Hello, i'm still not done with my pf3 and got a lot of problems with cooling and retraction. My So i tried to adopt a EVA hotend to the printer. Here i was asking for it: https://www.forum.makertech3d.com//forum/proforge-3-3d-printing/extruder-fanduct-mount-upgrade I'm not a big designer, but this is the best what was able for me and Tinkercad: Now i have to realign the Z-Sensor and the available hight. Is it better for me to run klipper? My sd card slot is broken, so it would be better anyway. @Johannes Weis Do you got a working klipper version? How i can adjust it? Thank you for the answers.

Hello, is anybody tries to upgrade the mount ot the hotend? Or the complete mount? May be to the Afterburner? The mount of the hotend is a bit strange, may be is there a improvement possible? After my printer say "NO" to me, i think about a upgrade:

Hello everyone, somehow I'm coming to the conclusion that the PF3 is not a mature product. After the upgrades I was hoping to get something more reliable product. But the problems still don't stop there, after 30-40 prints it continues: - SD card is not always recognized, loose contact and stopped several times the prints after loosing contact - filament sensor don't work, the printer don't stop when the material is out - cable routing with the housing: the extruder cables have already been pinched twice by the idler pulleys - prints have been stopped several times due to thermal runaways Unfortunately, I am not a firmware programmer and was just hoping for a relatively reliable product. Are upgrades still worth it or is it hopeless?

Hello community! Unfortunately Makertech installed pretty bad the fans on the printer, so I have now decided on some well-known upgrades in the next days: - Fanupgrade to Noctua 40x20 (Noctua NF-A4x20) with a converter - Squash ball damper (i got them on all my printers) - idler pulleys by Peterg Recommendations by Johannes Weis: - Z-axis synchronisation - Dragon Hotend HF - Insulation pad for the bed I would like a better part cooling, is there a better fan duct for the Dragon Hotend?
My printer is screaming, it want to be updated ;) content media

Hello all, I have noticed that some problems are caused by the hotend fans. On the one hand, the fans whine strongly at lower speed and on the other hand, they only start to rotate at all at just under 40% speed setting. Below 40% they do nothing at all. Are the fans defective or can it be corrected otherwise? I print a lot of ASA and would like the fans to run slowly. Or is there a fan shroud for normal 40mm noctua fans? Thank you.
