Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
Hello all,
im new to this forum and new to 3d printing.
so i thought i'd introduce myself.
my name is Michel AKA sneezle.
I'm 38 and father of 2 kidz.
those 2 rascals got me a 3d printer for my birthday ( with help of mommy )
so last sunday i started my MK3 kit build after waiting 4 months.
i hope i can learn a lot printing and from the advise everybody gives and that i can find on the forum.
to start here are some pictures of my MK3 and the first print
( would love to here what you guys think and give tips on first print. i think it looks great. but then again as i said im completely new to 3d printing. 😀
Re: Sneezle mk3 ( noob printer)
here is first print after calibration.
your thoughts, comments and tips are greatly appriciated
Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
Looking very sharp! Love the green sleeving on the cables. 😀
But one small piece of info that jumps out on me, You say you waited 4 months, but i thought you ordered the printer on Januari 19th and got extremely lucky that it shipped so quickly. Or am i mixing up multiple Sneezle's 😆
Anyway the printer looks superb, so happy printing!
Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)

no you are completely correct partick let me elaborate... my birthday was roughly 4 months ago , and family said they would get me a 3d printer for me when they saved up for it.

So waited 4 months to get printer ( birthday present) and 6 weeks from order to shipping..
Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
That makes perfect sense! And indeed then you have been waiting 4 months. 😉
Enjoy your piece of printing heaven.
Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
This looks fantastic! Nice finished ends on the sleeves. Maybe, you can do mine when it arrives? 🙂
Thanks for sharing the pics... the green sleeves are the bomb!

Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
I'm a newbie as well, but from what i can tell, there is room to improve on the first layer calibration. There are small gaps between the plastic lines/ paths on the bottom of the benchy. The plastic should fuse together tightly with no gaps.
Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
9.5/10. Knocked you for having spool holder up top, get that off printer! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2727093 this is wonderful to use if you do, love mine. 🙂

yes, after the benchy is did an new first layer test and printed second benchy had solid base ( noo gaps). but thanks for the tip 😉
Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
So after some more printing of the tested prusa prints on the memory card I finally felt comfortable enough to try a print from thingeverse and slice it myself.
I'm happy with result but its not perfect by all means, hope you guys here can give me some more tips after looking at pictures.
Re: Sneezle's MK3 ( noob printer)
try variable layer height to improve the curved detail especially the circular end where the contours are most visible

The ringing you have around details and corners can be fixed by dropping your external perimeter speed to 15mm/s. It'll slow your print down a little (just on the external perimeters), but the bump in quality is huge. Also keep an eye out for the upcoming reintroduction of Linear Advance, it will fix corner bulging.

Lowered the external perimeter as suggested .. print a lot nicer. 🙂

It looks better than it prints... so mk3...
