Been trying to trouble shoot this a bit and not getting anywhere so hopefully someone can help me out. 

The printer has been running fine for about a year, and been through standard and then abs like V2. Moved to abs pro and got some part plates printed but the adhesion was getting worse and worse to the point nothing sticks to the build plate. 

I have upped the bottom layers to about 90 seconds, print encloseur warmed to 30c for over an hour and still just a print left on the fep.

I have soaked the build plate overnight I IPA and it feels rough where the patter is. What else can I do to bring this back to life? 

Few pics of the last try... This was just the cones of calibration as it was quick to print to test the adhesion.

Not anycubics fault, just bummed I'll have to wait longer

​

Got everything unboxed, put together, and fired up. Right as calibration started, this constant, awful noise kicked in and didn't stop. Since this is my first printer, I had no clue if it was normal or if I was about to blow something up.

Even after calibration finished and it was just sitting there doing nothing, the noise kept going.

I called a buddy of mine who has the same printer and sent him a video. He immediately told me, "Yeah, that's not right." He had me double-check that I removed all the transit screws and that nothing had fallen inside. Everything looked clear.

So, I ended up having to tear the entire back panel off the printer to investigate. Turns out, a black ribbon cable was rubbing directly against the left fan near the motherboard and power supply.

I’ll drop a picture of the fan in the comments. Thankfully, I caught it after the machine had only been running for half an hour or so, otherwise it might have chewed right through the cable and caused a way bigger headache. The cable is a little scuffed, but not severed, so hopefully it holds up fine.

I gotta tell you though... the sheer panic when a brand-new printer sounds like a dying air compressor is not good for the heart lol. Anyone else run into something like this out of the box?

I’ve been designing 3D printable parts mainly around a simple idea: if a small household part breaks or something is missing, maybe we can just print a better replacement.

Here are three functional projects I’ve designed and actually used:

1. Bed Lift Handles – TPU Replacement

The original soft rubber-like handles on my double bed frame broke after several years of use.

I redesigned them in TPU for ACE / TPU 68D, with a reinforced geometry, comfortable grip and two-screw mounting.

Printed flat, without supports.

Print settings:
0.20 mm layer height
15–20+ walls
30–50% infill
8–10 top/bottom layers
TPU 68D

Model: Bed Lift Handles – TPU Replacement

2. Ultimate Speed 500533 Hydraulic Trolley Jack – TPU Handle Clips

A tiny part can make an otherwise perfectly functional tool annoying to use.

One of the original handle clips on my trolley jack broke, so instead of replacing the jack or hunting for a spare part, I measured it and designed a TPU replacement.

The clip installs directly onto the handle with no screws or additional hardware and can be printed without supports.

Designed specifically for the Ultimate Speed 500533 trolley jack.

3. IKEA HEMNES Clip-On Bedside Shelf

This one started with a simple problem: needing a small bedside shelf without drilling holes into the bed.

The solution is a clip-on mounting system for the IKEA HEMNES bed, designed for a 200 × 18 mm wooden shelf.

No drilling.
No screws into the bed.
No permanent modifications.

The printed parts use PETG and are designed to be easy to print and assemble.

What I like most about 3D printing isn't necessarily printing decorative objects.

It's being able to look at a broken or inconvenient part and think:

Can I redesign this and print a better solution?

These are three examples from my own home.

If you print any of them, I'd really appreciate seeing your Make/Print photos and feedback. I'm especially interested in how the TPU parts perform after long-term use.

What is the most annoying small household part you've ever wished you could just print?

I have a very used kobra 3 and I’ve put a good thousand hours on it but it’s getting to its downfall I need help with whatever these little bumps are?

The second slot in my ACE unit has this constant error when doing prints. It doesn’t matter what filament is there; it’s definitely the position.

I see no signs of any obstruction or anything different in this position vs the others when looking at the rollers with the unit unloaded.

Any suggestions?

Hello everyone.

I've been having a reoccurring issue lately of my Kobra x failing after approx 3 layers. Initially it would get about 60% of a print finished and then air print the remaining and say it's completed with no error. Initially it was just petg that was failing.

Now it's doing it with PLA as well. Petg first layer was looking like very rough. Attached are a few photos. This all began after I had a clog issue from the ace 2. Clog was cleared, problem remained. New nozzle, problem remained. Problem persists whether feeding from ace2 or not. Any help is much appreciated.

This was shipped in the acessories box with my Kobra S1 Max Combo, does anyone know what it is for? Didn't find anything in the manual
