[magic citrus]

Do you an plastic or metal extruder? The plastic one is known to crack

[scenic sparrow]

Idk I just bought one

the ender 3

[magic citrus]

There are like 5 versions of the ender 3 sooo ever 3 without anything or 3 v2 n ender 3 pro, etc

[scenic sparrow]

the normal ender 3

[magic citrus]

My condolence 😄

But i think thr issues is a pretty common one

[scenic sparrow]

ooo

buut can I fix it?

[magic citrus]

The stock settings for retraction are usally way too jigh

High

[scenic sparrow]

ok

[magic citrus]

So if you lower it in your slicer to 4 it should work

Also chech if the bowden tube is not moving on the hot end side

[scenic sparrow]

wdym

[magic citrus]

The tube the filament goes through

[scenic sparrow]

ik

but wdym not moving on the hot end side?

[magic citrus]

It is hold in place by 2 pushfits one on the extruder and one on the hotendside

The pushfits have a little play

Allowing up and down movement.

Thr blue clip prevents that on the extruder sude

Side

[scenic sparrow]

oh

[magic citrus]

Sometimes there is none on thr hotendpushfit but a ziptie or completly nothing

[magic citrus]

Great 🙂

[scenic sparrow]

Is it this?

[magic citrus]

This yes

[scenic sparrow]

So I just change the slicer

[magic citrus]

Hopefully yes

[scenic sparrow]

Ok

this one to 4?

I mean the distance

[magic citrus]

Sometimes the default value is 5.5 or 6.5 mm and the max value is usally 6mm otherwise you end up in the heatbreak and thats not good

Jes

[scenic sparrow]

ooo

okay

lemme try

[magic citrus]

Yeah creality is cheap for a reason 🙂

[scenic sparrow]

yea but this one turns yellow

[magic citrus]

Thats to ignore

[scenic sparrow]

okay

[magic citrus]

If you have 100 retractions on 10 mm it will clog on everyprinter 😄

[scenic sparrow]

XD

btw

what is something good to print after I print the rabbit thats defeult?

[magic citrus]

A filament guide

Because the filament path is shit

[scenic sparrow]

okay

whereToPrint?

[magic citrus]

Also i suggest you buy a metal extruder Because if you have an plastic extruder the question is not if it breaks but when

Thingiverse.com or printables.com have a lot of stuff

[scenic sparrow]

Okay

Imma go test that out rn

[scenic sparrow]

btw

I am planning on saving money to buy a new printer

what do you recommand me buying next?

I can use your affiliate link if you want to

[magic citrus]

Bambulab p1s

[scenic sparrow]

okay

u mean p1p?

[magic citrus]

I have none and never will because it will immeaditly invalid everything tell

Ans no p1s is the new version

[scenic sparrow]

oh

[magic citrus]

Enclosed etc

1k in the ams bundle

[scenic sparrow]

is there something cheaper?

[magic citrus]

700 wirhout ams ;D

There is always cheaper but do you want to tinker or print?

[scenic sparrow]

I mean I can tinker

like I used a couple month to tinker my tronxy x5sa

I regret buying it

[magic citrus]

Well with 2 reget printers do you want one that works ? 😄

[scenic sparrow]

yea

[magic citrus]

Then the p1p x1c or p1s 😄

[scenic sparrow]

yea but its overkill for me

like

I don't need a camera

I don't need a light

[magic citrus]

The sovol v06 is nice too

But the 300mms speed are the killer feature

[scenic sparrow]

yea this one good

cheap cheap

219 usd

[magic citrus]

Well buy cheaply get sphagetti you regetti not on the sovol maybe

[scenic sparrow]

okay xd

[scenic sparrow]

[magic citrus]

what build surface do you have ...

[scenic sparrow]

uh the defeult one

that it comes with

[magic citrus]

so a steel plate thats hold in place with clips?

[scenic sparrow]

yes

[magic citrus]

then you can use a little painters tape in the middle to lift the bed up

[scenic sparrow]

okay

[scenic sparrow]

yea I don't have painters tape

[magic citrus]

aluminium foil?

[scenic sparrow]

oh I have it

phew

how to lift it up

[magic citrus]

well you take the piece of foil and put it betweent the bed and the heatbed

[scenic sparrow]

okay

[scenic sparrow]

yea its too high now

[magic citrus]

wit one piece of foil?

[scenic sparrow]

yea

[magic citrus]

how thick is your foil

[scenic sparrow]

1cm

wait

no no

0.001

cm

[magic citrus]

hmm

no idea

[scenic sparrow]

bruh ok

[magic citrus]

cant know everything 😄

[scenic sparrow]

the level is ok now

it won't extrude now 😦

[magic citrus]

maybe its already clogged you should have gotten some needles with your printer i think

[scenic sparrow]

aww ok

[scenic sparrow]

another person told me it is heat creep

and say my fan isn't good enough

[magic citrus]

Did you change the fan? Noctua 4010 for example is too weak

[scenic sparrow]

NOPE

nope*

sorry

[magic citrus]

What temp are you printing at and is your room above 30c?

Heat creep on pla is possible but normaly only if a fan is dead

You can revome the fan shroud and check

[scenic sparrow]

I am printing at the preset pla temp

which is 200

its under 30 c

[scenic sparrow]

the fan is spinning fast

*I accidently damaged my finger too ☠️ *

[magic citrus]

hmm

i mean creality hotends are not the best but heatcreep on pla.. you didnt add an allmetal heatbreak or so?

[scenic sparrow]

nope

its all defeult

do I reduce the retraction distance even further?

[magic citrus]

how low are you currently`?

