wow hipyo im so proud of you thank you for struggling and wasting over 30 dollars of fillament great work hipyo

There are different ways you could have approached this, but for someone who isn't as experienced with 3D printing, you did well.

Gotta love the life of a YouTuber. "I got this very expensive thing for free and don't know how to use it. I probably won't learn how to use it because I'm not super interested in it. "

I have printed multiple keyboard and I love them all. 3D printed plates are flexy and soft too, i have replaced some plates with printed ones in some of my other keyboards. I have even designed my own top mounted tkl to print and its one of my favorite boards.

Your z-height looked a bit too high on there, but overall, super solid work. Especially considering you're not super versed in 3D printing. The hardest part is starting and not knowing what you don't know or how to ask. One cool thing you could have done was use the 3D pen to fill in the seam and then take a soldering iron with a flat tip to melt the plastic into the seam and then sanded it smooth. That's what I do to bond stuff together when I don't want to use glue or get rid of seam lines.

Overall, it came out great. Parts warping can usually be solved by increasing the bed temperature a bit (i usually do 60-65 deg C for PLA) and for parts that take up a large surface area on the print bed I usually raft them in the slicer (where the print is on a "raft" of material). Now the 2 parts being floppy is simply just a matter of tolerancing your design to tailor the 3d printer, since not every printer is super precise and exact and tolerances vary from printer to printer. Not to mention that plastics shrink as they cool down. The more you'll print the more you'll get familiar with everything! If ya got any questions feel free to ask.

Good job Nola. You're doing great, Nola. Keep it up.

8:30 "like it feels thick enough that its not just like a cheap plastic case that you'd get on like a red dragon..."
*me, looks down on my red dragon keyboard that i actually spend a bunch of time modyfying for that tasty click*
me: "shhhh he didnt mean it like that"

Ok working with an ender as a full 3dprinting noob, hats off. They are very cpapble machines but theres a WHOLE bunch of what you need to do to make them work right. I'm like 90% sure it was temps. The lack of extrusion quality and TERRIBLE layer adhesion indicates you were not printing hot enough. Teaching Tech, Makers Muse, 3-d Printing Nerd ect all have great guides on how to dial in new printers.

yo hipyo, thank you for preventing me from buying a 3d printer. youve saved me easily thousands of dollars at this point from saying "so you dont have to"

Don't use glue, just clean the print bed properly with 99% isopropyl alcohol and ensure there are no draughts blowing near the printer (that's usually what causes warping).

Wow hipyo I'm so proud of you thank you for struggling and wasting over 30 dollars of filament, great work hipyo!

Hey Hipyo, a few things to note from the footage regarding printing: Make sure your bed is leveled correctly, if you dont have an ABL probe (auto bed leveling probe) then grab a thickness gauge (pretty cheap) and set you bed to be about .07mm from the nozzle (about the thickness of a standard sticky note). This should give you a nice first layer and is the first step towards successful printing. Next there is a technique for preventing curling on the corners called "mouse ears" and I highly suggest them for prints with sharp corners or large flat printing areas. Pusaslicer makes them really easy but you can make them in most other slicers too. Finally I suggest checking your room temperature, if the room is dramatically lower than the temp as you're printing it can exacerbate the conditions which cause print curling in the first place. My printer is an Ender 6 so its not dramatically different than yours in a number of ways and touching these things up got my printer going perfectly almost every time when I was struggling. Also clean your build plate, you shouldn't need anywhere near that much glue, too much can actually get in the way. Try using a little isopropyl to thin and evenly spread the glue rather than globbing it on across the whole bed.
