Big thanks to @CNC_Kitchen for creating and sharing BumpMesh! It made light work of adding wood grain to my bookcase risers. Now the robot vac fits.

My first X1C shredded a belt at 8k hours, replaced it and it was a pain, not really designed to repair. After another 1k hours the bad bearing revealed itself by screeching. After spending several hours trying to figure out how to replace the bearing, I sold it for parts. My Prusa XL also lost a belt due to a bad bearing, it was at 7k hours. It cost me less than $20 to get the parts to repair. Repair took a couple hours, it now has probably 12-15k hours. I like Prusa for the repairable nature. My oldest MK3S+ is pushing 25k hours

@AzzyDesignWorks @JoshMurrah Is there really any difference between Prusa, Qidi or Bambu in terms of reliability?

Good news - Prusa has the pre-assembled MK4s down to $870 shipped to the USA (cheaper shipping, and 20% off, pretty good discount) - bad news, is that I just don't think this is a competitive price at all anymore for your typical consumer. I'm guessing this is mostly turning into a farm-use, or commercial-use printer maybe?

Amazon has a delay before the purchase enters the queue. As a seller, it appears to be an hour, I can see the pending order, but not access it or create a shipping label. Something similar, with clear communication may be an answer. If an order is canceled without choosing a defect (not as described, arrived damaged etc..) the customer pays return shipping. Instead of a shipping charge, there may be some charge (10-20%) that would cover material and the minimal time to dispose of the in progress print.

Alright, we have a problem We are starting parts too quickly. Sellers on our Teleport 3d print on demand service might have a customer change their mind and cancel an order. But we are already producing it, (and sometimes packing it) We currently allow the seller full refund with one click cancellation and intend to continue. Any other suggestions though? We don't want to put a delay on processing to let everyone settle, because that would slow it down. Bad solution

@reprinted3D @Prusa3D Shoot me the sliced file and I will print it on mine, it will eliminate an issue with the g-code. I have .4 and .6 nozzles. jake@azjake.com

Better, but still not perfect. @Prusa3D

Abstract Art: another one of my many talents 🎨🤌 Featuring the Prusa CORE One's HF .4 nozzle assembly in all its glory—complete with heater block, thermistor, thermocouple, and that stylish silicone sock. The vibrant blue hue courtesy of @PrintedSolid Jesse PLA. 100% human error on my part—not the machine or filament's fault 😂 @Prusa3D @PrintedSolid

@CultLaser I run the Creality Space Pi and the SUNLU Official Filament Dryer Box S4. Both work good, but the Creality is easer to load with my limited space, I put it between 2 printers and can feed both. Usually I just have it feeding TPU and pre-drying the next roll for that printer.

Hey 3D printing frens. What are you all using for filament drying for engineering grade materials? Seems like my old trusty dryers are on the way out, and its been a couple of years since I've looked around.

My day one XL gave me some problems, but they pretty much were my fault. It runs great now, 7000ish hours. My kit Core one is awesome, zero complaints and excellent results. I don't love the Nextruder for TPU, I run one XL head with a .6 nozzle and its does pretty good, just slower than X1C or the Centuri Carbon. This also may be operator error.

Alright ill admit that I've been hard on @Prusa3D for the last few years... But that's because I want to see them be a competitive option in the modern 3D print landscape. I've had great luck with my MK4 in terms of printing (wifi is completely broken though). Does everyone feel like the core one/XL is at a point where it can be recomended? Maybe it's the social media bubble but I've seen a lot of minor issues over the years that feel like these are still in the beta phase. I'm willing to give Prusa another shot if the general consensus is that all the major issues on these machines have been fixed, the wireless functionality is usable, and print quality is on par with other modern machines.

I have a day 1 XL was dual now 5 head. I had a few issues in the beginning, including sending in for repair, but really these were not machine issues and ended up being due to the printer being in a drafty area. I added an exclosure and have about 8000 hrs on mine, no major issues. The belt failed (bearing issue) at 6000 hrs, pretty easy job to replace and it prints with no issues. I do some functional prints of PETG with TPU integration and it does excellent. I run .4 in 3 heads and .6 in 2 for TPU or faster print portions. It does really good mixing nozzle sizes and materials. My Core 1 is great, zero issues, better quality than my MK4s and X1C. No complaints.

Asking a question… don’t come at me. Is it official? I’m Prusa XL a bust? I see so many having issues, and returning them in some cases? Is the core one toast? I’ve seen the production videos, but I keep getting fed quality issues? Who has these machines and give some insight. I’ve been eyeing a xl for a long time… but if it has problems? Genuinely question.

@reprinted3D @Prusa3D @PrintedSolid @PrintedSolid did a great job fixing mine up when I was having some issues with banding. They were super fast and it works great now. They also reached out and got the exact files I was using to print to verify the machine was fixed and sent me those prints back after repair

Well, the @Prusa3D is all packed up and ready to be sent to @PrintedSolid. I have to send them a SLEW of pictures to approve my packing job before they will send me a shipping label. (The label you see is from them sending the box to me.)

@Frytechllc Sign me up

@reprinted3D @Prusa3D

@reprinted3D @Prusa3D "Enable ramming" made the biggest change with stringing. I print black PETG and gray TPU and the stringing looked crappy. These settings and a .6mm nozzle (on the TPU tool) have printed 100s of hours flawlessly.

Hey all you @Prusa3D people? Does anyone have a retraction setting for using TPU on the #XL? I ran a retraction test from 0-5mm and still saw stringing at that length. I'm sure I could run another from 5-10mm with the length of the nozzle, but I'd rather not risk a clog.

@fabworks_guy Very nice!

Love a thick steel cut with oxygen. Who needs a mill!

@eMediaTweets I use this one for everything many times a day, it's still holding up after 4 years. amzn.to/4jRdlaK

Do you weigh your spools? What scale do you use?

@loyalmoses Nice job!

We just built a brand new 1,000 sq ft addition to Studio B… with our own hands. 💪 Concrete, framing, electrical, finish work—my whole family put in the hours. In just 10 days, Studio B has grown into nearly 1,500 square feet of dedicated space for filming 3D printing content, showcasing printers and filament, and even shooting short films along with a couple of needed offices. We’re bringing you more room for activities, more machines, and way more creative possibilities. @Polymaker_3D, @BambulabGlobal, @Creality3dP, @formlabs, @lulzbot3D, @QIDI_3dprinter, @Flsun_official, @Elegoo_Official and more—everything we’ve wanted to feature, now has a place to shine. Thank you for sticking with us during the build—we’ll be filming from the new space in less than a week. Here’s a quick video of the space from a day ago. Drywall goes up today! Let’s go! 🔥

@Burnstation19 No problem, hope you get it sorted out.

@AzJake_H thank you for posting this, i saw a post a few months ago from someone printing ASA with similar issues....it was the draft from the rear fans was their issue as well

Good morning 🌞 Today's challenge...find out wtf happened here 😅 K2Plus printing Prusa Orange PETG...maybe I'll just print these on the Prusa mk3 instead 😂😂
