Of course. One can make a better knife, or just take one out of a kitchen drawer.

Helper script (2nd link) is easier to use. simple AF (first link) is fully open source, but requires you to use another bed leveling probe - no open source „driver” for prtouch- the built in one (which is slow and not terribly accurate anyway).

There are some companies that violate GPL. Guess what happens to them? Nothing (unfortunately).
- Comment on Creality's Warranty Loophole: How They Tried to Charge Us $30 for a Defective Sensor 3 weeks ago:
Their software is somewhat open too, and you can root it unlike some other printers

I had them replace it 3 times before I got a working one. By the time it was delivered I’ve returned my Ender 3 V3 KE and got…K1. I am much happier with it though, and I’ve even mounted that CR-Touch on it at się point;)

No worries. I’ve sent you updated link in another comment.
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 4 weeks ago:
Here’s another hotend link, the old one was dead indeed: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EQs5RNi You can get very cheap MK8 nozzles for it, or get some better ones too. The hardened steel ones can handle the CF filaments really well, I’ve been using one for over a year now.
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 4 weeks ago:
Good luck with that, they don’t care too much about respecting OSS licensing either. Aside from that I’m enjoying my K1 - after I’ve modified it ;)
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 4 weeks ago:
I don’t one why you’re asking me these questions. The link works for me - maybe it’s your adblocker. I believe it was only the extruder that was different. Creality support was pretty bad, but I’ve pressed them to eventually send me replacement parts when I needed them
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 5 weeks ago:
So is your printer using unicorn nozzles (s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHOujRQ)? I believe K1C and maybe some newer builds of K1/Max came with those. I have switched to CHCB-OT (s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EJhmisG) it has a good flow and easy to find nozzles (MK8).
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 5 weeks ago:
Did you get K1, K1C, K1 max or something else? Can you link to the parts you got?
- Comment on What is the problem here? 1 month ago:
Also preheating and waiting before bed leveling helps. These beds are wobbly. I’ve put a glass bed on top of the factory one on my K1
- Comment on Using PrusaSlicer, is there a way of getting a thicker (two layers, preferably) support base? See linked pic for what I mean. 1 month ago:
Exactly what I’m talking about, this is why I’m using glue. If you’re talking about a textured plate it’s probably PEI
- Comment on Using PrusaSlicer, is there a way of getting a thicker (two layers, preferably) support base? See linked pic for what I mean. 1 month ago:
Yeah, I dry my filament (especially PETG) with one of those too. I don’t have to use glue, it just makes PETG easier to remove from the plate. Otherwise it can stick to the plate too well (had a case where I removed the model with some of the PEI coating).
- Comment on Using PrusaSlicer, is there a way of getting a thicker (two layers, preferably) support base? See linked pic for what I mean. 1 month ago:
I’m actually using spray glue (3dlac) usually with a textured PEI (rarely a smooth PEI) plate. I’m also using PET/PEO (double sided) plate with PETG (without glue) - adhesion is really good, but not too good (so it’s easy to clean).

3 things that help me with PETG when it comes to separate it from the plate:
- Glue (yes, really)
- Cooling it off (sometimes putting the plate with leftovers on the freezer)
- Olfa scraper (at a right angle to not scratch the plate)

I think I was getting Jayo PETG from AliExpress. As for PCTG it was from Rosa3D - you can get it directly from them or through Allegro
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 2 months ago:
I’ve printed a lot of Jayo PETG, and aside from having to dry it before use, it was fine (and very cheap).
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 2 months ago:
Im Poland you can get PETG for <30 zł, PCTG for ~80. PETG-CF for a little bit more than the plain one.
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 2 months ago:
I am aware of that, but usually Jayo branded filament is cheaper ;)
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 2 months ago:
I’ve used both. PCTG is much more expensive than PETG (which is one of the filaments you can get very cheap), and does not offer that much over it. Unless you need something with (very slightly) better impact and temperature resistance PETG is way to go. If you need much better impact/temperature resistance ASA/PA is the way to go. I’m using PETG+CF if I need more durability and temperature resistance than the plain one, but avoid CF for stuff I have to touch a lot.
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 2 months ago:
Eryone and Jayo are pretty good (and cheap) too
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 2 months ago:
Yup, try PETG, it’s pretty versatile and resistant to most things (aside from very high temperatures).

Try it, I was thinking the same thing once and it did turn out to be the case
- Comment on Gaps in first layer, but not in brim? 2 months ago:
Any chance your z-offset is making the nozzle too close to the plate/too high flow rate for it?
