Im printing with PLA on Ender 3 s1 pro bed at 60 nozzle 200c i download the file from Thingaverse i reduced the object to 50.00 mm im still reading more posts to find a solution

found the correct one

I enjoyed reading these posts. I have the Ender 3 s1 pro can i get a link to the correct aluminum extruder

Sorry about the delayed response. I have to admit i’m am too new to printing to make any suggestions but that aside if i do find anything as per your questions i will let you know. Thanks for the above suggestion regarding the glasses I'm looking into it.

In the Marketplace upper right there is an addon called Material cost tool I'm not sure if it will help

Sorry i didn't know you replied. Is there a button on the forum that alerts me to replies and PM’s? my grand daughter needs glasses she is 2 my daughter is looking for a way to sinch them up they keep slipping apparently the provided strap is to big not sure included a picture

I was looking at videos and found one a guy in Australis on leveling he prints 4 squares on each corner to see if the bed level is correct Is there a download for squares, they are one or two layers thick.

Is there a decent pdf on setting up so I can study prior to setting up? as soon as I get the replacement Ill post. Amazon says it will be here Thursday

Question…i measured the heat from the board after heating it up. I used a digital gun to measure the heat at different areas. I used two guns. The heat on the screen said it was 60c but the gun’s even within a 1/2 inch above the board only got up to 53-54 c is this normal. Should i trust the screen or the guns? Meaning if the readouts come up to 53 c should i bump up the heat? I couldn't get a reading from the nozzle it was a bit small and hard to steady up on. right now im waiting for a UPS pickup i could be home all day. Amazon is shipping a new machine

Me after half a day chasing the problems on this Great machine

Ok time out this machine continues to try and print something even after a reset without a chip in or filament…weird i like the machine but it gotta work im getting a replacement Amazon agrees and is replacing at no cost. I spent half a day trying various things watched several great YouTube videos followed all great tips 🤪nothing works when i tried the auto level it couldn’t complete it…and i call myself an engineer…

new problem...I go to print it makes a test line on the side ok but nothing sticks now on the center. I have leveled it manually and automatically. I cleaned the board with alchoal but still not sticking. I had great success at first. I reset the memory several times and re leveled but still it is not sticking it makes a swuarrely mess in the middle.

Ill do that thanks I really appreciate your help

new problem Im getting loose lines see my pictures my first attempts were ok buy now they are weird.

How do you print 🤦‍♂️ Face slap. The control panel on my printer needs to scroll for added print jobs on sd chip

I have tried a new sd card with just the code and still no jackpot.......

OK the slicer produces a gcode BUT it won't see it without an additional file? the sd card has these files I sliced the DragonKnight as you can see however it appears like the cat that was supplied by the vendor has one added file? When I insert the SD card it does not recognize my Knight. When I click the blue icon, it brings up their slicer. It's a simple fix but I don't see it. I tried your slicer it's a bit over my head at this time, but I'll keep learning. Below is a screen shot of the contents of the SD card supplied by Ender. I printed the cat and rabbit and their logo with no problem

I really appreciate your input. Im new at this so my expectations are exceeding my knowledge 😳 there are great YouTube videos that help. Ill try your software. I put the sliced image on the SD chip that came with the printer do next ill save it on the computer then transfer it to the SD. I can see the saved image but the printer cant???

All I did was download a file from Thingiverse import to Cura and my printer then slice and save to SD card, but the printer only sees the objects that came on my printers sd card that came with the printer

I am a geek for certain. At 74 years I'm still actively engaged in tech and other activities. I recently acquired a Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro 3D. I'm enjoying it. My first question over the next few days is when using Cura and then slicing the object I save to the SD card but can't get the printer to see the file when insert it in the card and hit print.
