LOL, you know how to speak to, and motivate my inner-geek!!! ;) Sounds like a slippery slope, LOL! So, this is a great comment that makes me wonder if I really "need" to go down any of these paths (octoprint, Klipper, etc.) since my printer is right next to my desk and seems to run (especially...

Thanks, but all I needed was the name and/or the link. I believe it's this one, no? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2868974

Octoprint is still something everyone seems to be suggesting, but I still haven't dabbled in it. I think I'm ready. Problem is: Raspberry Pi boards are either unavailable or SUPER expensive (compared to where they used to be in price). I'm still dinking around with the idea of converting an...

I wanted a light-color print and thought having glow in the dark would just be fun :) I do see a lot of overhead LED light setups, but I don't care for them. I don't need the whole printer / surface lit, just the nozzle. I wanted bigger than needed so I could turn them up and down as needed...

Well: First post is linking external Registration email address contains same words as the link they posted No other posts to the group after this initial post So, I removed the link. I'd usually span-remove the account as a whole, but this thread is interesting and I thought @The Hat &...

One of the first things I do on my Creality printers is to replace the OEM fan duct with a "fang" dual-chamber duct. Not only should this help with cooling the part more evenly / better, I mostly like that it gives me better visibility to the hotend. I purchased / printed this duct...

I'm going to make this also my journal for JyersUI update. First the videos that helped: Software: Creality (backup): https://www.creality.com/download Jyers: https://github.com/jyers/marlin/releases/ After checking my board and CPU are compatible, I downloaded the files and went through...

As I had mentioned in my other thread, I've been excitedly wanting to update my control motherboard firmware from Creality's Malin to JyersUI. I read it's important to know if you have the 4.2.2 or 4.2.7 motherboard. Yesterday I was searching for info about these boards and stumbled on these...

I don't think I ever used the word "perfectly". ;) There's lots that can be incrementally improved... which has been awesome. Like the duct: The OEM one is working fine, but it's definitely not perfect. I'm not changing the MB on the Ender. That's for the CR-10 If I get it wrong, then I either...

I continue to print TONS of bits for the Ender 3 V2 (I'll post a separate thread once I've done most of them). One big one is this very popular fang duct: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/ender3-v2-dual-40mm-fan-hot-end-duct-fang Well reviewed here: Oh, and a side-note: I've been getting...

LOL! Ya @The Hat !!! I was searching Google for "3d printer cfm or pressure" ... and this happened:

I've been checking throughout the day and am not noticing any problems. CPUs on the server for the past week looks good: Any other users having performance problems? I'll keep an eye on things :)

I've been hearing LOTS of great reviews on the silicone spacers to replace the springs. I had already ordered the yellow beefier springs and am pretty happy with them on my CR-10 and seem to do great on my Ender-3 (seems I never really need to level the bed after I get it dialed in).

I've been printing like MAD! LOL! I'm really liking this printer! ... and of course all my tons of 1st prints are bits and bobs to update the printer itself :D Next-up: LED Bar: I'm no designer, but I'm fumbling with OnShape to try to make a bracket to hold the LED strip that will run off...

Oh, and something I noticed: I don't think I needed to buy the upgraded "metal teeth" bowden pneumatic couplings. It looks like Creality took the feedback and started including couplings that have metal teeth and good grab. They also included the little bowden clips that a lot of people are...

WOOOHOOO!!!! All put together and working GREAT (so far)! My very first print, a 30% Benchy: I think it took me about 1.5 hours to put it together since I was replacing springs, couplers, bowden tube, etc., and being VERY slow and deliberate following all the instructions in the videos...

Valid points (and suggestions)! I hate to admit it, but I just don't print color photos enough to keep the inkjet from clogging up. So one option I'm looking at is keeping the (or a different) color laser printer, and the very rare times I actually need printed quality photos: I'll just ride my...

Ya, I feel ya on that! Fortunately the one I let go was never considered family since it was always in the box. More like a passing-through visitor. LOL! ...BUT... it will be interesting to see how I feel about my CR-10. If the Ender-3 V2 fulfills everything I need it to do, and does it better...

Update: I sold my original Ender 3. I listed it on craigslist, FB Marketplace, Offerup... same price, pics, info. I got 5 people interested from FB and ZERO from the other two! ... then purchased an Ender 3 V2... which has been sitting in the box for about 3 weeks :( Now that the GF and I are...

Ya, I think I'd need to go with a kit to ensure I didn't end up with a bunch of expensive parts and no real support or knowledge on why things didn't play nice together. Ah, that's very interesting and helpful! I was excited to see a video (I love videos for this stuff)... until I noticed it...
