>What printer should I buy? [Last updated 4-7-2020]
Under 250 USD: Creality Ender 3 Pro, Anycubic i3 Mega
Under 500 USD: Creality CR-10, Anycubic Chiron, or Qidi X-One2/X-Smart/X-Maker
Under 1000 USD: Prusa i3
Over 1000 USD: lulzbot is (mostly) dead
SLA: Anycubic Photon, Prusa SL1, Formlabs Form 3, Elegoo Mars

Instead of buying a new printer, you could consider building your own: https://reprap.org/wiki/

Almost done. Just have to pick up some laser cut parts for the bed and then I can start properly wiring everything.

This print head desing isn't the final one. This one had problems with bending over time deu to the force from the belts, next version doesn't have this problem and it will swappable head so I can easily switch types of nozzles/hot ends.

At one point this used to be a ultimaker original but all that is left are some of the motors and screws.

I have dialed them in with a dial indicator (I do this very offer with bigger mills as well) and some shims so they don't wiggle more then 0.1mm. But even if they wiggle that much it's no problem since the linear rails give so much rigidity that the wiggling is isolated at the lead screw.

I have an ender 3 I'm looking to print diorama terrain bits and pieces on. I'm about to install a 0.2 nozzle, and I'm printing at slow speeds to get the highest quality I can get out of it. Does any one have any suggestions I wouldn't usually run across? I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on guys printing stuff and using their settings got me worse results than my own settings did. I'm using basic PLA and getting okay results out of it. I don't mind doing some putty work, using filler primer or sanding things to get them looking good. I have to do that with purchased models any way

Don't suggest resin printers. I'm disabled and dealing with hazardous materials is out of the question. I bought the ender over the elegoo mars because of these difficulties.

Is there a good stl piracy site out there for /tg/ stuff? There's so many patreon limited edition models that disappear after short windows. I don't mind supporting good creators (And I have bought stls) but there's not good ways to test models out before you pony up the cash. I'd be much happier being able to print things and then if they were well designed purchase them. Like Vidya piracy where I'll pirate a game as a demo and if I played more than an hour I'll go buy it.

If you suspect a model of having problems you should be able to see these problems when you preview your g-code after slicing; the g-code cannot lie.
Run your model through Microsoft's 3D builder software and it will repair any issues which would cause bad prints due to the model itself.

I can't remember the temps, but you can't print high temp stuff on the CR-10 until after you upgrade it to a full metal hot end. The heater cartridge will happily go well past 350 degrees, but by that time you'll have melted the PTFE tube and released some seriously toxic gasses, you don't want to be going past 250 if you can avoid it.

I'll thinking of replicating this general design with a 400x1000 bed.
Would it be better to have the long side on the y or the x? I'm kind of leaning to have it be sideways to keep the bulk down.

as long as you use one rail you should be fine, maybe a beefier one tho, you don't want wobble, so use lots of mounting screws
use multiple heated beds(you can buy silicone ones with adhesive for your own beds) and a relay board. you could use the fan pins to control them as heating zones but you'd need a hotend thermocouple expansion. (but by this point you should use a duet or a board with expansion capabilities, duet natively supports multiple heaters/sensors set to any compatible pin in the firmware.

Good deal, but it's clearly a CNC mill, most of it is too chunky to make an efficient printer. For example you can't drive those big NEMA23 motors with tiny Pololu drivers - you need to use external ones, or a board with beefy built-in ones like the Duet3. And even then you're not benefitting much, if at all, from their extra torque. If it were me, i'd either keep it as a mill or try to scavenge the rails, extrusions, dragchains etc. for another project.

I would not use anything made from aluminum extrusions as a cnc mill unless the extrusions were just a skeleton within a big epoxy granite slab or something. The compound Z axis would also be a tramming/rigidity nightmare and I would want ballscrews on all axis, no belt drives.

