Ontopic The 3D printing thread

Fusion 360 is pretty quick to pick up. Lots of tutorials to be found in YouTube targeted at the younger 3D printing generation.

I use a weird mix of both of them.
 
Just heated up my hot end to 248°C so I could wirebrush the PETG off the grub screws holding the thermistor and heater cartridges, removed them, then tossed the whole shebang, still boiling hot, into a jar full of ethyl acetate to try and dissolve out the PETG clog.

The clog was actually bad enough that it had backed up into my extruder, I had to take a little drill bit and work it loose from the Bondtech with a brass hammer.

I see there's a Klipper config file out there now for my th3d ezboard. Anyone have an opinion on why I should or shouldn't use klipper as opposed to marlin?

Big advantage of klipper is input shaping. You can strap ADXL345 accelerometer boards to the bed and hotend, and it'll figure out the resonant frequency and whatever and precompensate for it so you can print a bunch faster.

Not quite so important for bed slingers, but on stupid fast Voron type things it's highly recommended.

I just run Marlin. I probably haven't upgraded my printer firmware in a couple years now because, well, it's adequate.

Yeah, the Prusa MK4 looks absolutely fabulous.

Load cell bed probing + perfect first layer every time, without having to do live Z adjusting, which eliminates like 90% of the pain of 3D printing. Everything else is cool and all, but that alone makes it worth it.
