How I fully automated my 3D printer

This is amazing gives me alot of ideas for my own printer. I think for me I dont need it to be automatic but I do want to be able to restart the print remotely, while watching it with a camara. This way when away from home for work I can click and restart prints myself!! thanks.

Hey! I just watched it all at ~400 views and got some feedback: - really liked when u explained what did you change and what made things work (like the gcode command to capture 30 degree of the hotbed) rather than: oops not working > I will fix it > oops not working > I will fix it > it works! - I would love to see some b roll or montage of non stop working 3d printer after all video explaining why is it not working rather than 20s timelapse - quality production is super nice altough I think sometimes the music is too loud? idk might be just me You seem like a cool dude, earned a sub! Also, I recently started my journey with 3d printing so I guess YT algorithm is working haha gl mate with your channel

If you don't want to root your printer you can just copy and paste the gcode over and over to que the prints from within one file. Works great! It loses some of the functionality of your system but it is less scary (for me at least). If you throw in some code you can also get it to make purge lines in different spots for every print.

I have the ender 3 v3 ke too and the Orca slicer works perfectly for me.

Sehr tolles video. Danke dafür!

Love this! I enjoy watching people experiment and actually explain what has been done (ie, the devil is in the details). This type of sharing helps the community get creative as well. I read through some of the comments and people are actually making suggestions and are working to help you! I've been looking at this type of setup for organization and I just didn't have the patience to manually remove each piece. This "unsupervised" approach is the solution. Thanks for making your settings available!

Amazing. Earlier today I was wondering how to do something like this. Printing a HUGEEE sword right now and having to wake up every morning and move it to the next print is annoying because it wastes a lot of time. You deserve way more than 5k subs.

Very cool :) great video, hopefully one day I'll be able to follow in your footsteps

depending on the printer there could be a wipe wall that wipes the whole width at once. I have a Bambu x1c. In thory I could design a wall that is near bed level and I would need move the head behind the bed to activate the wall and leave the door open. It is something to do before it is needed. when I get a chance I will design it.

Very smart solution!

Great job man! That takes really lots of perseverance to continue with the project after so many tries.

awesome video man!

Great work!

When I got close to getting my og Ender 3 working flawlessly, the v3 SE comes out lol making the money I spent upgrading the of stock one an over priced learning experience lol. I’m still enjoying it since I wouldn’t say it’s an ended 3 anymore lol.

Really cool and actually something I might attempt someday. The bed-temperature Gcode-trick is quite clever. I’d be kinda scared of using the nozzle to push of prints though for things to go out of alignment.

Cool video, I'm thinking of automatic my 2 KEs as well, one tip for the bed leveling, you can print out spacers for the sides of the bed that are bent downwards(consult the bed mesh preview on mainsail) and reduce the deviation on your plate a bit more. You can google the how to about it, other people have done it as well. Hope it helps

I agree, the Ender 3 is a good starter 3D printer. That's what got me started.

Great idea! A concern is what about a shape that moves out of the way of the head? The use that you had as a test is very predictable nice flat side. I would want some visual conformation that the part is gone, before it continues, maybe a remote continue. Maybe it would have a limited range of parts that it would work with. Min height, flat wall. This could be over come with a sacrificial wall built. a worst case is something like the articulated dragon. ( I have no use for them, but the concept shows the problem). short, misc. fragile spikes that might not fall off the bed. with a remote conformation maybe it could activate another sweep off, or next print. But even if it has a limited effectivity, great option!

This is amazing content .... keep up the solid work!!! What tool head / shroud is that on your SE?

I wonder how hard it would be to add a wipe wall to the printer? Maybe a wall that is normally just in front of the head. and only slightly above the surface. Would not work with all prints (thinking short like a lithophane. but there is always limits.
