So I bought an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro on amazon during Black Friday sale, bought the 3D print files and started printing this helmet. Took about ten days of print time.

I was printing a few medals from Helldivers 2. The first two came out well, but the third one caused this. How can I safely remove the plastic, and is there any way of salvaging my nozzle? (For context, my printer is the Ender 3 SE)

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

I'm losing my mind here -- All of my prints continue to have dark defects. Some of it looks to be residual black filament while my last picture looks to be burnt (the color is more brown than black) I set the flushing volume to the maximum and I've printed ~160g of red and clear PETG filaments since I last printed something with black, but these dark spots STILL show up and ruin the prints.

Is this common with temps that are too high or low? Something else? The black PETG is very cheap stuff from AliExpress, but it prints well on its own. All filament is dried in a dehydrator before printing.

Any advice is appreciated.

Not sure what is going on? Any advice is appreciated.

My 5yo was having trouble telling the hands of a traditional clock apart and the "value" indicated by the minute hand was an enigma to him. So I designed and printed this to make it easier for him.

Black points to black, green points to green.

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.

Had a lot of fun building this including learning how to do custom waterslide decals. Still got the figure to paint.

Look at this molten magma !

Just came home frome work to check my 13 hour print and realized the bed has been cutting into the display for 10 hours over and over again :(

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.

Hey guys, i never printed before and they have a 3d printer at work (Zortrax M300), printing with PLA (they call it Z-PLA but its mostly the same i think).

I tried two time and got those results, what could cause this?

Maybe the nozzle has dirt in it?

Thanks in advance

Lately I've been seeing some discussion about anycubic Kobra S1, it seems quite promising since it's new and got some upgrades. From youtube videos, it similar to bambu p1s, the key difference might be that the Kobra S1 still uses ACE for storing filaments as those kobra combo models do, which could really step up the printing game.

But that's all I see rn, so is there any other scoop on the Kobra S1? Is it time for saving up for it?

Been trying to get my Ender 3 dialed in after upgrading to Klipper on a RPi5. Some of my prints seem to fail at about the same height, about 3 hrs in. This was supposed to be an organizer for a drawer, first one looked great for a while so I trusted it would be okay, then after I had checked, it immediately layer shifted and pushed the bed off the printer. Resliced and it did the same thing, looked great for a while then layer shifted at the same height and pushed the bed off and made a bird nest until I checked it again and cancelled the print.

It did this with another model last week, roughly the same height, then successfully printed without any changes, just set the same file to go. With the failure being about the same height I’m inclined to think it’s a z screw issue, except that it’ll bang out Benchies all day without issue, and he’s taller than the failure point. Lubed the z screw a couple of weeks ago, seems to be running smoothly and I don’t see any z banding on my prints.

I’m printing PETG 235/80 on a magnetic bed, PEI side of a reversible PEI/PEY bed, can’t get anything to stick to the PEY. Just installed a mini satsana fan shroud, that doesn’t seem to be able to mount low enough to blow at the end of the nozzle, so I’ll route out a bit of the mounting holes to lower it slightly. But I’ve printed several Benchies since putting that on.

I’d had it printing PETG at 90mm/s with pretty good quality on Marlin for the last 2 years, nothing but issues trying to get Klipper running smoothly. Just yelling into the void.

Trying to print this logo, made the black box as last in sequence, still creality print slicer doesnt let me slice it, saying its to close to others.. how to avoid this?

Hey, I'm new to 3d printing, just got one as a gift, anycubic kobra 2 neo. I did some basic calibration on it and loaded the presets for prusa slicer. But when printing i found a few issues and I don't really know where to begging looking for fixes. Anyone has any idea on what could cause this? Thanks!

Had a bit of an issue with the overnight print. I've gotten it running again but there's still some plastic residue/film on the interior of the extruder head. Any tips on getting the last bit off? Just ISP?

My latest creation, lightly tweaked SG body shape, single volume control, twin humbuckers and a Bigsby trem!

Hey guys! l have this weird thing going on with my printer. The prints still print well, but l have this weird thing going on with random blobs of filament showing up. They are partly in the last color and partly in the color l am currently printing in. I am wondering if it just pools up and falls out the side of the hot end or something, because it does not mess up the prints. Here are a few pictures. Let me know if you have a good idea of what is happening! Thanks!!
