My kitted out Ender 3 with pink ABS accessories I have added over the years. I like the black/pink color combo.
Now to print Barbie!
Exactly :)
I like it. Now list ALL the mods! :)
thanks! oh boy, I don’t have the time for finding specific info and models, but
- PEI sheet
- metal BMG extruder clone from Aliexpress
- hotend cooling fan is a 4020 for lower noise
- shroud is an enlarged stock-like one to accomodate the bigger fan
- PSU fan is a large 8020 with buck converter to lower RPM, with printed case and grille
- drawer, handlebar, base fan cover, filament guide, tool holder and toolbox all from Thingiverse
- my own holder for the Xiaomi phone acting as a screen for Klipper (my first model :)
- Rpi3 with Klipper in the ugly box on the left (printed wrong orientation, it’s bottom up)
- Capricorn PTFE tube
- printed springy feet for lower vibrations
- BLTouch clone by Fysetc
- yellow springs
- Creality 4.2.7 silent board as I have somehow managed to fry the default one, plus it’s gloriously silent
What’s absolutely essential is the dual-gear extruder and the PEI bed. All the other stuff are nice-to-haves.
Wow! Have you ever thought about converting it to direct drive?
I have, but I’ve reached the point where I can just send stuff to it and it materalizes, without lots of tweaking and tuning, and I intend to keep it that way for a while :) as you probably know, upgrading these printers usually means fucking everything up and gradually rebuilding
Or a remote direct drive, like a Zesty Nimble or a Flex3Drive.
I used to have a Nimble on my old CR-10. It’s got a few quirks but the toolhead becomes very lightweight so it can move faster with less strain on the belts!
Ah, a use for all my leftover pink filament post-Barbie
I’ll probably buy more of this pink ABS, I find it very pretty
It is!
She looks cute!
She does ❤️ thanks :)
