Well at least you’re honest

thanks!

Hey, give us one of those cool privacy respecting links if you don’t mind :)

I wish I could wrap my head around freecad, but we’re just not there yet and we may never be.

May I ask why it is that you say this?

I wonder if they get notified every time someone says their name? XD

Your new prints turned out much better than the old ones. Nice work. What printer did you upgrade to?

Thank you for the help with the photos. I’m still struggling with it for some reason…

I appreciate the feedback on the vertical bars being too thin, that makes sense. I’ll do some adjustments to the design, do some calibration prints, and give it another shot.

He did. The layer adhesion seems ok, generally? I’m still pretty new to all this. I’ll give your spiral mode tower a test soon, thanks. I’m currently printing a temperature tower, so I’ll see how that turns out too.

I could definitely add more bridges and stagger them like you said. The design was made by using slot cutouts in Fusion360. I’d have to play around with it to figure out how to alter the design for cutouts to form an x pillar/bridge combo like you mentioned.

Thanks for the help.

really hope this this makes some big progress soon.

My apologies, I said ABS, but I meant PLA. Thanks for the suggestions again. The calibration settings would be on the printer itself, not the software, correct?

Bowden, and thank you for the suggestions

So basically just delete the honeycomb then? lol

It’s an Ender 2 pro, ABS filament, default settings? I’m pretty new to this. Thanks for your response, I’ll look into those suggestions. I am currently considering getting a filament dryer

That’s awesome, thanks for suggesting that. Should be a quick and easy fix for now

Yeah, I know that now! Lol

Being brand new to everything about it, I had no idea the endstop would have been off.

I tried to do some basic checking of things, according to some videos I watched. This one particular detail just happened to get overlooked though.

Have you ever ran into anything that took you a while to figure out?

Yeah, it’s definitely a learning experience. A frustrating one, but also a rewarding one.

I’ve had my Ender 2 pro for a couple of weeks now and just managed to get it printing good. The minimum height limitation sensor (don’t know the proper name for it) was not set correctly from the factory. It was too high, and thus my print bed was not able to be leveled correctly until I figured this out.

Also, the slicer software I was using had a setting for “pause at layer height…” which was enabled at about 4 or 5 different times. That was super frustrating too, until I figured it out finally.

Now my prints are looking pretty damn good, and I don’t have to babysit them. I’m pretty happy.

Yeah, I did see that. Do you have any idea when it might be released?

No worries, friend. I’ll make sure I email them if I feel like I need to. I appreciate the help

So, you’re suggesting to just put the whole thing in a box without disconnecting anything and it should be fine so long as I’m padding it appropriately right?

Thank you!

That is absolutely fucking amazing! Thank you for sharing all of this with me, and I do want you to know that I appreciate how helpful you’ve been. That last part is especially helpful. I am definitely leaning towards the Prusa, but we’ll have to see. I don’t mind tinkering, but I can’t really say that I’ll have the time to… I may respond some more later when I’ve had the time to analyze some of the links you provided.

This is such a cool thing to have discovered! I mean, I’ve known about 3D printing, but I feel like my eyes have really been opened recently. I’m fucking STOKED dude! Lol
