2022/05/28 | 1,559 | 6,712 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm new to 3D printing and I was wondering about the risks of leaving my printer to print overnight? I'm aware that if something goes wrong I'll wake up to spaghetti for breakfast but what are the other things like having the nozzle and bed heated that long? And, when it's done it just sits the... |
2022/05/28 | 1,555 | 6,606 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm having a lot of issues leveling my printer and one failed print came out like this. Is there something wrong with the surface that I need a new bed? This happens to me quite often and I literally can't get it off.

2022/05/30 | 1,813 | 7,317 | <issue_start>username_0: I've tried printing in vase mode (or "spiralise outer contour" in Cura) and while the floor looks fine, the vertical sides look "saggy"
I'm using a 0.4 mm nozzle, with eSUN PLA+ at 218 °C and a bed temp of 60 °C. This combination works fine for normal printing. Layer height is 0.28 mm (Low Qua... |
2022/06/01 | 563 | 2,235 | <issue_start>username_0: I run a non-profit designed to expose high school students to 3D printing and entrepreneurship. The concept is based on pop-up shop-style sales of 3D printed trinkets, toys, artifacts, etc.
Can I legally sell models we print from the many open source and publicly available museum collections t... |
2022/06/03 | 598 | 2,043 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently adding a fillet to the base of an object (the plane that's touching the bed) and I was curious if the radius of the filet contributed to any mis-prints. I've had luck so far but was wondering if the intensity of the radius had mattered.
I am using the Ender3 Pro.

2022/06/04 | 954 | 3,687 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently bought a Creality Ender 3 V2. I have heard that it is best to use a raft when printing. I have tried to use a raft a few different times using PLA, with different settings each time. When I try to peel the raft off of the print, it will snap around the bottom of the print. Are there ... |
2022/06/06 | 1,014 | 3,913 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently ripped a piece off of a nitro RC car I have. Seeing as I cannot find a direct replacement at the moment, I modeled it and it seems easy to 3d print.
My main concern is how heat resistant the replacement will be - this is a combined structural/exhaust heat deflector piece.

2022/06/06 | 1,562 | 6,053 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm pretty new to 3D printing, got my printer about 5 days ago and spent most of my time with it.
First off, it is an Ender 3 Pro with everything stock, haven't made any upgrades except I run it with OctoPrint from a Raspberry Pi Zero but I have determined that's not the source of the problem ... |
2022/06/11 | 445 | 1,417 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently burnt out one of the MOSFETS on my RAMPS 1.4 board on my Sintron Kossel clone so have upgraded it to a RAMPS 1.6.
Now my printer seems to only print 50 % of the intended size.
After the machine homes it only comes down about 50 % of the distance and so starts printing in mid air.

Is there a way to make 3D prints airtight?<issue_comment>username_1: Yes.
The issue is, that there are small ... |

2022/06/13 | 919 | 3,635 | <issue_start>username_0: I am trying to create a two-piece snap-fit or joint using a 3D printer (Resin). After that, I plan to coat the joint with a conductive spray and create an electrical connection when the two pieces are joined together.

2022/06/15 | 1,140 | 4,387 | <issue_start>username_0: The object on the right is a basic C channel, the outer surface should be smooth but the first ~5 mm of filament is missing after every layer change. In this example, the missing filament is reasonably consistent and extreme. The object on the left (from the same print) has a seam where the fil... |

2022/07/02 | 1,713 | 5,774 | <issue_start>username_0: I bought an Ender 3 recently and it has the 4.2.2 Creality board. Then I bought a BLTouch to upgrade it with bed leveling. It turns out that the BLTouch now comes with a standard 5-pin connector instead of the separate wires that all the tutorials talk about. How do I install the thing?<issue_c... |
2022/07/06 | 418 | 1,715 | <issue_start>username_0: I am on the hunt for CAD packages which can perform some level of slicing as an inherent model feature, instead of either exporting to STL and then importing into the slicer (a la OnShape) or directly opening the slicer from within the software (a la Fusion 360). I would like this because I wan... |
2022/07/08 | 571 | 1,951 | <issue_start>username_0: Is there any known site where you can input your 3D printer's information and it will show you all G-code files uploaded to that site and would have a download button? If not, it's not a huge deal. It's just that I can't find my computer, therefore can't use a slicer.<issue_comment>username_1: ... |

For example, if you are printing the object pictured below, and the green area is the support structure, and t... |

We're a toy/boardgame shop and we're experimenting with 3D printing because it could open up a huge market for us. To this end, I'm asked to try to get this off the ground, but also for me it's a big experiment.

I downloaded a zip with about 100 STL files. I now want to pick one or two to print. The names of the stl files are not very helpful so I need to look at them to find the ones I want. I can open all of them one by one using Cura, or Tinker... |
