So i think i made a boo boo, started to print a new gear for my rear wiper motor when all of a sudden it stopped and turned off - wtf. Turned it back on and the display was lit but no text showing and i found that i had badly placed a bull dog clip and the print bed was jammed. Removed the clip but no change on the display, checked all the wires and connections nothing out of place.
Fuse on the mainboard didn't blow and everything has power so possibly the firmware has died ?
Luckily i can print via USB cable so don't even need the display.Quote:

Ender 3, works fine printing direct from the laptop and saves stuffing around with the SD card.Quote:

I take it that you can get files for different things off the internet, but how difficult is it to digitally scan something?
You need a 3D scanner but these are getting cheaper , can also design using a 3D modelling program.Quote:

I haven't explored this yet, but thought it may interest the 3D mob.
