Maxing print speed

Having upgraded my hot-end to the Unicorn, I'd like to play with the settings to get the maximum speed with reasonable quality. I'm thinking about taking parameters in turn and increasing them until failure. Is this a reasonable approach? If so, in what order would you recommend tweaking parameters?

Blown amd1117 3.3v voltage regulator

Hey guys, Ive got a broken V3KE I'm trying to fix and the 3.3v voltage regulator looks like it's no good... Anyone dealt with this before?

It was coming up with abnormal nozzle temperature, I tried flashing the firmware a couple of times and now it's coming up with communication error 2000 and the light on the main board no longer lights up

piece coming loose from the table

Guys, I need some help with my Ender 3 V3 KE. I print parts normally with it, the first layer is usually perfect, this is with parts that take a maximum of 3-4 hours to print. However, when I print more vertical parts with a longer printing time, like the one in the image which is like a tower with a container underneath and took 10 hours, the edges start to peel off the bed. My bed is the original factory bed for the Ender 3 V3 KE, I think it's called PEI, and the temperature is set to 70°C. There are two images, the container was printed in one batch and the tower in another. The goal is to put magnets in these holes to make a removable attachment.

How to update firmware, help-script, mainsail, etc?

I installed the Creality Helper Script and setup Mainsail about a year and half ago. Since then, I haven't updated its firmware and I see a bunch of things to update in the Update Manager panel in Mainsail.

Is it safe to update everything? Is there any specific order I should follow to update firmware, Mainsail, Moonraker, helper-script?

Height alignment module?

Hi guys, I posted before about having a blown voltage regulator IC on my motherboard.. well I've desoldered the chip and soldered some wires to the test points so I can inject 3.3v with a bench power supply and it seems that my motherboard isn't completely blown!

However when I have the "height" plug connected it's drawing 5 amps.. a googling tells me that this is for the "height alignment module"... So is that just the CR touch sensor or is there more to it than that?

Hotend/Nozzle upgrade options

I'm looking to upgrade my hotend/nozzle and I'd like to know what the best options are for the 3v3 KE. The only two I've heard of are the Creality Unicorn and Microswiss.

I can't find any good information on the Unicorn -- is it compatible with the KE? The nozzle is much longer than the KE's stock nozzles, which implies that you need a new hotend to go with it?

What is thing called and how can I get a replacement?

I broke this plastic connector on my Ender 3 V3 KE. It had holes for two pins that slide through it. Does anyone know what it is called and where I can get a replacement.

Auto nivelamento quente ou frio

Recentemente estou tentado a usar root para melhorar as calibrações da minha impressora. E testei uma coisa hoje, o auto nivelamento com a mesa quente, e notei que a mesa está melhor nivelada quente do que fria. Porque? Devemos usar esse recurso com a mesa quente?

brand new to 3d printing

I just picked up a 3v3ke at our community garage sale for $10 because it was "broken."
Turns out it was just the voltage selector switch. What are some of the best youtube tutorials that will get me up to speed on the basics of this printer? Thanks you!!

Problemas de auto nivelación

Soy nuevo en la impresión 3D y no se como solucionar esto. Tengo una Ender 3 v3 KE.

Trato de imprimir un archivo grande, usa la mayoría de la cama caliente y el lado derecho se despega al hacer las primeras líneas de base. Estoy usando PLA a 200°C, cama a 60°C y ventilador al 100%, velocidad a 300 mm/s.

Al hacer la nivelación automática, reconoce que el lado derecho tiene una compensación mayor al resto de la cama pero no se como corregirla.

Dejo imagen de los datos.

Agradecería cualquier información. Gracias por leerme.

Sudden layer shift after two perfect weeks with zero troubles

Had my KE for around two weeks, probably had it running for a near week. Everything before this has been FLAWLESS. Like seriously, nothing minor just pure incredibleness in wow of this technology(and the speed!!) and then suddenly this print was ruined by layer shift.

Curious on what should come next, I'm down low on this fillament and don't want to get more, so not sure if I'm safe to just print again and this was a freak?

Or else, curious what could've suddenly gone awry that I can troubleshoot...

For those curious, this is generic Silk PLA, but I've adjusted temperature accordingly and.. don't think that silk pla would cause such a dramatic layer shift. Additionally, also just mounted a camera on the z axis today from a print I found, but also don't think that would casue this...

Extruder Cover Stl?

Does anyone have a good extruder cover for the Ender 3 V3 KE that is better than the original? Looks would be cool too lol

Very loud stepper motors. Any solution?

They're not loud all the time, just at some specific speeds like in the video when it's making solid bottom layers

Fuzzy

Hey, my prints recently got fuzzy, any idea what gone wrong?

I've checked all bolts, belts. Everything seems to be good. I've also done flow rate calibration.

Petg Sunlu

240°C bed 80°C

Layer height 0.1

Speed 200-300mm/s

I did another print, is like warping up on edges and corners.

Trouble with bed and Weird sound y axis / Sonido raro en el eje Y y la cama no está alineada

This strange sound, its like the program does not know when to stop

Also an awful nivelation

El sonido es como si se chocará con el borde y rebota, porque no sabe cuando parar, tambien tengo una nivelation horrible

Existe la boquilla 0.2 para la v3 ke?

Estoy buscando en mercado libre y mercado libre internacional y no logro encontrar una que sirva. Compré una para las ender 3 pero es más corta y tuve fugas por la rosca. Necesito conseguir una 0.2 para la v3 ke. O quizá alguien venda.

Root?

Bom dia. Tenho buscado ativamente formas de melhorar minhas impressões, e uma das coisas mais recorrentes é o root. minha dúvida é: porque fazer root? quais benefícios e prejuízos isso pode causar? tenho uma melhora significativa com root?

atualmente uso o Creality Print e faço minhas próprias calibrações, o root pode me dar opções melhores?
