Streaming Active Print! come hang out and chat!

Hey guys, Tech Nervous here. We are just getting ready to set up a print on my ET4, so let's jump right over there I'm gonna hit the print button Now I will tell you I do have a little bit of trouble with this eccentric nut right here So I can't get it just right as far as tightening it so when it comes down to the bed I'm gonna have to make a little adjustment by hand to make sure that the layer is coming out smoothly after that it runs perfectly But it just seems to be a little bit too loose And I can't quite get it snug no matter which way I turn it but other than that I haven't really had any problems with the ET4. I'm really enjoying playing around with it, and I'm gonna get another print off it right now. Basically what we're gonna print is another one of these guys Actually, I have one more right here It won't fit on the ender because of the type or excuse me the tarantula pro because the type of extruder that's on there But this one is gonna go on the ender 3, and then I had a little bit of breakage on That one there, so I wanted to replace it. I got a little rough with it trying to pry it on there, so It's functional it works. It's sitting there and It looks cool, but I'd like to be a little bit more secure so This is something you'll see in a video. I'm putting up I believe tomorrow and I'll give you the thing to download it on thingiverse, then I don't quite have it ready just yet I do need to remove All of this support here, but let's jump over to the printer and take a look at it as it's preheating so For here, and we can actually go ahead and take a look. Let me see here. Give me one second Go ahead I Ever making you dizzy guys Although I do want to get a little bit closer hang on one second. I don't want to make you guys nauseous So let's go back to the other camera Pretty well focused And you can see it's starting to go to work Little string he's hanging out down there Yeah, as you may have noticed my internet connection got a little bit of an upgrade So we should be streaming pretty well here. Let's get that shot of the screen You can see the temperature is all the way up, and it does give me a percentage of time all of that Let's now that we're not moving around make a couple more adjustments to this here just because Still getting used to all of this equipment, so Going here You can do anything about that All right, well I'll play with that another time, let's get back over to My ugly mug one make another quick adjustment, and we will just check out All right Let's see how ugly this is here Get a home again What's a lovely view Hang on one second Howie. I'll show you what we're printing. I'm just trying to get my Camera back up a little bit here Okay, so you see that sword thing there, that's twisting on the extruder knob that is what we're Playing with this Normally if I get it there well this first line you see is going sideways like that So we'll let that run for a minute while I get a little bit better view We'll get this guy And this is that thermochromic filament, so it shows up white when it comes out, but it is a pink spool I want to zoom all the way out turn autofocus back on And we're just gonna leave the camera like this. I'm done messing around with it I wanted to be able to hang out and kind of chat with people Don't have long for this live stream, but I'm gonna be doing a lot more of these pretty soon So they said my internet quality just got a lot better, so I don't know why I bother typing Anyway, it was working. Okay this morning relatively well for me But I haven't tried it this afternoon yet, so Thingiverse is always jacked up. It's really no surprise I actually I've been thinking lately about I've seen a lot of people doing videos on Different options for downloading STLs, and I've been thinking about that a lot lately I haven't made one myself in quite a while probably since one of the first videos I've made but it's something I definitely need to revisit there are a lot of things I need to look into like the Prusa marketplace for STLs. I haven't looked at in over a year, so But Thingiverse is different. Yeah, they did mix some things up. I noticed that I noticed they also put a Advertisement on the main page kind of mixed it in there with the models And it straight-up says that they're trying to raise money for Thingiverse So I think that's a step in the right direction as far as I mean They they get a lot of demand and don't really have a lot of income so I mean That's not really the the larger chunk of the business model for them really you know what I'm saying It's really just a storage center. Oh You got it MJ. I saw that yeah, that's one of the things I also Were you the one asking about the ABS? For the Tevo tarantula pro because I made a video on some recommendations for that today as well although I'm not sure if it posts until tomorrow, but We're gonna be going and doing some ABS prints on the Tevo tarantula pro pretty soon and Jumping back over and revisiting that I have a little bit more work here to do With the ET for before I can finish the actual review, so I'm just kind of nailing some things down and Then we'll kind of get back to I want to do a beginner's guide for the tarantula pro and probably for the ET for Two if I can get all the little kinks worked out so I'm gonna step away for a few minutes guys But I'll be back in just a few you guys can watch the printer prints and tell them Okay, and sorry about that. I am back guys Let's see if I can zoom in on that without making it all shaky and sickening You can kind of see it in there especially on the right side tower there Yeah, that fan duct is the one that comes with it. I haven't experimented with changing it yet I didn't see one yesterday that was pretty sweet, but it goes over the front and kind of made it hard to access this Now that you can't see it here at the top here. There's a connector built-in for bed leveling sensor And I need to I'm probably gonna have to design my own fan to go around that Or in order to enable that to work as well while still getting more coverage Suck but It's blowing right where the hot end meets the nozzle, which is not ideal I would rather more at the tip of the nozzle