3D printing technology has revolutionized manufacturing, prototyping, and creativity. However, like any technology, it comes with its challenges, one of the most common being filament interruption and breakage during printing. These issues can be frustrating and result in failed prints, wasted material, and lost time. In this article, we will explore the causes of 3D printer filament interruption and breakage and offer practical solutions to help users minimize these disruptions. Common Causes of Filament Interruption and Breakage Low-Quality or Brittle Filament: One of the leading causes of filament breakage is poor-quality material. Over time, some filaments, …

My Configuration is as follows, **Board** : SKR 1.4 and **Wifi Module** : ESP01. The ESP01 works fine, as long it is plugged into a USB Programmer (not in Programm-Mode). I can access the ESP via IP from any computer on my network. But when I plug the ESP01 into my Board's wifi port, the ESP will not be found in my Router and cannot get reached/accessed by IP. Blue light (is guess wifi light) blinks when plugged in the Usb Programmer but does not blink when connected directly to the board wifi socket. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the solution

I have a brand new BIQU Panda Revo Hotend Upgrade for Bambu X1C printers available, accidentally ordered the wrong type. Support suggested I post here, since shipping back is too expensive. Looking to get around $120 USD or 160 CAD for it, but would work out a decent deal depending on shipping/location. Would be shipping from the Toronto area, so local would work out best, but I'm open to options, since I'd really like to just buy the correct hotend.

Hello, I have a Bigtreetech pi v1.2 board. Previously I used it for remote printing using Klipper. Now I print directly through a 3D printer and no longer use the board. Is it possible to install something on the board other than something related to 3D printing? I thought about trying to install RetroPie, but it seems to only work with the Raspberry Pi.

I'm dead in the water right now. I was updating all the software because Mainsail said all of it needed updating. Because it was taking a long time, I left for 20 minutes. When I got back, there was a small box on my window that said "connection to Mainsail failed." Since then I tried to get my printer back online; no luck. I've tried the reset button on the monitor; no luck. I deleted the micro SD card, re-formated it fat 32, and put an exact copy of what was on it originally on the card. When I booted the printer from that card, all I got was the printer is STARTING . . . After a few minutes, I turned the machine off. My guess is, the board's corrupted with everyth…

When choosing a 3D printer, there are several key factors to consider to ensure that you choose the device that best suits your needs. Here are some of the most critical aspects when choosing a 3D printer: 1. Printing technology Different technologies such as FDM (fused deposition Modeling), SLA (light curing), **SLS (Selective Laser sintering) ** have their own advantages. Choose the right printing technology according to your needs. 2. Print size Consider the size of the object you typically need to print. Select the print size range that suits your project needs. 3. Print the filamentr Make sure the printer supports the 3D printer filament you want to us…

When 3D printing helmets, it is crucial to focus on what materials to use that are both safe and lightweight. TPU is a soft and elastic material with good impact resistance and wear resistance, which is suitable for the manufacture of the lining or partial components of the helmet. It is light and soft, providing a comfortable feeling. But PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate) PETG is a heat-resistant, strong and impact-resistant material suitable for use in the manufacture of helmet shells or structural components. It's relatively lightweight and easy to 3D print. How to print TPU and PETG printer filament?

I know to perform tensile tests to assess the strength and toughness of materials. Standardized test methods can be used to compare different batches of material. A tensile tester is used to apply a controlled tension and measure the deformation of the sample. Tensile testing machine should have sufficient accuracy and reliability. Sample preparation equipment, such as laser cutting machines or other cutting equipment, is used to prepare tensile samples that meet the requirements of standard dimensions. What about the different materials required for 3D printers?

Hello, everyone. I hope this gets at least some attention from the right people, because this is getting disappointing. Over the past couple weeks, I've been in touch with BTT people on Twitter about the backlight control issue for DSI connected displays, specifically related to the CB2/BTT Pi 2 system image. Last week, I got confirmation that the issue was solved and all it took was for the support team to push the image to Github, something that should not take long, right? That was, IIRC, a week ago, and we're still seeing 1.0.4 as the latest image and still unable to use DSI displays with our boards. It's understandable that BTT is at a fast development…

I've been using Klipper on the Pad 7 to drive my printer for about a year now. 2 days ago Klipper showed the "unable to connect to mcu" error. I made no changes to the Pad 7 other than checking for Klipper updates. I think an update changed the way Klipper communicates with my printer. If this is so I have to do either or both of the following: 1. Update the [mcu] parameter in Klipper's printer.cfg file 2. Generate a new/updated firmware.bin file to load into the printer at boot time. I've not been able to find any instructions online that work for doing either of these things so I hope you can provide me with some help that will allow my Pad 7 to connect t…

