What are some of the questions we answered this week?

So, what do you think of the anycubic Chiron printer?

My prints dont stick what do I do?

Question for you all what does it mean when I print one model it comes out very clean no layer lines but when I plant a different model I can see a layer lines all through it and it’s the same PLA?

I have an ender 3 v2 and added a bltouch with the smith3d firmware. When I run the bed visualizer in octoprint, it seems to come back with different measurements each time!

On my endstop. I thought it was crashing into the endstop. On the x gantry. But it turned out to be I had the belt too tight. It would not let the carriage go all the way to the endstop.

How to you level the middle of the bed my corners are perfect but the middle is way to close and there is no middle knob?

What did we answer this week?

Does the Lotmax use the same parts as the Ender 3?

 If I design a part in fusion or Tinkercad.. will it mess my specs and dimensions up if i change the wall thickness in my slicer?

Can you talk about manual supports within the slicer?

I got food grade PLA to make cookie cutters still on the “2Do” list but wanted to see if I should have a different nozzle or maybe it makes no difference?

 I’ve got an Ender 3 with SKR Mini E3 and have started getting thermal runaway errors (extruder). I think the thermistor & cable is ok. Anything else i should check before replacing the heater?

​I have someone that needs (Soap) molds made, that can be used several times, but it needs to bake in the oven for about 20 minutes @ 55C and up to a max 104C. Anything I can use? ABS? Too hot for TPU?

Does a raft count as the first layer or is it the first layer of the object being printed?
