This plate is really shitty. PLA lifts from the plate constantly. I shouldn't have to use adhesive with this 🤦🏼‍♂️

Printing on a smooth cool plate and now this is getting extremely noticeable. Is my Z offset too close or too far. K2 Plus printer BTW.

Doing some test prints in PETG. I made a few modifications, then I'll do it in ASA. Didn't calibrate the filament because I just wanted to get these printed out already.

I went to swap out my full DXC2 cutter with an OEM Creality one and was met with this issue. When it's in correctly (image 2) the printer gives an error saying no cutter detected. When the cutter is in incorrectly (image 1) and blocking the filament hole the printer thinks everything is fine 🤦🏼‍♂️

Anyone using this on a K2 printer? I had some wear on my tubing and swapped it out for some no name Chinese tubing and it jams constantly on filament unload. I'm getting some of this Creality Star low resistant tubing today.

I was having non-stop issues on my K2 Plus with PETG boogers, small hairs, and crap sticking to the nozzle. I started using this (https://a.co/d/0eIV8nRu). I'm super impressed with how my nozzle still looks brand new after several petg and ABS prints. 🙌

Any time I modify this section it freaks out like down in image 2, I restarted the program and it continues regardless. How can I fix this?

Update:

It was just a Fusion glitch. I had to save model as a step for and re-opened it and everything worked fine.

When I extrude this small corner section, or make any kind of change to this section of the model it freaks out and creates this weird section as shown in image 2. How do I stop this from happening.

Couldn't sleep last night so I finished the design of the case I've been working on for a little bit. It supports the heatsink adapter I posted a bit ago. It also supports 2 x 80 mm fans. The orange panels should be printed with your choice of infill with no top or bottom layer creating your side panel ventilation. For the top and bottom panels use the same infill but leave the button layer on and top off to give the same visual pattern. I'm traveling, but once I get back I'll test print and upload with the parts list and instructions.

This is also designed to print on any 3D printer with a 190 x 190 mm build plate.

How do I improve the underside of where supports contact? I used support trees in "auto" on this one.

Once I updated the firmware to v1.1.2.9 my nozzle wiping is out of position and now has ground the texture off my build plate. WTH Creality! Fix your shit!

I went through a period where I thought PETG sucked ass and wouldn't print right until I realized that it was my Z-offset. Here's a few tips for those having booger or stringing PETG prints.

All done in Orca

1. Check your calibration (see first photo) plenty of YouTube videos on this

2. Start a test print and adjust your Z Offset ever so slightly until you see improvement. I adjusted by 0.01 mm and then 0.005 mm until dialed in.

3. Create a print pre-set and call in "your printer - PETG" and save the adjusted Z offset (see last photo)

I have a K2 Plus and the closest I can get my mesh bed is 0.38. I came across this little gadget and was wondering if it'll help or is 0.38 the best I'm going to get? Are there better tools and tutorials out there?
