i am not even new to 3d print and i watched this just because of how good your content is it is very enjoyable to watch
Thank you!!!
I’m going to get into 3D printing in the coming weeks, and I’m grateful there’s CZcamsrs like yourself guiding us noobs into the hobby.
I got into 3d printing and still have not figured out why my prints never stick at all. Ender 3 v2 neo
@@lyndysfschannel3452 i have the same printer, but my prints alway stick to the bed. Have you: leveled your bed correctly? set the right z-offset distance? If that doesn't help you could try washing the build plate
Oh yeah he has done a great job. I have spent thousands on these machines and do not feel complete without printing. My partner feels as if I am addicted. I stare at all the statues and cosplay in awe... while she says I barely look at her anymore. Idk... Idk. It isn't harmful like drugs. LMAO!
I’m not sure but I think he likes marvel…
XD
I watch the world collapsing into madness on a daily basis, but I can always rely on you Frank. I can watch you and decompress, while learning something new that I hadn't thought of, even on a basic level like this.
Legitimately one of the best video intros I’ve seen in a long time. Love your work, you’ve helped me build my first iron man helmets and will hopefully help me with the suit I’m making with your videos. Thanks for the inspiration!
You were a huge help to me. Found a worn extruder gear, something I hadn't even considered. Slapped on a new dual gear extruder I had sitting around and I'm back in business, thank you!
Hey Frank, just wanted to say thanks for this video. It's nice to have a summarized resource from a trusted and practical source
I got into 3D printing because of watching you. I’m still super new to it but I’m loving it.
Thank you for this video and the time you have put into it. I have been having some issues with y axis skipping and never thought to check the belt tension. I am going to give that a go and cant wait for the results. Thank you!!!
Your videos are always so informative and honest. Your the reason I finally decided to get into 3d printing, will finally start the new year into the hobby thanks to the sv01 pro video review. Now I'm always looking forward to your content. Any advice on things one should do to upgrade/updates to do on the printers unless you have a video on it that I probably missed on it.
Hey Frank I don’t know If you will see this but you have inspired me to pick up my old Ender 3 pro and Gotten me to start printings Again. Right now I am printing a mk42 suit I’m nearly halfway done now and I want to thank you for inspiring people to do cool things like this keep doing what you are doing Frank your amazing.
i been watching frank for 3 years since i got my first printer. and i love the part where he said your gonna make mistakes. i love that because its from those mistakes that allowed me learn to why and how to fix it. love this guy.
Thank you for this video. I have learned a lot from your content and has helped my 3d printing so much. Please keep up the great content!!!
i searched for more than 3 months and finally found someone that fixed my problems thank you
Because of your videos i got into 3d printing, just started my iron man suit...helmet is almost done. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much i had the wires switched took forever to figure out till I found this video
This is perfect. I just got my first 3d printer a few days ago and it's already been a hell of a rollercoaster. First layer adhesion has been murderous.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME SI MUCH I CAN FINALY USE IT
This vid came in clutch cuz I just got a sovol sv01 pro. I really love your vids and I am so happy to finally get a 3d printer.
Thank you for making these videos,I'm a fairly new to the hobby and I've learned a lot,I'm getting my ENDER MAX NEO tomorrow. Cheers 🍻 from Arizona🌞🌵🦂
Happy New Year Frank and Maya! Great video.
Love your work been going 10 months now printing your videos have helped me many times 👍🇦🇺
Thank you so much! Love the videos
I really appreciate your video! You taught me a lot, Thank you!
FINALLY A person who can help me with my 3d printer
You are the best youtuber ever
Great video. Thanks
Nice video, thanks!
Very nice video! Also, another cause for the SD Card problem is an error on the 3D printer side, which can easily be fixed by just reinserting the sd card. Otherwise, great video!
Frank, thank you so much for all your advise.
Im about to undertake my 1st 3d armour (captain rex) from star wars. I'll be doing my 1st youtube DIY (destroy it yourself) guide for the novice. And yeap you'll be linked.
Hey Frank, loved the video. I was wondering if you could go over E-step calibration as this was an issue I had with my printer and just recently got sorted, I think it would be great for anyone else fighting through it.
I've been watching since Backyard Ninjas, you the man Frank.
Thank you bud!!
your videos are the best Frank
wow bro, great information
PSA: Australia is 240 V. Great video btw, thanks for making helpful content
Aaahhh the little words in the back 😂 great video, and love the subtle humor!
