Diary Log (5): "Printer upgrade"

Thursday 10th September 2020

My Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer that had the standard magnetic bed now has...

...a glass bed! A glass bed is much better than a magnetic bed because the magnetic bed allows for differences in the slope of the bed especially near the center of the bed, whereas a glass bed is perfectly flat so I only have to level the four corners of the printer ground to get the nozzle printing from the exactly right distance from the bed.

Also, there were frequent problems with this PLA filament product - the filaments kept on tangling with each other inside the rotating case. To fix this, I purchased a higher quality PLA filament product that specifically mentioned that tangling will not happen.

This product is the new PLA filament I purchased. I do not know yet whether or not the same problem would occur, but I have a positive feeling about this filament that it would not get tangled with each other. The answer to this question will be revealed on Saturday when I will be using the printer for making the structural case of my next maker project: a bluetooth speaker.
