Actually, some brands have been known to have issues with tangles, and it's usually down to specific colors, which indicates that there's likely a single machine from a factory that is the culprit. If they spool it wrong and an area spools looser than another, and ends up overlapping another segment, then gets pulled tight again in another area, the spool can definitely cause an overlap that essentially tangles the filament. When you spool something, it has to be done in a specific order, layer by layer, or this will happen. Even spooling machines are susceptible to this, if they are operated incorrectly.

Good tips to keep in mind. Haven't experienced roll tangling but I'm sure if I start swapping rolls a lot and get ahead of myself, it will happen. When I bought my kit, I specifically payed the extra $20 for the auto leveling kit to avoid that problem and so far it seems to work well. I find I have to check and usually adjust the height of the nozzle before I start a print to make sure it isn't to far away, or sometimes, to close, so that is something I think I'd add to the tips, check nozzle height with feeler gauge before printing to make sure it is right. Also, I check the nozzle for any plastic goobers that have built up and wipe / break them off too. I've also had pretty good luck, for the most part, with using 3M painters tape on the bed for the first layer to adhere.

Having only be doing 3D printing for a few weeks now, the one mistake I have made and remedied is that supports (especially tall ones) for 3D prints sometimes need a small manual bed of about .5 mm thick to secure them from falling over when the 3D printer is printing the actual object. In one case a brim was not enough ,and in another, a raft lifted up of a heated bed when a particularly large area above an array of supports was being printed. I found adding a flat rectangular box (or a cylinder) to the the slicer and scaling it to .5 mm thickness, and a decent margin around the support material works well to secure the supports to the bed and not fall over. Even on a single support of several centimeters in height !

Maker's Muse Wrong, about how to wind filament. I've dealt with spools for 40 years. The fix? Have your friend hold loose end then roll the spool filament on the way it rolls off, like you were holding a bicycle axle & wheel. When you pull the filament off the edge to the side, it puts twists in the filament. Same when you rewind across the edge in the way you did in the video. I've run miles of cable by hand thru skyscrapers thru the street into another building. As long as the spool can rotate to feed the filament, it has no twist.

I do the same but i also dab some gluestick on it, spray with isopropyl before it dries and then wipe the bed clean, spraying more isoproyl as needed. It will create a surfaces that WILL adhere to prints but also detaches when cool.

I do it now regularly, add new thin coat of my special sauce. um.. that sounded dirty for some reason...

I have just bought an Ender 5 pro, this is my first 3D printer and I assembled it as per the instructions and took advice from the many videos on you tube but I was still having problems with my prints, layers were being missed, details were not being printed at all and I was getting really bad adhesion to the bed and the extruder was clicking. I tried many work throughs including removing the filament and retrying but could not seem to solve the problems, I was using the filament supplied with my printer. I changed my filament because of a colour preference and all my problems were resolved, I am getting much better prints now. I now love my Ender 5 although I was on the verge of sending it back. So don’t think that the problems are something that you have done or haven’t done it could be just that the filament supplied with your machine is a far inferior quality. Enjoy!

I must have done well, because my printer is solid as a rock (printwise)now that I got an inductive sensor for autolevelling.

YES. YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES! I feel like if I saw this when I first started, I wouldn't quite understand, but boy howdy do I understand NOW. And sticking the loose filament in those holes. JEEZUS is it infuriating finding out the reason it jammed is because I didn't do that. I NEVER forget to now of course. I think everyone's 3D Printing education journey just has to have these trials and errors so we learn not to by failing. it sucks so bad though, but I'm glad I know what not to do and totally why so I don't again.These days I never print rafts, and I'm getting into using Meshmixer to create column/cone supports instead of my slicer's crappy ones. prints look so good these days

In germany we have a company called OWL Filament and if you look up reviews, almost everybody says, that the Material is tangled up and has different diameters (thinner spots and thicker spots). So I used Filament from Das Filament. Also a germany company. Its my first and only Filament and I really like it. Also you can get refill spools without the spool and a ton of colours for what I think is a fair price.