Finally someone saw them lol
@@FranklyBuilt I had to rewind it the first time because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me 😂 but I saw that you’d had writing in the background before. Though never quite this small 🤏🏼
thanks a lot for this video. On week 2 of 3D printing and no one ever points out things like check all the assembly screws, because they can loosen with prints. spent 2 days trying to figure out how it went printing perfectly to crap! lol newbie fails lol
I’m new to the hobby, my 3D printers on my table right now😊
Hello hello i appreciate u keep up the great work..i have a voxlab c2 and the temperature keeps rizing when i turn it on untill the runout gies off..and tips n tricks
Love your dog it’s so cute
In situation of Buying 3D printer from someone for the first time ,
What should i have to check first to confirm that it's Not faulty ? Can you suggest what should be the test print to Check it's Performence and Quality ? Like Hello world for the 3D Printing ?
Thanks Frank. I finally finally bought my first 3d printer. Bamboo labs p1p. I've rushed into it and failed alot of prints I downloaded. I'll adjssome settyou recommend.
Been printing for 2-3 days now. I haven’t had any major printing problems. Had one piece I snapped in half but it was a long thin piece @5% infill 🤷🏾♂️ everything just takes so long to print. Plus my printer prints at like 75% the speed cure gives me. Think that’s common though.
I dropped my supports to 2-3 percent and it's plenty. Makes it way easier to remove them at the end. same with the overhang angle - push the limit.
im not sure if you discussed this yet, but what do you do when youre going to run out of filament mid print? also are you able to recycle the excess filament from the supports?
I must admit - I laughed when I saw the words "I hate u" appear over your right shoulder near the Ironman. :D
You’re the first one to comment on the argument that happened behind me lol
Hey Frank, can’t wait for the mk 39 helmet video by walsh3d. just finished printing all the parts on my cr-10s pro v2!
Hey, I have a few problems with my 3d printer i got for the holidays.. the printer i have is the creality 6 SE and when is printing, the filament doesnt actually go ON the bed. It curls up and stays next to the nozzle. Another question is before the printer starts printing, there is some excess filament coming out. should i remove the excess filament before it starts printing? should i heat up the nozzle, tighten the belts, or do something else? Nice Video, and I hope i can have some answers. Thanks!!
Awesome video! Just wanted to say Howdy to the lil guy in the back 😇🤣
Hello frank i just got an ender3 pro and I have a problem even after trying many different things filement is still not coming out almost as if it was jammed even when doing it manually non comes out if you think you could help me please let me know
Hopefully you can help me, I’m going to watch the whole thing lol Neptune 3 kicking me in the teeth
(Editors) going back and forth is comical lol
One thing I’d like to add to layer shifting issue’s is that it could be a situation where your nozzle snags on the print itself and gets hug up enough that it pulls the whole bed a little because those clips aren’t all that strong holding the bed in place. I find that I either needed to slow down my print a little to avoid jerking, nozzle issues with over extruding due to a worn nozzle and of course z hop to compensate. So when before I start my prints now I make sure to check that the bed is squared up. That way if i see layer shift I can first check that the bed didn’t shift on me.
I had a layer shift in one of my recent prints and while I didn’t witness it happen unfortunately I’m pretty sure this was the cause. It was a statue with long hair and I didn’t support the bottom of it very well.
The bottom of the hair snapped off it’s stand in the same layer the layer shift occurred. Somehow miraculously the rest of the print continued without issue and I was able to break the parts at the layer shift and glue the whole thing together.
@@jonathonantonio1973 saved the print. Nice! Way to see it through. I usually stop my prints as soon as I see a failure. It can be difficult to fix a print sometimes depending on what it is.
@@ChrisJohnson-tn1mo thanks man, I was so tempted to re slice but it had already gone past the layer shift by the time I saw it so I thought fuck it lol
Had this happen with my very first print on my ender 3 pro omg the cat got hit by the nozzle and it tilted the entire print on its side
@@tylerkister4628 lmaoo that sucks, thankfully my cat has avoided the printer thus far. I think it’s too noisy for her lol
Another helpful vid! Thanks for that! Also kinda curious if anyone has ever tried to print with weed whip cord before?!!?!? lol try it??????
Hey man I'm looking to get into FDM for cosplay and DND terrain. My resin printer was a gateway drug. What do you recommend for something like that? Looked at Neptune 3 plus, but its out of stock. Should I be patient or is there another model you recommend?
Thanks for the content, subbed.
I'm finding that my pc4-m10 screws that hold the capricorn bowden tube in place for my cr10s v2 keep moving back and forth? Basically, the teeth inside the screws aren't clamping onto the tube? I've had to change them. Basically, every print. Any ideas?
