3D Printing Geek

When printing with systems using a colour changing mechanism like the CFS (AMS, MMU etc) the majority of the print time will be spent on colour swaps. The CFS needs between 2:30 - 3:00 minutes for a change (cutting, retracting, feeding, purging). For a colour swap on average 2 of the purge poops are produced, depending on the difference between the colours it can vary between 1 and 3 but most times two. The chamber temperature is not affected by it. On the K2 Combo you have only passive heating but in case the desired temperature gets higher it uses the case fan to keep it stable. In case you need better control over the chamber temperature check out the K2 Pro, or Plus which both have an actively heated build chamber, and also even bigger build volumes of 300 mm^3 / 350 mm^3. The hotend keeps the temperature stable at high speeds, too, due to its long heating zone and the compact ceramic heater that quickly reacts on temperature drops. I hope that answers your questions?

@PrintingGeek I need a compact multi-material rig for my workshop. Does the CFS keep up with rapid swaps without drowning you in purge waste? Can that chamber actually hold temp when pushing high flow?

I’ve spent the last week with a multi-material budget friendly flagship that everyone’s been eyeing. There’s a lot of talk about "pro-level" features, but I wanted to see how the hardware actually handles high-speed flow and filament swaps in a real-world enclosure. Is this the compact powerhouse we’ve been waiting for, or are there hidden trade-offs in the assembly?

Hm, seems you're a copycat, or how does it come you just copy one of the earlier comments... but definitely lack its quality and originality? Or, as we say in Germany: People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones! In any case, your comment reveals that you haven’t watched a single one of my videos all the way through. Besides, with my small channel, I don’t have the revenue or the equipment needed to produce content at the same high quality as a channel 300 times my size. But go ahead and keep picking on the little guys, you sleazy trolls. That's it—from now on, I'll only respond to factual comments. You're welcome to keep typing your fingers raw here.

@PrintingGeek Ha Ha! Damn, A Temu @joeltelling. Copies everything almost... but definitely lacks quality and originality.

@AndrewASink @3dprintingnerd I tried to do the Joel high-five once, but I missed the camera and accidentally knocked over a half-finished Benchy. The similarities end there. 😂

@PrintingGeek I legit thought that was @3dprintingnerd at first with a filter or something until I full-screened the video 🤣

@MrPewpyButWhole Wow. I'm truly honored that you're putting me on the same level as Joel. Thank you so much—it really motivates me to keep going! @joeltelling

@PrintingGeek this is a blatant rip off of 3d printing nerd

@PrintingGeek Bro... 😐 Identity theft is illegal. 🤦

New machine. New ecosystem. New headaches? 🧐 I’m breaking down a "Combo" unit to hit the market. It promises a seamless multi-material workflow, but does the mechanical execution live up to the hype? I’m sharing the data on print speeds and surface finish today at 5pm. You might be surprised by where this machine actually fits in your workshop.

I love printing at crazy speeds, as long as the quality doesn't suffer too much. In this case I don't care because it's a functional part. It just needs to be good enough for it's job without winning a beauty contest 😁

@CraftyFleur Merci beaucoup. ❤️ But you'll have to be patient, because I can't reveal it until the next 2-3 weeks are up.

@PrintingGeek Haha filament poop happens! Congrats on the 28h success. Looking forward to the reveal 💩🔥

The "Poop" goes on. Somehow my provisional poop collection bin didn't stay in position, leading to get my floor covered with a lot of filament poop 💩. Luckily the long print I started two days ago finished successfully after 28 hours and 15 minutes 😊 Thanks to everyone who kept the fingers crossed 🤞 That print will be revealed in my next video I'm currently working on. In the meantime watch my other videos on my YouTube channel (link in my profile 😉)

Massive print going. It still has ~20 hours left. Let's keep fingers crossed that it finishes without problems. 🤞

When you think there's no way to get Klipper Firmware for your 3D printer because there's no config for it yet then my recent YouTube video may come right. It describes how to get all the information required to build a printer.cfg from scratch! It covers all of the following (check out my YouTube channel to watch it): - Missing Klipper Config and Why It Matters - Searching the Official Klipper Config Repository - Hardware Detective Mode Begins - Identifying the Printer Mainboard - Finding Pinouts Inside Marlin Source Code - Manual Pinout Tracing Strategy Explained - Using AI to Identify Bootloader Offsets - Visual PCB Tracing with High Resolution Photos - Tracing Endstops Using a Multimeter - Identifying Stepper Driver Pin Connections - Tracing MOSFETs for Heaters and Fans - Compiling and Flashing Custom Klipper Firmware - Building printer.cfg Completely From Scratch - Finding the MCU Serial ID Using lsusb - Fixing Klipper Connection Failures - Critical Safety Check Testing Thermistors - Heater Testing and Fire Prevention - Stepper Motor Verification Buzz Test and Direction - Final Calibration PID Tuning and Rotation Distance - Conclusion and Next Steps youtu.be/w1yUkXxpLg8

It would be really cool 😎 if you'd give my recent YouTube video a hype, please!

In my new video, I cover - Methods to get Klipper on ANY 3D printer - The "No Config" workaround logic - Create a Klipper config from scratch Upgrade your print speeds today.

The biggest fear is bricking. 🧱 Standard Klipper tutorials rely on copy-pasting files for supported 3D printers. If you don't understand what those files do, you're flying blind. My new video flips the script: We figure out the pins configuration from zero, so you understand EXACTLY how the MCU talks to the hardware.

I can't install Klipper because there's no config file for my specific printer..." Stop letting this excuse keep you on slow firmware. I just released a method to install Klipper on ANY 3D printer from scratch. Yes, even weird/custom ones.

Happy New Year 🎇 to all of you! @DuScarlett65358 @SGirl0311 @PCBWayOfficial

Chuck, thank you for clarifying the situation directly. I realize now that my understanding was incomplete. It’s incredibly frustrating to learn that they not only copied your original work but also your V2 features and a patented product like the BLTouch. This behavior undermines the very essence of our community. I strongly believe in the open-source sharing culture that has driven the growth of 3D printing, which contrasts sharply with a patent-protected, closed-source environment. It's particularly disheartening when companies, especially those based in China, take advantage of this open spirit without respecting licenses or contributing their own improvements. This new information has completely changed my perspective. Your decision makes perfect sense, and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

@PrintingGeek @reprinted3D @SGirl0311 @geeetech @PCBWayOfficial There was never an agreement. They still sell an inaccurate clone and even copied features of our version 2. They also copied the patented BLTouch without permission per the BLTouch creator who told me that via email. So, I will never work with Geeetech. But do what you want.

And finally, the next is there ☺️ youtu.be/HrGk9Z9bA0k @SGirl0311 @geeetech @PCBWayOfficial @reprinted3D
