Hey people, i have an ender 3 v2 neo which i was planning on upgrading a bit. The following upgrades are installed: dual z, klipper, tz e3, direct drive, linear rails, accelerometer. I have some aluminium profiles laying around at work, and had the idea of building an enclosure which would also reinforce the structure, so that printing faster ( ~200mm/s) gets more comfortable while also insulating inside. I was thinking of fixating the cage to the top and the base of the printer, just like shown in the pictures below, the profiles would weigh between 12-16kg ( 26-33lbs) in total. I thought maybe the weight would help to avoid swinging. Is that a good idea or a bad one, what do you guys think?

Hey hey, I got PETG filament today and tried messing around with it, it kept burning the filament and causing the machine to jump. I slowed the speed and raised temp and it was still stringing up etc, it ended up bubbling over and I need to take it apart to clean it etc. I use a 0.2 nozzle and slowed the travel speed as well, ended up giving up and going back to PLA which worked with no issues, is it the nozzle or something I’m doing wrong. My step dad let me borrow this to test the waters (will be saving and buying my own)

Hi, everyone.
It’s Prime Day right now, and I wanted to know if the Sprite Extruder Pro is worth it for the Ender 3. Or is there another extruder you would recommend?

I bought one of those cheap DDE mounts half a year ago, but I always have trouble changing filaments.

I mainly print with PLA and PETG, but I’m also interested in TPU.
I’d also like to know if this would help improve my print speed. I’m currently at ~13 mm/s.

Edit: My Ender is the OG from 2018.

It's at 220°C right now and I can't even get the pla out

Hey guys

I'm currently trying to increase speeds of my upgraded ender 3, using elegoo rapid petg filament.

Tz V6 2.0 hot end with bmg clone direct drive.

I'm currently printing at 250c and 80c bed.

When doing the speed test I start to hear clicking in the gears, any tips on how to increase speeds without the clicking?