Hello, I have an Ender 3 with an SKR Mini E3 V3, and I just bought the Micro Probe V2. I tried both firmware files from the firmware tab, but neither worked. First, I tried the normal wiring with firmware-ender3-skr-mini-e3-v3.0-microprobev2.bin. When I used this firmware, the printer tried to home and level the bed in the air, not even coming close to the bed. The probe retracts and then doesn’t level again. Next, I did the other wiring for Z homing and used firmware-ender3-skr-mini-e3-v3.0-microprobev2-for-z-homing.bin. With this firmware, the printer moves to the middle and descends without deploying the probe. The nozzle hits the bed and doesn’t stop un…

Hi all, I have went on a bit of a spending binge and purchased a whole bunch of BTT parts for my mercury 1.1 build. I am putting a stealthburner on instead of the standard printhead. So I purchased all these parts SKR3EZ, BTTPad7 with CB1, BTT EBB SB2209/2040 for the printhead, a BTT knomi screen, and a SFS V2.0. SHH dont tell the wife.... anyways I wanna get this all hooked up is there a good documentation source for a similar setup I was hoping there would be as I stuck with one company but so far no luck. Thanks for any info anyone can share.

Printer: Ender-3 V2 with BLTouch Motherboard: BTT SKR MINI E3 V3.0 Printer was working with SKR MINI E3 V2 until the board died. I replaced it with the V3, built Marlin firmware and now it wont heat bed past 52C. Hotend heats fine up to 205C Using Repetier-Server, I send a print with a bed temp set to 60C but, once the bed temp hits 50C it takes about a minute to reach 52C. Soon after there is a set of rapid beeps followed by a sustained beep until I power hit. This gcode has printed successfully on the V2 board before the V2 died. Configuration_adv.h Configuration.h

I updated the firmware on both my P1P and my Panda Touch, and it has quit working. Despite being on firmware 1.0.3 there is, of course, NO DOCUMENTATION on how in the pacific blue hell you actually enable the "cloud" mode that supposedly exists to make it function again. Can anybody tell me where the fuck I go to access this setting?

Printer Model: Voron 2.4r2 MCU / Printerboard: BigtreeTech STM32F446 I had my Chamber Lighting LED connected to J57. This is output is always on and the LED worked, but I could not turn it off. I moved the LED connector to pin PF6. I have updated the config file however, I can't get it to turn on. LED Strip for the case-light connected directly to pin PF6 on the Octopus. I don’t think that these are RGB because they only have a black and red wire. I also have an LED light where the extruder is. This is connected to pin PB0. I would like to know what I need to put into the config file to test these LEDs. These are the LED lights that are by…

Hi guys i have stumbled into some silly problem and I can't find a way out of this. I have skr pico and i want to use it as a motor driver for CNC plotter project (simmilar but not exactly) or just a regular motor driver. I'm sure there is a way to make it, but all i can find is that i can only use clipper that is installed on separate raspberry PI. Which is strange bearing in mind that board has RP2040 chip. Does anyone has a lead that I can look into it, or just scrap this Skr Pico board and buy some other motor drivers ?

Folks, I have a BBT SKR Pico which I intend to use with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to run a Kipper installation to upgrade the electronics of an old MakerBot Mini Replicator (essentially replacing all the electronics from the stepper motors inward). Since the SKR Pico contains an RP2040 processor and a bunch of flash memory, it's also candidate to run the CircuitPython environment. Why would anyone want to run Python on the SKR Pico board? It comes down to the TMC2209 driver chips on the board and driving steppers. Trinamic (now part of Analog Devices), the designer of the chips, has long offered a test and development software/hardware suite for developing step…

So, i'll start this thread by saying this: I am at fault here. I purchased an SKR mini board to replace the stock one on my ender 3, everything worked fine and is still working fine. The problem that I have is that my Micro USB post bacame unnattached I tried moving the printer with a cable there, so the connection was broken, I don't have microsoldering equipament to attached it again. My question is: Is there anyway I connect a usb cable to the motherboard? Thru dupont wires or something, or the only way to get it fixes is to microsolder the post back to the motherboard? Thank you all for your attention!

My usb port broke off of my SKR mini e3v3. In order to NOT buy a new board, I'm trying to get UART working. Two files are empty, no text in them: cmdline.txt and config.txt. Why are these text files empty and how can I get UART working?

I have ENDER 3 PRO and have changed the motherboard to SKR mini E3 3.0 I also add BL touch and TFT35 touch screen and finally smart filament sensor. Problem is when I am trying to make all settings in marlin to work this. I used Ender 3 pro pre setings from marlin and change all what I need to, but it doesn't work. BTT have made only firmware for ender 3 with motherboard and BLtouch. Can anyone help me with marlin to make all this work together on my ender 3 pro? Or is it better to use klipper for this?? I didn't use it for now.