I'm looking to get into 3d printing to print my own 6mm minis for epic Armageddon. I see you've got a list of recommended SLA printers in the OP. Is there any reason to choose one over the other? Also, while I'm asking stupid questions, has anyone bought a refurbished 3d printer instead of new? A seller on ebay has a refurbished mars pro for 180, shipping included. I'm wondering if that would be a bad idea to pick up as a first printer. Sorry if I missed a link that answers these questions.

Don't get a resin printer as your first. You can print epic stuff fine with a 0.2 nozzle. You should also get a kit you self assemble so you understand how it works. There's loads of fiddling and mechanical tinkering you will want to do and it's better to know the machine. I was going to buy a pre built one and was recommended not to, understood why after I'd finish building it. I knew how to adjust things and correct small imperfections. Would of been nice if the machine base was better put together so it didn't take me several hours because the fan cover was too far over and I thought I was messing up not the cover needed moving over. The place I bought from signed my email and phone number up to a bunch of spammers as well.

PID parameters control when to turn on and off heating to reach and hold the temperature readings on desired level. PID parameters have nothing to do with incorrect temperature readings.

Temperature readings are controlled by thermistor tables. Such table is a set of points: ADC output and corresponding temperature.
Take a look here: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/2.0.x/Marlin/src/module/thermistor
This data is used to estimate temperature from ADC output.

The pic shows how voltage changes with temperature for some particular circuit and sensor.
This obviously depends on the sensor and at least one resistor on a board that is in series with the sensor.
When you swapped the board, you may have changed a part of temp-measuring circuit that is on the board.

Although Marlin is a terrible spaghetti patchwork of code, it is pretty well documented how to set this up.
You need to set "#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 XXX" to a nonzero value XXX that selects proper table for your hardware. There's a reference here: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/2.0.x/Marlin/Configuration.h#L359

I'm guessing it has to do with the workflow of a resin printer. Once you print you need to wash the minis in isopropyl alcohol and the UV cure them. Plus resin is a liquid that's a skin, eye, and lung irritant. So it's less idiot proof that spooled plastic filament as far as material safety is concerned.

I mean sure but FDM just lacks that completely, so when you get your first resin printer you're gonna have to deal with that for the first time regardless of whether you have FDM experience or not. So I still don't see why one should start with FDM before getting an SLA.

Resin is really dangerous to work with and most people aren't going to handle it properly. It's something you fuck up and can end up dead or seriously injured from. 3d printing technology in general is cheap crap made in China then sold at a premium. Given a few more years the technology will refine it's self into being user friendly and safer. Systems that print and cure resin internally instead of making you smosh around buckets of hazardous chemicals

Resin is also dangerous to work with. You need to wear a mask (a mask, not the dumb shit corona masks people think protect them from fumes). And goggles while cutting or sanding it. Failure to do so results in either lung cancer long term or scarring lungs short term. I've heard stories of guys not handling resin models properly and getting lung damage from it in a single night. Resin was always a dirty cheap option for hobbyists to produce models quick, cheap and high detailed. It's not something the average person should be messing with on a whim.

As an experienced autist making models there's few things harder to work with than resin. If you're just learning the ropes and getting your set up sorted resin adds multiple difficult steps to deal with. If you're printing shit for epic scale models or your DnD nights you're better off using FDM because no one gives a shit at that scale or just putting dudes in the table. Risking your health to print pin head sized space wizards is stupid. Get FDM print off your shit and by the time it's painted on the table no one's going to see the lines. Especially if you get a smaller nozzle.

First printer you're going to print loads of dumb stuff on. You're going to find cool paint racks you want. Upgrades to your printer or a really cool paint brush stand. Printing that in resin is more expensive and hazardous for no real benefit. It's like buying your first car. You get something cheap and reliable in you can have a few fender benders in before you buy a nice car.

There's nothing wrong with having that nice resin printer for making models. If possible I would have one resin and one FDM printer and use them to compliment each other. Your first roll of filament is going to print a bunch of shit you had no plans on printing when you bought it. You browse thingiverse and go "Oh hey I want that" and end up printing it off as you adjust your settings. Everyone does it so to may as well plan for it then buy the specialist printer at a later date.

