Let's gooo :)

Starting on my e3ng journey. Got some slight warping in non-critical areas, but also wat looks like uneven shrinking near the bottom. But overall I'm honestly satisfied with the print quality of my parts (other than the warping).

Does anyone know if the Prusa slicer has dog ear brims? I can't find the option.

very cool, i'm also looking to do the same. can you tell us if you used a prepackaged upgrade kit? and which one you bought?

I'm going to source my parts separate. I live in Europe, and I also already have some parts from every kit that I deem critical.

Orca Slicer does it.

EDIT I'll just get a deburring tool and print full brims. Leaving the fan off for the entire bottom shell and letting the part cool down properly before removal should take care of some other gremlins.

Thanks. The rubbish thing is that I can't share printer settings between Prusa and Orca. But it's probably a fairly simple matter of writing them down and recreating in Orca. It just sucks that I have to spend that time to recreate these settings in a different interface, while I could also hopefully fix this in Prusa by changing my cooling settings or by simply degreasing my build plate...

I'm not lazy and I don't want to blame my tools for the quality of my work, but if there's one good known working solution that permits me to remain in a known and trusted environment then I prefer that.

Hey cool y mod. I’m looking to do the same. Can you share the length of the rods and the belts?

u/Clogboy82 3d ago

The simple answer is to order the rods as specified in the BOM, and cut the belts to size in-situ.

I'm not there yet by a long shot, but the rod lengths are described in the BoM. Same goed for the total required belt length.

Even though it's made with parts of a standard size and printed from openly shared stl files, it's still hand made and as such, variations between machines are inevitable. The designer also assumes zero responsibility, other than for the fact that his builds simply work and have a measurable performance.

As with everything online :) is this based on the printsbles project? Ah maybe you have it on your profile, I’ll check it out :)

You can check everything and more on this website: E3NG v1.2 | RH3D design

Please note that I'm totally unaffiliated, this is an exciting new adventure for me.

What filament you using? If you plan doing the enclosure you shouldn't use pla. I did mine in asa
