Congrats on joining the madness that is 3D printing

If you expereince difficulty getting the filament fed manually into the extruder a good tip is to cut the filament at an angle with a pair of snips. Makes it easier to feed through the extruder to the nozzle.

Also look for a link to the Creality Discord as there will be lots of users in there who share mods and solve issues.

I did not know there was built-in camera monitoring the printing proces. It seems also continously detecting the temperature of the nozzle , hotbed and the chamber.

So here you are my new printer: A hefty and largView attachment 17414View attachment 17413

After having some problems with inserting the filament into the print head I finally managed to have test print with the built-in template to see if it does it job:

And here the result of my first object (built-in template to test the printer):

My first print seems to be very good indeed: sturdy and hard and very finely printed without any sharp angles. It took about 40 minutes to print.

Now I have to study the 3D CAD software to design and to adapt certain designs to my taste and needs.

Wow!

Congrats on your new baby!!!

I hope you fall in love with 3D printing as much as I have!!!

OK Guys here my first functioning result (after some playing with standard figurines) my own designed i1Pro1 scanning ruler that I modifief to my needs making it much more ergonomical to use than the original design. The movement of the spectro is now tightly confined in the rail on the back side making scanning now much more accurate.

Excellent print, you are now officially addicted to 3D

Today I tried to print a PVC ID card tray for my Epson ET-8550, but the cards are printed slightly skwewed....Not sure what is causing this. I tried the first and the second row, but the deviation angle seems to stay the same. Not sure what is causing this.

I'd guess it is something to do with the wheels gripping and feeding the tray at different strenght, or tolerance related where the tray is fed by a wheel on the left side (of your picture) and due to the loose fit will feed it at an angle on the x axis.
