Ormerod 2 Profile for Simplify3D

I have just purchased Simplify3D to use with my Ormerod 2.

Would anyone happen to have a profile for this printer that would work with Simplify3D or even just a list of the important settings needed?

Many thanks,


Brian

Ormerod1..fff here are my settings

As for the firmware config i just put it to RepRap

Hi Darathy,

Thanks for your prompt reply and the profile fff file.

Much appreciated.

Hi,

Here are some more Profiles. I am using an E3D v6 Head and a 0.4 Nozzle. Added my Firmware file and Profile for ABS and PLA.

Thanks. I will take a look at them for comparison especially speed settings.

@Brian Be aware that these files are for a 0.4mm nozzle. If you want to use them you have to adjust the nozzle size to 0.5mm.

Thanks guys,

Profiles much appreciated.

Treito I take your point about nozzle size, I will change it to 0.5

Forgive the thread hijack but the timing is quite useful!

Recently I stumbled into massive problems with Slic3r and off the back of many recommendations, I plumped for Simplify3D to marry up with my Ormerod 2.

I've tried the profiles linked above but none of them work, the behaviour of the device is rather strange.
- The extruder motor is never driven
- The X/Y operations are very quick and, from what I can see, it seems to be doing the very outer perimeters but nothing else - and very quickly too (too quick I'd say). So even if the extruder was working, there's no way this is printing out the design correctly, it's stepping up through the layers far too quickly.

Printer is a standard Ormerod 2, running the 078c firmware dated 18/09/2014. config.g attached, should it matter.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi brumster,

You should really upgrade your firmware, 0.78 is quite old nowadays. You can either use RRP's official 1.09 firmware or (what I'd recommend because of dc42's excellent new movement code and other improvements) my latest firmware here. Just be aware that you need to adjust a few things once you've flashed it:

1) Add the M574 codes and replace the lines containing M201, M203 and M566 from here: [github.com]
2) Remove all files from /www on your microSD card and download a copy of my latest web interface from here: [github.com] (note you can use "Download ZIP" on the right side). Extract all files to this directory.

You can find instructions on how to flash the firmware here: [reprappro.com]

Cool, ok, I'll give it a go. I was loathe to change the firmware as it's just been reliable and you get into a comfort zone - also it seems to be my perception that reprap have dropped development on the firmware and it's now taken up by various members of the community, but I don't see much by way of clearly marked "stable" releases.... and I hate being on the cutting edge ;-)

What have you done to the dc42 firmware in your branch?

Anyway, I'll get started with bossac and let you know how I get on ;-)

Holy crap, the web interface has moved on a bit (thank goodness)!!! Uploads finally at a sensible speed, yay!

Ok, I'm up and running, and we seem to be looking good now. Tried a quick test print generated out of Simplify3D without filament and it all looked to be doing the right thing now. I'll load it up now and start the "proper job" and confirm back with you in a short while.

Fingers crossed it's sorted...

EDIT: Update

Ok, it seems to be a lot better than it was. It's printing now with Simplify3D-generated code. There are some curious/worrying pauses during the print, mind you, at some odd points in time - seems to be no reason for it, it just stops half-way through a layer - has a think for a few seconds - then carries on.... but the resulting 'seepage' is making the print slightly messy. Maybe I need to fiddle with Simplify3D a little. I'll try an old Slic3r-generated file just to make sure it's not the firmware... I assume it's the G-code telling it to pause rather than the firmware just stopping and... dunno... contemplating it's existence ?

Thanks for your help ;-) much appreciated... I may be back with further questions

Hello,

I am using a CTC dual extrusion 3D Printer. I just got simplify3d but I am having an issue with the dual extrusion profiles. Does someone have the file for flashforge dual or a makerbot 2? My printer is basically a flashforge printer clone. Currently I do not see any options where I can set it up. I am missing flashforge from the selections.

I have contacted their support about this but 5 days have gone by and I have heard nothing back.

Thank you.

this is the one for makerbot replicator 2x
