Tips & Tricks to Maintaining a 3D Print Farm!

[@carlborch1887]

This is the most 5 brain video on printing I have ever watched. Never thought to weigh spools or label files with time or material use. Thanks for the tips!

[@greggcaplan1304]

Frank thank you for this video. I think may folks get wrapped around the axel trying to do a bunch of mods and configuration changes and this causes so many points of failure that require hours of probing to repair. I like your method of keep it simple and "Know your printer". Thanks for helping me to get back to basics.

Such a great vid. I never knew that humidity can make a big difference. I’ve only been 3D printing since December but I did notice once it started to get warmer and more humid, my prints have been a bit iffy.

[@Tyguy266]

Love the channel. I have bindged watched about 40 vids by now. Been saving for a 3d printer for years lol can't wait to get one one day

[@FranklyBuilt]

Oh thank you!

[@gjmarshall975]

That filament weight trick was the best (and most helpful) thing I've seen this week. Thanks!

[@noahtech3663]

Just wanted to say thanks for this video and the burnout stream could not watch the whole thing live but I did finish it Thanks.

[@jacksonwilbourn]

Oh man, his videos are sooo helpful!!! My friend was able to recover a broken printer watching his videos and is now working on a storm trooper suit and I am almost done with vaders!

Do you have a link to the repair box? It looks really helpful.

[@chrislmink]

That's something he put together

I never had a problem with humidity with filament I even run my printers in the winter in a enclosure never had a problem with temperatures changing either 👍👍🇨🇦 grate video

[@NormanDurkee]

PETG, I use alot of it and I always have to dry it out before using a new roll just to be safe (and sometimes dry again halway through the roll). PLA is fine, no problems there, but PETG loves to absorb the moisture in my experience, I know I need to redry it when my prints start under extruding and are just overall ugly.

[@king_T0ny]

Thanks frank so much for these tips. 3D printing can't just work with logical thinking .

[@DelcoRanz93]

I have a question for future reference about cleaning the nozzle of a 3D printer, if bits of melted plastic on the outside of the nozzle start to interfere with extrusion, what is the best practice for cleaning that residue off of the nozzle?

[@_sniffer_8036]

Heat up the nozzle, then use an alcohol wipe or damp towel to wipe it. After that use a wire brush, knife, or needle to remove melted plastic. Hope this helps 🙂

[@sonofposeidon7359]

Yes sir

[@DoctorEviloply]

If the residue is on the outside I heat the nozzel and then scrape off the residue with plyers. Then I use the nozzel cleaning needles included with my printer to get right in the nozzle and clean that out. Sometimes I unscrew the bowden tube and use the opposite end of the needle to clean out the hot end.

[@7RZ10]

Use a wire brush

[@3doffsets163]

I use a paper towel when mines at 300. C

[@AuntJemimaGames]

Those magnetic tool bars are great, super cheap too!

[@TGG141]

Could you do an updated video on your print settings and/or your bridging settings?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yep! I’ll have an updated print settings video.

[@TGG141]

I’m very excited for it because my print settings suck, especially for bridging

[@billysthings]

Hi, I just ordered an ender 3 on Sunday based on your recommendation in the "You're probably wrong about 3d printing" and I'm hoping it will make my life a lot more interesting!

[@BrickyP]

Thank you for your assistance 😁

[@501AK]

Googly eyes got it

[@NewSickworld]

I love your vids!

[@Arkmanb]

Great video filled with lots of great info. The focus problems weren't as bad as I've seen before lol! That's a beautiful print that is in the thumbnail 😍

[@Puggssllyy]

Can you make the nerve gear from sword art online (a popular anime). I think you would love the anime and it would be an awesome prop/cosplay item to see being made. I'm going to make one soon but i don't have a 3d printer yet.

[@Puggssllyy]

pls upvote

[@therocketscientist7559]

Hey frank i hope you read. Well you probably will seeing as how im commenting on your channel anyhoo i used your videos a ton for printing helmets i had a 150x150x150x printer and i was printing full scale mando helmets i used all your videos every single one best printers pla welding bondo woodfiller paint and i recently upgraded to a cr 10s pro v2 (i live in an rv) now i print everything perfectly and plan to start an etsy shop thanks frank! This is cool a chance to have one of my favorite you tubers see my comment also you went from like 20k to almost half a million in like a year thats insane Edit my spelling is abysmal my fingers are cold and im on my phone not a good combo

That was some aggressive autofocus. Great video. Mostly commenting for the algorithm.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Thank you haha I’m sorry about that

[@jackdemario5259]

Hey frank I love all of your videos and who’s I could do a video with you, you are so inspiring. I have been following your channel for a while and love what you do I saw you posted this and stopped what I was doing and watched this. Please keep being amazing and please let me do a video with you.

