Just don't let the printer print unattended...by Nadim - General
I bought my first printer in September 2016. If you look at the social blade stats for popular 3D printing related YouTube channels, you'll see that all of them had a massive increase in subscriber count, views and so on just after I bought my first printer. I don't think this is a coincidence. It's perfectly possible that my environment is fake/actors or a simulation and everything that happensby Nadim - General
Would this matter if the stepper is used in the extruder knowing that the speed is quite low? The reason I opened this topic is because when I was trying out the 1.7 amps stepper in the extruder, I got skipped steps at ~85% or lower of it's rated currently. If I set the current higher, it doesn't skip steps anymore but the stepper gets quite warm. I would guess warmer than 50 Celsius just by feby Nadim - General
Both are Nema 17 with the exact same dimensions(42mm*42mm*40mm). Stepper 1: Rated Current: 1.2 amps Rated Torque: 0.4 N-m Stepper 2: Rated Current: 1.7 amps Rated Torque: 0.4 N-m Does this mean that stepper 1 is as strong as stepper 2 and it's just more efficient? So Stepper 1 is just better and I should use it instead of stepper 2?by Nadim - General
Ok so M201 and M204 immediately take effect? Yes I do have to enter M500 to actually save it in eeprom so it persists after a restart. By the ripples I mean the overal surface effect. As you noticed, I also have some ringing issues. I know the ringing on the edges is a mechanical issues, but I didn't manage to eliminate it. I did tension the belt and reduced acceleration to 800 and jerk to 8 inby Nadim - General
Is it possible to change eeprom acceleration values mid-print through gcode commands M201 or M204? Or Do I have to restart the printer or the print for the changes to take effect? If so, is restarting the print sufficient or do I have to restart the printer itself? I want this because I want to see the effect of different acceleration values on the print without starting a new print for every vaby Nadim - General
The raspberry pi is already powered through it's micro USB port. When I switch on the printer CPU and connect the PI to it, the voltage regulator gets to hot to touch within seconds. I think I found out the culprit. It was the power adapter dat was powering the PI. I replaced the power adapter with a different one and now the voltage regulator functions normally. Both power adapters were 5 voltby Nadim - General
Hi, During some prints, my extruder motor makes a subtle buzzing noise that you can hear on the video: Now the noise is amplified a lot on the recording. It's not really that loud, but it's audible from 1.5 meters when the room is quite. I'm using Ramps 1.4 with A4988 drivers. The stepper's I max is 1.2 set the vref to 0.8. The noise only occurs during printing when the stepper is rotatingby Nadim - General
