It’s no secret that 3D printers, and as a result, the 3D printing process, relies on many components to function correctly at once, with many pieces of software, electronic hardware, and mechanical hardware working together to make a successful print possible. On the other hand, so many components working together also means two things; even …
What Can Cause the Ender 3 (Pro/V2) Bed to Wobble? (How to Fix?) Read More
As with every device involving moving parts, 3D printers can also suffer from mechanical problems that prevent motion from occurring smoothly and correctly, making for a suboptimal printing process and potentially causing you to re-print your model due to the flaws that appear as a result. Fortunately, such issues aren’t very regular, as they commonly …
Why Does the X-Axis (Gantry) of My Ender 3 (Pro/V2) Wobble? Read More
Keeping software up-to-date, regardless of whether it’s something as simple as a note-taking application, or a more critical component of the device you’re using, such as its operating system, is good practice, and the firmware of your 3D printer is no exception to this. On the other hand, the process of updating a 3D printer …
Is It Possible to Update Ender 3 (Pro/V2) Firmware without Arduino? Read More
While factors such as print quality and maximum print size are the most critical deciders when selecting a 3D printer in most cases, it’s also worth thinking about the quality of life features that don’t affect the print itself but make the 3D printing experience better. Especially considering that quality of life features are rapidly …
Does the Ender 3 (Pro/V2) Automatically Shut Off After a Print? Read More
3D printers are a product of many distinct components working together, both on the software and the hardware fronts, with each element playing a vital role that is necessary for the 3D printer to operate correctly and conduct the printing process successfully. As a result, the failure of any component, no matter how small it …
What Can Cause the Ender 3 to Emit a Loud Beep? (Solved!) Read More
There is no dispute that using raw G-code commands is not very necessary to operate or configure a 3D printer nowadays, with modern slicer software and 3D printing interfaces providing all the functionality in a more user-friendly manner that won’t require the learning process that G-code does. On the other hand, as sending G-code commands …
What Is the M205 G-Code in Marlin Firmware? (Detailed) Read More
Issues related to 3D printing come in various forms due to the many parts involved in the process, ranging from problems related to the mechanical aspects of the 3D printer to the issues that stem from the software side things, such as print settings misconfiguration. While the problems directly related to the 3D printer itself …
What Causes the Ender 3 (Pro/V2) Screen to Glitch? (Solved!) Read More
While there is no denying that support structures can be pretty challenging to remove and take a lot of our time and effort for successful removal, we also have to accept that these structures are essential for a successful printing process in some cases. As a result, just as with anything else in the realm …
What Is the Support Interface Feature in Cura? (Solved!) Read More
There is no denying that installing an auto bed leveling sensor to a 3D printer, such as the BLTouch, is one of the most significant additions to the consistency of the prints and the 3D printing experience of the users, as automatic bed leveling is superior to manual bed leveling in almost every way. On …
Why Is the Nozzle Too High After Leveling with BLTouch? Read More
Cooling fan speed, together with bed temperature and nozzle temperature, is one of the main factors that decide the temperature of the plastic, making it a parameter that can singlehandedly change whether a 3D printed model will be a successful one or not. On the other hand, unlike bed temperature and nozzle temperature, which usually …