The "You're going to F up ALOT" should have been point #1 😉
You should do a video on thermal runaway and how to fix it
Happy new year, was wondering if you could help me. I’ve been using the Flsun super racer for a few weeks now and wanted to change to nozzle. I was wondering if you know how to or have tips/tricks to changing the nozzle.
Please do a sovol sv01 pro beginners setup
hopefully you can help.
I have a 3D printer that when I try and heat the hot bed the printer shuts down and restarts.
It is an IDEX printer, when I heat the nozzles, they heat up fine, when I move the X-axis it moves fine. Z is fine and Y is fine as well, so I eliminated the steppers having a short or nozzles. The company sent me a new hot bed, I plugged it in and it did the same same exact thing. No viable burn marks on any component on the controller board that I can see. Any ideas where to go from here? I want to say it is the power supply but I do not know how to check this. I have some basic electrical knowledge but have now gotten in deeper then my knowledge. The wires have all been checked for resistance and show good results. i measured voltage in and out today at the cpu said voltage in was 121 v voltage out was 52v that seems hi to me as the cpu tag says 500 w and 24 v and 21 amp what do you think i should try now ?
Good video
I'm currently really struggling since I've just got my first 3d printer for Christmas and have been trying to figure it out for days everything works perfectly but I tried using the premade prints to test if it works and for some reason it just won't I have leveled the bed properly I have inserted the fillerment properly but I have no idea why it won't print I don't get any errors i just click the object I want to print and the folder that holds them closes and nothing happens I'm really confused, can anyone help?
Hello Frank. A problem that I’ve had for a while now is Z-banding. I’ve done a lot of things that have been recommended to me except replacing the z-axis lead screws (the screws look straight and roll smooth). Any tips/recs that you could give/put in a video? Thanks!
2:42 hatts the best Power supply on that problem
i have that problem and i dont know what to do some many Power supply so whats the best
Did you know, that the the color of red used in the Ironman suits is hot rod red? Well at least in the first movie.
Gotta question, if you have a 3d printer that you just purchased, and I know you mentioned the belts being already tightened up enough. How would you know for a fact that the g-code file is bad? Is there a way to physically look into the code line by line if needed and make the correction? Or is it just a matter of dragging and dropping if you have like printers and same flavor firmware to do it that way?
Taking a break and walking away is a big key I’ve come very close to throwing my printer out the window you just got to walk away sometimes😂
First & foremost thanks for the videos! I started following a month back & now I just unboxed my own Neptune 3 Pro. I do have a question - any recommendations on where to buy spare parts? I can’t seem to find much on Elegoos site… things like filament detectors, etc. thanks again!
Honestly I’m not too sure yet! Thank you though so much for that comment
Hey Frank! Great video. What pc/laptop do you use?. My laptop takes for ever to slice a print and in preview mode the rendering is so slow when using the slide bar to see the layers. Regards.
I have a very strong gaming PC so it helps a lot.
@@FranklyBuilt yeah I figured it must have a high performing graphics card!. Thanks for the info and keep up the great content!
I have a elegoo 4 pro in the middle of a print it keeps wandering from the print to nothing and spitting out filament. Wonder if you could help. Thanks
Thanks a ton! I had the power issue thankfully i live in America so my printer didnt get fried
I keep overhang angle at 70 degrees. Support density at 9-15% tops. Then I add support where it may be needed.
My printer bed is level and I’ve been trying to to figure this one but the printer bed feels like I’m going over a speed bump when it’s running back and forth. Should I take the bed off and see if there’s anything stuck in the track?
I wish I could just send my printer (creality s1 plus) to you and see if you could figure it out. Crazy layer shifting and I have done everything you suggested. Creality themselves looked at it and couldn't fix it and refused to replace it.
Hello bro, I got a mismatched 3d print issue.
e.g, If I print a 10X10 square, it will come out as 13X13.
Tried many slicer but same results.
I'm using a generic MKS Tinybee based with Marlin 2.X.X firmware.
Any advise?
Thanks.
I have the super racer for two months now.... I have only manage to print 2 models in good shape.... all the rest that of kilos fo filament have gone down the trash can....
how can I now that the timing belts are tight enough or not?
I'm actually struggling with a weird problem. I have an ender 3 v2 and for the past 3 or so months my prints started having these weird stringy blobs everywhere. I'm thinking it could be a retraction problem cause it mostly happens when my printer head stops printing to go to another part of the model. And the top layer sometimes has blobs on top which kinda hook the nozzle and cause the prints to break from the supports or even fall over entirely. I used to have faith in my printer and go to school or whatever while it's working on a 20+ hour print but now I'm scared to even sleep while it's printing.
