About PLA on car parts, I'm using PLA a whole time I'm using 3D printer, some cosmetics on car/in car in black or green, in summer on 40°C so I can say these materials on/in car are around 60°C and no melting, still as new, except the color, color is shading away to more white, so from neon green I have white to green-ish :D

I live in Yazd,IRAN🇮🇷 and it is basically a dry desert. I have been printing with ABS and PLA for like 3 or 4 years now since first time I got interested in 3D printing, I have never used any kind of filament dryer and I never had major problems caused by wet filament like too much stringing.

I've often found myself stymied by 3D printing way too often. I started out quite a few years back with a simple Monoprice Maker Select V2, and I mostly had issues with corner adhesion. Every time I'd go to level the bed, I could never get it properly leveled either. When I tore the machine apart, I found that its carriage plate was a fairly thin piece of metal that was anything but level. The issues with that printer caused me to stop for a few years, but eventually, I decided that I'd put a bit more money into my next printer(s) to ensure that I got something a bit nicer. (In other words, hopefully with less issues.) Right now, I've got a Creality CR10S Pro V2 and an FLSUN Super Racer. With the Creality, I keep having issues with the left Z-axis side drooping (likely due to the extruder motor being on that side) causing difficulty in leveling the bed. I'm not entirely sure if that suggests that I need to just tighten the V-rollers a bit or if it just needs to be checked ever so often to ensure proper alignment between the two sides. ...or just convert to direct drive and drop the bowden! 😋 I also think it's disabling the heated bed at some point during printing, which is causing some lifting off the bed. The FLSUN is my newer printer, and I ran into a bit of bad luck there as the LCD's touch functionality refuses to work. Fortunately, I have a Raspberry Pi lying around, so I can just upgrade it to Klipper and ignore the malfunctioning hardware. Moral of the story? Spending more money won't guarantee a lack of issues!

[@leisterj]

Bed leveling is aligning the x and y plane with your bed. It has nothing to do with actual bubble level. Dont worry about making your bed level if the table its on has a slight slope. The key is that the nozzel is the same distance above the bed as it moves from corner to corner and everywhere in between. Remember your first layer is the most important and it is super thin. So the bed needs to be in plane, or the same distance to the nozzle at all points. Usually within .02mm

[@deedend]

You mean 0.2mm I hope!

[@JeronimoStilton14]

@@deedend no they don’t, if you have a 0.2mm layer being put on a bed that’s leveled to a tolerance of +-0.2mm then you will have areas where it’s floating and areas where you have zero extrusion as you’re touching the bed with the nozzle.

[@1973Washu]

Craft spray adhesive is good for adhesion, BUT I take particular care to remove the glass plate and apply it cold to reduce the fire risk.

Thanks for vid. Some observations though: PLA isnt affected by moisture, its been tested over and over in several channels. Like Makers Muse for instance. Vinyl however is absorbing water alot :) Bed Adhesive aint good to apply to all kinds of beds. For instance Creality Ender 3 that i have, it will ruin it to apply something like a gluestick or whatever. Much better just to clean it with a tissue with water or ethanol/isopropanol to remove fat :)

[@fl1289]

What do you think about glue stick on the ender 3 v2 glass bed

[@Sysshad]

@@fl1289 that should work good. Remember to clean it well afterwards. And do note that if the filament isn't sticking it can be because of several causes. For instance 2 low temp for nozzle or heatbed, or misaligned bedlevel. Or even due to bad PLA which shrinks/warps a lot. And sometimes using a 1cm brim helps it stick also. Glue is only one tool in the toolbox :)

I live in a climate where the outdoor humidity percentage is rarely above 20%. Since I also will be printing in a room that is air conditioned (which further dehumidifies as well as cools) is it still advisable to invest in a filament dehydrator?

[@AustenHartley]

I still would ! Depending where you buy your filament from, before it reaches you, there is a decent chance it was sitting somewhere humid !

Hey i love your video. and your are good to explain. thanks again. Which 3D printer should I choose have seen a video with cr-10 smart pro and there I had just ordered it before I had seen that video about that printer, and all the issue its had, but i am now in doubt if it is my right choice So now I go and think about whether it should be Ender 6 or Ender 7 But have also looked at the Prusa I3 MK3S + KIT What I want or need to use my 3D Printer to. want a 3D print that is very nice and it looks smooth and not blurred edges. but it is also important it can make things that fit together 100% or close. if you make screws and nuts that will fit together. So there are several things that are important to me. and maybe I demand too much for cheap printer. I'm brand new to the 3D world so I do not have a super sense of it. But I know I want to go into the 3D world and learn and start whit a good 3D Printer, And even maybe do a little projects that i might be able to make some money on. but its only a dream. Would I stand firm if I now bought one or the both. Prusa I3 MK3S + KIT Ender 6 Or Ender 7 Or I bought these Prusa I3 MK3S + KIT CR-10 Smart Pro so i bought 2 printer will the above be a good combo? or what do you say? Hope you can help me a little along the way. Have been inside and seen many videos etc. but has also been confused and in doubt in many directions. hope you have time to reply me and feel free to send me a direct email [e-mail] Is a little pressured for I get the CR-10 smart pro on Monday but will not unpack it until I just hear your opinion however, I only have a 6 day return right on it. so may very well be quick response if you have the opportunity.

