Creality – Ender 3 Max Neo, Halot Sky & Prusa

Tech | Tools – Software Support

Let’s start with the most important stuff, the upgrade includes a new Board and Slicer Downloads. For future use and for those who need software support, especially those of you who are using a Creality Ender 3 Max Neo 3D Printer.

Additionally, If you who have Creality products, and are printing with the Ender series, you may require the following software below. Also, to note, the drivers/software have already been used in different (various) stages of the rebuild and/or upgrade process: Ender Build articles, Series 2, Ender TPU Upgrade.

Here is the list of Creality and Prusa Board, Software and Slicer Downloads:

Creality Halot Sky – Firmware or Slicing (bottom) – https://www.creality.com/pages/download-halot-sky?spm=..page_1934481.products_display_1.1&spm_prev=..index.header_1.1
Ender 3 – Neo Max – Firmware – https://www.creality.com/pages/download-ender-3-max-neo?spm=..product_3b7a3c8a-7861-4186-9818-614e8eb14170.nav_link_store_1.1&spm_prev=..page_1967279.products_display_1.1

Also, included some of Prusa’s wearz; Board and Slicer Downloads:
Prusa I3 MK3S+ Kit – Firmware, Drivers and more. Prusa has all the goods on their printers, accessories and/or printer kits.

Finally, don’t forget to check back from time to time (I check quarterly for updates, which might be over done). The sooner the better when it comes to some of these printers. Not so much with the print software, I’ve only had luck with the original software for the latest build. Again, not sure why that is, but, it the current course of action so that the prints have uniformity. Cheers.

Filament Challenges and More

Print Plate Surface Adhesion and Heating Issues

3D Printer Adhesion Issues with PLA and TPU

Lab Work – Ender Issues Defined

A few more weeks of Ender issues…

Ender Filament and Adhesion Issues, are causing a delay in the TPU Neo Max upgrade progress. I will be sharing more Ender ‘lite’ issues, as we continue the TPU trial and face filament challenges. The filament change was primarily for lab work on bait designs and future locking mechanisms where TPU will be more appropriate. Despite this tangent, core printing has not ceased, I am still facing challenges with PLA.

Ender Filament and Adhesion Issues

There are countless issues that seem infinite at the moment. Everything from Creality Software to Ultimaker Cura, Sonic Pad issues, filament running temp, and new surface temperature problems… we have a lot of cover. I will break these down into 2 or 3 new posts over the next week. We will also revisit surface adhesion. Surface adhesion and surface temperature seem to be causing most of the issues on the Ender Max Neo. I must admit, tinkering doesn’t always result in perfect prints, even 60% to 80% of the time. I won’t argue, I’ll just focus on testing… the more runs, the better chance we have of increasing that 60% likelihood of successful prints.

Pictures will follow, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures will be shared to specifically cover thickness, fragility and test prints. Let’s get to printing!
