What are some of the questions we answered this week?

Can you recommend a video on how to get your first layer right?

Should I change my start G Code to Heat-up my Nozzle at the same as the bed? Your Opinion?

I’m about to change my stock extruder to a duel gear. My question is am I going to have to calibrate my esteps or just try a small print first?

To improve quality is it worth replacing stock motors off of a Creality or Anycubic to LDO-branded 0.9 degree ones ?

What would be the best filament to use for an RC Catamaran speed boat?

What are some of the questions we answered this week?

How do I get my first layer perfect for 3D printing?

Can I upgrade my CR – 10S with a SKR Mini E3?

Question for you all, I updated my 1.3 SKR and ever since I’ve done that I cannot see the board on my computer so I cannot update it anymore it shows it on the computer but with no SD card showing up.

Hey I have a nonsticking bed any recomondation?

If you have a lPC1769 processor on the board you have to issue M22 first to see the sd card show up as a USB device?

What did we answer this week?

Do you think the ender 3 glass heated bed will work on the mingda 2d?

Is it worth replacing all moving wires with silicon wire to avoid usage stress?

I upgraded my cr-10 to a direct drive the one that you all recommended on thingiverse and now I’m having some issues looking like it’s under excluding didn’t know if I needed to change my esteps?

Do you have any tips for stopping filament twisting in the bowden tube and causing the extruder to jump and grind the filament?

What did we answer this week?

Is there a difference between an 8 bit and 32 bit board?

I’m upgrading a bunch of printers to 32 bit boards; there were still quite a few bugs in Merlin 2.0 that affected print quality. Would you stick to 1.X for now ?

Printing abs with my cr-10s pro in a enclosure getting a little warpage, using simpllif3d, any advice would be appreciated.

I am new at 3D printing, I have an Artillery sidewinder x1 new version. Do you have any recommendations as to the setting for printing with PETG?. 

What’s your opinion on Rep Rap firmware?
