I bought my first 3D printer end of februari 2022. So I am pretty new to this 3D printing world.

My first printer I bought was the Creality CR10s Pro V2. I only use this printer for PLA and TPU. I used it stock for quite some time. For the stock hotend I did Luke`s Hotend Fix. In April 2023 I updated the stock hotend by a MicroSwiss All Metal Hotend, replaced the extruder by an Orbiter 2.0 in DirectDrive mode and added a Hero Me Gen7 fan duct. I made a simple enclosure for this printer. More info on the enclosure is found here. |
The Ender 5 Plus I bought second hand. This one was my ‘Project Printer’. Well, it has been a real project though. |

Both printers are network connected by Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi 4b 8Gb. A little overkill for Octoprint. I can now easy view status of the prints and control the printer. |
Next to printers and Octoprint, I always use a eSun eBox for printing. There is one for each printer. Before I start printing, I put my filament in my Tutti Frutti food hydrator. It can be set for 45c (PLA), 55c (TPU), 65c (PETG) and 70c (ABS) for 4 to 6 hours. |
