  • Yes it's true.. You might just want to steer yourself away from this thing. Certainly if you're prone to frustration about fine details or you don't like computers! And there's more..

    Thank you for the talk on cost! Trying to explain that to people is so difficult at times. I've told one friend they can take one of my printers home and print their parts themselves. So they did. They returned the printer and now have no problem paying for quality prints.

    And this is why I never went with hot nozzle printing. Everybody and their brother asked why not and I always told them I have enough hobbies. What I went with is resin for small parts and I will stick with scratch building and vacuum molding for the rest.

    I love this sitting in the chair, straight to the point talk. Missed you guys at USTE hope to see you next year.

    Great video explaining just SOME of the MANY troubles of 3D printing lol.

    Good video for folks on the fence about buying a 3d printer I hope this educates some. People dont realise how intensive of a hobby 3d printing can be totally on its own. Lots of people i have talked to thing you just load filament and a file then press a button.

    I have one it's a pain in the ass but when you need something you need it !

    Most of these problems come from owning a cheap printer. A Prusa isn't much more expensive than an Ender but having owned both: the Prusa is 100% worth it.

    Well said Chris. I highly enjoy designing and printing my own stuff. People do not know how much time is involved on the back end. Great job on everything you do....

    I have a quick fix, get a Prusa MK3. Also if you print anything that's is not PLA I would recommend an enclosure. In any case desktop 3D printers are for handy people, makers. People who can understand how things work and are able to troubleshoot. Prusa printers reduce tinkering to a minimum, manufacturing quality is guaranteed, also after sales support. All your problems are usually present in Chinese printer which are made with bad quality control and cheap components and materials.

    The struggle is real but so satisfying when it works

    If parts only cost a couple bucks id support that business and pay more.

    I don't need someone who plays with toy cars to tell me why I do or don't need something

    Elmer’s disappearing purple glue stick works great for me. Better bed springs off Amazon made a big difference as well i have to level my bed way less often.

    Before the holidays I started learning CAD, and designed a 3/4 point Axle truss and then wanted to see it on my New CMAX Ultimate Coil Kit and fine tune the design. To do this I bought a simple 3d Printer for me to break in on.....and now I'm 2 printers deep and over 100 structural prints, 4 design revisions in addition to testing several different filament types...through my adventure thus-far, everything you said is so true. Tuning/Alignment and proper bed temp are the most important next to using DRY Filament. I can say with each failure I have learned and continued persistence my build is coming together nicely.

    you shouldn't have a 3d printer if you don't know what to do in those cases.

    You completely explained why I didn't get a printer. I know too many people who do it very well for good prices, and there is a TON of work to do it well. I'm old, I still use styrene... lol
