Appreciate the insight! I just started printing the pieces for a tower since I’d like to start growing more vegetables and becoming more self sufficient. Any recommendations for vegetables that enjoy this hydroponic process?
Regardless how tight or looses I initially have the spring knobs, keep finding that the back left (190*190) just won't loosen enough for me to get the paper under. It moves just fine, like all the others, but for some reason I just cant get it low enough from the nozzle to get paper in. Could I set my Z-Offset from that corner and work around from there, finally ending back in the middle and adjusting Z-Offset if it's off?
That is quite common with these printers. Do you have the thick glass bed or the thin magnetic sheet? If you tighten it all the way and adjust the other 3 properly does it work ok?
@@autotech4103 Thin magnetic sheet. In all honesty, I'm somewhat confused as to what would be considered a 'starting point' for tightness. I have had the printer working fine, and yes, the back left was fully tight, but I re-levelled recently and am having all kinds of problems. I'm finding now that after stetting the z-axis to a negative in the middle of the bed, then using your instructions to level the 4 corners, when I go back to the middle I have a completely different number to that with which I started, and this is resulting in the first layer not adhering to the bed.
@@jeffthomas3707 everytime you adjust a knob, it does make a change to all of them. So adjusting them all 3 times is normal. The print head has rollers that could be loose causing a z issue as well. The rollers that travel up the z also affect z height. Check to see if those rollers are loose. If they are, there is a nut on one that adjusts to take the slack out.
@@autotech4103 Thanks for taking the time to help. He's where I'm at right now... I've followed the proceedure as: Autohome > Lower Z Axis to 0 > ran Z Offset into negatives until it grips then added a little more as you suggest > Front Left > Back Left > Back Right > Front Right > applied this rotation 4 times until all 4 corners were gripping without the need for adjustment > Autohome > Z Axis to 0 > Adjust Z Offset until it grips > Auto Bed Level. After doing this, I attempt a print. When the nozle runs up and down the left hand side of the bed it extrudes nicely but as soon as it moves to the centre to lay down the skirt, there's nothing. The filament just collects around the nozzle. I know there's no nozzle blockage so would this be a case for glue stick on the print bed or is there another reason it might do this?
@@jeffthomas3707 nozzle too close to bed?
Why did it hydro lock. I’m curious because I just bought a 1988 with a 4.3 V6, boats in great condition, ran great, good oil pressure, wasn’t over heating, but it just seized. No water in oil. I unhooked drive belts and removed starter. But engine seems seized or maybe something in stern drive is seized.
The exhaust manifolds on these motors transport exhaust and water to reenter the body of water. There are seals that can go wrong or part cracking. In my case it was a bad gasket.
You may not notice water in oil with a hydro lock. You need to take out spark plugs and then try to turn it over.
@@autotech4103 I removed plugs, all belts and starter, still seized. I’m tearing down in the next few weeks was just curious what you found because it seemed like you had the same issue.
Thank you for taking the time to put together this overview
Right on Man. Thanks!!
Did you fix this
I didn’t. Bent connecting rods and high levels of corrosion made me re-think. I bought a short block from Summit Racing.
do you know if u can shift transfer manually without motor? or does motor have to hold it in place?
If you remove the motor you could make “shift” a device to manually shift
Thank you! I was starting to thin I was going nuts! Your video was the best ive seen so far for how to do this and it corrected alot of the issues I was having.
Right on man. No need to believe all the Creality haters. These machines put in work after getting tuned.
@@autotech4103 Is there a spreadsheet somewhere of best practices? meaning if you are trying to print fine detail setting ranges should be x to y. If you are printing something large that doesnt have fine detail a to c.
@@edtoomuchfun957 layer height is the main thing you will change for detail. 0.2mm is standard height for most prints. Smaller prints that you would like less visual layer lines can be decreased as low as 0.1mm. Larger prints you want to print faster and have more strength can be increase to about 0.3mm.
Qual a configuracao? A minha nao esta colando na base, fica soltando e embola tudo.