So. I just bought a Elegoo Neptune 3 FDM printer. I should say, I have been doing SLA (resin) printing for over a year now and have they down pretty well. When I went to this new printer I thoguht I could just use the same software and files would be just like the resin slicing software... well, it isn't. so a total noob question... does the FDM printer only require the GCODE file to print or does it need the SLA as well? I have several files that I regularly print on my Elegoo Saturn that I want to try on the Neptune but they are completely different formats (.ctb) so i guess I have to go back to the STL file and recreate them for the GCODE file... or is there a direct way to convert them?

Just bought an Elegoo Neptune 3 and I love the auto bed leveling feature. Nothing to adjust manually... just push the button and watch it do it for you!

I am in about the same place as you are, also have a Prusa on order. On the recommendation of a friend, I have been using Alibre Atom3d for a few days now. 20 odd years ago I was drawing some stuff in 2d Autocad; sometimes that helps me, sometimes I think it holds me back since I think I know how to do something but the 3d software wants me to do it differently from how I remember. Getting it figured out and I will have some of my own design parts to print by the time the Prusa finally arrives. Alibre costs more than free personal use Fusion360 but once you buy it, it's yours and no cloud storage, so you don't have to worry about Autodesk changing their terms or now having to buy a subscription for the software you spent a bunch of time learning if you decide to turn pro. Although Alibre did manage to piss me off right away; morning after I registered, their customer support called me out of the blue to see how it was going, with no regard for time zones... Living in Alaska and working a swing shift, I had a hard time remaining semi-civil at being woken up early.

I leveled the bed when I first set up my printer a few weeks ago. How often do I need to do it?

[@neildarlow]

It really depends on how much effort you use to remove items from your bed. If you use something like Elmer's Purple Glue, or have a bed surface which holds your print securely during printing but releases easily when cool, then you should need to re-level very rarely. If you use scrapers or a hammer to release your prints then you risk disturbing the level.

[@mreid08]

I got a second printer a CR10 S5 and use simplified 3D, they don't list this printer so I used the software for the S4 which is a smaller build area so I set it to the S5 area, my question is can this confuse the printer or the slicer software because everything I tried the model printing infill is soft and outer layer isn't sticking to the infill. The test model on the SD card printed perfect, I don't know what I'm missing!!!

[@byHeroo]

Great to see you post in 2022! This is really helpful for people who want to get started. Question tho: I've been printing a rocket it has a cylinder shape, but it's been leaning towards one side when I stack the 2 cylinder parts together, do you know what could be the causes for leaning prints? do I have to reassemble my printer I may have made a mistake while assembling? ender 3v2 printer

[@AustenHartley]

Hopefully will be posting much more in 2022 ! Could be a few things ! Definitely make sure there is no lifting off the bed during the print, adhesive is always good. If the cylinder is hollow there might not be a lot of surface area on the print bed, adding a 5 - 10 mm brim might help. It likely isnt the machine axis. To check. Take a ruler and measure the distance between the X axis at the top and bottom of the machine and see if they are significantly different. Sometimes over-tightening of screws can throw this off, but I dont think that would be the case for this instance.

What are your thoughts on PLA+?

[@AustenHartley]

Hey Joe, I think it's for very specific use cases. For example a part that will require tight tolerances and needs a lot supports to print it so maybe you want to avoid PETG. PLA on its own, when not subject to heat is very strong so the "+" is also just a good marketing tactic.

[@g.4279]

@@AustenHartley That's not entirely fair, PLA has high tensile strength, but is super brittle. "PLA+" and "PLA Pro" are just blends that increase toughness/impact strength. Quality varies a lot by brand but eSun and Polymaker make great PLA+ variants.

Have you noticed extended point time in Prusa vs Cura?

[@AustenHartley]

Only difference we notice regularly is that Prusa tends to give us more accurate print times. It's usually pretty precise to the minute. Likely because we run Prusa machines. If you want a really accurate print time with Cura, you have to match all the acceleration, jerk, etc setting to those of your printer.

[@Shootinfor6s]

@@AustenHartley I can see that. I have 4 different printers, an Anet A8, Ender 3 v2, GeeeTech A20M, and an FLSUN QQ-S Pro. I had recently downloaded PursaSlicer and was playing with print times etc. It appeared that all the settings were correct between PrusaSlicer and Cura. Prusa had it printing in a little over 6hrs, where Cura had it printing in about 2 1/2hrs. I didn't think to look at acceleration, jerk, etc...... I made sure that the line thickness, speed, temps, retractions and everything were the same. I'll have to do research to see what the proper acceleration, jerk, etc is supposed to be for each printer. Thank you for the insight

[@chrism2964]

I started at 50 degrees for my print bed & it wasn't sticking to it but when I cranked it up to 75, works perfectly every time. I just can't get it to store that temp in a pre-set so I have a laminated card taped to the printer with the temps that work best, 75 for bed & 200 for the nozzle as a 'friendly reminder'. Ours was a Christmas gift to my husband last December & I'm loving it ;) The issue was with both the short 'sample string' of what came with the printer & what we ordered from Amazon, I'm pretty sure it was PLA. the printer itself is the Ender 3 Pro.
