    Building a 3D printer with my 3D printer

    Nozzle clogging can have many root causes from the design of your hot end to material issues. For me, most of my clogs have been from a gap between the bowden tube and the hot end on my old printer. This allows the plastic to expand into this gap creating a plug. I would then have to disassemble...

    Building a 3D printer with my 3D printer

    I did not do tap as it wasn't out there when I built mine. I did switch to the Omron sensor over the spec'd one they had in the BOM from AliExpress. I honestly have had zero issues with my bed leveling. It makes me feel as though tap is over engineering for these machines. But, I can see the use...

    Building a 3D printer with my 3D printer

    Chris I was in your shoes a few years ago myself. I too built my own Voron 2.4 300x300x350. I started out with an Ender 3 and managed to print all my ABS parts on it which was quite the challenge for sure. I ended up putting it in an Ikea Lack enclosure to accomplish my printing. It was...

    Smoked turkey breast lunch meat

    They are the Butterball 3lb roasts. They say boneless but I don’t see any info about them being skinless.

    Smoked turkey breast lunch meat

    I have a couple of boneless turkey breast “roasts” that I had my wife pick up with the intent of making our own lunch meat from. I also have some Harvest Brine dry brine from Naturiffic which has made THE best turkey for the last 2 years hands down…but I digress. What I would like to do is use...

    My Home Office

    Looks good. A couple of those trucks look like the 3Dsets printed ones I've seen and have contemplated buying myself. I've never pulled the trigger on them though.

    Picture Quality on YoutubeTV

    Pulledpork is correct. If you don't upgrade you won't get 4K. Also upgrading to 4K gives you unlimited streams as well instead of just the 3 as an added bonus. That comes in handy if you have a full house like mine.

    Too much smoke

    Well I finally got my 2nd batch of belly bacon cured and was able to smoke it this last weekend and test out my 3D printed draft inducer. This thing turned out great. This bacon was not too smokey and had great color and flavor. Was smoked with apple pellets for 8 hours. Thank you everyone for...

    3D Printer

    I just seen the file and that the handle is printed separately from the rod. Printing cylinders that tall is always a problem for me as well. My best success has been to print them horizontal with support from bed plate only. But then the issue is they are never truly round at that point.

    3D Printer

    Did you design this yourself? If you did you could put a flat on the top of the handle and print it standing up. If you didn't design it you could possibly use the cut function in your slicer to accomplish the same thing and put a flat on the top of the handle and print it vertically. This...

    3D Printer

    If I had dimensions I could also model something up pretty quick if needed. Let me know if I can help.

    Too much smoke

    Well it appears to be working. I have a steady flow of smoke out. I took a video but it doesn’t look like I can post a video. I think I’ll test again to be sure tomorrow if it’s less windy. But it appears to be working as designed.

    Too much smoke

    Well here it is. I will test it tonight when I get home. But the air flow does appear to all be directed out the top and I can feel a little air movement from the bottom pulling up. when I run some smoke I will see if it does induce a draft like I hope. One other thing I need to do is...