Clean the plate with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and while printing adjust the “z offset” in the “tune menu” while it’s printing its first layer. The first layer should be lightly squished into the build plate.
I just changed the oil in my mitsubishi transfer case and found a large chunk of metal on the magnet. It doesn't appear to be a tooth (seems quite soft). Any idea what could break off inside the case? Getting ready to refurbish it regardless.
The metal on a shift fork would be a softer material, but probably not magnetic. Not sure……..
@@autotech4103 thanks for the reply.
I've failed using this printer for months. I'm trying to get it to work. I'm using your profile for PLA right now. Here's hoping it gets it close to start... Edit: This is the closest I've gotten the printer to work. It didn't fail! That is fading awesome! THANK YOU! I can fine-tune from here.
Glad you are getting it figured out.
Whats the diffrens in this prusidure with gx340?
Pretty much everything is the same. They use the same shop manual
Hey, that's the same towers I'm printing/using. I did some modifications on mine, but these beat the heck out of those $400 non-interlocking ones online! I like your light brackets too... I need those
They are a pretty sweet tower
Two great hobbies put together! Gardening and 3d printing! Very motivating! Im thinking if there is some way to get a lazy Susan on a motor and just use the sunlight from the window? I realize the pump needs to be plugged in as well. But maybe its possible to wire up one with a plug in the base of it or something? Very inspiring!
A rotating plate under the pot wouldn’t be too difficult. Possibly a battery that runs the pump and the plate. Like a Milwaukee 18volt or something
Very cool. What 3D printer did you use? Have you ever tried growing any fruiting plants, like tomatoes?
This is relatively new to me. I grew two tomato plants in this tower and they did well. I decided having different needs in plants in one tower was a mistake. So if I print more towers I will do a tomato or strawberry tower
I used an Anycubic Vyper and an Ender 3
Excellent video. i had wondered how it works.
Thank you!
I myself have a CR-X Pro which I have modded quite a bit, and I was looking into ways to attach my dial indicator and this seems to be the most easy. Do you happen to have the .STL available for download somewhere?
I don’t have it anymore unfortunately. I took a picture of the front and inserted the picture into fusion 360 and traced it. Gave it tolerance and printed it
Thank you for this video. Are there any program that could convert the other slicer formats to this Creality format ?
Not that I’m aware of.
Thanks for the help, needed something to study for my electrical 2 final today
Right on, where do you go to school?
Infinite thanks
Your very welcome
I hate my neo printer any change will be couple of hours in calibration
They are a hobby printer that takes some figuring. Hope you the best.
I have a seeping transfer case on a 4WD tacoma... Wondering if this could potentially be damaging to any components if I only stay in 2WD?
Your transfer case still needs oil. But easier on it in 2WD
just got mine and love it when i can get the files to actually work and print XD
You’ll get it all figured out. They are a good lil printer.
What a fantastic video, your explanation is very clear, have a lot of issues with the bed but will be implementing it when I get back home.
Always great to hear comments like this. Thanks for watching.
gonna get me some blue filament, yes I am!
So satisfying
👍🇨🇦
Right on
Hey friend, my Honda GX390 starts and runs good & then starts surging & dies. Plug is white. Any ideas.
Is it quitting after it gets hot? Is the engine oil high enough? It has an oil level shutoff
You glorious human! I’ve been staring at every setting in creality slicer trying to figure this out……I’ve been saving it “wrong”.
Thanks for the reply. Good to be appreciated
I did all this and I’m still having trouble with mine. I tried Cura,and Creality Slicer. It reads what came on the SD card. I had luck with one slice download. Can anyone help 🙏 😢
Be aware that Creality Print and Creality Slicer are two different programs.
Thanks for interesting video 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue with my 3D printer, the Ender 3 Creality Max Neo. The LCD screen on the printer isn't displaying anything, even though the firmware has been uploaded. Initially, the screen appeared a few times but then went blank again, and now it's completely off. Is there anyone who can provide a solution? Thank you.
Other than checking to see all your connections are good inside the printer…….sounds like a warranty claim
It comes off at the correct angle.
