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

    I have at least 2 issues : 1. The printing does not start at the center of the bed, It always starts closer to the right side and a little towards the back. See screenshot...…. printing Elmer Fudd I know how to use the slicer to center the model at the middle of the build grid before...

    Creality Ender 3

    Question to all ……………... Is there a magnetic bed plate available for Ender 3 ? I know there is "glass" plate bed. But I need to use clips to hold it to the heating platform. A magnetic one would be nice.

    Creality Ender 3

    Here is another print from Ender 3 preinstalled gcode file : Isn't it wonderful to be able to have a printed model that has absolutely no supports ? The materials saved. Time saved on printing and on trimming out the supports. Too bad not all models can be done without supports.

    Creality Ender 3

    Surprise, surprise. It was a piggy bank I was printing. Not a dog. A real surprise is ….. except at the base, there was no supports anywhere. The body inside is hollow. Nice. Save a lot of material, not to mention time to print. I like it.

    Creality Ender 3

    Thank you. A little too technical to me since I don't know how to use the slicer and its settings.

    Creality Ender 3

    One strange puzzle...…. I have been using Cura 3.4.1 So, when I "add a printer" to Cura, the printer list under "Other" does not have Ender3. Creality CR-10 is on the list, but no Ender 3. I manually entered Creality 3D Ender 3, and when I opened Cura and selected Ender 3, the "bed" diagram was...

    My 3D printer has gone kaput!

    Sadly, the first scenario applies...….. filament does not melt at all.

    My 3D printer has gone kaput!

    Correct. Hot end is hot, but filament cannot pass through.

    My 3D printer has gone kaput!

    Monoprice Select Mini V2 Problem : The nozzle must be frozen solid. Plastic cannot pass through. I used to be able to pull the filament out > cut off the "deformed" part of the filament > reinsert back to the tube > give the filament a pushed at the end > and the nozzle will start ejecting...

    A problem on printing

    Thank you. But "height" appears not the culprit. In the last 2 incidents, it happened in different heights. I am just a newbie. I do not have the know-how on editing or creating a gcode. I use only one brand of filament...… Hatchbox PLA 1.75mm.

    Printer speed

    My printer is Monoprice Select Mini V2. I use exclusively PLA 1.75mm filament. Question : What do I need to be aware of if I increase the print speed. I've been on 0.13 ever since day one. If I do increase the speed, which setting is "safer"? Screenshot of my printer's available speed selections:
