Printed on my Ankermake M5c out of a dual silk pla.

Trying to decide if I want to send back the all metal extruder for the ender and get a direct drive. Mostly considering that because z axis upgrade gets here tomorrow. And of course I’m grabbing some diamond tipped nozzles from diamondback.

The Ankermake is bitchin btw.

48YO man here. Wanted one for an awhile had no idea where to start, so I bought an ender 3. I’ll have to admit, the only reason I bought it was because I’ve read those books. Sci-fi check them out Orsen Scott Card is the author. “Enders Game” is the first book in the series I think.

But I digress, I had no idea how much fun it is designing and printing my own crap! I designed and made some stupid bracket for a broken drawer. You always get a sense of satisfaction by building things. But HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!. I rode that high for 3 days straight.

Now I’m printing all sorts of crap. Wanted to print my breakfast this morning. I’m cruising Facebook market like it’s tinder sending messages in a vain attempt to scratch my itch. Are there support groups? I have a feeling I’m gonna wake up in a pile of failed prints down in a ditch with no money and a missing kidney.

Btw the blue benchy on the right is in petg. I made it in my ignorance that turned out great. Now I’m a little more educated on filaments to know PETG will not print in an arch very well. No idea how it turned out so well.

Anyway, see you guys from the bottom of my ditch.
