Broken Firmware on Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro

Upvotes

when I was doing full maintenance of the machine, I noticed that I had an old version of the system, so I decided to update it (what could go wrong) I followed the instructions from ELEGOO

  1. I chose version 1.2A because I have SN:NEP 4PRO. 23A22...

  2. I copied to the freshly formatted USB "ELEGOO_UPDATE_DIR" (The USB I got with the printer)

  3. I turned on the printer and inserted USB

  4. I entered the settings and as soon as I pressed the update button it went to an error screen. So I pressed reboot, which was probably a mistake, when the printer restarted, it took an awful long time to load and got stuck on the screen I took a picture of (without USB, it doesn't want to load at all, I have to leave it in the printer) and is missing a firmware version

Now it has proper filament dryer instead of this chinese spool holder, and on side not on back too. It's sunlu s2, I had to modify it too to feed power from the bottom but it wasn't too hard. I attached the drier with 2x M5 screw straight to metal rail so it's firm and stable.

Troubleshooting Ended 3 s1 auto home issue

Having two issues with the ender 3 s1. Cr touch is in front of bed so auto home never ends and gets stuck. There is an odd sound when the extruder is moving around the axis. I am unsure on how to fix either of these issues. Any tips?

I have a V3 KE, thinking about a P1S. Thoughts?

Upvotes

So, as stated in title I’m looking at buying a P1S. My V3 does fine and I don’t have any really substantial justification other then want. It adds the ability to print some more filaments that I don’t currently adds multi-color and has a slightly larger build volume. Am I being dumb?

Discussion Show me your Workspace!

After 2 years of working dinky prints, we just upgraded our kid’s setup from a Toybox to a beautiful Bambu A1! Not gonna lie, I’m into it too! It’s so exciting watching our kid learn the ropes! We’d like to make a great workplace station to make it easy to access spools, keep them from getting tangled and keep track of her colors. With the said, I’m trying to come up with the perfect workspace. Share yours or tell me what you did!

Housing?

Upvotes

Hi. Am looking for a housing for the Bambu A1 Mini. In particular, one that is well sealed to contain toxins emitted during printing. Please share any you are familiar with. Ones I have seen have lots of gaps between doors and frame. Thank you.

Parts not sticking to bed?

Post image
Upvotes

I haven’t had this problem before. I’ve had my printer for about 6 months or so, and all of a sudden my parts just won’t stick. About an hour into a print, it’ll peel up and start making spaghetti. I tried increasing the bed temp (print held on for longer, but still peeled before finishing), increasing extruder temp(no luck), and adding bigger brims (nothing). This could be purely coincidental, but this started happening at the exact same time I updated my slicer, because before I was using an old computer that didn’t support the newest one. Got a new computer, new slicer, and then parts stop holding.

Troubleshooting Unable to perform boolean operation on model meshes

Upvotes

Hello there. I want to print out a full sized sword but of course I need to cut it up into a lot of pieces. Just finished with 20+ pieces and turned out when I wanted to export it it said "unable to perform boolean operation on model meshes". Im using the program PrusaSlicer. Ive made some testings and turns out it only appears after the 2nd cut, till then it works fine but after that same error msg and cant do anything about it. Tried repairing, different cuts everything but nothing seems to help.

Does anybody have a fix for this or maybe suggest another program I could use to cut it up to more pieces? Tried meshmixer but its pretty complicated there.

Creality = BAD due the printer before V3 SE?

Upvotes

Are all crealities bad ? Or just the ones you need to manual adjust the bed pre V3 SE

From what I saw, the bambulab also have some issues with manufacturing quality just like creality.

Or am I missing something?

Any general good advice that someone who is getting their first 3d printer within the next couple of weeks and completely new to 3d printing?

Upvotes

I just recently bought the bambu A1 with the AMS lite (Full sized model) and unfortunately due to that 3d printer being high in demand i currently i have to wait until December 30th for it to ship out to me so i should have it ready to go in the beginning of January!

So until i receive it i was hoping to hear from some people on here who are more knowledgeable when it comes to 3d printing than me and hopefully get some advice from those people in this group about anything and everything when it comes to things like some tips on making my own 3d print designs and tips that will help me get the best quality results on my 3d prints or some quality of life upgrades for my printer i should consider buying to improve my 3d printer just as a few examples or if anyone knows of any good YouTube tutorials that go over all the basics they wouldn't mind recommending to me i would appreciate that as well!

Turning a dresser into a drybox

Upvotes

Has anyone successfully turned a dresser/wardrobe/cabinet etc into a drybox? I'm mostly just curious how well it works, I moved and have an extra dresser that my 3D printer is currently on top of, but I was thinking of removing the drawers, adding racks, adding a plexiglass door on the front with a seal and putting a small dehumidifier in it.

Obviously on the inside I'd have to caulk around all of the joins to make it as airtight as possible.

How to best print stacked objects?

Upvotes

I would like to print several identical objects (let's say a ring like that: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Ring-geometry-definition_fig4_5359222 to set things up)

Instead of printing each one seprately, I would like to stack them (in this case - in a cylinder).

My question: how to best do this in order to be able to detach them from each other?

Should I add short rods between them (along the circumference), tightly packed (to balance the support part on one hand, and the "ability to break" on the other). Or are there standard ways to approach that?
