Printers
We've sort of standardized on Creality printers. This isn't by policy, but Creality's printers are generally pretty decent and inexpensive compared to other brands.
- Creality Ender 5 S1 (with Sonic Pad and enclosure)
- Creality Ender 5 (with BLTouch)
- Creality Ender 3 Pro (× 2)
We also have several other printers that need some amount of T.L.C. before they're usable. We may be willing to let these go to a good home if anyone were to ask nicely enough.
Set up BLTouch in Cura
Our Ender 5 has a BLTouch bed probe installed which needs to be enabled in the printer profile in Cura. After adding the Ender 5 printer, open the machine settings. After the G28 command, add a G29 to enable the bed probe at the start of each print.
