    3D print : Superman

    First time I am not eager to paint it. It took so long to get printed, I don't want to ruin all the hard works by my hand painting. Besides, Testor enamel paint is criminally expensive. A quarter ounce bottle runs in between $17-$20 CND. 1/4 ounce ! That large Superman cape could use up most of...

    3D print : Superman

    I failed to get the base (stand) printed. So, I used another "round base" gcode file from another model > printed it > drilled a hole at the middle > hot glued the rod into the hole > voila, a Superman stand.

    I need clarification.......

    Thank you. I have not bought another printer. Not yet. My query is a "for future reference" purpose.

    I need clarification.......

    My printer is Creality Ender 3. My slicer is Cura 4.3 which is added to my printer. Scenario : 1. I made a gcode file A using Cura 4.3 which had Ender 3 as the network printer. 2. Now I bought another printer, say, Monoprice Select Mini, and I added it to my Cura 4.3. 3. So, now I had 2...

    For a newbie like me, other than the fact that Ender 3 has a much larger build plate, I prefer Monoprice Select Mini over Ender 3. Very tempted to buy another MP Select Mini.

    Consider this "case closed." 4 and a half hours into printing X-Wing, no support distortion issue. (X-wing is 300% of the stl file.)

    I think I have found the cause of the "supports tilting sideways" issue. The problem is.…... When I first got my new Creality Ender 3, I tried to add it to my Cura. However, at that time, when I hit Add > Other > Ender 3 was not on the list. CR-10 was. So I chose that. Apparently that causes the...

    Think I've found it. Z hop when retracted. The box is unchecked. Do I check that box ?

    That reminds me. I did watched one of those u-tubes, and it showed how to change a setting in Cura so that the hot end will avoid hitting a support as it moves along. But I don't have it on file.

    I threw them out in disgust. Unusual noise...…... Once in a while I would hear a click as if the nozzle scratched across some of the supports as it moved sideways. I can't prove that. It just sounds that way. I did check the bed leveling (hell, I should be pretty good on that by now). Nozzle is...

    Need help..........Printing problems with Creality Ender 3. Update: Solved. 10/07/19

    A very good chance that is the case. Right now, I am printing an X-wing. The size is 150% of the original stl file, horizontally oriented. So far there is not distortion on the supports. However, I never printed an X-wing or any space ships less than 200%. So, after this one is done, I might...

    The "centering" issue is fixed. Thank you. Now, hope against all hopes, I am printing a X-wing, again.

    I am presently printing the Ball-inside -a-Cube model. It's printing properly...… so far. I'll check the Printer Settings after that.