The biggest problem I had early on was deciding whether or not to have a sidewalk/raft on the print I was doing. I was told from the beginning that ABS jobs usually need it and PLA jobs shouldn't need it, but in practice I found the opposite was true with the CubePro printers I was using at school; the PLA never stayed on the print plate no matter the shape of the part (I was doing a lot of simple flat and wide print jobs that would always start peeling off the plate mid-print and often fuse themselves to the nozzle when it hit them), and the ABS with a sidewalk/raft was so solidly stuck on the print plate that it was almost impossible to get off. One job I spent nearly two hours trying to get off the plate, and judging by the state of the plate with chunks gouged out of it and discoloration from bits of plastic that never fully came off, I was clearly not the only person who had difficulties.

Nice video. Useful. Thanks for sharing. Here's some more. 6. Using old filament (PLA hardens & becomes stiff & brittle over a period of time). Use it up before that. 7. Incorrect STOPPERS settings can lead to inaccurate HOME positioning. 8. Not using 3D Printer for long time. (Circuits can catch moisture & rust the electronics). Keep it used time to time. 9. Trying to replace filament when nozzle is not hot. It may get damaged. Heat up the nozzle before removing/replacing filament. 10. Leaving the print job unnoticed for a long time can over heat cooling fan motor which keeps running for no reason.

Another mistake that certain peope *will* make: "Uh, I bought a 3D printer. My nephew is good with computers so he can install it for me and teach me how it works". Since in a metaphorical sense I've been the "nephew" from that example on more occasions than I care to count, I'll just passively-aggressively add that no, we "nephews" can't teach you, and no, we don't know what's wrong with your phone/TV/radio either. And for fuck's sake don't call us when your car also breaks down...or makes a strange noise... what? You just got an air fryer? That's it, I'm migrating and changing my name. Fuck that shit.

Yeah i've noticed that too. To get any meaningful use out of a 3D Printer, you need to be a 3D Artist and ideally have some Engineering knowledge when things go wrong. Both of which take years of dedication to get good at. To be fair though, I find the marketing to be incredibly misleading. It gives the impression that anyone can buy a pricey 3D Printer and just magically create new things at their home. I've yet to see a 3D Printer that worked flawlessly out of the box.

I did a lot of research prior and managed to avoid all of these mistakes except the filament one, but that wasn't my fault because it was the filament that came with the printer and despite the fact I had never unrolled it, it was tightly coiled and it caused it to ruin a print because it didn't unravel correctly.

What do you do if a roll is ending, and you still have a fair amount of fillament left but not enough for anything you want to print? Do you forget about it and get a new roll? Also, how do you make sure you have enought fillament on a roll for what you want to print?
@joey.526_27 жыл бұрын
for the how do you make sure there's enough some slicers have a place where it tells you how many grams it's going to use, you could always just keep up with every print you do on that filament and subtract out of 1000 or you could weigh the spool and calculate the actual spool weight out of the filament, or if you feel you don't have enough hold of on that print and get the same roll of plastic and start with the small roll and when it gets close to being out pause the print and change to the new roll

Fester Blats Not necessarily. While 100hr isn't that much for a 3D printers total runtime, it depends on the kind of things you print. I personally most regularly print 2-6hr small objects. Usually some small part, mount, or shim for a larger project.

I realize this is a 4 year old video but, in case someone stumbles on it as I did here is #6. And, by the way, I am now at month 7 of printing and I learned a lot. #6. When you build your file in what ever CAD you use and you are joining pieces together make sure to overlay them. Example, two 3D squares of same size. Do NOT just bang them both together so they are just touching. You want to embed one within the other. Depending on the shape I try to embed one object within the other by .3mm. That seems to be enough of a join. I am sure you can do it with .1mm but I like to be sure to play it safe.
