People definitely can't read. I just got a bad review because someone believed one of my socket holders was supposed to be for gridfinity and it didn't have squares on the bottom to align it. I don't do gridfinity and its not mentioned anywhere on my models.
@Poolshark314, you can teach a man many things but read instructions is not one of them.
The sad thing is he didn't have to read the instructions, just use my profile lol
One idea is turn on your other build plate to 50C. Place the spool on the plate with a cardboard box on top. Now you have a heated dryer. This of course is a quick solution rather than a fixed setup.
Do you have a hygrometer to get an idea of what your humidity levels are currently in your printing environment? I have never owned or used a filament dryer and have never had an issue in the 5+ years I have been printing
I've got a couple Tupperware like containers with desiccant and a humidity gauge. Stuff only stays dry in them so long. I picked up the little single reel Sunlu dryer, and it's doing well. Filament goes from brittle and foamy results, to flexible and clean prints in several hours. Then I stick it in the Tupperware in the hope that I'll use it again before the humidity comes back.

My new to me (used) Prusa MK3S arrived a few days ago and I'm super impressed with it. It just jammed out my first large print with no issues after I finished calibrating it. I was previously printing on a modded Ender 3 v3 SE that worked decent but had some quirks you had to be aware of.
The print is a paint gun holder. Needs more bracing and some revisions but the end goal is to make a rack for my 4 hvlp guns with a small cubby underneath them to hold spare parts.
Yes, currently it’s 30-40% humidity in the house. It’s typically low in the winter and high in the summer. I am more worried about the summer humidity in the south.
Can it make a .step so the file is actually usable for modifying?
oh no.
Careful uploading anything with proprietary information to a service that doesn't guarantee data privacy. The free
oh no.
First time in awhile running both at the same time, just started them on overnight prints. Making components for 3d scanning accessories
I did the same thing all up and down my 240Z's transmission tunnel for the 3/8" fuel feed and return lines. I used ABS, as it's somewhat more resistant to heat and more rigid than TPU.I had a need to make some flexible parts for my Z with good heat resistance, so I started playing around with TPU. Fun stuff. Still have to tune things in to reduce stringing, but parts do what I need them to do.
Years ago I replaced the multi-piece hard clutch line with a flexible one-piece line. Until now it was just zip-tied in place to the stock lines. The aftermarket line is larger in diameter so I wasn't able to route it into the factory clip.
New clips modelled and printed to accommodate the aftermarket line:
Nicely routed behind the factory heatshields, alongside the factory brake lines (as intended)
Oooo - another z32 owner here?
Funny enough, I put an e3dv6 on my (then) Ender 3, and it printed ABS and nylon all day (though it was very slow).Oooo - another z32 owner here?
If my ender 3 max could print ABS I'd have went that route. I'll definitely be printing some sort of clips for my wodeband O2 sensors
thats pretty much what it did to me. Now I am trying to lean fusion 360 and it is entertaining and torture at the same time for me.
The dryer is cheap and not needed for most users if printing PLA. petg, abs, tpu will benefit from or need it but PLA doesn't care as much
I bought this almost 2 years ago. I got it 50% put together and then got sidetracked( project ADHD kicked in haha). Finally finished it last night and did the calibration and leveling on it. I'm doing my first print ever now. I am getting some stringing. I am using the machine settings and ELEGOO PLA. We'll see how it turns out.
I've got to say Windows 10 and later really is much easier in that regard. My current daily driver laptop is a 2014 Dell M3800 (a slim line CAD model). It's been a great computer for the past 11 years. Anyway, with Win 10 MS started really moving to an update push model. The experience is much like it has been with my iphone.
