This was not the first print from the Monoprice -- about the 7th or 8th I think, and not one has failed yet! :) I've adjusted temperatures downwards (here I think I was on nozzle 205 and bed 45), in part to make it easier to remove the print from the bed without damage, which can be a big issue with the Monoprice. I'm not going to tyet again get into the benchy support debate here. The model can be printed however you like! :)

You havent talked much about 3d printing other than this particular set up. I, much like you, got into 3d printing the same way. For some reason its feel very natural going from SBC's to 3D printing. I started on the same printer you have - from there I went to a flash forge finder and now a Mignda Migician X. You should put Octopi on a standard Pi board and put that pi on the back of a display (i use sunfounder). Install OctoDash and now your Pi completely controls your printer at a touch of a button. Its very very cool.

Hello, big fan of yours, love your video. I'm no expert with my poorman Ender 3 but after some years of printing I cleared my mind a bit. The benchy seems to show that the printer may need some tuning. Extrusion in particular seems inconsistent, in some points the printer appears to be underextrding while in other spots layers are a bit rough. That overhang shouldn't need supports. You could maybe get rid of the raft to improve bottom quality increasing bed temp to 60C, I don't know your printer in details but if you have PEI or something similar like old enders for the bed you should be fine without raft or additives. Give me a shout if you need to dig deeper into the matter. Keep up your splendid work!
@ExplainingComputers

Thanks for this. Right now I'm printing with Monoprice PLA, but will try some alternatives. I'm using a raft to make it easy to remove the print from the print bed without damaging the print or the bed (a common problem for many Monoprice Select Mini owners) and have taken the bed temperature down from 60 for this reason. And so far I've not has one failed print. Ultimately the printer is doing all I want and need it to do (including being relatively small and easy to store when not in use). I'm either printing functional parts, which function fine, or objects that are going to be significantly post processed to obtain a smooth surface. So messing around to get a bit of improvement in what comes out of the printer would give me zero benefit. However well a material extrusion printer works (and I've handled output from $200K Stratasys machines) the surface quality is never a patch on a cast or injection molded part -- at least before post-processing -- and I don't expect or require it to be. So providing the printer reliably delivers structurally sound parts and good net form, I am happy! But I know others have different requirements. :)
@gianni.1407
2 жыл бұрын
I know the difference from injection molding and 3d printers, I also know the difference between a stratasys and a sub 200$ Ender3. Also, I happen to know that a sub 200$ printer should perform way better than this. If you're ok with ugly functional parts it's fine, I prefer mine parts accurate but also good looking. I don't know wich but either your PLA or your printer have some issues. Since you're putting out information on 3d printing for people new to the matter, I'd like to point out that.

When I saw the Zero 2 W first announced I bought one and am now using it to control my Ender 3 Max. I printed a box for it that sits next to the control panel, and it gets power from 24v power supply, using a Y cable and a buck converter, also mounted in the box with the Pi. I didn't have a Pi Camera, but recently added a USB OTG Hub and an old Web Cam so I can see how the print is going (the print head on the E3 Max is huge, and its hard to see how the first few layers are going!) I was told that the Zero 2 W was too slow to use a USB camera, but I have found out that this is not the case. I also find that with the thin USB cable its easier to position the camera and Pi Box where I want them without the limitation of the short, inflexible ribbon cable. Its made printing so much easier, and I don't have to worry about pulling the SD card in and out all the time and the risk of damaging or dropping it.... I'd recommend the Zero 2 W for Octoprint unless you are controlling multiple printers, in which case the extra oomph of a Pi 3 or 4 would probably be necessary.

Hi Criss! Another great video explaining basics. I looked at this Benchy, this printer can handle it without supports without any issues, both from PLA and PETG. I've checked my old prints and walls on mine looked much better. There must be something wrong with Cura profile, maybe they broke them through the years. Anyway, I got my best results on 0.175 and 0.21875. Crucial thing with this printer is to use those magic numbers as they are effect of direct steps of a motor on Z-Axis. If you round them it will not give you good results. I also found that this printer works better with PLAs that are defined by people like "having less details, more smooth surface", rather than with those producing "sharp and detailed results". With the latter you will have a lot of tiny gaps in places of retractions, layer changes, z-seam etc.

