    5:22 heat gun or one of those bunsen torches - the knife is not really required.
    Try tune your settings to eliminate. CHEP runs Enders so his profiles may help you out with stringing.
    Try stick with one brand for filament as it may help throughput if you’re not messing with strings and tuning etc. one profile for petg, one for pla, one for nylon etc…

  • @DigitalDoyle
    @DigitalDoyle ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Paused your video at the point where you're dealing with the stringing with the deburring tool and would like to suggest a much quicker way to efficiently deal with minor stringing like that. Buy a small butane torch like chefs use to finish caramelizing certain dishes and use the flame from it very carefully and in short targeted bursts to nearly instantly completely whither the strings. Takes a little while to get good at it, but it works really well and is super quick. Hope this helps add a few more useful seconds to your busy day. 😁

      @@macymakes3d also, you could try to lower the print temperature a bit, it might be best for the sunlu filament. People say stringing and mate finish comes from too high nozzle temps. Maybe a temperature tower test would help.

    • @John-gw3mj
      @John-gw3mj ปีที่แล้ว

      Small blowtorch is definitely the way to go. I find that you don't need to be too careful with it, obviously you can't be careless but it's not something where 0.1 seconds is going to ruin everything.
      If Bambu Slicer has it, you can also try using "Avoid crossing walls" to see how much difference that makes to the print time and whether that solves the stringing problem

    • @vodzurk
      @vodzurk ปีที่แล้ว

      I hit mine up with a lighter... just quick clicks. I tend to avoid white though as lighters can make very very slight discolorations. Also, yep, sunlu strings like crazy sometimes... i find lowering the nozzle temp 10c helps a bit.

    • @jameshunter4083
      @jameshunter4083 ปีที่แล้ว +1

I went and looked on amazon and eBay and they were having the same prices there. I've always liked Sunlu especially their transparent colors look really nice when printing with 1mm nozzle and they are some of the best quality printing I've found.

    Do you have your AMS set to switch to a backup spool when one runs out? It would allow you to combine those ends of rolls you have without having to manually load when the spool runs out.

    • @macymakes3d
      @macymakes3d  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Are you using desiccant beads in those dry boxes? You need to be actively removing moisture otherwise the are not actually dry inside, it is just the filament absorbing all of the moisture. Color change desiccant will indicate when it is saturated so you can bake it in the oven to get the absorbed water out. You can buy gallon jugs of desiccant beads to pour into the bottom of those boxes.

    Hiya, I’m just getting into 3d printing with the hope of monetizing it thru Etsy. Your videos are so helpful (that’s why I’m throwing you a few bucks every now and then). It seems like you found a formula and sales funnel (teachers/students) with a way to produce 3d prints that seem easier than printing a multi-dimensional 3d object - like a statue/figure - so smart. I’m wondering about your thoughts on this. I’m a visual/UX designer for a large insurance company - and I’m hoping to retire in 5-10 years with a side business. Also, have you done a video on printer maintenance? Anyway, don’t feel like you need to write a big response to this - just a big thanks to you.

    Those cardboard boxes when ground (or cut up) and mixed with water makes a great moulding compound for making one-time sprouting pods (you can design and 3D print a mould yourself). Saves a bit of funding when growing your own food. (I love to use those for plants that needs quite a bit of space like cucumbers or peppers, then I replant them into greenhouse, as climate here is kinda harsh -30C in winter and +40C in summer...).
    Also that cardboard mass mixed with sawdust creates a great fuel for starting a fire, however usage of that may depend on local regulations (I'm living in a country where using such fuel is a gray zone as long as it's dried well and does not contain plastics, gray zone because burning glue is considered harmful, but our govt does not care about that).
    Now I'm working on design of HDPE and PET recycling system as I can put my hand on nice supply of food bottles. LDPE too as I run through a lot of reasonably safe chemicals, which under heat decomposes or burns into safe products (N2, O2, CO2, H2O etc.) and those come in that UN-approved LDPE bottles. Garbage prices here are stupidly high. It's cheaper per month to get a symmetric 1Gbps fiber than to pay for a cubic meter of trash (recycling in my country exists only in theory)...

    Also, another way to do those graphics, would be to remove/extrude into the block .01”, just enough to trigger a layer change, so the graphic is a “bridge” on layer two. Trigger a filament change on layer 2, then change back on layer 4. If you’re using a textured plate, then the entire bottom will pick up that texture and make the graphic look all one layer, rather than the cartoon-y extruded text look.