[scenic sparrow]

4

[magic citrus]

hmm did you replace the bowden tube one or so

[scenic sparrow]

Mop

Nope*

[magic citrus]

Hmm

At this point id suggest you remove the bowden tube on the hotend side and chrck if its burned

[scenic sparrow]

okay

do I just pull the bowden tube?

[magic citrus]

In theory yes remove the blue clip push down and pull

[scenic sparrow]

okay lemme try

Do I turn the machine off?

[magic citrus]

Id say so

[scenic sparrow]

When I push it down the whole z axis goes down

[magic citrus]

https://youtu.be/rXW7XZPuAyY

[scenic sparrow]

Okay tysm

[magic citrus]

Can you take a picture of your hotend too ? You have a not red one and there are several versions

[scenic sparrow]

It don’t press down

[scenic sparrow]

After I removed the blue thing

[magic citrus]

I meant wirhout the shroud

[scenic sparrow]

?

[magic citrus]

Thr hotend without the shroud

You can use the wrench your printer came with like in the video

[scenic sparrow]

what is shroud

[scenic sparrow]

I used it

it still won't press down

[magic citrus]

The thing the fans are on the metal box

[scenic sparrow]

ok

[magic citrus]

Hm looks like you got a creality quality coupler guess you have to unscrew the coupler compmetly

[scenic sparrow]

Wait

This?

[magic citrus]

Yes

[scenic sparrow]

Ok

Is it ok?

[magic citrus]

Thr image?

[scenic sparrow]

wdym

[magic citrus]

Okay soo your is it ok? Quesiton ... what is it about

[scenic sparrow]

I don't get it

what is Thr image

[magic citrus]

I know Englisch is just my second language but damn ...

[scenic sparrow]

fact its my third

[magic citrus]

Deutsch is nicht dabei oder?

The metal case around your hotend is called a shroud.

[scenic sparrow]

es ist nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten

[scenic sparrow]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

[magic citrus]

To confirm the heat creep idea id need to see thr type of hotend you have

[scenic sparrow]

aoky

okay*

[magic citrus]

Also can confirm then if the fan is mounted correctly

[scenic sparrow]

alr

so I need to take more clear picture?

[magic citrus]

You need to remove that one

[scenic sparrow]

oh the metal case?

[magic citrus]

Yes ...

[scenic sparrow]

okay

[magic citrus]

I cant use xray vision via discord

[scenic sparrow]

okay lol

Removing it

[magic citrus]

Okay

[scenic sparrow]

Is it ok?

[magic citrus]

It is one with the tight fin space

The fan in the shroud

Is it mounted correctly

[scenic sparrow]

I think so

[magic citrus]

Thats correcz

[scenic sparrow]

Yay

So I just put it back now?

[magic citrus]

I dont think you have heat creep. You can clean the fins befor putting it back

[scenic sparrow]

It’s pretty clean

[magic citrus]

I guess its the tube then or the extruder arm cracked

[scenic sparrow]

Oh no

Is it fixable?

[magic citrus]

If its cracked no but you need to check

Tube yes

[scenic sparrow]

How to check

[magic citrus]

You remove the idler wheel

Then you see it thr plastic is crackes

[scenic sparrow]

Yay?

Hah?*

How to do that

[magic citrus]

... seriously?

Its secured with 1 screw ...

[scenic sparrow]

I mean what is the idler wheel

[scenic sparrow]

Dear Mom,

I want to take some time to explain why I believe purchasing the SOVOL SV06 3D printer is essential for me, even though I already have two other 3D printers. I hope you understand that this decision is not impulsive; it is the result of careful consideration.

Firstly, I acknowledge that I already have two 3D printers, and they do fulfill some of my needs. However, I have noticed that they have certain limitations in terms of printing precision, stability, and print space. The SOVOL SV06 is a more advanced 3D printer with higher printing precision and stability, enabling me to create more detailed and complex models. Having such a printer will open up new possibilities for learning and creativity.

Secondly, the larger print space of the SOVOL SV06 is crucial for me. It will allow me to print larger-sized projects, which can be beneficial for both school assignments and personal projects. I will be able to challenge myself by working on bigger models and prototypes, exploring broader academic domains and enhancing my creative capabilities.

Furthermore, investing in the SOVOL SV06 will also benefit my future career development. Proficiency in using advanced 3D printing technology is valuable in modern fields of engineering, design, and manufacturing. It will give me a competitive edge when seeking future employment opportunities or starting my own business.

Lastly, I want to assure you that I am willing to take responsibility for this purchase. If the cost of the SOVOL SV06 is a concern, I am more than willing to pay it off gradually over time. I could use my savings or even take up additional responsibilities to cover the cost. This way, I will understand the value of the investment and learn important financial management skills.

Mom, I sincerely hope you understand my desire and can offer your support and encouragement. Purchasing the SOVOL SV06 is not just about enhancing my learning and creativity; it is an investment in my future career. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.

Your child.

I spend my whole afternoon writing this

[magic citrus]

you dont have to gift me stuff btw. there is always an animal shelter close to you that needs that money more then me 🙂

you can try using a lower retraction speed ... like 30 mm/s if it still clogs then it is heatcreep with is really ood

@scenic sparrow

[scenic sparrow]

aw

[scenic sparrow]

okay

[scenic sparrow]

okay, ty

[magic citrus]

im always confused by that nitro stuff to behonest ... i grew up with icq .. that stuff used to be free 😄

[scenic sparrow]

xd

[magic citrus]

if lower retraction speed is not working you need a new fan. or a bigger fan but if your printer is new id go for warrently