[@fireflash3633]

About how many millimeters do you use a brass nozzle to create the suit ???

[@mannytheengineer22]

Great video

[@emanuelgonzalez8620]

Is your electricity bill high when running the farm

[@SandF3DPrinting]

Any chance you could upload a video one day explaining a bltouch and what it does and how to use one? I know there's videos out there but theres just something about the way you explain things that helps me learn it so much better.

[@FranklyBuilt]

I mean: a whole video just about that would be a little much. It measures the bed in 16 points and creates a “terrain map”. So even if the bed is flat it may have microscopic dips and high points. As the print heat moves, the printer moves the Z axis up and down ever so slightly to compensate for that high/low difference. Imagine running your finger over a grassy hill but you never push INTO the grass. You only feel it on your finger tips the whole time.

[@Br34kZ_53]

If you don’t mind me asking why do you have binder clips on the sides of your print beds

[@RyanBischoffPercussion]

They’re holding the glass beds on

[@journeywithjoel5227]

I have successfully printed out several stuff but last night when i was doing do jaw for the mark 85 it stopped and it gave me a thermal runaway E1. Any help or tips on this?

[@MrAlexanderP3]

what is the nozzle size of your printers?

[@MrFamousguy13]

What nozzles do you use and buy often that are reliable I have a print farm and had my share of nozzles from amazon and some work some dont there not reliable. Again what nozzle do you recommend are most reliable and buy often?

[@FranklyBuilt]

I havent changed any of the nozzles from wearing out. I only ever added .6mm nozzle to my ender 5 plus’

[@abarairenji4483]

Hi..first time printing My ender 3 pro is making a clunking noise... What is that and how do I fix it?

[@pcwway2dawn]

What size racking are you using for the ender 5 plus? I see 4 on 1 rack. What power bar are you using?

[@FranklyBuilt]

It’s a 28” deep shelf from lowes

[@YEETMachine3000]

Ender 5 plus need sewing oil run down the worm gears, 2 drops a side. Let it run up and down all the way, once for each drop

[@TheBigeapoppa]

What brand of WiFi socket are you using?

[@pedromathews9102]

Thanks! Always great content.. definitely inspired my love for 3d printing.. #Atlanta_ironman

[@SandF3DPrinting]

Also running that many printers at once and for that often, have you seen any kind of impact on your electric bill?

[@FranklyBuilt]

Eh not too bad

[@Cosanplayprops]

My ender 5 has the same issue, clogs a lot, and that dam cable has gotten in the way many times.

[@aidynbrits1219]

You should do a video on your green goblin helmet

[@Stealth11019]

Loved the video! Quick question though, have you had any issues with the Sovol Sv03s? I got one sometime last year after you mentioned them and its had nothing but issues. Bent Z rods, broken thermistors, ripped hot bed cable, BLTouch not working, and just overall pretty poor print quality. Support also takes a long time as replacement parts come from overseas. I wish i wouldve saved a little longer and gotten a CR10 tbh. I have learned a lot from constantly fixing it though so, silver lining

[@ReactsClipz]

My ended 3 has been broken for a few months and nothing works please help

[@Cimarb]

How many battery backups do you use, if any?

[@FranklyBuilt]

None

[@Cimarb]

@@FranklyBuilt do you not ever have power outage issues? My Enders are notorious for it, and we live in a nearly brand new house with a solid power grid 😑

[@FranklyBuilt]

Nope never had one. They all have print resume so I’m not too worried.

[@Cimarb]

@@FranklyBuilt so, better question then: when I do use print resume when it happens, I often get a gap between layers where it happened. I have minimized it somewhat by adjusting the baby z-steps once it restarts, but it is pretty hit or miss. Do you have that problem at all?

[@Kntcn27]

hello my friend frankley, i am a follower of yours from turkey, i have a request from you, can you please add subtitles under the videos?

[@quackmandoo]

I can adjust my z-offset during the first layer? Holy sh*t 😁
