- Comment on I designed a filament dryer mount for my tukkari mk4 enclosure 6 months ago:
Enclosure is mostly to keep cat hair off my printer (my cat sheds like crazy) and to filter some of the microplastic dust and fumes. It does reduce warping by keeping the volume warmer than room temperature, I print a lot of PETG so this helps.

Dang, I need to try that. Good idea.

- Comment on PETG Print Issues 1 year ago:
It might just be the specific spool/brand of PETG you used. Try buying some from a major well-known manufacturer, like Overture, Polymaker, etc. I’ve had cheaper brands shrink, warp, have adhesion issues, and all sorts of other quirks.

Nope, this is the same size as the stock Prusa sheets.
- Comment on Encountered my first power outage mid-print... 1 year ago:
This is just a regular-sized Prusa MK4, 250 x 210mm xy build area. I made this custom magnetic G10 sheet for printing PETG, it’s 253.8 x 241mm.

Ended up moving the little 500VA UPS from my computer to the 3D printer. Hopefully it’ll help for brief blips.

- Comment on First time with PETG. Is this calibration, wetness or something else? 1 year ago:
This could be it, OP should check what the actual temperature says on the screen during printing.
- Comment on First time with PETG. Is this calibration, wetness or something else? 1 year ago:
Double-check the print temperature, PETG should be about 240-ish. Also the spiral vase mode may be the issue if your model isn’t designed for it. Also check your z offset, the first layer should be almost a flawless sheet… if not, stop the print and try again while live adjusting the z until it’s correct. Typically PETG doesn’t like to be squished down as much as PLA.
- Comment on Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along 1 year ago:
I printed the panels using the full width of my large 300x300mm print bed. I have three of them mounted to the wall. There are several sizes available though, you can always merge more smaller ones.
- Comment on Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along 1 year ago:
It’s actually just a shorter version of the tall basket model that was available. I originally meant for it to hold my alcohol bottle, but it was too small… then I discovered it fits the canned air perfectly.
- Comment on Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along 1 year ago:
It’s a good system. There are an insane number of tool holders already available for download, and it’s pretty easy to design your own by sticking the existing male hexagon part onto a model in fusion 360. Note the direction of the hexagons when mounting the panels… I had these rotated 90 degrees at first without realizing, which means all of my tool holders would have been at the wrong angle lol. Had to patch some holes and remount the panels, ugh.
- Comment on Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along 1 year ago:
Don’t question my methods lol
- Comment on Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along 1 year ago:
The hexagon panels have a larger recess in the back, so parts snap in securely.
- Comment on I designed a printable drywall mount. 1 year ago:
Neat, good job. You might want to include what screw size it fits, and the word “anchor” somewhere in the description/title for searching (these are typically called drywall anchors in the US).
- Comment on Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along 1 year ago:
Surprisingly so. It’s very difficult to remove the holders, and I print everything in PETG for added toughness.

- Comment on Finished building the MK4 kit and placed it in the enclosure, first few prints have been great. 1 year ago:
This is their thicker (and more expensive) enclosure, I haven’t noticed any issues. The back end of the dryer is right over the corner joint to hopefully add strength.

One thing to check on the factory models is the belt centering on the pulleys. Both my X and Y belts weren’t centered correctly despite following the directions flawlessly, had to shim the motor mounts and also the printed Y motor holder where it mounts to the frame. Seems to be a common issue.
- Comment on Finished building the MK4 kit and placed it in the enclosure, first few prints have been great. 1 year ago:
It’s significantly faster, the higher motor resolution reduces vertical fine artifacts, and the nextruder reduces texture that could otherwise be caused by bad drive gears.

Tukkari support told me directly to do this. It barely gets warm under the dryer, so there’s no real risk of it damaging the plexiglass.

This right here. Crazy to me that people would pay for what ublock origin does for free. Especially people defending the need to shell out for the service to “support” a trillion dollar company like Google.
