I have a Ender 3 V3 SE and I upgraded it to the Sonic Pad. I tried Creality Print and I will never use it again. Orca Slicer is my go to now. I also want to thank you for the tip on sanding and painting 3D prints.
I’m printing an ARC Trooper helmet at the moment. I have a Voxelab Aquila C2, which is essentially an Ender 3. I’ve printed 4 helmets up to this point and my printer’s handled them pretty well.
Holy crap😂, I’m making a C-3PO head on an Ender 3 V3 lmao. Looks like we’re using the same file. I just need to finish painting. I love the printer. It prints very well in PLA/PLA+ but struggles a little with TPU (those are the only 3 filaments I’ve used so far)
Did you keep the speed settings that the profile had for the Ender 3 V3? I've been playing around with it and just for the front of the C-3PO head its over 8hours even without supports. Thanks!
@@RileyBrandt-p2f I had to cut up each half into four pieces, used whatever speed the machine was set at, supports definitely added time but are extremely extremely important
I’ve never gone back to Creality’s slicer, but I’m happy so say that there’s a dedicated profile in the latest version of Orca Slicer that’s been working fantastically for me.
When you said foot sander, I thought that was the brand name or something. It wasn't until I clicked the link that I realized that it's literally a sander for feet!
Other maker youtubers: I added lights to my project check back next week for another video M.M Prop Shop: I printed, painted, and wired a project to check out this printer.
definitely need to look into getting the sander, i take any shortcut with sanding i can get. And if you dont mind the question, where did you get the shirt? ive never seen merch with embo before.
Yes! The foot sander is easily my favourite post processing tool discovery. It’s saved me a lot of arm pain lol The shirt I actually got custom made. It’s my maker coin design that’s now become my logo/profile picture. There definitely needs to be more Embo merch! Other than my own shameless self promotion stuff I think the only other piece I have with him on it is a 501st Bounty Hunters Guild sweatshirt.
Thanks! Definitely better looking on camera than in real life. Something I didn’t get to mention in the video is that the yellow colour literally comes off all over your hands (my palms still have a slight tint to them 🤣) My stripping off of the first gold paint job really messed up the surface quality as well so bad gold on a not flawless base really doesn’t work 😅
@@MMsPropShop That sucks when a paint job goes wrong I feel your pain. I did a pulse rifle about a couple of months ago for a customer and then I painted one of the shrouds with a certain olive drab green paint from Amazon, it went on fine but after 24 hours the paint was still tacky and I had to strip it all off which was a job.
They’re these automatic wire strippers: amzn.to/3sKveT5 Fantastic if you have to do maintenance in small spaces and don’t have the space to pull traditional wire strippers.
I use cura, and I am just getting used to it's basic features. I do wish it had organic supports. They would be so much faster and use less material. I heard creality is going to release an AMS this year. I wonder how well it will work and if it will require creality slicer. I have never used an AMS, so it will be new for me.
@@MMsPropShopinteresting. I will check it out. I learn a lot from your channel. You are one of the best prop makers, finishers and teachers. Never stop being awesome.
I believe Creality fully overhauled their slicer. I haven’t had the chance to try it out yet though. As for Orca, still no V3 specific profile. The standard Ender 3 V3 KE one is still working well for the machine.
Here’s my config bundle: drive.google.com/file/d/1cOOw1Bwh9msi_Kvgl9VXeyFKbWLzUawu/view?usp=drivesdk I believe it’s basically the same as the Ender 3 V3 KE standard profile that Orca has.
@joeyjones4535 the neck piece is just sitting on a bit of a base that fits inside of the neck ring (I just resized a cylinder inside of Orca to fit). It seems like it’s not supposed to actually attach in anyway as I believe there was always a space between the two parts for movement in the costume.
@MMsPropShop I combined the neck and the collar peices to make a single print. Trying to make a solid desk peice anyway so I hope it works. I ordered your leds and also a mp3 chip to play some samples. I think I'm going to add in some broken wires and bolts to the bottom to look like it was ripped off. A switch for the eye lights and push button sound board. I think it will turn out good if I can get this neck to work.
I have seen a youtuber barbatosrex make a chrome gold by using chrome, then clear yellow and brown on top of it. All he does is paint testing and model kit tools stuff. Check him out if you want to see a bunch of cool paints for your prints.
@platypusrex2287 even though it’s technically redundant single diodes are still often referred to as ‘LED Diodes’. Just wanted people to be able to find similar lights if they were looking for them online even though I guess I could have worded it better 🤷🏻♀️
@platypusrex2287 which normally would be fine until someone goes to try to buy some single diodes and just types in LEDs on Amazon and gets every type of LED light under the sun and not at all what they’re actually looking for.
Would love to see you build a full sized C3PO. Cheers MM.🤟🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇨🇦
Still looks amazing! Paint looks good!
you should try adaptive layer height in orca slicer. you can set your smoothness. creates much more smoother curves and domes
Would be cool to see a full size C3PO that can talk. Great JOB M.M

