My new #neptune4 nozzle lasted a week: https://toot.kottman.xyz/@michal/115338226489970187

I was doing flow calibration and had to step away, and came back to a horrible mess with plastic everywhere.

I managed to get some off with the help of a hot air station. There's still some plastic inside which I don't know if I'll be able to get out.

What do you use to clean up mess like this? Or do you straight buy a new one?

#3dprinting

I don't know exactly what happened to my #3dprinting on my #elegoo #neptune4 , but recently I've had a very good experience - just turn on, upload+print and forget about it.

First layer adhesion is good, minimum stringing, no layer warping, overhangs have reasonable supports, the models look good (compared to what I had in the beginning).

Is it bias in model selection (instinctive "this would print good/bad"), is it the hundreds of profile tweaks, new bed and diy enclosure finally paying off?

🌟 **3D Printer Recommendations Needed!** 🌟

I’m diving into the world of additive manufacturing and need your help!

I’m looking for an inexpensive 3D printer (under $500) that’s perfect for a free and open-source software (FOSS) enthusiast like me.

🔍 Here are my criteria:
- **Budget:** Under $500
- **User-Friendly:** Easier to start with than a Voron 2.4
- **Hacking-Friendly:** I’d love the ability to tinker and customize!

What 3D printer would you recommend for someone just starting out? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments! Your insights will help me make the right choice. Thank you! 😊

Les premières impressions d'une nouvelle imprimante sont souvent des petits bateaux.
Le fameux Benchy permet de faire un bon test d'impression.
Ceux-ci m'ont permis de comparer une impression de mon Ender 3 et différentes configurations de ma nouvelle Neptune 4.

I've got myself a #ercf kit for my #3dprinter 🙈. It's the one from #trianglelabs. We'll see how it'll work out for my #neptune4. Or my Artillery Genius? Maybe even portable? See you in 2 weeks after holiday.

I got it today, as the kit was only 114€ for 9 colors.

Finished another #3dprinting project: #KlackEnder for the #elegoo #Neptune4! Works like a charm!

Stupid me, why did *not* check if the connectors fit *before* I put the whole thing together?

Time for an upgrade - hopefully no more "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" just to see what the nozzle is doing. Non-planar slicing next?

(I have my printer on the floor for extra anti-vibration protection).
