The long and winding road to 3Dland .. Voron for me, but I guess that one must be a bit nuts to choose this road, isn't so Redbrickman ? .:p Nevertheless, looking back after more than two years, I'm now totally sure that my choice was right. When I've had trouble with a Voron, it was...

Your guess is as good as mine. An inside job ?. I'd say that, if it were so, Canon is rather sloppy protecting themselves from internal "leaks". Or is it Canon openly selling this stuff to third parties ?.. or clever hackers doing reverse engineering ?. Whatever might be, service tools have...

Three years ago I purchased from the same Ebay seller the service tool v5.306. It works fine on my Maxify. As PeterBJ says, for your TS8350 you'll need a newer version, One minor caveat is that you have to register the service tool. The vendor sends you a key file, valid only for your...

That must be the only thing that they have in common..;)

I wouldn't bet on that, Maxifys are totally different printers from Canon Pro series. They have only the brand name in common. Besides, AFAIK there're no autoreset chips for the ,Pro-1000, only single use chips.

I wouldn't use TPU for heat resistance. It's on a par or worse than PLA.

Nice design ! If I had to print this part, I'd choose a filament slightly flexible and with good outdoors endurance like PETG or ASA, but given your predilection for PLA, it seems a moot point asking which filament you'll use, isn't ? ;)

Mine too, but I confess printing only the plastic parts and reusing the steel springs from broken pegs purchased at the store. :rolleyes:

I wonder if that applies not only to @The Hat but to all of us.. For instance, I plead guilty of printing clothes pegs for hours at a cost far superior of what I'd pay for these things at the supermarket. That isn't exactly a sign of sanity. :p

ARC and permanent chips mean the same,. Once the ink level reaches empty, after the printer is switched off/on, ink level resets to full again. I have ARC installed in my Canon Maxify. Sometimes ink level resets to half instead of full and most of the times, the actual volume of ink remaining in...

Take good care of your printers. In a few years, they will be the last survivors of the Bowden extruder species. People will pay a lot of money to see such rarities in action.. :hide P:S: I was missing one of those threads when you and I are in total disagreement. ;)

You seem to be on the opposite side of the counter, if you know what I mean :p Come on @The Hat, you know well that we're not talking about bacteria during the printing job, but growing afterwards in the grooves of the layers, Of course they don't appear overnight, it's a slow build up taking...

There's the question of the nozzles too, Nifty. Those made from brass, copper or hardened steel may release small particles of different toxic metals into the printed part. That's why only stainless steel nozzles. are approved for 3D parts in contact with food. On the other side, maybe I'm...

I don't follow you here.. Why do you think it's more difficult to feed filament in direct drive extruders ?. Have you tried?. I assure you that, if anything, it's easier because there's no Bowden tube in-between the spool and the filament entry on top of the extruder. I do it all the time with...

I guess that @Redbrickman wanted to sell you one of his "dozens" of Vorons..;) Good points about PLA. If your lamp has resisted for years, why bother with other stuff, probably more expensive and for sure more tricky to print. Although I never found that ASA was more unreliable to print than...

Good luck convincing @The Hat to replace his beloved PLA with another filament.. :p

I'd be very careful using anything 3D printed in direct contact with food/medicines. Even if PLA is often advertised as a health safe filament, that's not quite true and it isn’t free from bacterial grow. Besides, apart from the filament, there’s the nozzle and other parts pf the printer. Only...

My five cents on what to expect from HT-PLA ( PLA-GF would a more accurate name ). As they say YMMV. Glass fiber filaments are VERY abrasive. They will "eat" a brass nozzle in just a few hours. It's almost compulsory to use a wear resistant nozzle (hardened still, diamond, ruby, TC ..)...

Nice to hear that you have a brand new spare printhead. A wise move to get it when they were still available. 😃 Anyway if those BCI6 carts are quite old, possibly this is part of the issue. Even if they're Canon OEM, after several years of storage, the ink and/or the sponges in some of them...

Knowing Canon, I’d guessed beforehand that they discontinued the BCI6 inks years ago. It’s a surprise that they’re still manufacturing these cartridges. Are you sure that it isn’t old stock past the expiration date ?. That would explain your issues. Supposing the carts are made recently then...
