It's here . The box is big.


I would like to wait I have installed everything to open it, but I can't : I need to print parts for the Ender 5 plus enclosure, and the X1C would go on top of it. I'll have to unbox it tonight

After analysis of the filament path, the problem actually came from the buffer spring which was stuck. Only way to unstuck is to unplug the PTFE tube at the entry of the buffer. Unfortunately, it is not easy to do, as it is inside the buffer... Fortunately, there is a tool already on Printable for t...

Parts printed and almost everything is sourced, except the plexiglass which will have to wait on monday, as none of the home depots and equivalent didn't have 3mm plexyglass (and I do not want to reprint everything to suit to other thickness of plexiglass). https://i.imgur.com/3sIhFtM.jpg One of the...

Dadio , It will be soon time for multi color stuff... I launched the print of a poop box (yes, this machine poops :-) ) before I start the color stuff... And since there is still some green but not enough for the poop box, I took the silver silk PLA+ I used for the Samurai rims... And there is a lo...

The color option is nice, but it takes time... The print took actually 3 times what it would have taken without colours, just because the color changes. I had to see if this works properly. and it is... I have a timelapse of it (that's a cool feature, and some said that it could be usefull when a pr...

I don't see myself using that feature much, but to have it available on demand would be so handy! I don't know if I could justify the ams for the types of print I do, but knowing it can be added later and the cost isn't too crazy... Very nice! Not sure I'll use a lot the color change... It could be...

While reading on THE INTERNET, found out something that somehow I knew already : 3D printing is the future of this hobby

Few test prints again, as I want to have some clear understanding of the limit of this printer... https://i.imgur.com/cbadZFM.jpg Overhangs are good up to 20° and degrade (but still work) at 15°. No stringing, no tolerance issue at 0.2. I need to check tolerances at .1mm Bridges : it's perfect for t...

Plexiglass sheets were ordered yesterday... By grouping the order with my friends doing an enclosure for their prusa i3, we managed to slash the cost substantially...

In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to deal with a part of my use cases...

Following some reflexions on the supports following your comments, Dadio , I went to the resin manufacturer website, and beside the profiles, there is also detailed support configuration to use for supports generation. I did import that data in Chitubox, there is now plenty of support on the build p...

There was a 3D puzzle preloaded on the printer... It was printed first day, my son tried to find the solution for a week, and finally, we got it assembled...

I don't know if it helps but I saw this video a while back and didn't realize just how incompatible the AMS was. Not sure if it's worth the print but it looks interesting and should keep you from having to choose filament based on what fits best. https://youtu.be/DY1eDxNeFfU I'm not too sure about ...

After my last post, the heater for the resin printer arrived... https://i.imgur.com/4eL878W.jpg It was quickly installed in the resin printer chamber. The cable is going through the riser which is also providing a hole to pass the cable. And the riser is maintained in place with some double face tap...

There was a bit of printing activity this week... I remained silent because of no time to actually post about this... I had actually to try to print rims. I chose the Samurai rim, as I love it :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieybnksx30 8ieybnksx30 And here is the results https://i.imgur.com/uhc...

Some time later... https://i.imgur.com/G6Ehdjl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Er3YAps.jpg There is plenty of room for the E5+ on first floor. I launched a print with the X1C in order to assess if ok or not on vibration side, and what I suspected is turning real : I'll have to get the X1C somewhere else. Be...
