Hi everyone, I was wondering what the communities stance on 3D printing is? Are you interested in it, or do you print yourself? If so what kind of printer do you use? What materials do you use? What sort of things do you like to print?

I personally print.

I use an extremely modded Ender 3 V2 that I spent a grand total of around $1400 on doing things like greatly increasing build volume to 400mm in all directions, converting to direct drive extrusion, converting to linear rails on every axis, I completely replaced the main board with an SKR E3 Turbo, added auto bed leveling with a BLTouch, replaced the original display with a touchscreen, added a raspberry pi4b for automated prints, added a camera for print monitoring and time lapse recording, replaced the bed heater with a much larger more efficient one, replaced the stock extruder with a Bondtech BMG, replaced the hot end with a E3D V6, replaced the ptfe tube with a capricorn tube, and added a smart filament sensor that detects runout, clogs, and breaks.

I print with everything from PLA, PETG, PC, ABS, and TPU.

I create a lot of my own models and print a wide variety of models, the main thing I print though is my custom made rolling trays.

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else thinks and has to say Smile
