Welp, I'm about to fall into the rabbit hole that is 3D printing, someone stop me  I'm pondering a new Ender 3 Pro (They're about $300-320 here in  ) or a slightly used Prusa i3 mk3 with a pi3 ($780ish USD). I can also pick up a used Prusa I3 mk2(s) with the MMU2S multi-filament upgrade for about the same, but I'm not sure if I want to go in that direction? Lots of complexity for a beginner...

mattfl posted:Go with the Prusa i3 mk3 without a doubt. You can always add the MMU or get a Palette 2 later once you get the basics of single color printing down. Yeah, I'm not too fussed about multi-filament printing, and it's just adding complexity I don't need at this point. The one that's available used is a non-s, and he's charging an awful lot for it (I can get a mk3s kit for like $100 more, including shipping and import duty), so I'm going to ask if he has any leeway on his price, or if there's some stuff included that makes up for it.

So the guy selling this is a retard and doesn't actually want to sell it, at least not for a reasonable price. Ugh.

Welp. Wound up with a used Prusa i3 Mk2.5 with MMU2 (heh). Slightly modified with MR9WN linear guides. Finally got the fucker printing after messing around quite a bit. After a FW update, all was good. Currently printing some leftover PLA that I got with the printer   E: photo! Wibla fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Jun 13, 2019 |

Motronic posted:Isn't that the MK3 extruder? Looks the same is what is on mine. So maybe already upgraded to 3? Or was that also on the 2.5? It's an Mk2.5 that was upgraded to Mk2.5S + MMU2(S) as far as I can tell. Still running Mk2.5 + MMU2 firmware. It gets funnier.  Linear guides!

I just had to shim the brace from the PSU to the X-frame on my Prusa to get the Z-frame straight. Fun times. Doing another test print now, wee. E: looks like the PSU - Y-part has twisted somehow. That's interesting. I guess no shim needed, but adjustment absolutely needed. Fun times. Wibla fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Jun 17, 2019 |

Running things made for 12V at 24V will generally end poorly, so don't do that. Have you checked the resistance in the heatbed?

Dr. McReallysweet posted:So my printer fan died today. Went to amazon and looked for my favorite brown fan company. Turns out they dont make 24v fans, but everyone says to just use a 12v one. Im assuming its different because its only pulling a fraction of an amp? What printer do you have? Some motherboards have lower-voltage headers for fans, as far as I've seen.

I let my prusa sit with filament loaded into the MMU2 for a week and it got super grumpy. Not making that particular mistake again.

N17R4M posted:Hello printgoons. I'm looking to expand our workshop's tooling to include a cheap-ish (sub 250 euro) printer. We have a 3d printer company to mass manufacture parts for us, but the turnaround for protoypes and general tinkering has been so slow (one product's been delayed for about three months) that I've snapped and learned to use FreeCAD to make the designs myself (because I hate backseat designing), and now I need something to turn them into plastic. If you can stretch it to a bit over €300, I'd go for a Prusa Mini instead. E: Holy poo poo, the backlog on new orders is now up to June, ouch, might want to look into an ender 3 pro instead

ABS is a massive ballache, it's not something I would buy to "fiddle" with at all. PETG is fine if you need higher temperature tolerance.

Recycled PLA is best avoided. Even bottom barrel new PLA filament will be more consistent and print better.
