How do you import a multi-part object into PrusaSlicer without losing the position of the parts? For example, I want to print a two-material interlocking structure like this:
I've tried exporting ...

Prusa says the MK3S+ draws up to 120 W. So let's say 150 W of inrush current.
$$150 W \div 230 V ≈ 0.65 A$$
An order of magnitude less than a typical Raspberry Pi optically isolated relay shield can ...

My silicone sleeve dislodged from the heater block. Surprisingly, Prusa firmware correctly detected crash, pushed it out of the way and resumed print.
I can just print without it, but I would prefer ...

I designed a basic structure with FreeCAD. For the base, I started with a 40x40 mm square:
And I extruded it with 6.5 mm:
Then, I added a circle sketch with a radius of 19 mm:
And applied 5.5 mm ...

I've noticed before that when I use a standard USB-cable to connect my Creality Ender 3 V2 printer using its USB port to a Raspberry Pi 4 and powered off the printer, that the LCD screen of the ...

A few closely related questions about the straightness of linear rods. The 'straightness' of linear rods is vital for a 3D printer to function correctly and prevent things like Z-Banding or Z-Wobble. ...

I found this great DIY 'filament diameter sensor' or 'filament width sensor'. It is called Inline Filament Diameter Estimator Lowcost (InFiDEL), as shown below. The GitHub project states:
A cheap, ...

Greatest hits from previous weeks:

I've already asked this question somewhere else but unfortunately I had little luck.
So... my Ender 3 Pro extruder just started skipping steps, as in the gears (and the gear pinion) will rotate but ...
|
A few weeks ago I got a thermal runaway message on my modded Ender 3 during a print, and I have not been able to get it working since then! I have tried fixing and replacing everything, and I still ...
|
I made two updates to my Ender 3 Pro: Silent Mainboard and BLTouch. My printer head is way out of sync now. After I Auto Home, it moves along the X-axis to the left, hits the stop switch & moves ...
|
I bought a 32 GB SDHC (Sandisk) I'd like to use for my Monoprice 3D printer.
I have downloaded Partition Wizard and partitioned a 2GB primary partition formatted as FAT and it still does not show any ...
|
Other than unrolling it and measuring it, is there a method for telling how much filament is left on a spool, for example calculating a length bases on weight or number of turns left on the spook?
Is ...
|
I've been playing around with PETG for the first time, and everything seemingly worked right just from the start - clean prints, no stringing, no bed adhesion problems, no warping or dimensional ...
|
Let's say I'm modeling a simple box with a lid. Just as an example, we'll say the outer edge along the top of the box is 50 mm x 50 mm. With 3D modeling software, it's easy to build a lid for this box ...

Can you answer these questions?

I've been banging my head against the desk for two days so it's time to ask for help. This is the second thing I've ever tried to design in Fusion 360, so very much a newbie.
I'm trying to make some ...
|
Is it possible to read the state of a specific printer part from Marlin, such as the power (on or off) of a particular stepper motor, the brightness percentage of the LCD screen, or individual fan ...
|
I'm currently trying to print a really tall item that is somewhat width dependent (it's a dice tower, so I can't make it too small or thin or the dice won't travel through it properly) and it reaches ...
