This is my thread for my Gen 3 Mark VI Master Chief build (Im going to be using MoeSizzlac's 3D print files)

I have already printed and bought gloves, would have helmet printed if my printer base wasnt warped. New build base is coming in thursday.

Ill keep this updated with my progress looking forward to talking and sharing my progress to all of you

Most likely a dark green, im considering making a cel shaded paint job bc theres already a lot of chief builds out there but im not 100% on that, so as of now most likely just a matte olive green.

Thank you! They were only like 9 bucks on amazon and they printed really well

Turns out it wasnt a print base issue, it was a nozzle issue. I wish i wouldve tried that before i blew 35 bucks on a new base. Womp womp, fixed tho : )

 

[marinesniper]

We all learned the same lesson at some point but good to hear you are able to get it fixed

Hey, at least you didn't replace your entire hotend before realizing it was just a nozzle issue like someone (me, I'm the dummy who did that).

Still a bit of printer problems, as soon as I get these worked out itll be back on that grind. Happy new years everyone!

We've all been there with printer issues. It's taken a while myself to get all the settings figured out for mine. I've gotten new nozzles, a new glass build plate, used binder clips to hold the textured plate on, had to change the plate temps around, nozzle temps, new tube thing for the filament to go through, and many many many bed adjustments. Stick with it, its all worth it!

Cant figure out whats wrong... installed a new extruder and when im printing the gear keeps popping and the print comes out with awful quality. Helmet will be printed when I can figure out whats going on lol

I had that problem once. The nozzle kept getting clogged and I couldn’t figure out why. Turns out, the Bowden tube wasn’t getting pushed snugly into its little hole, and would let filament get pushed into the gap and block itself. I used this little trick: after you unclog the nozzle, loosen the nozzle by a quarter turn and then push the Bowden tube all the way in. Then, retighten the nozzle. This makes sure that the Bowden tube is pushed all the way up against the nozzle, and will hopefully help stop the nozzle from clogging.

Of course, the extruded gear can pop for a lot of reasons, that issue above just happened to be my problem.

Good job

 

[Clarkusmc]

as N8TEBB said, check to see if the bowden tube is out of limits. I had problems with the tube and filament not being able to push out. I ended up ordering a whole new tube to replace my old one.

thanks, i just found out there was a nasty clog in my printer and i fixed that ez pz : ) it feels like i cant push my bowden tube in any deeper so i think its good, thank you !
