I continue to print TONS of bits for the Ender 3 V2 (I'll post a separate thread once I've done most of them). One big one is this very popular fang duct: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/ender3-v2-dual-40mm-fan-hot-end-duct-fang Well reviewed here: Oh, and a side-note: I've been getting...

LOL! Ya @The Hat !!! I was searching Google for "3d printer cfm or pressure" ... and this happened:

I've been checking throughout the day and am not noticing any problems. CPUs on the server for the past week looks good: Any other users having performance problems? I'll keep an eye on things :)

I've been hearing LOTS of great reviews on the silicone spacers to replace the springs. I had already ordered the yellow beefier springs and am pretty happy with them on my CR-10 and seem to do great on my Ender-3 (seems I never really need to level the bed after I get it dialed in).

I've been printing like MAD! LOL! I'm really liking this printer! ... and of course all my tons of 1st prints are bits and bobs to update the printer itself :D Next-up: LED Bar: I'm no designer, but I'm fumbling with OnShape to try to make a bracket to hold the LED strip that will run off...

Oh, and something I noticed: I don't think I needed to buy the upgraded "metal teeth" bowden pneumatic couplings. It looks like Creality took the feedback and started including couplings that have metal teeth and good grab. They also included the little bowden clips that a lot of people are...

WOOOHOOO!!!! All put together and working GREAT (so far)! My very first print, a 30% Benchy: I think it took me about 1.5 hours to put it together since I was replacing springs, couplers, bowden tube, etc., and being VERY slow and deliberate following all the instructions in the videos...

Valid points (and suggestions)! I hate to admit it, but I just don't print color photos enough to keep the inkjet from clogging up. So one option I'm looking at is keeping the (or a different) color laser printer, and the very rare times I actually need printed quality photos: I'll just ride my...

Ya, I feel ya on that! Fortunately the one I let go was never considered family since it was always in the box. More like a passing-through visitor. LOL! ...BUT... it will be interesting to see how I feel about my CR-10. If the Ender-3 V2 fulfills everything I need it to do, and does it better...

Update: I sold my original Ender 3. I listed it on craigslist, FB Marketplace, Offerup... same price, pics, info. I got 5 people interested from FB and ZERO from the other two! ... then purchased an Ender 3 V2... which has been sitting in the box for about 3 weeks :( Now that the GF and I are...

Ya, I think I'd need to go with a kit to ensure I didn't end up with a bunch of expensive parts and no real support or knowledge on why things didn't play nice together. Ah, that's very interesting and helpful! I was excited to see a video (I love videos for this stuff)... until I noticed it...

My kids are VERY hard to find presents for. So this year for Christmas I took my kids out on a "thrifting" (something they really like doing) shopping spree to some huge thrift-stores by my girlfriend's house. Well, as they were shopping, I strolled around the store a bit. Within minutes, I...

Glad you weren't disappointed :) Ya, there are a TON of positive Voron discussions, videos, etc. all over the place. In fact, it seems Youtube really wants me to go down that path since it's been recommending Voron videos to me left-and-right. LOL! Sadly, the Voron is a bit out of my skill and...

The original instructions often don't have and/or leave out a lot of the stuff that doesn't tend to work and/or things that the community has learned through trial-and-error is "better" than what was originally put in the build instructions. For example, TONS of people have found that the...

Now that the dust has settled from holidays, I'm thinking I'll cobble together the Ender-3 V2 this week. It's the most "kit" printer I've put together, so I'm a tiny nervous... and just hoping all the bits fit / work from the factory. I'm going to follow most of the stuff in this video: ...

Too funny! I fully support peeps getting together to create a printable calendar. No need to worry about toes-stepped-on, etc. We're able to do/sell professional ones on BYC since the volume justifies the costs/time. We need to buy / sell at least 500 to make it work. That might be tricky to...

Update: Packing up the printer back into the box with all the padding, packaging, foam, etc. was NOT an easy task. Fortunately, I think I got most things in *about* the same spots as before... and the box closed, so that's good! ;) Returned via Amazon through UPS without any issues. I woke up...

I've been *mostly* content doing all prints via USB that are under an hour, then anything over, doing via SD card. Unfortunately the USB connection has been sketchy and when connected to USB the intro flash-screen on my printer just keeps refreshing. Sometimes it will refresh 3 times, then look...

... now to add to my infinite options: I just read about new mainboards / motherboards for upgrading 3D printers and see that some come with Wifi, octoprint support, etc. already built-in. So, instead of adding Octoprint to my old CR-10, I could go down a rabbit hole of trying to upgrade the...

Well, it's an Octoprint Octopi Journey that might end with me deciding not to take the journey. LOL! So, I don't know much about it. I don't even know the difference between Octoprint and Octopi. I've NEVER done anything with a Raspberry Pi before, and it feels a little daunting. I also have...
