Now that I’ve upgraded the firmware on my Ender 5 Pro, and I’m getting reliably good prints, I decided it was time to try one of the torture tests that everyone seems to think is one of the toughest: the Twin Towers String Test. Here are the results:
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“custom”,“height”:“311”,“title”:“LayerTab.PNG”,“width”:“360”,“data-attachmentid”:578}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“custom”,“height”:“311”,“title”:“ExtruderTab.PNG”,“width”:“357”,“data-attachmentid”:579}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“custom”,“height”:“313”,“title”:“AdditionsTab.PNG”,“width”:“364”,“data-attachmentid”:580}[/ATTACH]
Those are the 3 tabs I have snipped so far. Do they help?
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:583}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:584}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:585}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:586}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:587}[/ATTACH]
Here’s the first 5 tabs…
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:589}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:590}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:591}[/ATTACH][ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“small”,“data-attachmentid”:592}[/ATTACH]
OK, I think that’s all the tabs from Simplify3D. Hope it helps.
I am a new to 3D printing and still having many problems that I am trying to figure out over all. the bigest one is downloading files in the STL format and bring into cura 4.6.1 and then putting in the correct formation for the MP10 printer. Once I do that it dose not want to print on the 3D print for some reason. any suggestions
Try printing this default Cat that came with the ender 3. http://maximo.net.au/3D/ender3files/ cat3.5h.gcode (you can download by going to this link and right click Save As on the cat code)
If it prints, then you need to fix some Slicer settings (you may not have the correct printer setup.)
If it doesnt print, then it is a hardware issue and you may need to troubleshoot the physical equipment first.
@Leo Right now I’m trying to learn enough about Fusion 360 to design a better adapter to get direct drive on my Ender 5. I know there are lots of them out there but, so far, I’m not completely happy with any of them.
I like it. If I can find a piece of 2020 I might just try it for my setup. Besides, it would let me avoid having to design a new adapter for the existing mounting plate.
@shocky47 Autodesk offers Fusion 360 for free for personal, non-commercial use (well, to be fair, there is a plan for startups). You have to get a free Autodesk account. Be aware, your plans are stored “in the cloud”. Also be aware that, like other Autodesk products, there is a steep learning curve (think AutoCAD). I do think Fusion 360 is somewhat simpler to learn than AutoCAD, but it’s still not easy.
