  1. This is probably the filament. I've had the exact same issue on my Ender 3 Pro and solved it by baking the filament. I suggest you try with another filament just to make sure.

  2. I know many Slic3r users - myself included - add support material to the model itself before importing it into Slic3r.

  3. So I discovered that the fade height must have been set to something really off. I didn't know this at the time so I thought I should set the fade height to the default 10 mm just to make sure nothing was wrong and…

  4. Finally I've found the damn problem: Adjustable rollers of all axes were flat on one point making layers to shift in all directions.

  5. The vapor is flammable. You should avoid any ignition source (open flame such as match, candle, or cigarette) in close proximity.

  6. The first problem is solved by removing the tick mark at Origin at center . Most printers have their origin at a corner (not Delta's, their origin is in the top center).

  7. Elmer's apparently doesn't reveal its glue stick contents. Elmer's has at least four different glue sticks without giving the difference in composition. You can find glue sticks that specify use for 3D printers.

  8. It's not hollow or enclosed structures that are a problem. It's structures that are hollow and enclosed. Think about it.

  9. The simple answer is: No There are two basic reasons for this: The sun will not get the filament hot enough to evaporate any moisture which has been absorbed.

  10. FDM printer? If you want to print one, maybe you should outsource it (let it print the tag on both sides), even the most affordable printers are in the \$100 - \$150 price range.

  11. Prior to a move the print cooling fan causes the filament to cool on the outside while the nozzle is still hot, when it then moves it causes a strings to form that will be cooled instantly.

  12. The error you encounter is related to a partly broken wire or problem with the seating of connector plugs in their sockets. The fact that the fan also stops hints to this.

  13. So, contrary to what people were saying, my problem came from my spring that controlled filament flow. There was too much tension and it caused motor skipping.

  14. Looking at the infill pattern visible through the tears in the top layer, it looks as if you have unreliable extrusion on the infill layers also.

  15. First a resounding no. Not a good idea. Are you saying it works now that you have removed the smooth rod? That tells me for sure your issue was Binding. Which is a tricky problem to solve.

  16. Are you using Z-hop? Is there any play in the Z-axis direction? It appears that parts of the first layer are printed much thinner than other parts.

  18. It’s probably fine. If you have it tightened down all the way now, you’ve squished most of the plastic out. You might burn up some plastic if your block gets too hot, but you could easily do that anyway.

  19. You are trying to print an unsupported edge up there - the top edge has nothing to rest on and thus sags down. As a result, the print failed. To remedy this, activate printing with support.

  20. Resolved : connected the white & black wires to the 5 pin output on the board. This solved the homing issue.