where the plastic was getting laid down preferably at the plastic and not the nozzle itself, but Not a lot of mods out for this yet and It's interesting because this thing's like exactly like an ender 3 almost exactly It just has a couple more little bells and whistles on it. I guess you could say Sensor here There Just this little guy here Plugs in Excuse me. You gotta make sure your nozzle is pulled down and then that basically pops right over your nozzle So this has to be able to reach from there to there You know, this thing's pretty cool I Like the touchscreen, but I don't love the touchscreen I mean There's a lot of options in Marlin that you lose out on when you opt for the touchscreen unless Basically build your own from the ground up. So I haven't really had the time to dive into doing all that So I've kind of just been using the functionality that's available to me. Although I would like to get one of those dual Where it's a touchscreen and The regular LCD screen so you can use the knob as well I think that gives you the most functionality without having to fiddle with it constantly because it is nice to be able to touch it and be like, okay print this and It'll print but it it's kind of annoying not to be able to go in and adjust things like PID settings and things like that it does have a pretty nice system for homing and And it comes with a filament run-out sensor built in to which I haven't Actually ran out of filament in order to use yet So I did Set the sensor off on purpose the other day to get a shot of the screen that it shows you Just for documentation sake because I was curious. I thought that probably be Something that would be included in a thorough review so I love This thermochromic filament because if you look at it You can see this is the same That filament right there with the sword that's spinning around behind it that's the same exact thing It's printing now and it's the same filament that it's printing now so it's like It definitely messes with people when they're watching it print and they're like, hey, why is it white? That's a good question to MJ I'm always I'm always Curious to see what people are using some kind of always going back and forth. I have solid works Design spark mechanical lately. I've been using mostly fusion 360, but blenders pretty decent as well Howie the front fan there Hang on and I will zoom in on it. It's working. It's just moving really really fast One second Hold your breath guys look away Anybody get dizzy Back we go. I Don't know we could stick I haven't tried the memory yet. I need to get my hands on one I have done a couple direct drive setups. Both of them were printed mods And I can tell you at least for me the trade-off in Vibration because of the added weight on the X carriage was not really worth it on my ender 3 so I ended up going back to a bowden tube extruder, but There are a lot of people who have done it successfully on several different printers including the cr-10 and and the ender 3 in fact and Who rave about them, so I am not too familiar with any of the ones that are manufactured? but If you are gonna go that route definitely Try one of them because like I said I've tried a couple of the printed ones, and they're not horrible It worked really well for printing TPU for me, but other than that It only worked for TPU because I had to slow way down for the TPU anyway, which reduced the jerk But other than that it slows down the printing of pretty much everything else With at least with the setups that I had had so that being said like I said I do I do want to try The Hemera, and I have seen some people who can actually run amazingly fast I don't know if they have different jerk and acceleration settings set if they have to dial all that in separately as well I would assume in order to get like a perfectly tuned system, but Yeah, you're welcome. You'll see Somewhere around here. There's a video about it, and there's a link to one in there, and it it mounted really well It should go on the cr-10. It's just like Ender 3 on the carriage there but It just was not not optimal for me I'm right now. I'm cleaning up the last one of these Still needs a little bit more cleanup a little bit on the rough side, but not too bad That one's gonna go on the Ender 3 over there, I moved the knob I had on there This time I made this one I really wanted to make one that was a lot larger and that you could see visually as it was turning a Little bit more dramatic Switching back and forth there, I think it looks cool. I don't know maybe it's just me Put this here, so you kind of see the temperature change It does Change to white a lot quicker Then it turns back to its natural state unless you stick it in like ice water or something That camera is Hang on a second I get to the exact specs it is a C 920 C Logitech, so Excuse me and then I this one is a Bring it back up C 270 Definitely like the other one better. It's the one that Corey sent me and it screws right on to this Hole I have basically I have a green screen as well that I don't put up I don't really have a reason to use it on this channel, so Just kind of hangs out there, but yeah That's basically gonna be it guys. I'm gonna have to call it for this stream I got a couple of things I need to take care of I would say I'm sorry for torturing you and not showing you The finished product, but you have seen it if you want another peek here. It is I Will have this model up on thingy verse the next couple days if you guys want to check it out And I will leave this chat room open for a couple of days Or excuse me a couple of minutes so you guys can say goodbyes and everything hey Corey I was just talking about you They were asking me what camera I was using and I told them that the view they're getting right now is The one that you sent me which is definitely the best picture. I've gotten so far, and it definitely doesn't hurt that Your lights are working right now, too, so Hopefully I'll see more of this or excuse me. Hopefully you'll see more of this setup in the future, so Thanks again to Corey. Thanks all you guys for stopping by and I will be back on If not sometime today once I come up with an actual plan for a stream Tomorrow, I'm kind of just brainstorming
