Michael Laws at "Teaching Tech" on youtube has some excellent videos about the Ender-3 and really knows it cold. All sorts of more complex upgrades there too, should you wish to go there in future.
Hi Per, first good news,I have got a response to my ticket already and they do offer a replacement card board with display/touch screen.So letīs see which way they do offer to get it as soon as possible. My hope is, that there are spares in the European warehouse available too.
but unfortunately in this case fully under the influence of "Murphy's Law".
Achim,Looks like you are going to have a lot of fun with that new tool - what's the next proper project you have lined up for it?Simon.
I just purchased an Ender 3 Pro. I bought this brand because a friend at work had purchased the Ender 3 and loved it and it worked great straight out of the box. On advice from reviews I bought it on Amazon from Comgrow because the reviews said they offered good support and that Creality(the factory) did not respond. Anyway I got it and it was easy to assemble and it printed first try. The prints however were brittle and stringy and were not right. I contacted Amazon which connected me to Comgrow and they worked with me for a couple of days trying different things to find the problem. I was a little frustrated, but also very impressed how quick they were to get back to me and seemed genuinely concerned to make me happy with their product. After a couple of days of back and forth with China we had it up and running and it has performed perfectly ever since. Another advantage with Amazon is that you do have a window of time that you can return it for credit. I am having a great time drawing projects in Fusion 360 and printing them. I have it on a bench behind my desk at work, so i can be around to keep an eye on the printer for some of the longer prints which can take hours and days Good luck with your 3d printers. Mike Nay
Great stuff Achim! How long did it take to print all those parts? John
Achim good going on getting that machine working. Sounds more like a kit printer than one printing out of the box. look like you have been having a bit of fun. @ VinceF360 is the Cad stepcura is a CAM step aka slicer that generates gcodethen the host program runs the g code and firmware makes it all happen.
I expect to use it for making PLA 'lost wax' patterns from some small castings as well as some fixtures for my Alexander D-bit grinder.
QuoteI expect to use it for making PLA 'lost wax' patterns from some small castings as well as some fixtures for my Alexander D-bit grinder.Why not just print in wax. it is a bit more expensive $50 usd a kilo and you will have to tweak the firmwar as the print temp is below th normal plastic safety limit.
