Anniversary update on Standard Lamp Mark V..

[The Hat]

The new Mark 6 will take many months to complete and having a second backup printer on hand is essential, so I decided to get a new Ender 3 as back up until I can get the CR-10 back into action.. Moving on to my new Water Pump..

I now have this printer a week or so and am trying to get to grips with it..

It can prints nearly as fast as Harry Potters magic wand, but its dam annoying because it shakes and wobbles so much it’s like a Feckin poltergeist in the shed, it causes loads of things to fall off their shelves, stuff not even near the printer.. (60% faster)

It runs at very high temperatures too, and so far I can’t find a way to reduce them down to a safer level, Nozzle at 220c and the bed at 65c, I even managed to get my first head clog, I don’t know how or why but it hasn’t done it since..

Do I like the this printer, ! I might if I knew how to control it better, but as of now definitely no, but don’t get me wrong it prints really great and it is far better than what I’ve had before, but I don’t really need that type quality..

Would I buy it again if I had a choice, most likely not, just give me a CR-10 anytime, it’s just not my kind of printer, and I haven’t tried it yet on a two colour job, which I reckon would be a disaster trying to hold the nozzle in position on change over..

I totally hear what you are saying! I've definitely watched a lot of videos of people talking about how loud and rumbly a lot of these fast printers can be.