If you want a resin printer for fine detail and delicate prints, just get it first but do a lot of research. I spent so long trying to dial my FDM printers into that perfect Goldilocks zone for 28mm tabletop models and the very first prints I got off of my Mars blew them away. Get water washable resin if you don't want to worry/can't get ahold of isopropyl alcohol, get some rolls of paper towels, a proper UV curing light, a box of nitrile gloves, a quality p100 respirator (good luck these days) and some goggles and you're good to go.
Plenty of info on YouTube on proper handling/processing, honestly it's not as bad as some fearmongerers would have you believe. Just don't be fucking stupid and you won't win stupid prizes.

Just don't ever have an accident or your carpet needs to be entirely removed. Don't forget to open a window or you can Holocaust yourself..

Give it a few years and resin printers will become enclosed and functional consumer devices. As it stands now they're hobbyist novelties that need to nature as a technology. We're just starting to see screens made for them instead of reusing smart phones screens..FDM is starting to see compact prebuilt high quality machines so resin ones will slowly mature as well. We'll move behind cheap crappy work around a to functional machines that just work. Same way computers refined into game consoles.

First big problem. Monoprice Mini Delta. Printing gray PLA no problem. Switch to gloss red PLA for a few prints, no problem. Switch to gold PLA, have some layer adhesion problems, crank temp up a bit, gets real stringy but prints fine (1). Switch back to gray, reprint same model at same elevated temp for direct comparison. It fails(2). All indications are the filament stopped advancing. Everything looks fine (3) but the extruder is clicking and the PLA is bouncing and not advancing. Preheating and manually feeding it as if changing filament only extrudes a bit but nothing else. Pull back filament a bit, nothing. Use nozzle tool for first time and poke back to filament. Seems clear for several inches (back out filament and needle advances). Remove filament, end is melted, looks normal (4). Cut at 45º and reinsert. There is a slightly tough part to get it through a few inches back from head, like I'm pushing through wet paste maybe, but the filament advances without much force so I don't worry. Did this while preheating, at temp manually feeding does nothing even when pushing hard enough to bend filament only releases the tiniest bit of PLA. There seems to be filament in the tube (6) and nothing foreign. Remove and the end is melted but frayed (7) not smooth.

Preheating and advancing the extruder via menu just makes extruder click, the filament jumps but doesn't advance and PLA doesn't extrude. Upon manual inspection the tip is hot. Printing goes through the motions but deposits nothing. I returned to my normal heat setting (190º, had been printing gold at 200º but the gold extruded fine at 190º)

So I'm pretty sure the filament is hung up but it seems worst than is possible, comes back out fine and is heating but won't extrude. No visual problems, I just wan to know what to start tearing into or testing instead of just beginning to remove things hoping I'll find something obvious.

What are my steps to determine the problem? Where do I start?

No. It's your brain on someone who was alive at the time. Early computers compared to a master system or nes is a world of difference. it's nothing like today's PCs were and things didn't drastically improve until the late 90s with windows xp. Printers today still use dials and buttons. Technology forgotten even to basic phones. It's all way out dated and will slowly improve. The pursa models are starting to get there and are the first signs of a mature technology instead of a hobbyist one.

What's the best way to flash ender 3 firmware? I'm seeing kits on eBay you plug into a computer and switch out one plug on the printer. Other tutorials are for single wire connections. I'm leaning towards the kit but want to ask for advice before I do it.

You people know nothing. The NES and master systems ability to smoothly scroll a screen was completely out of reach for PCs of the era. They couldn't display as many colours and had poor input devices. This was during the keyboard only era of PCs. Mice were a novelty and not made standard until windows 95 took off. Then while windows was maturing and becoming a work environment the PlayStation hit. Which could do 3d graphics way beyond the PC tech of the time. PCs then started to add graphics cards to catch up to the consoles of the era. PlayStation 2 and DVDs, ps3 and Blu Ray. PC is constantly playing catch up to consumer electronics. That's why PCs are a hobbyist machine and a console is a mature technology. It's not until the last few generations where the technology has stagnated that you see PCs being the forerunner over consoles. But even then the price of hobbyist parts and functionality are still sketchy. If you want a recent example for those who just hit puberty SSDs have just crossed the line. The hobbyist could have one if they made four times the price of a HDD for a quarter of the storage. Now they're refined enough to be used in consumer electronics (consoles) and to compete with the price of a HDD. And even if you want to argue PC is superior, it's at this point a consumer machine more than a hobbyist one. Windows is a consumer friendly OS, Linux is a hobbyist one. If you understand that comparison you will understand why one is a mature technology and the others a gimmick people use as a hobby or exception.

