I have an ender I don't ever make adjustments. I can almost always just print remotely. What adjustments are you doing? Granted it took a while to mod mine with bl touch and a new board and new extruder drive.
I have a couple of issues, actually. I had it set up perfectly and loved the results it produced (perfect bed adhesion, perfect layer stacking, no elephant foots whatsoever).
But then I moved and stored it away and didn't touch it for almost a year. Now I have issues with bed leveling and extrusion.
Even if I manually level the bed it gets uneven in between printing jobs. My BL-Touch can't even counter it. Some time after that my extruder stopped working correctly. It wont feed filament and just grind away at the gear. I've check for clogs and if the gear was worn out but that's not issue. I have a feeling this printer is cursed lol
Now I just want a clean printer that I haven't tinkered with yet so I can back into 3D printing after my unintended hiatus haha. Any idea what to do with my current printer? I don't really want to fix it anymore.
People sell them on craigslist fairly often, if you have that. Just be honest about the problems. It'll also help if you kept the original parts and sell them with it.
(I don't suppose you're in Seattle, are you?)
Thank you, fortunately I kept all the original parts.
I'm on a whole other continent 😅 If anyone from Germany is interested in fixing an ender 3 pro DM me.