I bought the sander based on your recommendation in another video so I'm glad you talked about it.
me too. I use it all the time
I’m printing an ARC Trooper helmet at the moment. I have a Voxelab Aquila C2, which is essentially an Ender 3. I’ve printed 4 helmets up to this point and my printer’s handled them pretty well.
Thank you for the double whammy! 2 reviews! You are the best!
You can make a 0-0-0. im so glad i found your channel. You have the same kind of oomph my older brother has with 3D printing. Great job .

That gold looks.good on camera.
This would be an awesome Home Assistant Voice Assistant piece. Threepio, Turn on the lights!
The new Creality Print Ver 5.0 is fantastic and the V3 and all the K1 series works great on it, so much better than the old versions, give it a try
Had the same issues with the chin and top of the head when i made mine with the CR10 proV2 with Cura slicer
Awesome video. good job
I use the foot sander as well 👍
Just got the ender 3 v3, hopefully the slicer gets better!
I’ve never gone back to Creality’s slicer, but I’m happy so say that there’s a dedicated profile in the latest version of Orca Slicer that’s been working fantastically for me.
@@MMsPropShop Yeah I took your reccomendation and already presliced some models I want to print. Amazon keeps delaying the order though lol.
just started printing the head on my KE.
Love this channel!
Please record gold chrome tests!
Really awesome 🤩 😊
Great job.
3P0! Yay! 👏

Hey! Ender 3 V3’s , I want to get that Spool Holder as yours! Can you help me with the File for it.
I know you're not happy with the paint job but that head looks good!

What are those wire strippers called your using? I also love my foot sander for prints. Thank you recommending it.

I believe newer versions of Cura do have an organic support option. They still might be referred to as “tree” supports in the experimental settings.
@@MMsPropShopinteresting. I will check it out. I learn a lot from your channel. You are one of the best prop makers, finishers and teachers. Never stop being awesome.
maybe a little early, but did anything change yet with the profile issue?
I believe Creality fully overhauled their slicer. I haven’t had the chance to try it out yet though. As for Orca, still no V3 specific profile. The standard Ender 3 V3 KE one is still working well for the machine.
❤
Hey … what’s your ender 3 ke slicer profile on orca looking for a slicer profile with a print this good … thanks
Here’s my config bundle: drive.google.com/file/d/1cOOw1Bwh9msi_Kvgl9VXeyFKbWLzUawu/view?usp=drivesdk
I believe it’s basically the same as the Ender 3 V3 KE standard profile that Orca has.
I did an updated version of this file that's modified for more accuracy.
I will definitely have to print your version when I inevitably remake one. Thanks for letting me know!
Where do you get the file of the spool holder?
It’s this one: www.printables.com/model/821858-ender-3-v3-side-mount-filament-spool
I want to see you print a foot and finish it with a foot sander. :)
Haha yes, droid feet are the closest that sander is getting to its intended purpose.
ive been looking everywhere for that neck piece. where did you find it? its not in the original files.
The bottom ring? It’s part of the torso set of files.
@MMsPropShop I found it but it's sized way too big. How did you connect it?
@joeyjones4535 the neck piece is just sitting on a bit of a base that fits inside of the neck ring (I just resized a cylinder inside of Orca to fit). It seems like it’s not supposed to actually attach in anyway as I believe there was always a space between the two parts for movement in the costume.
@MMsPropShop I combined the neck and the collar peices to make a single print. Trying to make a solid desk peice anyway so I hope it works.

What does LED stand for???
Light emitting diode
So LED diode is a redundancy????
@platypusrex2287 even though it’s technically redundant single diodes are still often referred to as ‘LED Diodes’. Just wanted people to be able to find similar lights if they were looking for them online even though I guess I could have worded it better 🤷🏻♀️
Just wondering. Since in the industry we just say LED or LEDs..
@platypusrex2287 which normally would be fine until someone goes to try to buy some single diodes and just types in LEDs on Amazon and gets every type of LED light under the sun and not at all what they’re actually looking for.
