Re: Stinging

Sorry to hear this. I found that PrusaSlicer works so well that in my opinion it was well worth this simple conversion effort.

Still use Cura on many projects though in some special cases prefer using PrusaSlicer.
I came into this 3D Printing as a hobby to learn all I could.

Re: Stinging

This has to be difficult as TPU as I have heard is famous to stringing. Would you be in for a slicer change that I have thought was one of the best free slicer ever. If so Try Prusa slicer It has a web link to several 3D Printer configurations an a custom configuration. I start with a Ender 3 Config...

Re: Is there anybody out there?

The dimple is a great Ideal

I am using a simple cheap bed surface purchased form China.

I have enabled S-Curves which calm down down the 3D Printer a bit.

Re: Is there anybody out there?

I noticed that my heat block was askew. I went to investigate by touching it and it was LOOSE!! That could very well be the reason why all of my prints with the 4 bearing setup failed miserably. I'd like to see a diagram to see what the clearance should be from the threaded metal tube to the feed a...
