RE: 3D Printing Lessons Learned and Farm Upgrades

in Homesteadinglast month

I've been thinking about potentially buying a new 3D printer, one that also comes with a dryer etc or maybe even multi filament dryer with auto switch and all that fancy jazz.

Been spending the last couple of days trying to get my dads old ender 5 pro running, figured out the firmware it was on was buggered, went back to the rubbish original firmware as a hailmary to make sure the machine wasn't mechanically busted.

It works now but still doesn't print properly, base adhesion issues, z offset issues among others, plus it's deathly slow giving it's just an old printer.

Makes getting a modern one just.. better if not to not have to deal with the headache of calibrating and sorting out the one we have atm.

Sort:  

Bambu Lab have some deals on their systems. I am tempted by their AMS (multi-reel unit with dryer), but I may wait a bit. I am impressed with the A1 printer I bought.
