Yeah it takes any 3mm filament. It's just that 2.85 is a common diameter, e.g. Faberdashery filament is also 2.85mm. I have used many other diameters in my Ultimaker2.by probonic - General
One thing I find when using Faberdashery PLA with layer heights of 0.1 and 0.05mm is the wall going very rough sometimes, and also the filament going a bit "feathery", with the filament not coming out evenly it would seem. I am presuming this is down to the fact that it is pushing less filament than at higher layer heights. Have you ever had that? I have tried slowing perimeters right down butby probonic - Mendel90
Yeah "Save Page As" is the option you want in Firefox. It's called "Save As" in Chrome, and in IE, you choose "Save as" from the File menu. With IE you need to ensure you choose "Text File" as the file type and make sure the file has an ".stl" extension as it screws with the filename.by probonic - Mendel90
You can go to the stl file, click the "Raw" button at the top, and then right click and "Save As" (assuming the browser doesn't give you the opportunity to save it anyway).by probonic - Mendel90
Go to and there is a "Download ZIP" button in the right hand column at the bottom. This will give you a zip of the latest files.by probonic - Mendel90
Quotekarabas It's not enough. See video bang bang When on(click 0:07) - you see light in gap between caliper and X smooth rod When off (click 0:23)- no gap. As I understand - when on, bed becomes lower. When using bang-bang you will always get some movement - the only thing you can do is minimise the effect. The suggestions I mentioned for me greatly reduced the movement of the build plate. Evby probonic - Mendel90
Quoteneildarlow There has been a video posted on YouTube recently showing heated bed PCB flexing on a Mendel90. It looks like the poster was getting 0.05mm of flex at 70C with bang-bang heating. I have asked if he can re-test with PID and post his results. Yeah that was me I enabled PID yesterday and tried another print. I had actually already got rid of a lot of my banding doing the 3 thingsby probonic - Mendel90
I had a very similar problem to you. Here are things to try: - Make sure there are no drafts in the vicinity of the printer - Try putting the clips as close to the edges/corners as you possibly can - Make sure you always have the corrugated cardboard under the bed After doing all these things I got really good prints. Enabling PID for the bed improved them even more.by probonic - Mendel90
I would certainly second the Mendel90. Although I sourced a lot of the parts myself, I got the frame and printed parts off Chris (nophead). The design is first class, and after some dialling in I can now produce absolutely perfect parts. As Neil said, Chris provides absolutely excellent support and is of enormous help through everything. You wouldn't regret a Mendel90.by probonic - Mendel90
I am having a problem that I've been having a while with inconsistent walls. There hasn't really been an obvious pattern. But I've just noticed one of my test cubes has shown up a wavy pattern which begins quite close together at the bottom but getting wider apart the further up you get. Because it is not a consistent distance I am guessing this is not z-wobble. Does anyone have any idea whatby probonic - Printing
I believe Mavericks has a power saving feature which suspends programs when they are in the background. I'm pretty sure there's a way to tell it not to do that for certain programs. Not owning a Mac myself, I don't know exactly how to do that.by probonic - General
Flow and feed rates should always be the same.by probonic - Mendel90
Excellent. That has solved the issue nicely for me :-) For me the old bracket drooped at the fan end.by probonic - Mendel90
Interesting - I have version 2013.06 running in Linux. I had to change: rotate(a = 50, v = [0, 0, 1]) {difference() {basis(); bohrung1(); bohrung2(); bohrung3(); bohrung4(); bohrung5(); bohrung6(); translate([12,0,0]) bohrung6(); translate([24,0,0]) bohrung6(); translate([36,0,0]) bohrung6(); translate([48,0,0]) bohrung6(); bohrung7(); bohrung8();};}; to rotate(a = 50, v = [0, 0, 1]) {differeby probonic - Mendel90
That's a nice simple idea :-) Unfortunately OpenSCAD complains at me saying syntax error on line 1.by probonic - Mendel90
