    Rob could you please humour me with this question. The nozzle on my Ender 3 Pro is 0.4 mm so I assume the molten filament is pushed out of this nozzle with a diameter of 0.4.
    So how can you dictate a layer height of 0.2 in the slicer program. I assume that with the nozzle moving over the bed it elongates the molten filament to less than 0.4. In fact wouldn't the speed of the nozzle directly effect the height of the layer laid down. Not only the speed of the nozzle but the quantity and speed of the filament being pushed by the extruder would also have an influence on the layer being deposited. So I think that to get a final 0.2 layer height there needs to be a very specific set of instructions to the printer. This I assume is in the settings for default printing speed and the x/y axis movement speed. My point is if you change any of these you will not get a 0.2 layer, but nowhere does anything inform of the correlation of layer height,print speed and travel speed. Your thoughts
    David

    • @3DPrintscape
      @3DPrintscape  3 года назад

      Hi. Thats a great question. The .4mm really only impacts the width, not the height. So you can get the .2mm layer height with that nozzle, you just wouldnt be able to get a line width of less that .4. That said, you can only get so low of a resolution with the .4mm nozzle as it can still has limitations on layer height.

    I just got a second hand Ender 3 pro and can't get it to work. It was my son's printer and he said has printed from it and even came over to try but could not get it to work. I leveled the board as instructions said. I pre-heated everything and tried to print something and the print head leaves the home position and goes up about 4 inches and goes back and forth and the table moves also. I watched it doe this for about 5 minutes, it shows no progress so I cancel the print. I tried the batarang print and it seems to be working, but nothing is coming out.

      @3DPrintscape the nozzle is new I just replaced it. I pulled out all the filament and re-did it and it's now working. My first print was the batarang. It printed in the front left corner and off the plate. I then did the dog, twice. One time the print came loose of the plate and was being dragged all over the plate. The second time the printer just stopped halfway through. All three prints were terrible with gaps and blobs. I set the heat to what the filament manufacturer said, 200 for nozzle and 60 for the table. I have not been able to print anything from the internet.

Also after you disable the steppers will that allow you to move the bed and the extruder around smoothly, I noticed it did for you in the video.

Either way you go, you can connect it directly to the computer and print to it that way but i prefer to use a raspberry pi with octoprint. The issue with connecting to a windows pc is that if the computer shuts down for what ever reason, like updates, you will lose the print.
