2021/11/29 | 1,284 | 5,285 | <issue_start>username_0: Forgive this long-winded post, but I thought it would be helpful to include the back story leading up to a very scary situation on my Ender 3.
I was printing a job and everything started out fine just like it normally does. I'm not sure if it is related, but partway through the job, there was ... |
2021/12/01 | 612 | 2,344 | <issue_start>username_0: I want to make an anime-style figurine in Blender with long strands of wavy hair coming down from pigtails, similar to sailor moon, but more so.
They are going to be extremely challenging to print in place as they will be very thin and difficult to support.
Would it be possible simply to prin... |

2021/12/05 | 481 | 1,855 | <issue_start>username_0: My new Ender 5 Plus' Bowden tube keeps popping out of its socket on the extruder mid-print, I've tried several times and it keeps doing it even though it's locked into place securely at the start every time. Is this a known issue? And how do I resolve it?
I just got it so I doubt it's the coup... |
2021/12/09 | 1,075 | 4,463 | <issue_start>username_0: I have been trying to make some small signs, and to highlight the text by changing between black and white filament at a layer just above where the text comes out of the back plate.
I've used Cura 4.12 and the "change filament" script to make the printer pause at the right layer. The change an... |
2021/12/09 | 1,053 | 3,683 | <issue_start>username_0: I am having two separate issues. One is specific to this particular model, the other is on all my prints, but more pronounced on 90° vertical walls.
The first issue is a localized area of under extrusion only in one area of the print. This issue is specific to this model. The second issue is e... |
2021/12/12 | 363 | 1,361 | <issue_start>username_0: I literally just started OpenSCAD today, so please take it easy on me, but is shell scripting possible with OpenSCAD? as in, to write a script in the OpenSCAD syntax, and have it output images, or animations? with or without having to render the image.
I've been reading the man pages, and I'm ... |
2021/12/12 | 1,348 | 5,427 | <issue_start>username_0: Most people, articles, videos, etc. refer to printing speed by linear speed (mm/s), but a lot of YouTubers prefer to talk about volumetric flow (mm3/s) (mm cubed per second). I suspect that at some point in the past year or three, some of the more engineer-y types switched to this new measureme... |
2021/12/12 | 1,391 | 5,065 | <issue_start>username_0: I've heard that PETG, what we print with, is slightly different than PET or PETE, which is commercially available. Yet, PET bottles seem easy enough to recycle into prints according to these videos:
#1 Multicolor printing-Details of free filament production from recycled bottle (PET)for 3D pri... |
2021/12/15 | 1,243 | 3,137 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a new Creality Ender 2 Pro with a Creality 4.2.3 mainboard. I'm attempting to compile Marlin to fix a bug. How can I tell what driver chips I have on this board?
I've narrowed it down to likely `A4988` or `TMC2208_STANDALONE` or possibly the `TMC2225`. Strangely Creality only has docume... |
2021/12/15 | 592 | 1,710 | <issue_start>username_0: Why do concrete 3D printers lay the concrete in a zigzag shape? I know pouring it in a straight line makes it unstable, but the zigzag shape reduces the contact of the top layer to the layer below. What is the advantage?<issue_comment>username_1: According to ['The-EG' comment](https://github.c... |
2021/12/16 | 769 | 2,211 | <issue_start>username_0: It seems there are some missing lines on the outer wall on the Z-axis with my prints. I'm not able to pinpoint the problem. Does anyone have ideas about what might be wrong with my setup/settings?
Example:
[, they list the stepper motors as being compatible with both the MK2 *and* the MK3 even though they run at different voltages.

2021/12/20 | 1,343 | 4,771 | <issue_start>username_0: I'd like to print a cylinder, 50 mm diameter, 200 mm long, with 1.5 mm diameter holes tightly fit like this:

2021/12/20 | 698 | 2,822 | <issue_start>username_0: the [3D Benchy](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622) is everywhere. It is one of **the** top test prints if you look away from a simple cube.
But what makes the Benchy a good test print at all? It does have almost no critical dimensions that would be measurable to see if the printer is ca... |
2021/12/22 | 629 | 2,545 | <issue_start>username_0: It seems that a Bowden extruder is the most used in all cheap 3D printers by far compared to Direct Drive that is very rare under 500 USD machines. But I haven't understood the reason, since in terms of hardware a direct drive doesn't seem to have any impact on price more than Bowden (correct m... |

My entire home ends up filled with cancerous fumes and there's no way I'm baking any food in my oven ever again. I've tried different types of Nylon, ASA, and P... |