There has been a long time since I've heard such a compilation of bullshits.

I had no interests in computers before Win 3.1, but all starting from that time you write about is wrong.

> Mice were a novelty and not made standard until windows 95 took off
Mice were standard at the times of Windows 3.1, UI of most programs at that time was designed to be mouse-oriented.

>Then while windows was maturing and becoming a work environment
Windows 3.1 was already a mature work environment with a large choice of software (much larger than nowadays - for instance try to name five word processors nowadays).

>PCs then started to add graphics cards
PCs had graphics cards from when I remember.
To be honest, I never saw (apart form museums) a PC running without a graphic card.

>PC is constantly playing catch up to consumer electronics. That's why PCs are a hobbyist machine and a console is a mature technology.
Console is a dedicated hardware for one purpose - games.
PCs are not built for games. Ability to run a game is just one (and not a major one) feature looking at the market. PCs are workstations and for some time were web browsers.

>If you want a recent example for those who just hit puberty SSDs have just crossed the line.
SSDs became a mature technology when the technology allowed the manufacturers to guarantee long time data retention. This happened a decade ago.

>if they made four times the price of a HDD for a quarter of the storage
That's stupid to compare prices for a different class of hardware. Tapes would win in your comparison. Tapes are still the storage of choice in many cases for a reason.

>And even if you want to argue PC is superior, it's at this point a consumer machine more than a hobbyist one.
You say that PCs are inferior to what? To consoles? Do you mean "consoles are better to play games than personal computers"? Who would have guessed that for games hardware made for games is better than hardware made for other purposes!

>Changed nozzle recently
bingo.
Not all nozzles, even from the same pack or manufacturer aren't exactly the same and won't screw in exactly the same distance. I level my bed with every single nozzle change (or in my case, change the z-offset on my bltouch).

Anonymous Wed Jul 29 16:10:58 2020 No.1875253

gamer tip:
lots of people with miscalibrated ABL distance and the "prevent moving outside axis limits" safety settings (won't allow negative z babystepping) should change the 0 position slightly lower than the paper gripping point because even if you hand level the ABL sensor will force the nozzle z up higher.

god I speak english and even I cant understand what I wrote back there
okay you have your ABL, it touches the bed while the nozzle is a certain distance above, you set the offset in firmware usually by hand homing then probing the point and calculating the difference.
the problem is when you use the ABL for homing, as the sensor triggers where the bed is, not where a fixed z home switch is, so if you adjust the bed in order to have the nozzle lower for a print, the ABL will reset it on the next homing. When negative axis values are disabled, you can't baby step that difference; so if your paper homed offset is too high, you won't be able to get a good squish.
by just increasing that offset by one/two millimeters, then using babystepping to move the nozzle back home, you can babystep without disabling safety features that can break your nozzle AND you can do things like nozzle swaps without having to redo the offset for a minor change in nozzle height.

Is there a support builder that can build vertical supports between models?

I've got some models, 28mm figures to be precise, that I want to print in vast quantities. I can fit 6 on my plate, but I'm wondering if there's a way to add another row and have supports build out to them from the previous layer. And if itd fuck up the previous layer or be too heavy

Anyone had experience with this?

it's got a secondary y axis too, on rack and pinion, that looks like it just clacks a plastic block into the plunger unit. Maybe to shake stuff loose?

Hey guys, anyone has an idea on why my Elegoo doesn't save the bed calibration? I did all the steps of the calibration correctly, hell even the rook came out amazingly nice, but for some reason, the calibration was never saved and the next time I tried to do a print, the plate presses against the screen and keeps trying to go down, making a BRRRR sound due to pressure probably.
So I do all the steps again and set the axis to 0 but when I start a print, again the calibration isn't saved and starts pressing the bed again.
The process is also random, sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't and I have to do the calibration process again hoping this time the set Z=0 is actually saved.
Anyone knows what could be happening? I kind of fixed it by loosing the screws, starting a print, wait for first layer, pause, tighten the screws. But it's far from ideal.

Looking at the accuracy of gears in the cheap market drills you can give it a try.
A couple of ideas:
- print it from PA (nylon) or at least PET-G - ABS sands away at high speeds, PLA softens at 60°C,
- consider a planetary gear (see na example: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1049401)) - it can withstand larger forces without breaking
- consider aluminium lost PLA casting

The damn adjustment screws are thumbscrews with a head about 4.5mm in diameter, 4mm tall and accessed through a 7mm hole about 50mm deep. WTF? Couldn't even reach them with hemostats.
Set them at one turn and made a tool like a piece of tubing with a tapered hole on one end and an oval handle on the other end. Worked like a charm and took me about 20min to design, 20 minutes to print. About the time it would have took me to disassemble and reassemble the thing to change adjustments.

I got a v6 clone and in any case when the nozzle is not tightened to the heat break the heat block is wobbly, so it's hard to miss that you did something wrong.
I usually first tighten the nozzle to the heat block, then turn the heat block until it tightens to the heat break.
The only time when something leaked is when I did not tighten it after switching to higher-temp material (PLAPA).

Only ever install/remove/adjust nozzles when hot. If you have crap in the threads (which invariably happens), it softens when heated. Aluminum expands more than brass when heated, so unless the nozzle is tight to the rest of the assembly, if you install it cold, it's almost guaranteed to loosen and leak.

if you ripped the game files, look to see if you can also rip the textures. see if theres a "normal map" or "displacement map"

then look up a tutorial on converting a displacement or normal map to geometry. should give the model a lot more detail.

video game models convert all high detail polygonal data to specific types of texture map images, and in the engine those images make the model look detailed, but only use a lower polygon wireframe for the actual model.

if you can get those maps and reverse the process, you can get a much more detailed version of the model that more closely resembles the in-game detail.

>>1876716
yeah, no prob. dont know how familiar you are with zbrush, but when game developers make a model for a game like a character they use the subdivision levels in the geometry menu. the highest detail is sculpted on the highest subdivision level, say level 5 or 6 (your 10 million polygon zbrush model), while the base model that is actually used in game is at level 1 (usually well below 100k poly, sometimes as low as 500-1k for indie type models).

when they export it to be used for a game engine, they export the level 1 model for rigging, animation, and use in engine, and export level 6 as a normal or displacement map, which is then applied via shader in the engine. in the engine, the normal map tells the light which way to bounce, so the model will always look like the high poly version everywhere except at the edges of the silhouette.

you are basically trying to reverse that process. pic related illustrates what's going on. normal maps will look like that grey-ish purple image

Ohh makes sense. That's why the Yharnam hunter looked incredibly low poly huh even though it's a PS4 model and looked beautifully in game. Dunno if people managed to rip the displacement and normal maps from the game though, gonna check it out with the tool the main ripper provided.

I ant to learn it for myself. I got some ideas no one else has ever made and I want to get them out of my head and on the table top.

my FLGS owner has a elegoo mars he is willing to part with for cheap to make space for the Saturn. I want to make minis on it for SPECTRE: OPERATIONS, from COD, Far Cry, and whatever I can learn to get out of the files of games. I'm not looking to sell them just make a few for myself and friends for sheer trolling purposes. I will mostly use the printer to make very very lewd scale models of some of those fan made videos using the game engine of the female characters being risque on up to tentacles in places God never intended.

