    Metal Hotend upgrade

    Truly, the hotend does make a difference, but 75% of it still probably lies within your settings in your slicer. It is hard to hear sometimes and ive been there. I have owned 11 printers. It wasnt til the 5th where I actually got good results. Its hour after hour after hour making finite...

    Printer not reading SD card

    if you put the sd card in before powering up the unit does it work? i had the same problem. Mine ended up being the LCD screen itself. Working with Kyle from gcreate we troubleshot the cables from LCD to Ramps board, etc. It ended up being the LCD screen.

    you need to add the start code. put this in your scripts inside s3d for your process G28 X0 Y0 ; Home X and Y axis G28 ; Home all axis G29 ; Auto bed leveling probe M218 T1 X33.90 Y-0.3; Set 2nd extruder offset.

    Anyone have luck with ninjaflex?

    2 things. need a ptfe tube running up to the hobbed bolt (gear) that is angled so there is NO room. on top of that if you disable retraction that will help prevent that from coming out that gap, because it never retracts which causes that issue

    THis will sound super rude, but please dont take it as anything other than "TRUST ME" You just spend 3k$ on a rockstar printer (and it is), Buy simplify 3d. Its superior to every other slicer by a wide margin. Better supports, better quality prints, etc. It is literally better in every way...