Benchy is a great old standard for dialing in your printer and slicer settings. This one looks cold and overextruded to me but it's hard to tell from the video. I don't think supports are allowed in olympic freestyle benchies either. How it fails on the overhangs is informative. But we'll let the suave presenter slide on that one since he makes nice videos and gives friendly names to sharpened tools. I'd try another about 10-15 degrees hotter and look for a setting labeled something like 'extrusion multiplier' in your slicer and set it at 90% or .9 (so it uses 10% less filament). If it looks cleaner you might check your extruder calibration. It's nice they made an upgraded pi zero that runs octoprint but they seem a little proud of pi's these days. Cheers to Chris and the channel...

Good video! I have a similar form factor printer that I picked up on the cheap from Micro Center a bunch of years back (the Powerspec/Wanhao Duplicator i3 Mini), and I ended up taking a bit of a different approach to you. Perhaps the biggest difference was that I made an arm that clipped onto the gantry of the printer itself and kinda swung out into a suitable camera position, running a Pi camera with a long ribbon cable over to a Pi mounted on the printer tower. The advantage over a tripod based solution would be that the camera would move upwards with the print itself, which solved the problem of the print going past the top of the frame for taller prints (a problem I had on my other printer). I also ended up retrofitting a small SK6812 LED light strip to the camera arm, which I could hook up to the Pi's GPIO pins to use for lighting and visual print status monitoring. As a final little thing, I connected the Pi to a normally open relay hooked up to the printer, so I could remotely power the printer on and off using an OctoPrint plugin (though this ended up breaking in a software update and I never bothered fixing it, heh). It's always fun seeing what people do with their own setups!

Keep up the great content - although it's cost me.... your video introduction into 3D printing a few weeks ago piqued my interest and I ended up investing in an Elegoo Neptune 2S! 👍

I replaced a RPi 4b+ 1gb with RPi 02w in my Octopi several weeks ago and have yet to have any issues.

I managed to score a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (maybe the last one in North America, for all I know!) and was able to get OctoPi running on it and controlling my Creality Ender 3 v2. In printing a case for the Pi Zero I was reminded of one of the most vexing things about 3D printing, which is that the filament may not come off of the spool cleanly. It will bind and may cause the print to fail. Nothing like coming in to a printer that has quite happily printed air for the last hour! I suspect that I am not alone with this. Do you know of a (hopefully) simple fix for this? By the way, as with most all of your videos, this one was well researched and well presented and much appreciated.

Thanks for this. Great to hear that you got OctoPi running on a Pi Zero. :) On filament issues, my advice would be to keep the spool wound tightly when not in use, and (if PLA) stored in an airtight bag and with some silca gel -- as moisture can damage PLA and potentially help it stick. Good luck!

Wait for a cr10s sale. It prints much cleaner. But I think I will try this. The camera alone would save me many a trip into the garage. Does it have a filament breakage alert? My cr10 has a break sensor, but it just stops the print. By the time I notice, the bed has cooled down and the part has popped off.

Hi , I watch your channel a lot ,good stuff, I have notest you 3d print looks like it is under extruding, and your layer height seems a bit large, the little gaps in your lines with weaken the strength over time. As this is for octoprint I'd reprint at a slower speed and if possible I'd calibrate your extruder.

Very nice system. I wonder if I missed it, but is there an emergency shutdown in case the print does start to go bad? Otherwise, bravo to the authors of Octoprint. Thanks for another great video Chris.

spaghetti detective can (octoprint plugin), but you need to pay for extra hrs of monitoring

Very interesting. Thank you for the (as always) excellent video. If my interest in 3D printing hadn't been piqued enough by your prior video, today's video settled things. Now to investigate a good printer to start with and then learn how to set it up with my Raspberry Pi. Thanks, Chris.
