Review on 🖨️ Upgraded CR-10 V3 3D Printer Motherboard with 300x300x400mm Print Volume by Dan Bobbert

I own a business and regularly need dumb things like a 5/16 to 3/8 fuel line adapter, so often that I troubleshoot with different hose sizes and it drives me crazy to play around with minor hacks - SO my first print was a 5/16 to 3/8 adapter! I went to Tinkerbot and started playing around. My first draft came out a bit short BUT everything was perfect! I made a second one that was longer, no prongs, and will refine it a bit. The print quality is beyond excellent, I didn't feel any roughness or distortion - the notches came out VERY smooth and precise! Now I'm going to print ALL my shop test equipment! Review: I bought this after spending WEEKS online looking at reviews/specs and ended up switching back and forth between ender5 pro and this device but couldn't turn down updates although for 200 more. Came partially assembled but it's not half as complicated as some of the previous models I've seen, even for a beginner like me. The frame is very strong and helps to move - very nice! It was easy to assemble (I repair engines for a living). Pros: For the most part it's all pretty self-explanatory - just assemble and follow the instructions. starting to change and update things, i just wanted the updates to be in place. Also, I'm not sure what will happen with warranty/upgrades. However, the machine heats up quickly and runs very quietly (control box fan is LOUD!) Almost NO fumes/odors Parts literally slide out of bed! Can't say enough Cons: Hmmm - nothing that comes to mind. If you're on a budget I'd probably go with the Ender 3/Ender 5 Pro, but this device has amazing upgrades. Very satisfied and can't wait to get this machine up and running. ***DON'T FORGET TO SWITCH US 110V POWER *** - it comes pre-installed with 220V which I think is safer. If you accidentally set it to 110 and use 220 POOF, so walk past them wisely. 110 will not damage it when setting 220V machine hardware setting (required). The next step is to level the bed: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Step 1/3: Use the Prepare -> RV menu (this just puts the nozzle in the corner of the bed). Step 2/3: Prepare -> Disable stepper motors (this will unlock the motors so you can manually move the platform and print head to set the platform height) Step 3/3: Now level the platform here - it's easy, be just careful. Take a piece of printer-sized paper, place it on the bed and pass it under the nozzle - now the rotation of the large plastic wheel causes the bed to slowly rise and fall. adjust so that the paper has a medium resistance, not too light and not too strong. Repeat step 3 over and over, starting with 4 corners, every time you adjust one corner the others disappear - keep going until they are all good. My first print didn't stick to the bed because I hadn't done it well enough, so I re-aligned and checked for the stains all over the bed - once I did that I was in business. Software: Understand how 3D printing works first. You have a 3D model (e.g. of a potato). A 3D file is just a potato, and there are hundreds of different programs, printers and settings (cuts) - for example you can print the SAME potato in 2 or 3mm slices, the same potato in different "cuts". " (or franz fries) so slicing is required before EVERY print according to the printer AND slice settings. Slicing also allows you to fix problems such as: B. Slowing down the first layer to make the model stick to the bed, but that's another entry. The first thing you want to do is download Cura and select cr10 as your model - Cura now fits the cr10 series and knows how to process 3D files into chunks that fit your car. So every time you upload a 3D file (like STL from Thingiverse) or CREATE a new model (online on Tinkerbot), upload the STL file to Cura, cut it (one click actually), export/save to SD card - and now your fries are indeed a pile of fries, ready to print. When you insert the SD card into the printer, it will be listed under the print settings - click on it, the bed will warm up and after 2-4 minutes the print will start! I highly recommend doing a test print at bed level first. There's a great one that takes less than 5 minutes and prints big squares across the bed - this confirms your settings are good. It's wrong to wait for a 20-minute misprint, so don't use animal samples for that.
