RE: I'm Back With New Indoor Gardening Content!

It took me about 8 months of troubleshooting and lots of upgrades to get this thing working correctly.
Maybe I'll put together a post on my 3d printing alt outlining all of the problems I found and the fixes that worked for me.
Everything from motherboard over-voltages to hot end modification, to bed plate spring and extruder upgrades. I spent maybe 300 dollars in upgrades alone, not to mention printing many upgrades too.
In some ways the Ender 3 V2 does a disservice to beginners, because one thing that we cannot be lacking in with an Ender is troubleshooting skills lol.

my bowden tube is messed up after I trimmed it. You gotta be a miracle worker to get a 100% straight cut on these!

I bought a bowden tube cutter for this, I bet there's printable versions utilizing a razor blade insert, never thought it when I purchased one lol.

I use cura too, and depending on which version mobo you have, you'll want to keep those travel moves under 50 mm/s, stock settings are like 150 and will cause voltage spikes in the shitty motherboard, causing further issues in the print. It probably preserves the motors to print slower speeds too.

This photo might put it into perspective a little.. lol
