I've been 3D-printing for around five and a half years. So I'm not a rookie, but I just made a #rookie #mistake.
I've spent the last couple of weeks making compartments and dividers and such for the toolboxes I take to the Repair Cafe. Lots of test #prints to check fits and footprints, full prints, changes to design based on lessons learned during use at the last cafe, etc. I've put around three kilograms of #filament through my printer in that time.
Then, in the last couple days, I started having various problems. At first they only showed up on big prints - #adhesion and #curling, which I've had before when pushing the limits of my bed size. But prints seemed to be getting #sloppier, and I had a couple of spaghetti explosions.
Tonight, I finally took the #hotend apart and looked at it closely - it's very difficult to do when the printer is fully assembled, because it's a #delta printer.
Lo and behold, the nozzle appeared worn. And that can account for all the problems.
I should have checked this sooner - but I've only been printing plain #PLA, nothing abrasive, so I didn't think of it. Lesson learned.
Pardon the shitty photo from a cheap digital magnifier. The old #nozzle #orifice is about 1.5x the diameter of the new one - so 2.25x the area. No wonder plastic was going everywhere but where it should go!
Seems to be printing *much* better with a new nozzle.

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! -

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! -

Looks like I'll be having a #hotend upgrade/refresh, either I want it or not. #fml
Remember kids, never leave your #3DPrinter unattended. That's my free #3DPrinting tip for you today. -
