What are some of the questions we answered this week?

When a printer says it prints either PLA or ABS can the printer use the other different filiments?

Very new to 3d world. Been printing small things off thingaverse..anything you can recommend me studying up on?

Have any of you replaced the X-axis V-slot wheels, say on an Ender 3 V2 with a linear rail setup?

Do you have any issues with PETG warping? I print PETG in an enclosure with bed temp at 80 degrees and no fan, but after a while the corners lift up.

On my new Rock 3 Pro, how tight do I need to turn the thumb screw on the direct drive extruder? Obviously too loose and it will slip, what happens if too tight?

Apart from the belt slippage are there any other causes for layer shift.

This question is for the Ender 3. Would you suggest a Z rod support for the top part of the Z rod, would this inprove printing for long term use?

What is the difference between the Mingda Rock 3 and the D3 pro?
