LK5 Pro

I’m in the same boat sorta, I’ve had a longer lk5 pro for years but I’m tired of fixing and fussing with it. It’s every other print I gotta spend 3hrs debugging something. I may be begrudgingly spending more than I wanted and go with Snapmaker or Bambu.

I think that's the same one I have. I got the orbiter v1.5 a few years back and designed a mount. It's not great but it works. I use it mostly for TPU now and it is fantastic. I also upgraded to dual z screws. The model is here

Hey how is it going? So i scaled it to fit the 1/18 WOH figures. I would have to look back through my files but i believe it was around 220% of the original file. Then i had to break it up to print. Now mind you, this was when i first got into printing and was using the Longer LK5 Pro.I'm sure with

I miss my longer lk5 pro but man I had to work on that thing constantly to get decent prints

Just because it had it from the factory doesn't mean it's the right or only way. A video I watched recently made me think. Our biggest flaw as makers is the thinking that a company knows better than we do and that the decisions they made in the design or implementation of a product is the only way.

There are some spool covers available in thingi/makersworld/printables/etc. for the elegoo carbon 2, (I didnt read the whole thread but I never saw your exact printer mentioned, just assumed) that snap amd magnet to the side of your printer and looks pretty decent. They allow space for you to be abl

Of course! I got mine used in basically unknown condition in a lot of 3 other printers for $150. I cleaned it up, did a full nut and bolt check, cleared the nozzle, replaced the Bowden tube and it’s been a great lil printer. What’s funny and odd though, is one of the other printers is a Longer LK5 P

Personally, I got a longer LK5 pro on ebay for 130 bucks. It prints my head bases perfectly since it's 300×300×400. I recommend it but it doesn't connect to the internet if that's something you wanna do

Heat to 230c (assuming it’s just PLA), use a pair of snips and just slowly and gently chip away. Worst case scenario you need to get a new hotend/nozzle combo (not that bad) just be patient with it. If it doesn’t move don’t force it. Had to do this with a Longer LK5 Pro and thankfully nothing needed

Not certain how to attach a file in reddit, but I copied and pasted it for you. It would not let me put the entire thing in one post, so I put it in parts. Note, that the posts are listed backwards. Also I upgraded the extruder motor to a thinner lighter motor so you will need to run the extruder ca
