Not for me its isn’t. Try this (https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/index_tuning.html)

Otherwise, do a quick search for Ellis’ Print Tuning Guide. That should get you there.

Firstly, never take legal advice from youtube or even here. And it’s very unlikely you would ever be caught doing it as long as you don’t sell the parts. Nor should you ever reverse engineer life threat level parts. Because you ain’t that smart or good. And if you are that smart, you know better than to do so.

If you are reverse engineering something like those used sleds, it’s unlikely you are going to have any kind of paper to give you those critical dimensions. As he said, those sleds were bought second hand. You ain’t ever going to get any kind of manual with them.

As far as measuring goes, It’s all G20/G21. I’m pretty sure the overwhelming vast majority of 3D printing people own a 6"/150mm digital caliper. Metric or US Customary numbers are available at a mere push of a button. And you should also own a 6"/150mm stainless steel scale. Evem Mitutoyo are less than $20. Though I prefer Shinwa brand myself because I find them easier to read with my old feeble eyes. Buy one or several. But to be honest, just about everything in the US these days is metric. We just don’t brag about it.

Those are the 2 basic tools you need at your desk when you are reverse engineering a part or design something the new the world has never seen. Add a pencil and a sketch pad and you are set.

I’m sure Jonathan was able to provide the exact prescription at a glance.

I know it’s not as popular anymore, but this is why we calibrate our printers. [(https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/index_tuning.html)] This is an excellent guide to getting your printer to work to near perfection if you do all the tests. But it does take time and effort to learn and do.

If you switch to Orca, they have a pretty decent calibration suite built in. It’s not as rigorous as Ellis, but good enough for most things.

You can go on you tube and search for “mini excavators” or “mini skid steers” if you want to see machinery lawn ornaments. Now, there are plenty of people that own mini excavators that really use them for making a living. But theirs either say Kubota or Bobcat on the side and cost a LOT more than the $2500 these guys paid for the one they just drive around their little suburban acreage.

Yes, yes we do. I own a 24,000lbs tandem trailer that I haul large stuff heavy stuff with at times. Sometimes 300 miles one way. I have a good reason to own a pickup truck that says Hemi on the side…

Those swave and deboner urbane urbanites seldom have an actual use for a pickup truck. But there are places where the trucks wear the scratches and dents of their hard use proudly.

No man knows what she means.

Unless you are making sushi or risotto, why would anyone not cook Jasmine rice? Any other rice is less than ideal.

I don’t think those fans are bad, just noisy. And noisy fans are a thing for a lot of less expensive brands. They tend to use sleeve bearings rather than more costly ball bearings and the fan designs can be not optimized for quiet operation.

I would keep using the printer and monitor the sounds of the fans. If it gets louder or odd new noises appear then something needs to be done. I would recommend starting to look for fan mods for this printer. I’m sure there are some out there. Ender printers have a very active user base for modifications and help.

Yes they can. But, most open source projects don’t have that kind of money. Lawyers ain’t cheap. And location of the lawsuit matters too. It’s really hard to sue a Chinese company in China.

I just asked Goggle Gemini 3 “The car is 50 miles away. Should I walk or drive?”

In its breakdown comparison between walking and driving, under walking the last reason to not walk was labeled “Recovery: 3 days of ice baths and regret.”

And under reasons to walk, “You are a character in a post-apocalyptic novel.”

Me thinks I detect notes of sarcasm…

I’ve had tinnitus since I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. A high end sound system is cool to look at, but wasted on me. Those $30 computer speakers are just fine.

Oh you sweet summer child. I understand how great it looks compared to your old Ender.

Bambu, Pretty good hardware Less than good software/firmware Dubious business practices.

My recommendations are to ditch Studio and Handi app that runs on your phone. Switch to to Orca Slicer. And run all the calibrations in Orca. Run LAN mode and if your firmware is stable, don’t upgrade it unless you really need to. Don’t buy Bambu filaments. The RFID tags ain’t worth $5 to $10 more per kilo. They are made by Sunlu and eSun. Buy those direct for less money. A standalone AMS never goes on sale. And they cost nearly as much as your printer did.