And some persuasion?
Amazing video thank you. I was looking into doing a 383 swap in my 1997 Jeep Wrangler and my biggest concern was keeping the 4x4 option
You might wight to swap in the powertrain from a 1/2 ton truck or something. Doubtful everything with hold up to that kind of an upgrade.
@autotech4103 yeah thats what i was thinking, its going to be a lot of retrofitting
Hello, I am working with the Honda GX390 engine. I need to determine the valve timing, how can I do this or do you have this information? This is the information I mean; 1) Intake valve opening angle:? 2) Intake valve closing angle? 3) Exhaust valve opening angle? 4) Exhaust valve closing angle?
I imagine you are using this engine for a high performance application? There are forums for "Carting" such as 4cycle.com/karting/threads/honda-gx390-stock-timing-what-are-you-getting.87635/ The information is probably not release from Honda themselves as they don't want to be messing with warranty claims and such. Hope this helps........

So how do you pull the cam out
That car would need the engine pulled out most likely. You need to pop off the intake manifold and remove all the rocker arms to get out the lifters. Then the front of the engine is disassembled to remove the timing chain. The cam is pulled out of the front of the engine.
I remember in my day of rebuilding them they had gears,then moved to a chain that was 3 inches wide, now look at those skinny chains , terrible
They were also stronger.
@@autotech4103 Cast iron cases too..Oh my God them things were so heavy...
@@bigstuff52 yup. No lifting devices at my first shop for them. Man up!!
Great explanation, my RAM 1500 except those 3 modes have also 4-Auto mode which in my conclusion operates most of the time on 2 rear wheel drive (2 High) but can enable front wheels in case of loosing grip(4 High). I drive on this mode all the time which means the chain is not moving by 99,9% of time. Does it mean it is not lubricating upper part of transfer case? Maybe I should change mode to 4 Hi or 4 Low from time to time?
No need to worry about that. There is nothing moving so no need for lube. When the Auto kicks in then it throws oil.
I am getting some kind of weird error - When I Auto home and set Z-offset manually it for first time after manual and auto leveling, it feels correct .Then I again Auto home it to check the z-offset level but this time its high up to 0.1mm to 0.2mm error of margin
Make sure the rollers on the bottom of the bed and the rollers on the extruder are adjusted to remove any side to side play. It could definitely be the cause
Omg im so glad u made this video ❤ u really helped me out !
Your very welcome! Happy printing
Great visual on transfer case Operation, any idea how the steering angle affects modern transfer cases shifting in 4 low automatically when turning. Experiencing some T case issues myself and before i pull it out i was curious on the relation between my steering column and my transfer case
Turning and shifting to 4LO is definitely a weird one. I’d imagine it being an electrical issue. Not sure how anything in the tcase could cause it. What kind of vehicle?
Gotta love lung cancer 👍
I don’t love lung cancer. Not sure how that applies.
I have the Neo v2, and after printing PETG a 240 a few times, it slightly melted the feed hose, causing the extruder to skip, because it couldnt push the filament through the melted tube. I had to get a tube that was rated for higher heat, and put a different style heat break. It fixed the extruder skipping, but now I'm dealing with other really odd issues like under extrusion, and weird leveling artifacts no matter how many times I level.
I would check the wobble in the bed. The rollers that the bed moves back and forth on have an adjustment. As far as the under extrusion problem, maybe the heat brake was plugged like mine.
Great stuff!!
Glad you enjoyed it

Satire detected.
Was it obvious😬?
@@autotech4103It was obvious to me because I did auto mechanics in high school, and grew up in a family of mechanics.
I decided to have some fun for the month of leprechauns and green! This recipe was made by splitting my sourdough bread into two batches, and adding a lot of fresh and dried dill to one of the batches. I also added about two teaspoons of dried spirulina powder for green colouring. It turned out well and will make a wonderful bread for cold ham or chicken sandwiches for lunch!
Thanks, very helpful. Got the job done ✔️
You’re very welcome.
Great stuff sir! Love seeing the inside while it worked.
