Makes sense, thank you

It's an Ender 3 v3 CoreXZ. The filament sensor is on the right side. It is possible that when it reaches the right most side, it 'bends' the pfte/cables to its maximum and they put a strain? If so, how do I remedy it?

how would I do that?

I have a Concrete slab and a rubber paver underneath. I removed them, cleaned them, put the printer back on, and reran self check. Here's the mesh now. Still a bend, but now everything is on or above the flat plane.

 

I'll try that thanks

Not really. It actually makes sense. I often look for easy movies to watch while I do dishes. I wouldn't ever sit down to watch them, and I wouldn't want to watch good movies while doing dishes because I can't get immersed.

This is more to tweak/tune the printer to print better. I have an ender3v3, and I know it can print it without supports fine, so trying to figure out why this one can't

 

Tried printing the frog from this set at 75% scale, and it came out like this. The original 3mf for this one doesn't include supports. What should I adjust on my printer to get better overhangs without supports?

Makes sense, thanks for the picture. Is there a trick to the right friction when using the paper method?

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm doing it by the paper method, so I might be guessing the right amount of friction wrong. Is there a trick to figuring out the right amount of friction using the paper?

Yeah looks like the plate was not fully flat to begin with. Making it attach fully flat to the glass bed made things a lot better

Yeah turns out the plate got bowed during shipping and was not exactly flat. After making it flatter and some cleaning, it's looking a lot better.

The default glass bed works perfectly at 60. I'm wondering if there's a temperature difference between the glass plate below and the pei plate above.

 

Added a PEI plate for my Artillery Genius using bull clips, and after leveling the leveling/adhesion test print comes out like this. Is this just me leveling the bed too close to the nozzle, or is it the pei plate not heating up as much as the original glass bed? It's at 60c btw

 
 

 

 

I was having serious leveling issues with my Ender 3v3 (https://programming.dev/post/42345126), and I tried so many different things like probe calibration and even total factory reset before I finally figured out what the issue was. The z axis camera mount that I added. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6702771. Taking it off fixed the bed leveling issues right away, and after wasting half a spool, I'm finally able to print my rookie designs. Thanks for all your help and advice! I'm so happy to see such an active 3d printing community on lemmy.

 
 

This is the model I used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4572809

I printed these by using the official orca profile from Creality for Orca Slicer: https://wiki.creality.com/en/ender-series/ender-3-v3/quick-start-guide/how-to-use-orca-slicer-with-ender-3-v3

  1. Why are the squares looking so wonky? Which setting is responsible for this?
  2. I see some spots where the prints moved to other places, but I run bed leveling every time. Is it bed warp, or some other profile setting I need to tweak? I wiped the bed with 70% isopropyl alcohol before I printed this, btw

EDIT:

Looks like the issue was with the wobbly table. I placed it on the floor, reran the self tests, and it's now printing a lot better!

 

I already ordered 1kg hyper pla white from creality ($8). What else I can buy during black Friday? I'm not sure what I'll be printing other than trinkets and household items. These are the ones I currently have in my cart. Please let me know your thoughts and advice.

White petg 1kg from creality $6

Anycubic: petg texture gray, pla+ black, Pla strawberry pink - $26

Please let me know if I should get something else instead.

 

I see a Creality Ender 3 V3 (not SE or KE) for $130 refurbished, and also a Creality CR-10 SE for $103 refurbished on ebay. Are either or these a good choice to get into the hobby, or am I making a mistake? Should I rather buy a Bambu? My budget is around $100-$200 max. Please advise.
