God I'd forgotten how much I hate PETG. Anyway this is the Holiday Buggy chassis complete , it all lines up nicely but its an ugly low res print and I had a little section at the front of the blue part warp up from the bed while I was out walking the dogs :( doesn't really matter as its never going ...

That's great work Mark Can't wait to see you do the box at the back with gloves and rope in it

Nice solution :D , that's really looking good , hate to think how much support it would need to print but thank the gods that supports have been so dramatically improved in the last few years , when I started 3d printing the amount of support and the difficulty in removing it from a print like that ...

All coming together nicely , a little trick I discovered by accident when printing headlights , if you leave them as hollow domes and print with transparent filament then the support material adds the lense effect .

Thanks for the nice words guys.
Here's a pic of my dirty hopefully soon to be restored rc10 rpm

One thing to consider, as I have learned from my own personal experience- dont buy a printer and expect it to do everything the best. My best, cleanest prints are made on my smallest cheapest printers, a pair of Kingroon KP3S’s. With a 180x180 shaker bed, a good portion of my designs won’t fit on th...

That would be a cool setup for home printing.

I have looked at the enraged rabbit carrot feeder (great name lol) and I think if I didn’t have a job it would be a fun project to consume all 25 of my hours each day

If I don’t constantly have 18 things going on to keep my kind busy I end up on eBay buying stuff :mrgreen: I decided to do some printing to keep me occupied between real jobs coming in. 3dSets released a new printable buggy just recently and wow- I was impressed. I bought the files, cost me $30, and...

I was recently looking at new printers for a friend and the new Ender 5 S1 seemed interesting , direct drive, all metal hot end , filament run out sensor , 32 BIT board and bed leveling sensor all standard , if they do a Plus I might be very tempted as it ticks a lot of boxes . Resin printers ..... ...

Every six months or so I get to thinking about getting into resin printing, then after about 30 minutes of e-learning about all the PITA aspects of it, I just stick with FDM. The toxins, the fumes, the enclosure, the heating, the cleaning, the curing, etc etc. Just too much for me. If I could dedica...

I have spent the last couple weeks trying to get my printers all tuned as close as I can. Setting accurate steps are the most time consuming for me, using a dial indicator to get the movements exact. My next difficulty was that even though the steps are tuned correctly, the print was still larger th...

My ender 5 plus never printed very well out of the box. I fought so many things, from the loud grinding linear bearings to the constantly clogging hot end. After replacing the linear bearings with some quality units from xyltech and the hot end with a stock replacement I was able to get decent print...

You know… I think you are right about the bl touch. I was thinking I had added it but that would have probably been on my regular ender 5. If I had it to do over I wouldn’t have bought the 5+. Until I made all these changes it really wasn’t a great printer and now I have so much invested- its just n...

I will also add this- if you want an incredibly cheap machine that makes stunningly good prints out of the box- the Kingroon KP3S (and the original KP3, as well as the newest KP3S Pro) are great and very affordable. They are only 180x180x180 so quite compact and portable. If you wait, you can find t...
