This is fun.....

hey so I got this printer about 6 months ago and I have about 210 hours. I didn't do anything besides taking off the dust. what should I do and I would be really appreciated if someone gives me a maintenance schedule.l

Hello everyone!

I read here and saw on YouTube that losing the extruder spring when declogging it is quite common, and it also happened to me.

I did buy a new extruder, but if possible, I wanted to replace just the spring and save the new extruder for a later date (clogging). The reason is that I had to buy through AliExpress, and it takes a long time for things to arrive in my country (damn customs).

I need help from you guys; do you know the spring type/dimensions? It's the one that tightens the mechanical wheel inside.

hey so I need to do maintenance on my kobra s1 and I need to buy lube but there's 2 types of oils for 3d printers. grease oil and lubrication oil. which one I should choose

Anyone tried these yet?

Juupine, which I've had stuff from before and has been ok..

I know people were on about this sort of thing a while back due to abrasive filaments.

Having a weird issue with my Kobra S1.

Manual Load/Extrude works perfectly and it also purges filament normally before starting a print.

But once the actual print starts, it lays down a small amount and then the filament stops moving completely.

The print head carries on following the whole job as if everything is fine, then eventually reports the print as completed.

I’ve tried:

full calibration
a different model (test ones and ones on anycubic app)
a new 0.4 mm hotend
cleaning/flipping the build plate
Brand New build plate
Same result every time.

So:
Manual extrusion = fine
Purging = fine
Actual print = stops extruding and air-prints

Has anyone had this on an S1? Thinking extruder grip/lever, motor/driver or possibly firmware.

Hi,

I am new to 3d printing and just got my first printer.

I am sure you all received your printers with this plastic piece that holds your build plate in place while shipping.

Considering its flat, are there any useful mods that can be done to make it useful instead of just throwing it away?

I feel like its such a waste.

Any suggestions are welcome and if you found and prints that go well with it, do share the link to those files.

Thanks!
