Gosh darn this thing is printing amazingly well these days.
The rumor has it that the Ender 5 Plus will launch with a 350x350x400 bed size with dual Z lead screws and I want it. You won’t be able to print super fast on it but with some mods it’ll be a champ.
So far on this regul...

Joker by Chris Frieze! Not sure if he’s shared this online yet or not but I’ll update with a link once I have a chance to look for it.
I started a bunch of prints and this one finished first on the Mosquito Magnum BMG MK3s. It’s basically flawless and I’m happy to say this super se...

Well sort of Lol. Send me your bad prints or prints you want me to look at and talk about on live stream. They can be perfectly fine or preferably have printing issue to diagnose and hopefully solve.
I do have some r...

Finally ordered and received my Garolite sheet. I’ve always had issue printing Nylons and it’s time to fix that with the one surface that is meant for nylon.
Garolite is a resin and fabric mashup and nylon loves to bond to it. They are like hugging buddies. I’ve had minor luck using ...

New blog post is up early for the Patrons!!!! I've been quiet but I've been busy. This isn't finished just yet but I feel like it's in a good place to share, get some feedback, then go back and refine it before posting it everywhere.
Let me know what you think!!!
I disappear for a bit to get work done and Patreon blows up!!!
Thank you to all the new Patrons your amazing commitment is super loved and appreciated. I have some awesome new ideas to work on and actually had time to ponder some 3d printing things while not printing anything for the last 5...

Thank you everyone for being so patient. I've hammered out 2 weddings and 5 shoots with 5 more shoots to edit and 3 more shoots to do this weekend.
I actually haven't printed anything in 2 days and it's killing me on the inside but I know if I go down there I'll start working on...

Sorry I've been absent! I haven't forgotten about you awesome humans and will get back to everyone asap that have messaged and posted recently.
I ran a special on portraits last week and I'm buried with edits and I mean completely buried so I've only taken care to my normal facebook duties...
The Warhammer MK3s aka the Duet 2 super powered MK3s got a fancy control screen today. The PanelDue 5i in my self designed almost not crappy case looks huge and sightly glorious. No more stuttering around on my phone just to do simple tasks.
If you missed the Woot special last week you may...

This may take a bit to figure out petg supports. I have to admit that I had them dialed in something fierce on S3D but I get decent Peta slicer results but not sure if I can push the underextrusion as hard on them.
My goal today when I wake up is to crunch time edit a wedding an...

I was so excited to test the real raw speed of the Mosquito Magnum but the mk3s is such a let down when you crank speeds.
I'm now printing regular models at regular speeds to dial in a starting profile. Why? E3D 40w cartridge is lame. Want to print hotter and faster? Buy something else. 8 ...

I've redone a bunch of the Pretty Profiles for the modern age. Fixed supports, fixed start gcode, and fixed a few other things.
Notice: These still need a few more hours of tests but they aren't super far off from their originating profile so prints will be successful as before just some r...
The team at Slice were so excited for the Bondtech Mosquito extruder they sent a Magnun version of their hotend along with the parts I ordered to fix my busted mosquito.
It's always awesome seeing a mutual love to help get profiles made and I couldn't be more excited to swap this in and se...

I hinted at it during the last live stream but I'm going to start a sweet new feature to all my Patrons.
Basically it's a print diagnosis live stream I want to do on a regular basis. My patrons will have access to my PO Box and can send small test prints to look at and we can diagnose prin...

Yay! Now that the streaming setup is almost done I can get back to content.
I have 3 printers that need upgrades and 2 more to build. I have firmware to finish for the duet MK3 and I have to get the SKR V1.3 MK3 firmware done. Oh... Tons more slicer videos and so on.
But!

Something new from Bondtech thanks to community outreach and some of us who just kept bugging Martin and the Team.

I went out and got something I've always wanted during streams and that's a scene switcher.
If you haven't heard of the Stream Deck it's a highly customizable macro button box. Why not just remap some keys or make macros? Integration!
It's super easy to setup these keys and at a glan...

Finishing a huge spring cleaning in the print area and finally can see what the future setup can look like.
Sooooo I ordered a Stream Deck, a logitech C920s and an okay looking USB microscope that says it pushes 1928x1080 and has lights. The 920 will be used for the overhead angle and the ...

Shout out to Chris Frieze who had me run a quick benchmark. Found out I needed to update some magic in the BIOS in order to get the RAM working to it's spec.
The numbers look pretty darn swell indeed and it's thanks to everyone here so while I'm speechless I just wanted to send a heartfel...
I knew there was something wrong with the windows USB disc. After all the headache as help from the community while I was streaming it came down to the bad USB boot drive I made.
Moral of the story? Windows needs to create an app like Apples migration tool but to make bootable windows 10 U...

Well it finally happened. My first big purchase thanks to all my amazing Patrons. Today I ordered a decent PC for the streaming and further development of videos and learning new software not available on the Mac ecosystem.
Couldn't have done it without all of your hard earned funding of m...
Moving forward with Marlin 2.0 is going great... Now. Finally discovered the magic combination that allows me full 32bit awesomeness and not using a Duet.
It was definitely an adventure trying to figure out all the goodness but after some soldering of chips and firmware fun I have full uAR...

Yuri who graciously worked super hard to bring Linear advance 1.5 to the Prusa ecosystem took a random new tech not in marlin yet and brought it to all of us.
In infancy right now Square Wave stepping again reduces load on the CPU further on top of LA1.5 and can help with driver...

Finally got the last of the mods printed while not being home much at all these last 3-4 days.
I've dry tested the filament path and it's smooth as can be. In fact it's much smoother than before so looks like these smart people and their mods help.
I did want to start tweaking the m...
