05/01/2023, 4:18 AMFor anyone interested, I just posted the second version of my 3D printable stacking case; it should prove especially useful if you intend to run multiple TP2 boards and want to keep everything compact and tidy.

07/05/2023, 4:39 AMdid you print this with PLA? I tried and it broke when I tried to snap it together 😦

CFSworks
07/05/2023, 5:39 AMYeah, PLA with 30% infill. Haven't had problems with the tabs breaking though, that's a surprise to me... I used the same snapping tabs/slots as lightofhonor's design.

07/05/2023, 5:39 AMhmm weird
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:39 AMwell whatever, I can always glue it
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:39 AMI was considering printing it in PETG to get better flexibility
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:44 AMcould be poor layer adhesion but I haven't had any other problems

07/05/2023, 5:50 AMWhen I very first got my printer, the (hastily translated to English) instructions said "make sure the nozzle is 1mm off the bed" and I shrugged it off like "...that's weird but OK"

07/05/2023, 5:50 AMPrints sorta worked but the adhesion was obviously really bad

07/05/2023, 5:52 AMnah my plate adhesion is fine
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:52 AMI mean between layers
c
CFSworks
07/05/2023, 5:52 AMThe between-layer adhesion was bad too

ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:52 AMmight have just been brittle cause it was cold in the room too
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:52 AMmy prints in general have no problems

CFSworks
07/05/2023, 5:53 AMDrafts/chills do tend to suck for prints
s
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:53 AMmmhmm
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:54 AMalso yeah, I'm surprised prints worked at all 1 mm off the bed 😄

07/05/2023, 5:55 AMThey came out really lumpy, but they had the correct general shape
CFSworks
07/05/2023, 5:56 AMI was an absolute beginner, so I had no idea it was supposed to be more like the thickness of a piece of paper. I was frustrated trying to figure out how to level to precisely 1mm 😂

ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:56 AMI sure have no regrets adding a bl.touch
ssgelm
07/05/2023, 5:56 AMmanual leveling is a pain

07/05/2023, 11:43 AMI have some filaments with bad layer adhesion, and I have a few like that. What sometimes helps is to raise the temperature significantly. Another thing to try is to lower cooler speed. Both things will mean more glossy print and possibly worse visual uality, though.

07/05/2023, 11:44 AMWhen I caused magic smoke on one of my BLTouch probes (stupid mistake with wiring) I have one printer that I level by hand. And it's not this bad 😄