I have had my ended 3 s1 for about 3 months and for some reason I think the 2 axis is falling causing the nozzle to hit my prints and eventually rip it off the build plate, do you have any ideas on how to fix this.
This intro is basically what happened to me with my first printer 😭
I purchased a two tone pla from amazon and the extruder keeps skipping. It only does this for that particular pla brand. I raised the temp up to 230 on the extuder, put the bed at 60 degrees and it still caused the clicking sound. Is there supposed to be higher temperatures for those materials? I am at a loss! I've kept leveling the bed and all other PLAs work. I just removed the two tone and put a single color PLA and it worked just fine.
im prety sure my 3d printer is working now because of this video
I need help with a silly problem , I'm building my 2nd Mando helmet, printing my 8th and final piece and the print is the easiest print (back-left-bottom) and it keeps failing in the last 10 minutes not "closing" the top off? I have leveled the bed 3 times, settings seem ok, spool not tight, do you have any suggestions? It's failed to print 4 times now the same part
Thanks my friend
Can you do one on why you prints are coming off the bed?
Hey Frank, I have an Anycubic Kobra Max with an auto leveling system and a glass bed. I’m trying to print out a daredevil helmet with a raft. The raft keeps printing perfectly, but starts to bend up off the bed once it is finished, causing the whole print to fail. I went and watched your perfect first layer video and still cannot figure it out. Any tips?
You could use hairspray or bed glue
I use layerneer bed weld glue and haven’t had issues since I got it
@@yololyfe1759 I ended up using a gluestick and it worked
Sir, I have an ender 3 v3 se and it prints good however some times the X axis will stop moving. Y and Z axis still move. what might be the issue I'm at a loss have checked all the belts and bearings to no success. Please help if you can
Which printer is your favourite and strongest recommendation? Also just watching your video , a lot of systems still use the FAT file system which is limited to 8.3 file names.
I don’t have a particular favorite right now. I just recently did a video comparing a bunch tho
I remember the days when you started this channel and you say you have to figure certain things out yourself 😉... Congrats on 717 G follows Frank!
I’m having issues with my prints coming out very brittle … is there a setting I need to adjust to fix this issue? My printer is leveled and prints my boat ,vase,fan with no issues so that tells me there’s a setting that I need to adjust .. TIA. Thank you for the video
I struggled with printing for three weeks until I figured out it was a nozzle clog 😂
after i printing my first print it work however afte words when tried to use one from thinievers it would not stick like the model it came with
Ok I need some assistance. I've been printing for 5 months now. I've made some great stuff (thank you Frank) the current problems I am having are, Nozzle build up and won't stick to the glass bed unless I use glue sticks. I need some help sir. I haven't found anything outside of leveling the bed( I've leveled the bed 8,000 times it's as level as it will ever get. so I need some help please.
so im new at this 3d printing thing and i just started mine today, i was wondering, if im not using my printer, do i turn it off overnight then turn it on when i use it again? or do i leave it on and take the filament out? ive been looking it up and i cant really find an answer cause its just telling me if i should leave it on while printing. what should i do?
Can you make a video of you making the black nova helmet
Question: My 3d printer just won’t print. It will meet all the temperature requirements to print a file but after that it just won’t move or do anything at all and I tried pressing the Pause and Stop option to cancel the print but both are unresponsive, no matter how many times I press them they just don’t do anything.
How do I fix it?
(I have an Elegoo Neptune 2)
Frank, what did you name the hat on MK85? It's drawing focus from you, give it some attention.
Hey Frank have you ever run into filament that just simply will not run on a printer? My bed is leveled and fully adhesivededed(glued surface). My other rolls print but i cant get this one type to print its Geetech Matte black, any advice?
I need help on my printer it’s a voxelabe one of those cheap ones
when e select a model it heats up and it freezes and makes a knocking sound and it restarts is their a way to fix it
Literally overnighted a reality three under Anne bought a wax resin. Printer and overnight shipped them. Just built them already on my first print. No absolutely nothing I’m good at this. Think I found my calling. 😊
What if my circuits are fried? Can I replace them or do I have to send it back for repairs? Btw I am using an enter 3 pro
One issue I've had is my fan speed cranks up to 225 speed and temps out the nozzle, I've adjusted the settings on the printer and in Cura but still does it, what is going on?
