I don’t know what is happening. Either they can’t support the heat of the Voron 2.4 bed or the quality of these probes has decreased. I use the same Omron sensors on my CR10 for 2 years and on my Voron Switchwire for […]

If your printer doesn’t have it or if you are not happy with how it performs, adding a BLtouch probe for ABL is the way to go. The BLtouch sensor is a universal solution for reliable ABL. Its performance doesn’t depend on […]

It has one main disadvantage though – its original Melzi control board has limited memory and onboard stepper drivers. These limitations make impossible to experiment with fancy firmware features (Marlin) or to benefit from the latest stepper driver technology. This instructable is for […]

It allows to send the print and apply acetone vapor, which gives incredibly good finish and polish. The main disadvantage comes with multicolor models. Acrylic paints that adhere well on PLA prints […]
