So my Geeetech A10 Pro has started acting weirdly lately. Nozzle isn't heating up above 170C and bed isn't going above 60C, no matter how long I wait. Eventually the printer goes into thermal runaway. I've checked the voltage across the connectors of both and it's 12V (normal since Geeetech GT2560 is a 12V board). I've also replaced the nozzle heater with a brand new one and there is no difference in printer's behaviour. Has anyone experienced such issues in their printers? Movements of printer are working perfectly on all axes. Would appreciate if anyone can help!

I've been doing research on the news and trends of the 3D printing industry, and I got to say, you've got to hand it to 3D printers, they're like the ultimate symbol of innovation and laziness all rolled into one. I mean, who needs skills when you can just print whatever you want?

From printing prosthetics that change lives to creating sustainable housing options, 3D printers are genuinely transforming industries. And it's not just about grand, world-changing innovations; they're also making our daily lives easier. Need a phone case? You can just print it!

But let's not get too carried away here. 3D printing has some serious limitations – material constraints, quality control issues, and a pretty significant environmental impact.

We're living in an era where you can literally print your own shoes. What's next? Printing organs for transplantation? The possibilities are both endless and unsettling.

Companies like MakerBot, Stratasys, and Ultimaker are leading the charge, but beware: investing in 3D printing comes with risks. It's not just a matter of throwing money at a promising technology; you've got to understand the landscape.

To be clear, 3D printers are revolutionary, yet imperfect. Let's celebrate the innovation while addressing the challenges because at the end of the day, that's what progress is all about.

Optimal Settings for PLA on X1C

Hey everyone, I’ve been printing for almost a year now. I don’t have the best print quality/experience and have been frustrated by the little things, I want to know how you are printing and the settings you use, I’ll share some issues I’m having and hopefully we can fix them together!

1. ⁠I can’t use the printers fans without warping/detaching the prints entirely if they are on! I keep having to turn the fans off at the start and after the first layer inspection! I feel like I am helicopter parenting the printer/prints! I also can’t keep the door closed as the prints never work, I for sure want to fix the door problem!

2. ⁠I print on 220°C for the nozzle and 35°C for the bed, some room for improvements there as I ordered some textured plates and effects beds for Black Friday. How do you print?

Also I use a UHU stick (same as a standard school glue stick, same as the Bambu lab one that comes with the printer) I’ve been told do use that and so far it works as long as I do the above (keep fans off, door open)

What do you do? I would really love the help/suggestions!

Thanks Reddit!

Hey Everyone,

I have been experiencing problems lately on my X1C with the parts I print lifting and warping when the part and auxiliary fan kick in (primarily the aux fan) I use glue for adhesion and print only in PLA and its variants, Bed temp is typically 35°C and nozzle is 220°c (Standard). I try to turn these off but it’s really annoying to do that ALL THE TIME 😅! Any solutions or similar situations?

Please help! Thanks,

so i brought up to my friend who has a printer i wanted to print these fake nails i saw, they where basically extendable like you could clip on and off a piece to make them longer/shorter i dont rlly know much about printing and was wondering if anyone knows where i could find the file for it???

thank you sm 😔 🙏
