I've Gone and Done Something Mental

Links?
silly question the files on there... will they work on any 3dprinter

Yes. The .stl file that you download gets loaded into a "slicer" program like Cura which you tell about your printer. I have mine to load automatically when I click on an .stl file. From there, you see a representation of the item on a virtual print bed so that you can check its orientation, size and position. You can tweak those if you wish, so for example you can take something like a key fob and make three times, or half the size. You can load multiple parts to the bed if you wish, so that the parts all print together. You will have to move them about to give them room of course.

All you do is press the "slice" button once you are happy. That tells you how long it will take and how much filament it will use. It saves .gcode file onto a micro SD card that you put into the printer and off you go.

Project search results.

Then there are my creations!

This turned up today.



Rarely have to level the bed, so thought adding this should make it fairly bulletproof.

Can't figure out for definite if I can install that, &, a standard connection filament sensor together, though. Mind went numb last time I tried trudging through the available online vids, posts etc.

 

[ChrisBailey]

Will be interested on how you get on with that.

 

[MattF]

The Creality sensor, or trying to fit both?

 

[ChrisBailey]

Haha, all of it

I don't have a creality printer but it does look like there are several firmware version with different options enabled, like touch sensor that are pre-configured for use.
If its using Marlin firmware then there is plenty of information about how to configure various options. I use a bl touch sensor on mine and it uses the z limit switch connector on the motherboard and a servo connector as well. Adding both a touch sensor and filament sensor just depends on how many spare sensor inputs you have left as most are usually configurable from within the firmware

I challenge anyone to watch a few mins of this Ender3 vid, & say that their attention is totally on the dialogue.

Do you think she printed them?

Do you think she printed them?

I spent a short while wondering if they're real. Christ, they're distracting.

A SHORT while???

Better not watch her with a Creality CR-5

 

[MattF]

You're a bad man.

Just ordered one, not sure what it is though

 

[Bladevane]

I think it is probably the machine with no extraneous accessories.

That’s a lot of money for a creality printer.

Wife has promised to take me to the renowned Oddstock Eye Hospital to see if my sight can be saved once she stops laughing.

We are talking hardware ?

 

[MattF]

There's a printer?

Where
