    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    It you were in a situation where you needed a new board then the BTT with Klipper would be a good choice, however you are running OK with the current board so stay with it.

    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    Can't get much easier than that, especially if they have even provided a Klipper firmware to suit the printer. I'd be tempted to get one of those if I was printing a lot as I have a CR10 gathering dust since my Voron was built. After seeing how good the Klipper firmware is and how it can be...

    I'm A Convert! PEI Heated Spring Steel Bed Plate Surface

    I'm confused looking at the photo. If you fit the bed on those spacers surely the distance is too great for the magnets to work?

    I'm A Convert! PEI Heated Spring Steel Bed Plate Surface

    I hope it works out using the magnets. The magnetic sheet is a uniform magnetic surface so it grips across the entire area whereas the magnets do no produce a uniform "pull" If you use lots of them liek on a Prusa for example then it will probably work, but you will only find out if you print...

    A4 printer recommendations - all much of a muchness?

    Don't think there is any Canon now with print heads on the cart. For general use you can't go far wrong with the Canon Maxify range. Not a photo printer if you want high quality photos but for everythign else its a great machine that can also be refilled with 3rd party inks.

    Teaching Tech - Youtube Channel & Printer Calibration Troubleshooting

    He is well respected in the printing world for making the guides easy to understand. When I first started printing I never bother to calibrate the Extruder E steps, but it can make a lot of difference to the prints. Sometimes they come very close to the optimum figure and sometimes they are...

    I'm A Convert! PEI Heated Spring Steel Bed Plate Surface

    On thing I found out about PEI sheets. They need to be cleaned properly with dish soap periodically. Using IPA does not completely clean the surface as it leaves a film. Best to take a sponge with dish soap and water on it and wash the suface, then dry with a clean micorfibre cloth or a piece...

    Very interesting video about gear extruders and some issues with print artefacts

    I use one on the Voron and yes there are small artefacts but nothing that is glaringly obvious like in the video. Dual geared extruder are very reliable as far as feeding the filament goes, certainy much mroe reliable than a single gear extruder.

    Very interesting video about gear extruders and some issues with print artefacts

    As per the title the presenter examines the possible link between dual gear extruders and print artefacts. Interestingly he suggests that the Prusa Mini and Ender 3 may produce better prints than the Prusa MK3 due to only using a single gear rather than the dual gear extruder.

    PIXMA PRO-10 Head Clog

    I don't have the Pro 10 but I do a Nozzle check on my Pro 9000 MK2 every week. I suggest you do the same weekly as it uses little ink and is the best way to keep the nozzles working OK. If you have windows you can set up an automated print weekly. It can be done on Mac too but the process is...
