Hi fellows! In this article I will describe my experience of upgrading the Creality Ender-5 Plus printer. Namely — replacement of the stock Creality 2.2 motherboard with BTT Octopus Pro.

It’s time to continue experimenting with the Bizon 3 printer. My first attempt at improvement was Octoprint. In short, I liked easy installation, when the system successfully installed and worked on the first try, intuitive interface and endless possibilities of improving the monitoring and control functions. What I didn’t like however was a certain slowness, and overall there was little sense, except for the possibility of remote monitoring.

It has been repeatedly pointed out to me that Octoprint in combination with Marlin is way too old-fashioned. Even more outdated is just Marlin or its modified version, for instance, for Raise3D printers, which I don’t quite agree with, but that’s not the point right now. The thing that is relevant is Klipper. Well, it’s time to try it personally.

Hello everyone.

Recently I was wondering if layering is normal for photopolymer printing.

The main points in the comments on the forums were:

1) This is normal; either the model itself is curvy or its positioning is wrong, etc.;

2) The model should be sanded or primed to improve its look;

3) It is worth trying to play with AA (Anti Aliasing).

At the same time, the views on point 3 are quite opposite:

1) Unlike Phrozen, in case with Anycubics, AA is nothing more than a marketing trick that does not work;

2) With the new models, native slicer, and fresh firmware, it works.

I decided to check it out for my own experience, so here is my small comparison test for your attention.

This article describes how to install the Orbiter V2.0 feeder on the newer revisions of the Vyper, with the connector on the printhead with clamps.

Since Anycubic Plus and Anycubic Max basically have the same printhead as Vyper, these instructions will work for them as well. In fact, Orbiter V2.0 can be installed on any FDM printer, be it Creality or Modix.

There are a lot of options online for how to install a desired feeder on the printhead, but all of them are bulky and clumsy, which I didn’t like. In the end, the choice fell on Orbiter V2.0, because it is relatively small and supports a filament sensor, which can be mounted directly on the extruder. As for the wires, they look quite decent next to the native loop.

The world of manufacturing has witnessed a paradigm shift with the advent of 3D printing technology. Initially perceived as a niche hobby for enthusiasts, it has burgeoned into a pivotal industry innovation, driving advancements across medical, aerospace, automotive, and consumer goods sectors. The technology's allure lies in its ability to transform digital blueprints into tangible objects layer by layer, offering unprecedented flexibility in design and production.

StereoLithography Apparatus, or SLA 3D printing, is a form of additive manufacturing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts in a layer by layer fashion using photopolymerization. Photopolymerization is a process by which light causes chains of molecules to link together, forming polymers, which then make up the body of a three-dimensional solid.
