  1. 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 😱

  2. 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!
  3. 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

  7. How is this supposed to work efficiently?
    1. The heatbreak is assembled inside the heatsink which creates a warmer environment for it (no fesh air)
    2. The hot block is bolted to the heatsink which is again warming up the surrounding of the heatbreak
    3. There is a lot of mass between the fins and the heatbreak tube. Ideally you want fins and airflow as close as possible to the heatbreak
    4. As usual no recommended fan specs, what did they use for testing then?

  8. So the upgrade is installed, the bed is releveled and the first testprint is done.
    So far no leaking or any other problems with the new nozzle/hotend 😁 Now let's do a Calidragon and check how that will go 🧐

  9. Got a massive clog on my ender 2 machine which requires me to disassemble the whole hot end 🙈 perfect timing to switch to an all-metal one 😁 The parts should arrive today. Looking forward to fix this dude 😎

  14. One thing that is rarely tested is that the faster you print, the weaker the layer adhesion. I'm pleased to finally see a video demonstrating this problem. These tests are only made with PLA and a single hotend, but it is a great start to see how quickly it can drop.

  15. One of the most interesting 3D printing tech video I have seen in a while. Building an extruder isn't just about push force and weight, it is a lot more complex. To the point it is really difficult to make an in depth review. We can see how advanced E3D is in their R&D. Also, some good questions from Stefan and Tom.
