Hi LT3D. I have a question regarding the tool holder. I printed everything however I'm not sure what hardware I am supposed to use for the hinges and the latches. Can you enlighten me? Much appriciated.
Great ideas! I went for the side-mounted spool holder as I'm short and my printer is sitting on a stand. Easy to access. I might lengthen the Bowden tube that goes into the runout sensor so that the filament doesn't have to go around the corner of the printer. Haven't needed a scraper yet as I find the flexible build plate is great for getting prints off (or if I can wait long enough the plate will cool down and the prints just slide off). For my tools I wanted them more accessible so printed out a mini multiboard and screwed that to the side of my printer stand. I definitely want to print out the cable chain, but first want to decide what colour I want my enclosure to be when I one day print it. And the stylus might be handy as I find the screen touch sensitivity to be a bit slow in registering my finger presses. Hope you're enjoying the 5M as much as I am. Always looking for neater things to print!
I'm very happy with it when it's working, however these new firmware updates seem to be a little buggy. I printed my cable chain in purple as I plan on printing a purple enclosure for mine, gotta match the colours!
Correct, I was testing a webcam to see if it worked. Result is, it does but I definitely need to design something better as it’s currently held on with cable ties 😂
@@LT3D_YT gotcha, thanks for the reply! I'm still new to the end printing world, and haven't quite pulled the trigger on getting this machine, but I'm really close, so I've been watching a ton of videos on it, lol
hey is anyone else having trouble with the top spool holder file ?
What sort of troubles are you having?
If you printed up all these things on the list that you just shared with us would you say that you have a printer that probably has no problems?
I personally has some z-offset issues early on but my printers working fine now

The hinges and latches require 6x M3x30mm screws.
@@LT3D_YT Thank you so much for the very quick reply!
@@HarleyMan-u3w no worries!

What's the app you use to get different/cooler things to print??
I find all my files through makerworld.com, printables.com and thingiverse.com
@@LT3D_YT thankyou
@@Bep_VR no worries!
During the build of the nozzle box, what is that purple in the front? Is that a camera holder?

Which nozzle did you use for these?
The default 0.4mm Nozzle
NO ONE IS FRANTICALLY LOOKING FOR AN ALAN KEY TO TIGHTEN A BOLT ON A3D PRINTER
@@TomDay-so2pw I beg to differ, there’s nothing worse than having a bunch of Allen keys but not the one you are after 😂
