Going to be a bit of a self serving response here but I put up a couple videos on YouTube about my own organization system. I spent many years trying to figure out how I wanted to do my drawers and this finally worked for me. Part 1 Part 2 If nothing else maybe it provides some ideas for...

I am just a home DIYer but I just picked up and Evolution R355CPS. Snagged it when Menards had their 11% rebate running and it's been a great time saving saw for non-compound cuts on a steel bed frame I am building. They have another model that can do compound cuts that may be worth a look...

Do you have a thread just for this head? I would really like to subscribe to that to follow your progress. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

That cylinder head looks excellent! I may have missed it but what machine did you print that on? It looks like a CR-10 in the background. I am thinking about buying the "Ender Extender for one of my printers to get a 400x400 build area. Also, I assume the end goal is to have it actually made...

I think you should be fine, PETG has some pretty decent flex to it. To ensure success I would just increase the number of perimeters around your holes. If you are using sheet metal screws you are probably good to go and won't need to do anything special. If you are going to use machine screws...

Those battery holders look excellent! That is also an impressive number of matching batteries. If I were to do this I think I would have a multitude of shapes and sizes within just my Ridgid line up and it would still look disorganized. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

Unfortunately, that is kind of the norm for PETG. You can try adjustment of combing and you said you have direct drive coming which will help. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

A couple questions. What temperature are you printing at, I know the ender 3 hot end design tops out at about 245 before you start to soften the PTFE. Ideally you would want to run about 255-260. Have you checked your e-steps? With PETG specifically, you may want to. You may find that while...

So, yes I should have clarified I moved back to the ender 3 build Tak style surface after seeing what overture included. Blue painter tape is also an option though I haven't tried it. I have a pro that I converted to DD and it's been excellent. I haven't been printing with the pro much because...

I have started printing almost exclusively in PETG for some projects for my car. I will say it gets a tad blobby when extruding on a Bowden tube setup but other than that it has been nearly as forgiving as PLA. I had a lot of problems with PETG on glass same issue you describe. I struggled for...

I am slightly surprised by your comment. While thingiverse and others do have a tremendous number of "display" prints I find a pretty significant number of designs that are functional. I have printed a few planetary gear boxes for a NEMA 17 steppers. They are going on some workshop projects I...

Adding ABL and octopi are game changers for the Ender 3. I find that Teaching Tech on YouTube has just about the best walkthroughs of anyone on the internet. He has a couple that literally walk you through every single code change in the firmware to add ABL. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using...

Check out the Teaching Tech video about adding the BL Touch, he was able to keep the SD card working. I believe the issue is that there is very little memory on the Ender 3 board so dropping the code for SD card support makes enough room to fit the new lines for the BL Touch. TT instead got...

These are the exact reasons I chose the Ender 3 Pro. It was an upgraded version of the best bang for your buck printer. The pro to me was 100% worth it when I saw the cost of the phone supply alone was within $10 of the price delta between the 2. The bonus was the wider Y extrusion and the...

I re-read this and I feel like I wrote an advertisement which wasn't really my intent. I am by no means an expert and it looks like there are many experts on GJ but I have a few observations. Size: In general I haven't found anything that I need a bunch of Z height so my main dimensions for...
