Currently using a FLSUN Super racer. It’s a delta style printer and fast as hell compared to the printers I had before. 400 hours on it currently.

Had a Ender 3 before it. Lots of issues. Ended up giving it away to a friend who still uses it and still has random issues.

First printer was a Printrbot Simple Metal. Bought one the moment a heated bed was a option. Great printer for the time, but dated now. Keep thinking about resurrecting it to print flexibles on of these days.

Wanhao i3 Duplicator was my first printer. Used it for ever but I finally gave up on it after countless hours modifying and upgrading it.

Bought a p1p and holy shit is this thing amazing. I should have done this so much sooner.

Just built and enclosure for the p1p, and I am going to salvage what I can from the i3 and make a voron 0.2

I'm using a Prusa Mini, works perfectly, no tuning, but I want to get an 0.6mm nozzle at some point.

Primary: Artillery Sidewinder X1, absolutely stock except for parts that needed replacement but even those are just part swap, no upgrades or mods.

Secondary: MP Select mini Frame and some motors. The board is the motherboard form a Tronxy X5S. the bed is a manual replacement from an off brand and it has an off the shelf 12 V 300W PSU.

AnyCubic Chiron. Still going after many years, though sometimes I do need to spritz the plate with cheap hairspray to help adhesion

All my printing is done at my local makerspace. We have:

3 x Ultimaker 2+ 3 x Ultimaker 2+ extended Formlabs Form 3b Markforged mkII

Most of my printing is in the Ultimakers but I use the form 3b for anything small or that needs that extra find detail. I havent found a good reason to use the Markforged yet (the consumables are quite expensive) but should be fun when the need arises :)

Prusa Mini+

Creality CR10 - Almost every aspect of it was upgraded.

  • Control box delete, relocated electronics/psu under the frame.
  • Dual z leadscrews with anti-backlash nuts and oldham couplers
  • Linear rails for XY Axis
  • Bigger XY stepper motors
  • HeroMe Gen 7: Dual 5015 cooling fans
  • Nocuta 40mm hotend fan
  • Noctua 40mm electronics fan
  • BLTouch
  • Orbiter v2.0
  • Spider 3.0 hotend w/ MicroSwiss .4/.6 Nozzle
  • SKR E3 Mini V3
  • Raspberry Pi (OctoPrint)
  • Removable PEI Sheet -Solid Bed mount

I can print just under 190mm/s at volumetric flow rates of 20-25mm3/s. Also gonna try out those CHT nozzles and see if they can help with flow rates too.

I am planning on getting a lighter y carriage and lighter alu bed and see if i can go faster

Also upgrading to an AC powered bed. Probably going to leave it with the 12v PSU, once i get the AC powered bed.

Hotend doesn't take long to heat up unlike the bed almost 16-18 mins to 90c.

I will probably be getting a prusa mk4 or BambuLabs x1c as my next printer then a Voron. Once I get one of these my Prusa Mini will be converted to coreXY.
