Hello, I’m back and want to know what brand of grade you guys get to put on the threaded and smooth rods for the printer?

I’ve heard some people use oil for one and grease for the other, but I wanted a specific brand to get to make sure I’m prepared once it’s time.

Cheers

Hello, I’ve printed my benchy and a few test prints, but I realized after using my Mac for elegoo slicer, that the slicer won’t save any settings I’ve put in. Does anyone have a way to keep whatever settings I want to stay after a print is done/ when I shut off the slicer?

I use the elegoo rapid PLA+ black, and I have tried to change the speed on the matrix but it will not allow me to change the speed from balanced, nor does the slicer have any modes for quiet printing like other comments have said. Am I doing something wrong? I can’t change the speed on the printer screen either.

PAUSE BOTTOM ISNT WORKING, TRIED MY FIRST BENCHY OFF THE MATRIX APP AND ITS VIBRATING THE ENTIRE WOODEN DESK HEAVILY! HOW DO I LOWER THIS FOR SLICER OR ON THE PRINTER SCREEN NEXT TIME??

(Skip for actual question) Alright, i know I’ve asked a lot of questions in this subreddit but I’ve been drying my filament and realized I almost burnt my house down with a burning electrical outlet which is why I haven’t turnt on the printer or put the USB into my computer.

(Actual question) While I’m waiting, can anyone tell me if the bottom of this printer gets hot as I will put it on wood and I’m scared it will cause the wood to heat up and weaken/light on fire.

Do you guys recommend any heat resistant mats if so?

Hello! I wanted to know how to use carbon fiber in my Centauri carbon 2 without ruining it! I want to make prints to be able to hold weight and be used for mechanical engineering purposes (prototypes)

Any tough filaments really, hopefully pla. Recommendations and tips?

Ello, I just got Nomad Sculpt today and I tried getting quad remesher in the app, but it took me to the website which said 15 for 3 months, $50, and 100 something for a license. I thought it was a one time purchase of $15 or $20? Am I looking at this wrong or did I just get told the wrong information?

Hello, I recently got a 3d printer called the Centauri carbon 2, where the max input voltage is 240 V, and a filament dryer called the sovol dryer (2 rolls) that had the same input voltage. What would be a great surge protecter to connect these 2 to that goes to the wall plug?

The Centauri carbon has an electrical power draw of 1100W at 220V or 350W at 110V. I would guess the higher power draw would be useful as it jumps up to that when heating the plate. The dryer is 48 Watts.

My budget is $30, but I’m willing to pay more so I don’t burn down my house, and it has to be 8 feet or longer.
Tell me if I need to give any more information! This subreddit seems like the one that would have answers.

Also I know nothing about electrical outlets and electricity in general.

I just brought a Centauri carbon 2 and currently trying to assemble it. I’m in a dilemma of taking a chance to replace the nozzle and breaking the entire thing inside to get a chance at 0.2 nozzle OR getting a third party hot end that seems like it has bad durability.

I genuinely am curious, why doesn’t the CC2 have a pre assembled 0.2 hotend kit to just change it out like the tutorials? 0.4 and 0.6 have one if memory serves me right. I just want mini figs without needing to have my 3d printer combust on itself after making a benchy after I tried playing Tony stark trying to change the nozzle size. Cheers.

Edit: deleted useless ps
Edit 2: deleted mention of the CC

I’m working on the ventilation for the 3d printer right now, I just wanted to know if I needed a fan since the exhaust duct distance from window to printer will only be 2-3 feet. It will have a slight curve downwards since the desk is somehow high.

Hello! I finally got my first CC2 including its foot things and extra filters for the inside to change out!
One question, I noticed the canvas just had the filaments outside where they could get wet. Anyone got a good filament cover for when it’s in use/not in use aswell? I gotta save up for the typical 3d print accessories and the extra hot end!

I’m going to buy a CC2 before the deal finishes tomorrow, but I just realized the assembled hotend on the website is for the cc, and doesn’t work for the 2nd one. The tutorials online and the wiki is only for the cc. How will I change the nozzle to 0.2 once my cc2 arrives, I want to make minis. Amazon is only showing me shady ones with 3 stars at 8 reviews. Any tutorials?

Hello, I was in the middle of buying the CC2 bundle when I realized the assembled hotend on the website is for the CC, not the second one.
How would I put a 0.2 nozzle on the second one when all the tutorials are for the first one and mostly show a fully assembled hot end kit instead of a nozzle switch?

Hello, I am going to buy a Centauri carbon 2 in a few hours. I want to know what videos can show the steps in order to have ventilation for my printer, specifically installing an exhaust duct to it going out of my window. The Reddit posts on any subreddit say I need something called an intake fan to pull out the air, other posts tell me I don’t need it and I just need to get the duct on the exhaust and then bring it out the window. I also seen some say printing pla is harmless if I open a window. Any tutorials? They seem different from each other or aren’t the CC2.

Sorry about the post flair being wrong, it won’t let me scroll and it doesn’t have one for questions. At least, for the first few.

Hello, I am buying a CC2 in about a few hours but I need to cover one last base. I heard the printer came with a filter of its own, but if I print pla, is there any way to filter out any VOCS apart from an exhaust pipe? I can’t get one of thoses at the moment.
