tell you, it made the world of difference. I see plenty of videos on dialing printer settings which does apply to filaments to some extent. But in my research, different filaments can require different tweaks such as extrusion rate. I’m averaging about two multiboard tiles every other day, so I understand just wanting to be done and on to the next project. Hopefully you’ll be done soon. Best regards.

Take them gloves off goofball! Gotta be one with the grease!

can you flip the bed for another texture?
