LCD Is ready to plug and play.... I bought one of Prusa i3 from MakerFarm (8"), good communication but printer itself is very poorly designed and quality is also very bad. I bought UM and still isn't perfect... New Makerfarm Prusa i3 had serious flaws in design (like inaccurate Z end stop, too far Y end stop (bed can't hit it unless you print new part which will move it close to bed), very poby mike1986 - General Mendel Topics
Ok. Gear is working fine, bearings as well. I found out that everything is moving but no filament is extruding and stays in same spot for x seconds (sometimes it will jump on bolt, I can't also move it by hand..) For first few hours after assemble I had no issue with that... What should I check now ?by mike1986 - General
I checked it again. Now I have 3.02 - 2.92... Same problem :///, I tried different current on extruder (higher), I tried to make it sure that filament is free to go (I'm just trying to print holder), but looks that this printer can't print anything bigger, it will move X (20-30 pixels so whole print is useless) or will start loosing filament by jumping extruder :///by mike1986 - General
BTW, is it normal that I'm loosing all nuts ?? Every 1-2 prints most of nuts going off, even if they are tighten... For example I tightened nut on extruder bolt and again it went off (I can't use more force as it will stop rotating)... How do you deal with that ? Is it just something with my model or all 3D printers has that problem ? I have thread lock so I can add it, but I just think if thisby mike1986 - General

Ok I found that extruder just "jumping" and not passing filament to hot end... No clear reason for that as everything looks ok. Whole printer making a lot of noise but I can't find a reason why extruder is jumping :/// Any idea or tips ???by mike1986 - General
I can confirm that PVA worked... So far so good, Thanks guys !by mike1986 - General
PLA from Makerfarm, temp 185, nozzle 0.35, filament 0.3mm, print height 0.3mm... Speed 18mm/s, extruder filament ratio 1... I just start getting those after 2 meteres of new PLA filament.... What should I do ? I can't print anything with that problem :/// (wholes on bottom/top)...by mike1986 - General
I will try it then. So hair spray only for ABS ?by mike1986 - General
I have another big problem, I'm trying to print Octopus, I just added retraction (lift 1mm) but it seems that something is going wrong, printing head is bypassing Z end point (it stops on glass and on button) which causing of course problems with printing (nozzle is on glass)... I don't know why printer is bypassing it's end stop if that point should be full stop on axis without any exceptions..by mike1986 - General
As on images you can find that project start curling on legs side (bed with glass 60 degrees + hair spray, it start curling after around 1hour). Second problem is lack of connection between rounded edges and infill... It doesn't fill to the edge but leaving around 1-2mm... Third problem is awful rounded edges... Not sure why it can't print nice edges... I printed on 15mm/s on edges... Prusa iby mike1986 - General

Will it fit to Prusa i3 from MakerFarm ???by mike1986 - General
Technologies ? I won't compare Bitcoins to real currency because of big number of factors... But nothing emerging here... You could ask about selling printers for $ £ or any other currency... With new miners Bitcoin value will drop... By big D...by mike1986 - General
I'm looking for 3D printer which can print without any visible movement on any of axis. I saw that Replicator 2 had some updates on firmware and photos which they provided looks really good... From other hand there is only ABS and some problems with software and QC on Replicator2.... I found good price on Prusa 8" i3 but I can't find any macro photos of prints on highest quality...
