Better Supports, Wiring New Fans, IDEX Printing and More!

This Episodes Questions:

I'm planning to make an Iron man suit as a summer project, inspired by Frankly built, and I'm not sure what slicer has better support material, Cura or Prusaslicer.  Almost every print will need to have supports, so this is important.

Hello Guy, JJ, and Nathan,

I have a question about wiring as a result of adding dual 5015 fans to my Ender 3 monstrosity.

I like using crimps vs soldering and would like to add a second fan for part cooling, but it's been 20 years since tech school so my memory is fuzzy on best practices. 

How do I wire the second 5015 fan? Can I run 2 positive wires into 1 side of the crimp and a single positive wire back to the motherboard, and then the same with the negative side? 

I plan on using quick connects closer to the print head for ease of maintenance later. The slicing of the wires is planned be further away from the print head so there's less movement on the splice/combination of wires. 

Thanks for your help.

Hi, Recently upgraded to cr-10 smart pro I can get solid prints unless I use the front right side of the printer. I have leveled several times manual and automatic; still no luck. Any suggestions in what I should do?

Hey guys been listening for awhile and just listening to the recent episode and had some good recommendations. You seem to have about the sidewinder X2 and it's a good printer but I have had issues with it and had to move to klipper. Do you guys have the problem? The problem seems to be with Pausing and resuming prints (so can't do color changes) and if you'd lose power you can't resume. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I hope y'all are doing well! I started listening to the podcast a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it! I love hearing the advice y'all give to everyone about their printers. I actually had a question of my own. Nathan, I've seen every video you've made for the S1. I was wondering if there were any upgrades/mods you'd add to it now with the recent release of products in 2023 i.e Sonicpad, BTT Pad 7, and main boards?
