    Creality K2 Plus I have been printing several days now with my K2Plus. Printing results have been outstanding. It’s too early to start shouting praise from the rooftops. But my first impression is very good. I do not have the Creality CFS filament swapping system. I ordered one with the printer but it wasn’t the…

    Ordered a Creality K2 Plus. Not that I really NEED a new FDM 3D printer. I own far too many right now. But there are reasons. I already own and use a Creality K1C. Little brother to the K2 Plus. I am very pleased with the K1C and the Creality product. They make good hardware.…

    Added a new printer to my collection. The Creality K1C. The “C” stands for Carbon. It’s a part of the K1 series. Here is the link to the website for the full product information. K1C Link  I don’t have a desire to repeat here what is readily available form the manufacturer. <grin> The K1C is…

    A lot of quirky events have been occurring with my 3D printing. Definitely tied to the “Quantum Effect”. My machines have been complaining about their workload as only machines know how. They start breaking down.  I wore out the bearings in the filament feed drives for the CETUS2. Probably a thousand hours on them. About…

    The resin [sic] I do this hobby is I like to design from scratch and then use 3D printing as the proof of design. I deliberately chose the word resin (line above) because that is one of the materials I use with 3D printing. I just ordered a new resin type printer. The Anycubic Photon…

    There is a side to the 3D printing “hobby” to which I have not paid much attention. It does not focus on printed item design at all. Printed product design is a totally different side of the hobby.

    Tiertime labels it just a CETUS2. It’s a two filament single nozzle FDM printer. Tiertime sent me a used prototype Cetus2 a year ago. I won it in a contest for writing a New Year’s Resolution. I also had an expectation of still receiving a first edition release version as I had invested in the…

    I installed a set of 0.60mm extruders on my Snapmaker J1s. I have probably run at least 100 prints with these nozzles.  My goal has been to design larger print projects that will take advantage of the thicker and wider layers possible with the 0.6mm nozzle size. Print times are faster. The layering visibility is…

    I really have a workhorse 3D printer in my Snapmaker J1s. It’s an independent dual extruder FDM printer with a build area of 210x324x200 mm. Extruder temp range is up to 300 C and the bed is good to 100 C. That provides the ability to print a wide range of materials. As you can…
