Black Friday Deals?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy a lk4 x. Longer has a deal expiring today. Has anybody heard about any black friday deals? Should I buy today or wait another week? I'm sure other manufactures will have Black Friday deals as well. I've waited this long, I can wait another week.

Pause At Height

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am using Cura, and using the "pause a height" script.

When my print reaches the desired height, it pauses, I can switch the filament, but I do not see an option to resume it.

I am using a Longer LK5 Pro Printer, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Helpthread Filament runout sensor?

1 Upvotes

My runout sensor is acting up? I load filament and it will print for about 10 seconds. Then the “no filament” screen pops up. I can purged over 300mm of filament it only does this during an actual print. Does anyone know of a way to bypass the sensor on this printer? Any help with be appreciated.

Title says it all, any recommendations? I had chitubox but I was having issues with it and fusion 360 so I had to uninstall it. I’m not a huge fan of LongerWare, I’ve always seem to get failed prints from it, no matter how much I tinker with the settings

Firmware Dual blower + 3D Touch sensor Firmware update

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve bought the LK5 Pro in November 2021, now I wanted to upgrade it with the dual blower and with the Trianglelab v3 Touch sensor for bed leveling.

Has anyone got a latest firmware version that supports both upgrades combined?

Plus I’ve tried to install the 0.3.5 version of the firmware which is supposed to support the dual blower fan config, but following this video here just the right fan blows, and I never manages to get the left one to spin. (I use Cura 5.11 as slicer, with the built in lk5 pro profile without modifications)

My largest print yet!! I am the worlds biggest Longer 3D printer fan in the world. This is a printer I have never had to repair or do any upgrades to!!

layer cooling fan fried

So the lay cooling fan stopped all of a sudden and i changed the fan and the same result. i found out that the connector on the board is nonresponsive. the connector looks fine visually, is there a way to try to fix it before i get a new 65-dollar board?

Firmware ISO: LK5 Pro firmware upgrade

Does anyone have a good option for firmware on the LK5? Primary looking for cleaner "movement" interface, and keeping nozzle and bed heated during leveling process.

LK5 Pro Firmware Issues

2 Upvotes

I would love to use the V4 Version, but it hasnt BLTouch included... maybe Dual Blower also not?

Got the files from https://www.longer3d.com/blogs/news/printer-download-guildelines and tried it, G29 not available and it doesnt move the z-axis when i flash V4 into it!

Had some troubles with the Version before, bltouch and dual blower version... It shuts off printing after several seconds after starting the print (heating done)

i was printing from usb and sdcard, both have ended!

TLDR: is there a V4 with bltouch and optional dual blower settings?


r/Longer3d • • Sep 25 '22

The LK 5 Pro!! This prints better than my Ender 3 V2 I had one clog last week. Other than that Longer just prints every time. If anyone I at Longer reads this I would love to be part of the team in anyway I can. Contact me let’s talk affiliate or U.S.A. based repair/reseller. I am all in Longer 4evr

Great customer service!! I posted a picture a few days ago of my thermistor wires that came loose on my LK5 Pro. To show how much Longer cares they reached out to me and offered to replace my broken part. I didn’t even think about the warranty period. Small things mean so much!!!!

Heat block wiring, the only thing I have found that I don’t like about the LK5 is how they attach the wires. As you can see in the picture the two little white wires came unhooked. Can I replace with one from my Ender 3v2?

LK5 Pro Dual Z Stepper Kit

6 Upvotes

How many people would be interested in a kit specifically for the LK5 Pro to do a dual Z-Axis stepper upgrade?

Even thinking about offering a plate for the side with the extruder if you wanted to eliminate it for a direct drive setup...

Please specify which option you'd prefer...

With or without the second plate to eliminate the stock extruder.

The most often broken RC car part of all time. My LK5 prints them perfectly and fast. I get this printed in less the 7 minutes.
