This month I learned just how important even a quick and dirty enclosure is for getting not-PLA to stick and print well. I ended up with a roll of PETG by accident and had the worst time getting it to stick to the build plate/avoid becoming a stringy mess. I read a lot of people saying to use glue stick and assumed that was on the glass bed itself (just makes a sticky mess and didn't work at all for me). Blue painters tape followed by the purple glue was the trick. At this point it's difficult to get the prints off the bed. A polycarbonate/plywood enclosure with an open top helped the rest. I will likely close the top when I go to direct drive and gently caress around with ABS, but for now things are great. What a fun tool! I'm a machinist by trade and used to look down on 3d printers. Tolerances/speed/surface finish/etc can't live up to a machined part, clearly  . Then the pandemic hit and I found myself not able to spend any more time than necessary at work; side projects are dead. Turns out I can live with this printing thing after all and I'm am idiot for assuming otherwise. This hobby is fun and I've been able to make functional poo poo for friends already. PETG:  PLA:  Assembled (note to self to line tape better next time):  Mounted:

Javid posted:What causes this kind of failure? I wasn't watching so I didn't see what happened, just came back to this. It's like the print shifted under the nozzle or something. Check your belts. I had something similar happen to my v2. I have a direct drive conversion on it and the slots that hold the belts were dead sharp (not deburred) and quickly sliced through the belts enough to slip. I guess that leads me to a PSA for PrinterMODS direct drive kits: check for sharp edges! It's also not a very refined kit, at least for the v2.

Scarodactyl posted:I think one thing is that a lot of people will post about printer-relevant prints in a printer-focused space. I don't want to bore you all with the various microscope adapters I've been designing and printing. Please do! I think most of us enjoy seeing the myriad uses for printers.

Ambihelical Hexnut posted:-- I just installed Klipper on my Ender 3 v2, with Raspberry Pi/Octoprint/OctoKlipper plugin. Was using stock Marlin firmware before. The install was super easy using this guide (although I'm not using BLTouch and can't vouch for that). https://www.reddit.com/r/klippers/comments/kj2h5r/stepbystep_guide_for_ender_3_v2_klipper_w_bltouch/. I bet it's similar for a Voron. Most Enders apparently cheaped out on the stepper drivers and can't run Marlin's Linear Advance. This led me to trying Klipper which has Pressure Advance (a software based approach). It was incredibly easy to tune and my prints went from having some ugly over/under extrusion in corners and transitions, to very pretty prints. See if there are any guides for the Voron & Klipper. It's made my printing far more enjoyable.

Ambrose Burnside posted:[Ultrasonic stuff] This is really intriguing! If you're posting about this project in the electronics thread or elsewhere, you should link it here. I think this thread has enough overlap with electronics tinkerers to be interesting. Do you have a rough sketch/idea of what your enclosure would look like? I'm a machinist and there's a chance I could whip something up at work in my spare time. Likely wouldn't have to charge you anything either - I'm just interested in what you learn about the ultrasonic devices and that would be enough for me. I've been wanting to design an ultrasonic motor/vibrator/polisher (for deburring tiny parts) since commercial products are expensive. If this is too far off topic, feel free to DM me.
