Oh , and Chuck that crap filament that comes with the printer away

Last 5c I can offer, wash the glass, hot water and sunlight dish soap, dry off and put it back on

Thanks for the help everyone. You were right, it was the stock filament that was the issue.

Printing the dog now and it's looking a lot better, all the lines are sticking. Wasted so much time to get to this point

What material is it?

Sorry, another side note

Any one try the sbs filament from filx yet?

The stuff is odd, but very nice, it comes off the spool like tpu, but print like pla,

I ordered some - the multipack of different "metal" looks. Probably arrive today/Monday.

My printers been standing for awhile, think I've printed 2-3 times in the last three months, but - about to start again.

make sure you use hairspray with it,glue doesnt work, and it warps off if you use nothing. what i do , is spray it after the bed is heated, just before it prints, blue fiesta

MDF base serving as cutting bed on CNC. Need fixture points for clamping...any opinions on these two inserts? Want to insert a bunch on the underside of the MDF with holes through for mounting screws.

Loving SBS thus far.

Made a dust boot for my 1212 CNC using SBS

Had issues the first time printing on my CR10 and found my Bowden tube was not fully against the extruder. After fixing that it prints like PLA.

What is SBS actually? Been seeing in some of the SA groups. Any advantages over PETG (pretty much all I use is PETG and ABS)?

Have a look here: https://www.filx.co.za/products/sbs/

SBS prints about as easy as PLA but works great and can be smoothed Loving SBS at the moment.

I saw that, just haven't seen it outside of SA, couldn't find a datasheet or real technical info. It says it's FDA approved as food safe etc, but then I can't find info on that outside of that blog post/SA sites

Hi everybody. Does anyone have experience replacing the fuse in their 3d printer? I got an ender 5 pro this weekend and it was set for the wrong voltage and the fuse above the plug blew. Any ideas what kind of fuse I need to replace it with?

Honestly , if it’s the internal fuse for the power supply , I’d honestly replace the supply, even if replacing the fuse works, it won’t last long
