  @gvviking Maybe start with the slicing software that comes with the printer and switch to a different one once you got your feet wet a bit.

  Hi.
  I have the 4Max pro. It works with the Other profile.
  But you have to set everything by yourself. That sucks!!

  @randal You have to create a custom printer if its not listed its the last option. You need to know your stuff like com port , baud rate etc for starters. Isn't there a slicer that came with the printer? they usually do like Cura or SLIC3R etc which IMO both are more powerful than MC - but if you like it - go for it

  Looks like your Nozzle hit something on the print seems the x axis. That can happen if a part of the print curls up and then hits the nozzle. It can also be caused by a belt that is way too loose. You seem to print with a lot of perimeters and PLA seems to like to curl up on overhangs when you do that. Its one of the reasons I personally prefer other materials over PLA try to print it with 3 perimeters an a 10% infill or switch to PETG or ABS or HIPS if your printer can handle it

  Get an Anycubic Chiron - we got 2 - its an animal. Big, 400x400x450, 24 V heated bed heats up quickly, out of the box good to print PLA, ABS, PETG, HIPS and some nylons like bridge. For the hotter stuff replace the ptfe tube with a capricorn one. With that it will do 255-260 reliably. How reliably 50kg+ of HIPS eacg reliably so far. We had 2 fails between the 2 of them so far both a broken wire - one on the print head thermistor - one on the bed thermistor. Both came with standard wires and now have been replaced with silicon covered high flex ones. We figured the x axis wire failed after moving back and forth about 3 million times and the bed one after about 5 million times. We print a lot of big stuff in HIPS so the printer gets a real workout. They might get 30-40 minutes break a day (just enough to change filament and let the build plate cool down to about 60C to pop the print off. Otherwise its 255 nozzle 105 bed all the time. Oh and I broke a hotend cross threading the nozzle when changing the nozzle. But that is hardly the printers fault. Compared to a Pulse less than 5% the downtime of the Pulse.

  I am not sure specifically which brush that is but that looks to be a regular brass brush you can get at a hardware store.
  Though, I would advise caution in using something like this with the machine powered up. If the heater cartridge cable comes loose and the brass touches the exposed wires, it can cause damage to your machine. I would advise only using this brush while the machine is disconnected from power.

  walmart, target etc any place that sells cameras. But get one 16gb or smaller as many printers cannot handle bigger card. if you get a bigger one you got to split it so the first partition is smaller 16 gb

  Hi! Thank you for replying. Else i have been just staring at all the forums
  The thing is, the printer has been working flawlessly for the past 6 years.
  I have even checked the installed firmware hex files and the comparisons show that all of these have been loaded successfully.
  Inference : the board is receiving the firmware.
  But it just doesnt get out of the bootloader mode.
  I even opened up the control unit, cleaned the board, checked for sticky buttons.. But nothing! I feel sad.

  Guess I will revisit that. The problem I had was it always wiped out the Volumetric E setting Plus I had to rename the exe to Slic3r

  If you did not run a PID tune when you installed the new hotend, this might be advantageous as well
