Successful repair operation to replace the extruder fan on the Prusa i3MK3 3d printer. As previously reported, I was receiving sporadic temperature failures, which eventually lead to complete failures whenever the first layer was completed. The screen indicated either a TMC overtemp error, or a Crash Detected. In reality, it was neither. Instead, it was…

Been dealing with a problem with my 3d printer, the Prusa i3MK3s that I have been running for the last couple of years. Up until recently, it has been running very well – solid prints, reliable operation, no major issues. In recent months, I did have an issue with bed adhesion to the removable build…

Updating on my 3d-printed life-size B1 Battle droid, which is slowly taking shape. I have completed the head, and most of the torso, after several days of printing. All the parts go together remarkable well, and ample use of super-glue is holding strong. I am currently working on finishing up his blaster rifle, which can…

3d Printer Troubleshooting – Bed Adhesion
A topic long ignored is my ongoing 3d printing, mainly around the filament printer. In my case, my current model is a Prusa i3MK3s, honestly a very solid work horse of a machine. It has been very reliable system, except for the occasional user errors with re-adjusting calibration and filament temperatures. However, over time, the…
