Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful! I just got this printer and I was worried about the setup. I really appreciated your tips on what to be careful with (moving the head, etc). Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this! I had to learn how to work this exact 3D printer for work and your step my step instructions helped me so much! I can’t thank you enough!
Hey I have the same 3D printer I would suggest upgrading the print bed to glass as it makes it easier to take the print off. Also it makes the bottom of the print perfectly smooth.
I just purchased one of these and I am still in the process of setting it up so I have not done any prints on it yet. I have been reading about using glass and hairspray and I have a few questions if you don't mind. 1. How thick is your glass? 2. How are you holding the glass to the bed? 3. Did you remove the blue surface material or did you put your glass on top of it? 4. Are you using hairspray? If so, can you tell me what brand and can you also explain how you are spraying it on without it going everywhere inside your machine? Thanks.
I am honestly surprised you bought one. I figured gearbest would send you a CR-10 like they have done with every youtuber I seem to have subscribed to. I LOVE my CR-10 its an awesome printer. Anyways if you need any help with PLA let me know. PLA is super super easy to print with. No warping, don't have to print as hot, no toxic smell. It just isn't as durable. If you get into the hobby for sure try nylon bridge filament its somewhat flexible but tough as hell. But as a tip level the build plate while its at printing temp. So preheat it to whatever your normal print temps are (both nozzle and bed, then level as the metal will obviously be different when hot. Also don't push down on the bed when leveling lift the edge of the paper and slide it back and forth instead of pushing it down and sliding. When talking about tenths of millimeters this all matters.
+peter heighes thanks, been focusing more on cleaning, i kinda got burnt out from all the videos i made this year. think ima aim more towards two nice videos a week if i can. but for now im catching up on all the anime and games ive missed over these past few years while cleaning. my goal is to replace the white tarp sheds with a new one, sell/toss loads of my stuff, and double the space open in the basement over the course of this winter. ^^
I dont own a 3d printer but probably the easiest method to clean the nozzle by my opinion would be to heat it with a lighter and put in a rod with the same diametter as the hole. How wide is the hole on the nozzle anyway?
I wanna have a go at making a sonic model , i hear placing these things in acetone heated vapour for some time leaves it with a smooth finish but since it has to be heated it can lead to more excitement.
You are going to have to make sure that the grub screw in each gear is fully tightened as they seem to come loose and cause the printer to malfunction, All 3D printers should be used in a well ventilated area and once the system is set running you should really leave the area and do something else so you are not inhaling nasty fumes, CADKEY should be used for generating the G-Code that would be loaded on to the SD Card.
I have one of these... it's great. I removed the right extruder though after i managed to short the hot end heater wire to the thermocouple wire and blew a thermocouple amp. I'm planning to upgrade it with a glass print bed and a single extruder aluminium carriage in increase the print volume and allow for future upgrade to an E3D v6. RE: the door. I've had my printer for about 2 years now and no problems with door durability and i've managed to wack it from the top with my elbow a few times. I'm not a huge fan of this design though because the printer sits to my right so the door opens into me. At some point i'll cut the door off and put magnets into it and into the printer so it will be a removable mangentic panel. I've gotten pretty good results with my printer www.thingiverse.com/make:493923 I would take an FFCP over an Ultimaker 2 any day!
Hey I under stand if you're busy. But codys labs channel just got 2 strikes. If you want you can but I think it would be cool for you to make a quick vid talking bout his back up chanel.
stepper motors ... ANY motor ... can create electricity ..by moving it ... that IS what they do ... the fact that is NOT what it is being used for doesnt matter ... as for circuitry to prevent back emf from moving the heads ... yes IF it was all DC then they just slap a diode on the line and no problem .. but since it's AC ... it then becomes either a switch to a HIGH resistance load ... or a program setting to shut off the motor ...

It's your money and I am not trying to tell you how to spend it. However, in my opinion spending $800+ so you can make monsters from role playing games or maybe chess pieces is a bit silly. Don't get me wrong, I understand that 3-D printing CAN make useful articles, I just doubt that a "hobbyist" will use it for such. I do remember your making a switch handle with this technology and I remember that handle breaking shortly thereafter. I could go on but I won't. I hope you have a lot of fun with this toy.
+Clyde Fishface thats a joke right? im not a hobbyist, i need it for rapid prototyping. ive already used some 3d printed parts in my projects but didnt want to highlight them since at the time i didnt want to admit i was printing them at work. now that i have this i can use it for cosplay items and for making parts. im especially excited for using this to help cast metal replicas using lost-plastic-casting methods. can easilly build any custom metal part that way without needing expensive tools. this isnt a toy, its more useful than a lathe to me, and i went 50/50 with my mother on it so i didnt even pay for all of it. so stop being so judgmental. perhaps you dont realize how vital 3d printing is to rapid prototyping, and helpful to my sort of projects.
Actually, you ARE a hobbyist. You do nothing that is of REAL commercial value. You are a 20-something KID that still lives with mommy and daddy (or at least mommy's husband). You collect JUNK and call it valuable supplies for your rather amateurish video productions. Even when you had a REAL job you couldn't make it on your own but had to rent a ROOM rather than have any kind of a home. I enjoy, for the most part, your silly little videos and I admire your willingness to get dirty in trying all sorts of things. You have grand plans but little concept of what you will REALLY do with all your junk. If you didn't live in such a rural area you would never get away with the mess you laughingly call a yard. Your ignorance on safety procedures shows one of the reasons why you cannot have a real job, no employer would stand for such shenanigans on the job as you routinely pull in your back yard. Even when the safety issues are pointed out you simply dismiss them as any eight-year old would do. Grow up! Stop depending on mommy for your transportation and god knows how much other. Get a REAL job and start paying your way in the world. And don't bother responding, I've read it all before many times.
+Clyde Fishface wow you really have no clue about me do you? i learned 3d printing when i managed that rapid prototyping lab at Apple, and yes i did do my part to help the industry in building prototypes with that. i dont rely on my mother, she asked me to come back and so i did. im not some poor kid relying on my mother, almost the other way around. my mother worries about money and so with me back she doesnt have to anymore. if you continue your bullshit atittude then ill have no option but to ban you from commenting. please unsubscribe and never bother me again. you obviously dont care about reality.
@@RinoaL if you are a professional I would ask why would you work in such a messy set u? it not really what I would call a fitting representation of a professional that "managed" a prototyping lab for apple do you think not?
Watching this in 2020, still benefiting from the content!
2024 here, still good.
Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful! I just got this printer and I was worried about the setup. I really appreciated your tips on what to be careful with (moving the head, etc). Thank you!
I bought this printer a year ago based upon your review. I still love it with no regrets.
Thank you so much for posting this! I had to learn how to work this exact 3D printer for work and your step my step instructions helped me so much! I can’t thank you enough!
This is great Rin. I know nothing about 3D printing so I look forward to these. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent guide! I just got mine yesterday and I was up and printing in no time. I appreciate your video.
well im glad to hear it was helpful. these machines are quite easy to use once you learn what to do.

