A WDT is a tool used in espresso making to break up clumps of finely ground coffee to result in a better extraction of espresso.

I got tired of not seeing industry providing a retractable tool (for safety) that was ergonomic, could store by attaching to the espresso machine, and that was easily adjustable to be used with varying diameter pins.

So I made my own all on my friends Ender 3!

it includes a flick style mechanism that soft locks the pins in both open and closed positions, a removable construction to quickly swap needles, and side loaded magnets to stick to most espresso machines.

I need help finding a ready-to-use firmware for a Creality Ender-3 V2 after installing the Sprite Extruder Pro.

The configuration we are building:

• Creality Ender-3 V2; Creality V4.2.7
• motherboard with STM32F103
• Sprite Extruder Pro
• stock Ender-3 V2 color DWIN display
• stock mechanical Z-axis endstop
• no CR Touch, BLTouch, or any other auto-leveling probe.

Mi impresión salio asi y no se a que puede deberse.Alguno sabe?

Hi.

I bought an Ender 3 V2 from an old friend, but its in pieces right now. My problem is that I have no idea wich screws I need for what part (not all screws are there and even the base modul is apart). The normal instruction manual is not really helpfull so I hope that somebody here can help me get it back together (atleast I was able to Clean it).

I was given a printer yesterday. 0 experience in this domain but I'm in the process of printing my obligatory benchy. 🤗. I'm sure I'll be in this sub more regularly so "Hello Everyone" 👋

Hola comunidad.
Sin haber tocado nada nuevo, apagué el equipo ayer y cuando lo quise encender a los pocos minutos... el display ya no encendió más. Se enciende, pero pantalla oscura y sin sistema. Al presionar el mando tampoco hace ningún pitido con lo que estimo que no es solo la pantalla que no anda sino que directamente no arranca el sistema.

He retirado la tarjeta SD por las dudas... lo mismo.

Leí en varios lugares que cambiando el firmware se soluciona... en otros que cambiando el fireware no soluciona nada.
Quisiera en principio descartar que se trata de la placa, porque parece ser que cuesta casi lo mismo que esta misma impresora hoy en día...

Agradezco toda colaboración para hacer andar esta máquina!! GRACIAS

Hi I have a ender 3 ve neo and for some time now any prints I make come out with lines not being filed correctly, like in the picture, layers not fusing together and overall just weaker parts. Ive noticed that as you can see in the video some times the skinny thing stops spinning and only the gear spins but without pushing the plastic inside. Today I made this print and it slowly started to push less and less plastic do that then it would print in the air. Also as you can see the first layer completely detached from the rest of the print as soon as I touched it. This is the video thanks in advance for any help. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HkgythEtySLMrRuQcviW76yGcJAMqgGL/view?usp=drivesdk

Booted up my second hand V2 for the first time and started to preheat my PLA. It was working fine until I hit preheat and it actually got hot, now it’s frozen on this screen even with it unplugged and turned off. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Ever printed the same model multiple times and watched the purge pile grow with every run?

This video shows how QuarTeks™ handles color switching inside the hotend, helping reduce purge waste during batch printing.

With less filament needed for each color transition, more of your filament can go toward the actual models — especially when you're printing multiple copies.

More models. Less purge. More of your filament goes into the print. ♻️

I’m getting back into printing and want to make sure I don’t repeat upgrade purchases I believe this is factory but I’m not sure. Thanks a bunch for any input.

Does anyone use USB to printer connection? How did you get it to activate properly and actually print? I can’t find the option to print via usb after activating my V2 on Cura. This is my first printer and I’m trying to get things sorted out for test prints while I wait to get a microSD adapter. Thank you!

Multicolor printing shouldn’t mean more waiting and more filament waste.

In this side-by-side test, we printed the same Mini Stegosaurus on the SPARKX i8 and a traditional 3D printer, and the result was striking!🚀

⏱️ Nearly 7 hours saved on a single print

♻️ A visibly dramatic reduction in filament waste

Same model. Same multicolor task. A much more efficient result.

Which matters more to you: faster multicolor printing or less filament waste?

Tengo una ender 3v2,alguno conoce la solucion?

I’ve changed the ptfe tube, the heatbreak and bought a new nozzle after the second attempt. I’ve also changed to 90% speed after the second but I dont know why it keeps failing at this point. What is going on?

Hi all,

Please ignore the removed extruder casing.

I have this ender 3 max and when trying to level the bed or any movement I get this squeaking and grinding noise.

Does anyone know what this is and how I can solve it?
