@jeepxj Good question and should have added. 32 gb. I used to run a lot of VMs in college lol
you got that STL link?

If you sliced it before, with no issue, what changed? OS? Cura version? Spool or disk space available? Other programs running currently?@kaymccampbell I sliced this once before with no issue. I downloaded a brand new STL from Thingiverse and still have the issue. I am not sure. It it pretty intensive since a lot of holes
@jeepxj Yeah I think it is just a super complex item. I have no idea how to simplify it.
If you're on a different computer, then everything changes. All bets are off.@kaymccampbell Honestly no idea. I don't remember if I sliced it on my old computer or not which would mean everything changed lol

thats not my tuned settings at all. lemme use my tune.That 23 hour print time tho lol
Yeah I do one of these a day before I go to bed.
i bet in PLA i can bring it down further. i got some high speed PETG coming that should be ok to 600mm/s@jeepxj Short for that file. The fastest I have done it was like 23 hours.
Nice job!




I finally brought my 3D printers over from the old house to set up in my new office. They have been sitting in my old garage for the past couple of years literally collecting dust. I had a particular spot in my office to put a shelf and picked up this cheap wire rack so I could stack them along with my paper printer.
The Prusa was given to me by work because it was having some printing issues. I went through the machine and calibrated it, and it seems to be working great. The Ender has some bed leveling issues. I had a piece of glass made to fix that issue but it still needs some work that I just haven't been in the mood to figure out. The Prusa is a much better machine anyway.
My daughter wanted me to print something for her, and since they seem to be all the rage right now, figured I would print her a Stanley cup.
Seemed to print really well. Now to find something more useful to print with it. I really need to make organizers for my pistol mags, but can't figure out exactly how I want to do them yet.
How are you storing your filament? Might be a humidity issue. PLA gets especially brittle when it absorbs any moisture. I print from a dry box but if I forget to unload filament for a couple weeks it will break right outside of the extruder in the exposed section.Two prints in a row I had the filament snap at the drive gear on my Ender 3 Pro. Could have been because where I was printing was too cold but I had no problems the past couple weeks in the same spot. Going to go ahead and get into a direct drive setup, specifically the 2023 version from Creality.
For the creality hot end mount, I like this left-hand drive Bondtech mount, because it lets you pop open the jaws straight forward and have easy access to anything that needs doing.Two prints in a row I had the filament snap at the drive gear on my Ender 3 Pro.

I would advise against the Sprite if thats what you're looking at. But ymmvTwo prints in a row I had the filament snap at the drive gear on my Ender 3 Pro.
