problem is from what I observed, the cuts arent made straight, so the edges that come together arent perpandicularby lyro - General
well I'm thinking about replacing my profiles too but then again, that's gonna be building the printer all over again, do you have any alternatives to aluminium sigma profiles ?by lyro - General
dimensions were okay, angles are 90 degrees too, that little wobble drove me crazy cuz I wanted to proceed to 100 micron prints and didn't want to see wobble on my prints so I replaced threaded rods with leadscrews. Screws turn superbly but when they are about to reach z0 the rod on heavier side starts acting weird, skipping turns etc.by lyro - General
so I can overpower the fact that they are not %100 parallel ? what way should I follow I'm lost tbhby lyro - General
think it like a limping table, 1 of the feet is not touching the ground while other 3 are, so I support one feet with few papers underneath, the bluesword) these are some of the prints I had with threaded rods, so I don't think my printer is dramatically askew. Do you still think my problem may be caused by the unequal feetby lyro - General
Hi there, I've built a printer few months ago and I've been experiencing problems non-stop. Nonetheless my machine does decent printing with a bit z wobble. I use 2 parallel rods for every axis. But angles of my frame aren't perpandicular in every connection due to poor cutting of the aluminium. Is it absolutely necessary to remove all my profiles and replace them ? what potential problems mightby lyro - General
Hi there, I have a diy 3d printer which is an i3 clone i assume, I use 2 motors to elevate the z-axis, I used to have 2 standard m8 threaded rods there and had a bit of wobble but worked fine. Decided to replace those with t8 Lead screws, When I auto-home my machine, one of the z motors is having hard time rotating near the micro-switch. Why might that be ?by lyro - General
threaded rods are fixed to motors with couplers and they make z motion happen,aside from that didn't understand what you meant by running freeby lyro - Printing
I'm printing with pla so I've been told I don't really need a heated bed, and I'm using that blue tape on the bed. I don't use a print cooling fan atm. does it have such a great effect on prints ? and one more question, I found tennis ball feet for printers on youtube and designed one for myself, do they contribute to overall qualityby lyro - Printing
Hi there, about a week ago I completed my custom made printer (I think it is a prusa clone or something like that), I made some configuration and started printing, when I print my 20mm test cube I can get about 19.99 x 19.98y and 20.01z so dimensions are pretty okay but I'm experiencing a weird thing on lower layers. these are some prints I've made, can illuminate me with what might be the prby lyro - Printing
Normally they are connected to m8 threaded rods, but I'm experimenting without connecting them to rods to avoid breaking the carrier of extruderby lyro - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
Hi there, I'm trying to build a 3d printer and I've completed the physical part, I wired my x,y, 2z and extruder steppers and tried them all. all worked fine but the z ones. I'm using ramps 1.4 so I had 2 sets of pins on the card, first I connected my motors that way. They didn't work whatever I did, so I decided to wire my motors in series, made them work, I tried to adjust the pot on the steppeby lyro - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