I recently used the same machine to print a set of spool holders compatible for the Hatchbox spools! I guess you can say I'm learning the art! 🙂
Thank you, all your info helped me a great deal
One extruder could use soluble support material like PVA and the other extruder could be used for the build material.
good video.. clarified a lot of unanswered questions. Thank you

+x9x9x9x9x9 i dont do 3d printing as a hobby.
Rinoa, this is a great video... I have been looking for an upgrade 3d printed, and with 2 extruders!!! Keep it up the good work!!
If you want some more detail easier in your prints, use simplify3d or cura as your slicer.
love your videos man, keep it rolling!
+peter heighes thanks, been focusing more on cleaning, i kinda got burnt out from all the videos i made this year. think ima aim more towards two nice videos a week if i can. but for now im catching up on all the anime and games ive missed over these past few years while cleaning. my goal is to replace the white tarp sheds with a new one, sell/toss loads of my stuff, and double the space open in the basement over the course of this winter. ^^
very nice can't wait to see what you get up to.
Got this printer at school, very good, nice choice.

I wanna have a go at making a sonic model , i hear placing these things in acetone heated vapour for some time leaves it with a smooth finish but since it has to be heated it can lead to more excitement.
I accidentally pushed down on the print bed once/twice, is it too late to stop the printer from overheating or can it still function?
can you give me a link to your other channels please i can't find them thanks
Naomi Wu (SexyCyborg) has the same printer. Maybe you two can share tips and tricks on how to get the most out of it?
Definitely put as many vids on 3d printing on this channel as u care to do!!!
you have a 3d channel, were is it please.

+DAVID GREGORY KERR the abs fumes are fine, they give off a nice smell. and no, replicator g is what works with this.

Do you have to compensate for differential cooling?
can this printer print PA (PACF)? or are there upgrades for the hotend to print PA?
i do not know

Could you use wax paper to keep your prints from sticking?
+Horsepower they need to stick or they wont be stable. its a fine line.
Oh I understand. I'd love to pick up a 3D printer ,but I'm kind of nervous about all the calibrating and stuff.
You should do more 3d printing vids, very interesting.
I like ur videos
Hey I under stand if you're busy. But codys labs channel just got 2 strikes. If you want you can but I think it would be cool for you to make a quick vid talking bout his back up chanel.
3!? He only got 2 so far.
Andy's correct. He has 2 strikes.
Woo soory
Ment 2.
yeah that sucks, it happens to every YTer these days though.
Did you put any glue or spray on the platform?
no

the spool is NOT double sided .. it is SINGLE sided ... the blue spool was being put on BACKWARDS
acetone .. aka nail polish remover

Thanks, very helpful
what I want to ask is the comment made "the flashforge creator pro or what ever it is" made me chuckle
cómo unas los dos extructores?
Where is the 6 number code to download the F Creator pro 2?
so far, pla has never got stuck for me
stopping the steppers from back feeding the supply is not so simple, best you can really do it is clamp the supply voltage to a safe level
when are you starting atc honda 3 wheeler part 9
ABS?? What you do about the smell that comes from the filament when printing?? I personally can't stand the smell so I don't fuck it.
doesnt smell bad to me, smells pleasant, almost like baking cookies.
Man.. you printed stuff for Jony Ive?? 😍😍😍
i happen to strongly disagree with some of his design decisions, i dont really put him on a pedestal. hes just another person.
Cool
you have a 3d modeling channel??
yes, and a personal one, and a gaming one.
every youtuber tends to have other channels they neglect, and at one time thought they were going to spend time on. :p
from what i have see abs is out dated and pla and others are the new besti can try to find the vid i am getting my info from
Can this use Cura?
are you going to recycle plastic and make your own plastic for printing.
probably not right now, will probably save it in case i ever want to though.
If you need adapters made contact me, I can help you do that. It's nice to help others and you hon, are some one I love watching. Let me know
For the small filimants that is
i already made adapters for smaller spools back at the lab, its not difficult. thanks though.
thanks

That looks alot easier to use then how mine is acting :/
pocket-knife on the print bed hurt to watch :D
this pocket knife is bent up a bit on the end, so the point doesnt dig into the bed. dont worry.

hahaha
Oh look. A 3d printing lady.
My printer starts its print off the platform how do I fix that anyone?
probably a gcode problem. maybe slicing for the wrong printer
When I put the file into flashprint I selected the correct printer model save the file to sd card . When I print it starts on bottom of the platform
Ps I'm using the same printer