I'm trying to SLA print dice for masters and it's driving me up the walls.
If I try printing them angled, they always end up slightly contorted and parallelepiped.
If I try printing it planar, the face with the supports ends up warped and rounded, but not in a way where I could sand excess off, instead shit's just MISSING. I've already noticed on some prints, especially angled discs, that the first few layers seem to just go missing and I end up with a disk that has has a weird flat top, and maybe it's the same problem here, but I can't figure out the reason.

I'm on a Photon and I already figured out that the problems are way worse with white resin. With grey, the planar prints are still completely fucked but the angled ones are only slightly parallelepiped. Playing around with exposure times has helped a bit on the white, not so much on grey. What am I fucking up here? I just want cubes that look good to the naked eye.

Either try a brim or use a glue stick on the plate.
Also try cleaning the plate with iso before the glue. Oils on the plate mean it usually won't stick. Pre-defined models usually use better first layer settings like 150% layer height, 150% layer width, very slow speeds etc.

I find the resin to be less of a mess and even with cure time it's faster. The resin I'm using hardly has an odor and it beats the sound of a printer anyway. Post-processing is at least something I have control over instead of finding out a day and a half into a print that something hitched up with the filament/extruder/hotend/enclosure temperature, or bearings for a millisecond and ruined the whole thing.

I'd like to see the details on that claim. It certainly would be possible to make something like that in multiple small parts, but I can't see any seem lines that should still be there.
I suspect what is more likely is that a 3D model was cut up with indexing features. printed and reassembled, then cleaned up, gap filled and blended in to create a master for resin casting. In that case the resin printer is simply usurping the role of the traditionally sculpted clay model but the final product is still not directly printed.

when people post pics they should mention the size of the objects they made. it would help put into perspective how much room is there for detail . for instance yours looks like a table top figure but i dont know if you made everything custom or if your adding to existing collection. you could be doing everything at 1.5 times scale for all i know

this would allow people to understand the limitations of their own 3d printer set up and adjust where needed to get the level of detail they want even if its a little bigger than the original concept

FDM printers are cheaper for the same size, I think it's less work, and I've read SLA parts can be irritating to the skin eg if used for headphone plugs. Also, not everyone needs the fine details or smooth surfaces. Then there are FDMs with multicolor support. For very small parts I think SLA would be more interesting, but FDM should be considered to be the to go standard.

Resin is amazing, but it's also a chore. Handling the fucking resin is a pain in the ass, gets everywhere and you can't just wash it off if it gets in you. I mean, the result is completely worth it but damn. Also, add like 100 bucks extra from the curing station + materials and you have to consider that resin is like 40% more expensive than filament plus buying Isoprpyl Alcohol and nitrile gloves constantly. I've seen that there's water washable resins now but still.

Connector might be flipped. I don't have a CR-10 so I don't know if the socket is polarized/will fit that way. Check with another stepper to see if it rotates the same way.

Make sure the power to the whole printer is off before you ever do anything with steppers, otherwise you'll probably fry the board.

Depends. Could be a wiring issue, but far more likely to be a firmware issue. When you say you "nabbed" one, do you mean it's second hand? It could be that the previous owner tried to update the firmware and got the stepper direction wrong.
I'd recommend using the TH3D unified firmware. Just edit the configuration.h file and uncomment all the parts that pertain to your printer (they'll be labelled), then flash it to your printer with the arduino IDE. If that doesn't fix the problem, there'll be a section where you can change the extruder direction without having to fiddle with wires.

I believe the best way to fill the glasses evenly is to pour the liquid inside a (thin at the bottom) cylinder. This should separate turbulences you create when pouring the liquid from the hydrostatic pressure on the exits. You need to make sure that the diameters of the outputs are consistent, and that when you're pouring something inside, keep the level reasonably above the exits.

all of you are tards. Neither SLA or FDM is "better" than the other. FDM has impact resistance, is generally faster, and can have a mix of several materials (like filament reinforcement, elastomers, different support material). SLA is more detailed and can handle more intricate geometry. They've each got their uses.

can anyone identify what printer this is based on the control panel? I printed some stuff with it when I was at community college, but the lab assistant always set it up for me. there was also one that was fucking huge, like refridgerator size.
