  • Ha. My second printer is a DD ender 3 pro, I made a little clasp that holds cotton wool and clips around the filament so it cleans it as it goes into the head. It’s surprising how much dirt ends up in the wool. Anyway if it snaps overnight the clasp yeets off in a random direction and is waiting for me on the print bed in the morning. As my octoprint doesn’t have great night vision it being missing is the only way I can tell the filament has snapped. 🙂






  • I hear ya. My e3pro was starting to act up so I decided to finally upgrade to a Snapmaker U1, which is great. But once I didn’t have to worry about getting stuck not printing I went back and did a complete overhaul of the e3, Btt skr board (2nd hand) new build plate, direct drive conversion etc. now it’s working better than ever. Somewhere Long the line the old girl started under extruding by like 50%+ I don’t know how it was even working!

    I do amazing prints on the U1 but I’m having more fun with the ender.
