3DPrinting

In the order of acquisition:

• Ender 3 (Converted to an Ender Extender 400xl). Dragon hotend and EZR struder.
• Ender 3 Pro with dragon hotend, EZR struder (currently being fitted with a Sherpa Mini DD). Running Klipper.
• Ender 5 with Biqu H2 v2s Revo (recently got all the parts to convert this one to a Zero G Mercury one.1).
• Sovol sv04 (With Copperhead heatbteaks).
• Ender 2 Pro with E3D Revo Hotend and MicroSwiss Bowden extruder. Running Klipper.
• Voron V2.4r2 350mm.

Currently all are operational except the Ender 3 pro, due to the Biqu H2 v1 blowing up on me last weekend and forcing an upfra to the dragon+Sherpa_mini+HeroMe toolhead.

All my printing is done at my local makerspace. We have:

3 x Ultimaker 2

3 x Ultimaker 2 extended

Formlabs Form 3b

Markforged mkII

Most of my printing is in the Ultimakers but I use the form 3b for anything small or that needs that extra find detail. I havent found a good reason to use the Markforged yet (the consumables are quite expensive) but should be fun when the need arises :)

Ender 5 with the following upgrades:

• BigTreeTech skr mini v2
• MicroSwiss hot end
• Orbiter extruder
• BLTouch
• OctoPrint

I'm quite happy with it, print quality is mostly decent although it requires a lot of tweaking to get to good quality.

Ender 3 with BL-TOUCH, that BTT drop in replacement board with silent steppers (the first model), geared extruder, Micro Swiss nozzle, Creality glass bed, unholy loud Sunon fan on the block and a few printed extras.

Then a Monoprice Mini Select v2 with an aluminum extruder. Both have their Raspberry with camera and Octoprint.

Also a super dusty Elegoo Mars 2.

MK3s with an MK4 ordered. My wife also recently got an Anycubic Photon D2

AnkerMake M5

Ender3 v2 running Klipper with a BLTouch and a Micro Swiss NG extruder.

Prusa Mini here! I only swapped the nozzle for a larger one to print “faster”. All stock stuff so I can spend more time learning and printing stuff I design myself with CAD!

Makerbot replicator 2. Old as hell but still gets the job done for my limited purposes.

Bought Ultimaker 2+ long time ago. Its amazing and it is a reason why my older prusa like printer is collecting dust. I wouldnt buy it again tho, because there are much cheaper printers available

I have a couple of prusa mk3s one of which I'm upgrading to the 4

Started with an Ender 3 V2, which I tried modding with BLtouch because I hated the lack of auto bed leveling. Eventually I just got so frustrated that I got a Prusa i3 MK3S+ and I love it to death. It was just a quantum leap over the Ender and well worth the price bump. I’ve lately been selling prints for profit and have been eyeing the Bambulab X1 Carbon for its speed and the AMS.

I have an Ender 3 V2 that I barely ever print on any more because I have a RatRig V-Minion now. I love this little monster, it's so fast.

My first printer was a Artillery Sidewinder X2, but I've pretty much completely switched to a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon now. I never really had too many issues with the SWX2, but the allure of multi-material and faster prints was too much.

A BambuLabs X1 Carbon (a nice printer that would be great if they didn't close source it)
A modded Voxelab Aquila (Ender3v2 clone used to learn, break, and train my patience)
I'm thinking Voron next, but I'll see what's out there when it's time to expand.

I'm running a Prusa Mini at home, and a Markforged Mark Two and Ultimaker S5 at the office. I've been considering a MK4 for home, but I don't really use my Mini enough to justify it.

Prusa Mini+

Creality CR10 - Almost every aspect of it was upgraded.

• Control box delete, relocated electronics/psu under the frame.
• Dual z leadscrews with anti-backlash nuts and oldham couplers
• Linear rails for XY Axis
• Bigger XY stepper motors
• HeroMe Gen 7: Dual 5015 cooling fans
• Nocuta 40mm hotend fan
• Noctua 40mm electronics fan
• BLTouch
• Orbiter v2.0
• Spider 3.0 hotend w/ MicroSwiss .4/.6 Nozzle
• SKR E3 Mini V3
• Raspberry Pi (OctoPrint)
• Removable PEI Sheet -Solid Bed mount

I can print just under 190mm/s at volumetric flow rates of 20-25mm3/s. Also gonna try out those CHT nozzles and see if they can help with flow rates too.

I am planning on getting a lighter y carriage and lighter alu bed and see if i can go faster

Also upgrading to an AC powered bed. Probably going to leave it with the 12v PSU, once i get the AC powered bed.

Hotend doesn't take long to heat up unlike the bed almost 16-18 mins to 90c.

I will probably be getting a prusa mk4 or BambuLabs x1c as my next printer then a Voron. Once I get one of these my Prusa Mini will be converted to coreXY.

Ender 3 Pro with Klipper, SKR, dual Z, solid mounts, slice engineering bimetal heatbrake, 84mm Noctua for power supply and 4010 for mobo, PEI sheet, Noctua 4020 fan and dual 5015 satsana duct on Speeddrive with a BMG clone

Ender 5 Pro with Klipper, same direct drive setup as the 3 but stock cooling fans and housing, microswiss all metal hotend.

The 3 sits by me in the office and is completely silent idling and barely noticeable when running. Mostly use it for prototyping with PETG, running 100mm/s at 3.2k accel

The 5 is in the garage and prints CF Nylon, Nylon, ABS and glow in the darks and sometimes TPU.

Ender 3 pro. Never had any issues with it really. I replaced the motherboard with a skr mini pretty early on, and changed it to direct drive. Running klipper on a pi 3. Sure it's not the fastest, but it works very well for me.

Flashforge Creator Pro (Modded to single E3d V6 Hotend), Voxelab Aries, Voxelab Aquila, SUNLUT3, Ender 5 S1, Ender 2 Pro, Kingroon KP3S Pro S1 (I currently have a love hate with this one).

Have another Ender 2 Pro sitting waiting for mods, and a Monoprice Ultimate 2 waiting for a custom flash.

I think the next one will be a custom from the groud up build. I want something large.

Started with Ender 3 but got annoyed with it not being very reliable for me (probably due to my own modifications). Now using the Sovol SV06 and very happy with it so far after a couple months.
