We are not done yet because you will need to use the provided wrench to stabilize the bed. There are three screws underneath that you need to tighten (or loosen), so that the bed will lose the wobbling effect – you can use the moving plastic wheels to have a feel at how tight the screws are. And now it’s time to adjust the hotbed – to do so, start the printer (switch the power to on) and from the display, tap on the Leveling tab. You will now see five points and you need to tap on each at a time and then adjust the wheels from underneath the bed until all five parts allow you to move a sheet of paper with only a little bit of resistance. High-temperature Resistant Teflon Tube: LK5 Pro 3d printer's teflon tube can withstand high temperature which up to 280℃ (others printers are 250 ℃ in normal), is not easy to soften, and is easier to feed filaments during printing which helps to improve the printing quality and reduce nozzle clogging.
There is a selection of filaments that have been used from T-PLA White (unbranded), Geeetech White Pla, Rainbow Silk Pla+ (unbranded) and Geeetech Transparent PLA. After the calibration prints, I went through and sorted my slicer profile settings. And I’m very pleased with the results I’m getting with the profile. Calibration Raft: NOLonger was founded in 2016 by Dr. Law from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Dr. He from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a dynamic brand emerging from the depths of cutting-edge scientific research. The only thing I noticed negatively here is the very sparsely dimensioned filament. It is just enough for a small test print. The Spool holder on the LK5 Pro is now located on the lower left-hand side of the 3D printer with an angle that is more direct to the filament sensor and extruder, allowing the filament a more direct passage.
Many of us are still using Simplify3D as our slicer it’s hard to convert to a different program, yes S3D is a paid software with hardly any updates and its falling behind to there competitors will they eventually surpass the competition. Let’s get to the point down below: we have many profiles for all different machines and setups. PLA Simplify3D Slicer Profiles JGAurora A5S Slicer Profile – Link The leveling of the print bed happens manually on the LK5 Pro. There is a submenu for leveling the print bed in the menu of the 3D printer, but it is only a support. In this menu, you can move to 5 points on the print bed. At these 5 points, you have to level the print bed manually.Longer LK5 Pro is not a successor to a regular LK5 since the manufacturer preferred using the terms Pro to signify the use of the same color LCD found on the LK4 Pro and a larger frame. There is obviously some marketing fluff there as well. In any case, the 3D printer, when fully built, is larger than both the LK4 and the LK4 Pro, measuring 22.8 x 21.2 x 26.1 inches (58.0 x 54.0 x 66.3 cm) and weighing 29.8lbs (13.5kg), so yes, you do need to plan ahead where it’s going to be positioned because it does take a lot of space. The good news is that the print size is 11.8 x 11.8 x 9.8 inches (30.0 x 30.0 x 40.0 cm), so you can create very large models. How well a 3D printer can be manually leveled really varies between different models. With very inexpensive DIY 3D printers, it can take several attempts until the print bed is really level.
Mount the Z-axis on the frame: After the X-axis, the Z-axis is mounted on the frame. To do this, you only need to mount the stepper motor at the bottom of the frame and turn the screw rod from the top through the X-axis and connect it to the stepper motor at the bottom. The bed leveling is not automatic, meaning you will have to do it manually. While not a deal-breaker, this can be a pain, especially if you’re used to printers with automatic leveling. The print volume is a whopping 300 x 300 x 400 mm! This means you can also print larger objects in one piece. To use this technique of using permanent markers to add colour to filament before 3D printing on this budget 3D printer. You won’t be able to use the supplied spool holder as it won’t work because the pen holder needs to be placed on the left Z extrusion. Therefore, you will need to use any other spool holder than can be placed at the top of the printer. The way this method works is by the extruder pulling the filament through the penholder resulting in multi colour 3D prints.With any 3D printer, you are bound to have issues at some stage and of course to any 3D printer problem there is a solution. There were only two that I found on the LK5 PRO. LK5 Pro Layer Cooling Fan Duct Problem How cool is it to print a model that once it’s finished, it moves around from its articulated joints. The designer created a pattern for the wings, which is like the real thing but with less detail to make it printable. But unfortunately for me that did not happen because of being printed to close to the bed so all the joins fused together. This is an easy fix adjust your z offset. Quite happy with the print quality, therefore i have attached a string to the tail and hanged it on one of my trees outside. The first thing that you can take out of the box is the gantry, as well as the screw rod and the two supporting rods. Then there’s the spatula, the card reader and the microSD card – when you remove this section, be careful that the glass bed is not connected to the assembly, so it may fall and shatter (we don’t want that). The rest of the 3D printer is pretty much already pre-assembled, but there are some important parts to be added. Before attaching anything, I turned the pre-assembled part of the printer upside down and, as you can see, Longer used plastic feet which can (and should) be replaced with silicone ones. The plastic feet do absolutely nothing against jerks or shakes, while the rubber feet are great at absorbing some of the vibrations. It is better to stand higher temperatures and not easy to soften to reducing nozzle clogging, and this would increase printing quality. Bigger Print Volume
What’s great is that you can adjust your prints from the LCD display and not having to re-slice the model again as you would with other inexpensive 3D printers.
With Teflon or PTFE, you achieve higher temperatures and overall better printing results. The probability of the filament getting tangled or the nozzle clogging is also lower. TMC2208 Stepper Motors The LK5 Pro is very easy to assemble, set up, and use. The included software is very intuitive and explained very well to those who are new to 3D printing. The Longer LK5 Pro does have the same color display as the LK4 Pro and it’s still pretty good. It is touchscreen, so there are no buttons and it is usually very responsive with the exception of some areas where the tabs are too narrow – so I had to try two, three times to get the area right. Other than that, the LCD is fast and responsive. After powering on the 3D printer, the display will immediately show six tabs, the first is called Move and it is essentially allowing you to manually move the hotend around (you can also return it to home), while the second tab is the File. Here you can see all the available 3D models that can be printed. That’s only if you either have inserted a microSD card or have connected an external drive or computer to the USB port.
