500x500 that’s huge! I don’t think I even have the space to put that in my house… well without it being in the way that is.

Well for me it turned out the firmware they released yesterday solved my issues. Guess they shipped my kit with some new chips or something idk 🤷‍♀️ just wish they told me a beta was available Friday or even on the page itself… oh well. At least I got to share my story with you guys 😄

What will be the first thing you print? Mine is the t-rex skull. It’s printing now. Amazing quality and speed. Really perfect first layer as wel I was literally drooling! Lol.

It was one of the prints I was very impressed of with my first printer, the Ender3v1. Never got around in doing him again on the mini. Life got in the way… kinda regret that now but anyway it will be amazing to see the difference between both. So far I’m over the moon. The mk4 is a fantastic printer.

The 5.0 official was released yesterday.

This version did solve my issues. I wish they suggested to try the beta Friday. Somehow I had no idea there even was a 5.0. I had to wait in the queue again this morning to ask for a status update when they told me. I felt such a n00b!

And then I waited in the queue again to tell them it solved my issues. They really should implement a basic ticketing system imho.

But anyway: What channels are you following to stay in the loop? Any good Rss feeds per chance? No Twitter or Facebook. Federated is oké but I do prefer rss. That’s almost the only one I don’t forget to check. 🤷‍♀️

I’m a women but I feel you my guy! 😉

Stay strong, I know from first hand with an Ender you need a loooooot of patience and then some.

My first printer was the Ender3v1. Pre Corona. Hell even printed things to help people make mouth guards during Corona… aaah the memories… (bit /s) What happened you ask? Well I upgraded almost everything on that one. The board. The fans. The plate. Automatic leveling,… but not the extruder that was my limit. At that point the upgraded were the same price as the printer

And boy it was magic! The silence. The automatic leveling, man great times! Until it wasn’t. You see this printer was fine for a while and then suddenly it said: f you! And I would spend hours tinkering with it. Time I did not have.

So at one point I had enough. Bought a mini on announce day, waited almost a year till they delivered and never looked back. Gave the Ender to my dad, and now he got the upgrade to the mini.

The Ender? Sits in a box. We gave up after yet another under extrusion problem, and gave the monies to another model instead.

So … if anyone lives in Eu/Belgium and is in need of spare parts for an Ender3? Shoot. I have lots. 😜

Yeah I did that. Didn’t help then

… fun thing though: when I contacted them this morning again… they said “hey we did release a firmware update yesterday can you try that one?” And you guessed it: that f## worked!! I was over the moon!!

Bit sour that they didn’t tell me this Friday to well test with the Beta but still… I don’t care now! man this printer is so ff amazing. I mean! Woweeeeee! Just amazing!

Thanks for the suggestion on the mini update, I will pass it on or do it myself later this week.

Thx! And u2!

And now I really want to know what a ratrig is 😁 do tell!

Scratch that: I googled it… and I should have known I guess 😏

And now I really want to learn a bit more about what you are building! Looks awesome

Thanks. I do actually. But thanks for giving me ideas, improvements can always be made! 😃

It’s more of a “unfinished project that is out of my hands now and I don’t know when it will be done even though I could probably fix it if…” type of situation actually. I’m not good with that kind of anxiety and uncertainty.

That said: they say you’re never to old to learn …… but …… hmm 😊

For me it’s simple: my ISP has crippled the upload to 30mbps making it impossible to host something from my home publically (download is 300mbps or more) but I do selfhost on unraid … it’s just for stuff in my house or for my privately with vpn outside. I run a TON of apps this way… I just don’t need them to be … public they are just for me to use at home mostly.

That for me is also selfhosting.

Now that said: I still ask the same question to my isp when they want to upsell me something: and what about the upload? The sales persons mostly don’t know what I mean or how it matters 🤦‍♀️… anyway I’ve been doing this for 20+ years now…… kinda lost hope? But nah not yet 😏 … “hoop doet leven” we tell or selves over here (translates to: hope is live)
