I hope everyone is well. This is kind of test. Tech Gorilla here. I got an invite and I'm here. I have two printers currently - A Hictop 3DP-17 and an original, heavily-modified Ender 3 unit. I'm currently working on the Hictop as the Ender is printing like a dream!
What's shaking in this corner of the internet?

Welcome to 3D Print Boards.
I have started most of my Hictop slicer profiles using Ender 3 Profiles they seem to work really well.
This would lead me to believe that the two 3D Printers are quite similar, not saying exactly the same though quite similar.
Would like very much like to see some of your Heavily modified Ender 3 modification, maybe some could be used for our 3DP11 thru 3DP17 Hictop 3D Printers.

The list of Ender 3 upgrades that I can remember offhand:
New MKS controller with silent steppers. All metal feed mechanism. Upgraded springs. Petsfang cooling setup. Upgraded bowden tube. New screen and mount. (old screen is on Hictop) Raspberry pie camera mount bracket. 0.6mm nozzle New heater cartridge and thermistors. New controller case. Cheps offset spool holder mount. TPU shock isolation mounts. PEI on glass bed. BLTouch w/printed mount Custom Marlin 1.1.9 bugfix.
SO far, that's all I can think of. Pics included.

Welcome to the forum. Very nice set up. I sometimes miss my old ender 3 pro and mods when I see something like this. I had BL touch, drag chains, direct drive, mini e3 controller, and Cheetah firmware

Welcome to the forum. Very nice set up. I sometimes miss my old ender 3 pro and mods when I see something like this. I had BL touch, drag chains, direct drive, mini e3 controller, and Cheetah firmware Thank you! I am quite pleased with the Ender. It's so dialed, that I no longer even need to watch the first layer go down. I select "print" and walk away. If I have my way, shortly the Hictop will be the same way! With some guidance from this board, or course. |
