Im only ~3 months into 3d printing and finding you're videos very helpful , I've managed to get some real nice prints from my very cheap Ender 3 v3 se, thanks from a UK plastic pusher.
Welcome to the world of 3D Printing. I also have an Ender 3 V3 Se, I love that printer! I've even recommended to friends and family members that were getting into 3D printing. Awesome sign off on the comment as "UK Plastic Pusher"! Love it! Thanks for the comment & thanks for watching!
Whoop! Great tips. Thanks. Your slicing seems really fast compared to how long I think my computer would take (2017 intel i5 iMac). What tech specs are you running on your PC?
Don't be fooled! During editing, I started cutting out the slice processing time. It makes the video a little faster by cutting out dead time watching the slicing process go from 0 to 100%. By doing this I can pack more information into a video rather than having the video sit there watching the slicing.
At some point, would you consider covering how to make a model water tight (like a vase that will retain water) using CP 5.1.xx and either an Ender 3 V3 (plus or other) ?? Also, if you know for sure, to explain what the repair model option in CP 5 really does. I find your explanations to be top notch. You don't assume that people should know everything. This is awesome! Thanks in advance.
Hi Bill, can you do a setting tutorial on infill? I just started using Creality 5.1 (just got the hang of cura) but now my nozzle scrapes through the infill, leaving nozzle "trenches", I did try playing around with Z hop but there are now on the filament profile z settings and on the infill😅
Will do! Putting it on the list right now! I have heard of people that were using grid infill would hear the nozzle drag on the infill. Switching this to Gyroid has solved the problem for them. Out of curiosity, what infill type are you using and does it happen with all infill types?
Howdy pard'. So about six months ago you switched from Orca to Creality Print 5? Have you published a video saying why you've swapped ships? I mean absolutely no critique, just curious because I've heard conflicting 'things' regarding Creality Print 5...thanks.
I have not switched!!! I actually use Orca, Bambu Studio, Creality Print & Cura depending on what Printer I'm using. I find all of them great slicers. A lot of my videos lately have been for Creality Print primarily because there is limited support for Creality Print.
Hi Bill. Did you know there's an update for Creality Print 5.1.4, it's 5.1.6, I just finished installing it, you don't loose all your settings. Regards Gary 🙂
@ hi Bill, I like it. After I did the flow calculation and the volume metric flow, I’m not getting any layer lines at all, just some fine cobweb stringing at times, otherwise all is great. Cheers, take care. 👍🏻
Skips a line? In the z-axis? If the z axis, I would check to make sure that there is no debris on the vertical screw, or look for some interference that might be causing the filament to get hung up when it reaches a particular height. What printer are you using?
@@JayEm16 I had it once on my Ender, the filament was getting snagged. Then it would break free. Another thing to check is the filament spool and make sure that there is no burrs on the inside.
@@JayEm16 You didn't say which printer you had, so I don't know if this will help. But I got 2, Ender 3 V3 Plus printers and on one, I printed out the top rail spool holder, made an extension cable for the runout sensor and mounted it on top. Now, I have the filament on top, going right into the runout sensor and then directly into the extruder. No longer PTFE tube to cause resistance. Since then, the ONLY time I had a layer missed issue is when the particular filament I was using, sort of unwound a bit and snagged itself under its own filament. Once released, the prints go without issue. It would be good to know, specifically which printer you have. No matter which, one test you can do is to feed filament from the spool through the PTFE tube, but just before letting it go into the extruder, you pull the end of it to see if there's a lot of resistance. On my old printer, any resistance would cause this problem. On that printer, I had to take apart the extruder and stretch the spring so that the gear would be pushed tighter against the filament. This worked. ???

The avoid crossing walls tip now makes TPU printing so much easier, thanks
Agreed! Thanks for comment and thanks for watching!
Bill, you are the best source for informations about the Creality print. Thank you.
Thank you for those kind words & thanks for watching these videos! It's very much appreciated!

Very useful content with great delivery. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the kind words & thanks for watching!
Awesome work man I’ve been following you for quite a bit and you left some awesome tips. Help my printing quality really good.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment and the kind words!! And thank you for watching!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
gracias por el video saludos, muy buenos tips

You just solved my glossy print problem I noticed this weekend.
Any joy on the underside of supported prints looking stringy?
Tfs❤ Can you do the same fixes in Cura? Not sure if its quite as sophisticated as Creality print😊
Yes, Some of them by using per model settings others I'm going to have to dig into. Sounds like a good idea for an up coming video?

In the "Avoid crossing walls" tooltip it says that leaving it at 0 disables it?
I noticed that to. I think what they are trying to say is that leaving it at 0 let's the slicer algorithm decide.

Yes sir! Sure do and I'm running it!! How are you liking it so far?

Ive been getting prints that look like it skips a line ive tried everything i dont know what the heck to do happened outta no where

@ yea on the Z. Its so strange, i wish could post a picture but i will try that thank you. Awesome tip video
@@JayEm16 I had it once on my Ender, the filament was getting snagged. Then it would break free. Another thing to check is the filament spool and make sure that there is no burrs on the inside.
@ it seems to be happening with polyterra only which isnt as smooth. So going through bowden tube might be snagging it
