Ender 3 Pro - an unclogging story

 

For many years I did prints without any problem, then recently, while trying some new filaments, I started to experience clogging events, one really bad.

Hopefully these notes can help to know what to do in a clog event.

Ender 3 Pro - PID tuning

Normally the printer is coming with already stored some calibration information.

One of them is the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller for the temperature of the hot end and the bed.

It is necessary to execute the PID in case sensors are changed or just to be sure everything is OK.  

Repairs - ASUS TUF FC705G fan replacement

Notes about the replacement of both fans (CPU/GPU) to an Game computer ASUS TUF FX705G.

The PC is a game laptop and fans are really a necessity to dissipate the heat generated by the CPU and the embedded GPU.
When they fails (not if, when) the system become quite unusable, noisy and incredibly hot even on the keyboard.
