Long weekend. Better get started now. #3dprinting #kp3s #bambu #hotend #retrofit
Hey! It worked! It printed a little #companioncube for my #mechanical #keyboard!
So, it seems the problem was indeed the #hotend #fan... A larger print will tell, but that's for tomorrow: it's late here in Italy, and I don't want to leave it running unattended during the night, I've read of #3Dprinters catching fire and burning down houses 😱

I've got A LOT of failed prints with my #creality #ender5 #3Dprinter. It #clogs very easily. I tought the #filament was wet, but a couple of hours ago it #clogged very badly and I had to completely #disassemble the #extruder, #hotend and even cut a little piece of #bowdentube... before doing all this work I looked at a video explaining how to do it and...

...I SAW it. The #fan. The f...ing extruder fan in the video was running from the moment the #printer was switched on. I have never seen mine running, I always tought it was temperature controlled or something... It was just #jammed 🤦‍♂️ Unfortunately the plastic was very tired by the heat, so a blade broke instantly while cleaning it.

It seems I have to wait for a #replacement part, but at least I found the problem. That's why the printer was SO #temperamental!

Had my first complete catestrophic #3dprinting #failure… looks like the #primetower stuck to the hot end somehow and got dragged diagonally across the build plate.

Cleaned up but I’m gonna need to clean the #hotend out as well as review the #adhesion issues this print was plagued with

Slow hotend reaction time and slicer/firmware not ready to compensate the speed and temperature is what takes me a step back on all this fast 3d printing hypes. This tech is promising and would make fast 3D printing compatible with quality and strong layer bonding.

However, the road might be long as it's blocked by patents and the software side might be very dependant on the hardware (so we would need reliable automatic calibration). 1/2

Dear #Makers and #3DPrinting nerds, I'm looking for opinions. As I'm about to upgrade the #hotend/#heatblock of my #Prusa i3 Mk3S+ and have a favourite, I'd like to hear what you think! Have you upgraded your #3DPrinter and have some thoughts, or looking for an upgrade? What is your experience?

#Boosts are welcome!
#hotend und #nozzle vom 3D-Drucker reinigen ist kein Spaß ...
Looks like I'll be having a #hotend upgrade/refresh, either I want it or not. #fml
