Good Morning/afternoon/evening JJ, Nathan, and of course, Guy! I hope that you are all doing well and Nathan hasn’t burned down down his studio yet. Love the podcast and all the content each of you are making. The different perspectives is really interesting to see and hear from you three.
My question is pretty simple. With all the hype about CoreXY machines lately, and people wanting to print faster, why are there not more Delta Printers on the market? Nathan, you can hold your tongue and let JJ or Guy respond and then let your venom spew forth. LOL! Also, can you please explain the reason CoreXZ even exists? Thanks for all you three do and I look forward to hearing the answer on the podcast.
John D Strand, yes the guy in the jesters hat at MRRF.

I purchased a Creasee Skywalker sometime ago but have not had the opportunity to use it until now.I have read that Creasee no longer exists. Can I replace the proprietary operating system with Marlin. Can you please point me toward a resource for some assistance.Thanks so much.

Hey, guys!! Absolutely love the show and watching your channels on YouTube. My question is I have a modded Ender 3 Pro and I’ve been struggling with these vertical lines on my prints along the Y axis. I’ve come to find this is a common issue among 3d printers and its referred to as Vertical Fine Artifacts (VFA). I haven’t seen to of found any fix for this and have tried multiple things. Like belt tension, adjusting the wheels, replacing stepper motor and pulleys. I’m hoping you guys can shed some light on this and know of a possible fix. Or even maybe some tips that can reduce the appearance of them. Thanks guys!

I listened to Brendons question about correct hole size and remembered when I had the same problem about last year when I started designing things for myself, I found a very useful little chart from littlemachineshop(.)com that is the first result if you google “little machine shop tap chart”. The link at the top of the page has a PDF that has almost all the needed bore and drill sizes for whatever type of hole is needed based on fastener size, in standard and metric.
Making holes in Fusion360 also includes the option of choosing the type of fastener and then choosing between a tapped or clearance hole, and a lot of other useful options (depth, counterbore, countersunk, etc.).
I don’t know if I am required to ask a question, so if I am here it is: I’m thinking about selling some of my models as kits and as STLs. What would the best platform for that me? Etsy? Cults? Squarespace?
Thanks for your time,
Chris Feeney

Lots of K1 Max Talk, New Bambu Printer, Design Tolerance and MORE!

This Episodes Questions:

Hey guys, I’m a hobbyist and new to 3d printing. I have the budget right now for the P1P w/ AMS and would be able to save a bit for the X1C w/ AMS. I’m really debating between the 2 as I primarily print only PLA & PETG, and don’t really see myself needing an enclosure for some of the other filamen types. I’m interested in multi-material printing, speed, and not having to worry about leveling. I’d love to save some money by getting the P1P w/ AMS, but don’t know if it’s worth it to have the LiDar and some of the other bells & whistles that the X1-Carbon offers. Would love your input, thanks!

One thing I’ve always struggled with when designing new parts and fixtures is getting tolerances right, whether it be for a loose, sliding fit; push fit, or even creating a hole that a screw will go into and cut its own threads. Is there a general formula for sizing based off of the type of fit?
Brendon

Filament temps – When I first started printing I finally learned the correct settings for the original spool of PLA that I got. I got a new spool of PLA from a different company and just left the temp settings the same thinking it’d get the same result and I can’t get anything to stick. How do you guys go about finding the optimal temperature settings for a new spool?
Thanks for the great podcast!
Josh

Another question I was thinking about that I would love to hear your opinions about is bed adhesion, Glue Stick vs a Brim. Slicers are starting to default to autobrim, which I think is really weird.

I have saved up enough money to buy a $200 3d printer. Can you give me a list of pros and cons of each printer and 3d printing in general?

Hey Guy, 

    I’m working on starting a 3d printing business. I have only 1 3d printer, an ender 3 v2. This was my first 3d printer and I learned a lot in The past 2 years on this 3d printer and I want something different but I do not know what is the best 2nd printer. I hate watching videos and people dont really care about how their print quality looks, so it makes it hard to chose my next printer when there are only a few people on youtube who care about the quality of their prints. Im looking for something with great print quality. What do you, jj and nathan recommend?

P.s. 

Love the show. You guys are doing a great job.

hi everyone from Ozzy land

I have a Creality CR10S pro V2 and it hasn’t been too bad for a first printer (mind you its creality)  has any of you used this particular machine?  there isn’t many reviews on it.  and the other thing is how do you know when to change the heater cartridge? (outside of just not working) because my machine seems to be sensitive to the part blower blowing on it.  and its still a stock machine.

Thank you for the great podcast been learning plenty off it

The guys discuss the state of 3D printers and the directions the manufacturers are taking regarding updates to the technology. Is it about innovation or just price?

In our very first episode, Guy, JJ and Nathan give a little background on themselves.
