Beginner? Budget? You know what? Personally and professionally I have a hard time giving it that label because of it's assumed quality that way as well as calling it budget because it's simply outperformed printers in much higher brackets so far. I'll do my best to explain why along the way and include some current final thoughts for you to think about. You'll notice it being difficult for me to contain my enthusiasm at times because well, I don't have problems with printers in general. I have set procedures and after working with hundreds of printers over the years now it takes alot to get me going. This one actually does. I did a earlier teaser video, and at the time my studio camera was on duty elsewhere, but in retrospect I'm glad its not embellished with lighting that can mislead print quality. It's just there and no voodoo, the prints are great. I...

Great news for those using the factory default firmwares - you can now drop in a spiffy new GUI that matches the style of our released Advanced Marlin Firmwares! It's as easy as dropping the files on a SD card, and booting up your printer. It will update automatically. (Video at bottom) Take a Peek! You can find the files in our Resource Section HERE.  3D Nexus Twitch Channel - Join3D Nexus Worldwide on YouTube - Join  But wait? What's this? Requests on previous shows brought about a few color options - variants to "DiBlue" for those that like to trick their printers out with various color vanity mods.They are all almost finished (300 buttons X 4 firmware flavors y'all, gimme a break, I'm one guy!) I want to point out for my tastes, Im going to pimp out a machine in each color and swag them with accenting LED's. The DiBlue looks sweet in the dark,...

The ribbon cables. Plague for some, and no consideration for others. Last year I introduced a fix for the problem some were having and I'm just here to report the findings after about, a year, on multiple machines. The one ribbon that went rogue last year May to date (the reason I devised the solution), has been the only one replaced. Yep. Each machine (6 and counting) has been happily chugging away almost daily since and I stopped concerning myself with the possibility of it happening around oh, October 2019. What did I do? No elaborate teardown, no wheel existed at the time to reinvent. I made a strain relief for the Extruder that (can) use the default cover, and the remaining points on the X and Z simply had (drum roll) a small bead of LOW temperature hot glue ran across the facing side of the connection. The fix was done in...
