Re: print warping midprint - 8 years ago

Quoteanvoice There's a number of options. You can turn cooling off in the slicing software (at least in Slic3r). You can modify the gcode files directly to turn the fan on and off. Or you can send M107 (fan off) to the printer to turn the fan off. M106 will turn it back on. If you want to go the Slic3r route, there's a "Filament Settings" tab, there click the "Cooling" icon, which will let you a

gcode please help - 8 years ago

I am really bad at GCODE. REALLY bad. So I need help to set my heat bed to 70 C, then wait 5 mins, then to 60 C, then wait 5 mins, then to 50 C, 5 mins etc. until I get to 20 C. It would be put in the box of after print gcode stuff at the last page of slic3r. Can anyone help me and write this stuff out or just give me the line of 70C wait 5mins, I can figure the rest out by myself Thx.

Re: print warping midprint - 8 years ago

I turned my fan off for the rest half of the print, went fine. There`s a part at the tip that has a BIT of bridging, which made it go to like 250 power, and then the rest of the head warped so bad even superglue only half fixes it. Is there a way to get the fan off AFTER you bridge? And is there a way to just completely disable the fan short of taking out the wires? I`m talking about in the slici

print warping midprint - 8 years ago

I have a cooling fan on my extruder. I am printing a pillar like shape, and i have noticed that my fan points at my right bottom corner the most, and there are little ``warping`` corners there, im sure it is because of the fan, because all the other corners are fine. Printing at 215 C, no bed problems. How can i fix this, i have reduced nozzle to 205 but not much improvement... I am using pla. C

Re: Cold Bed & PLA: Kapton or Blue Tape - 8 years ago

I am printing on blue tape, with 80 degree C to 75 C, I wipe the tape with isopropyl alchohol (med stuff, alchohol swab). i used to have problems getting stuff to stick on, now im having probs getting them off lmfao. im so happy i can print without worries now. idk how it will work at 20 C, but i think it will work. I heated the bed first and wiped, if it makes a difference. Printing with pla

Re: Borosilicate glass - 8 years ago

For all that r printing with blue painters, i have found the magic solution: take an alchohol swab -- i used antiseptic isopropyl-- the medical one-- and wiped my tape, the print stuck on se well that i couldnt get it off without taking off the print. proud to say no longer having warping issues!!! thanks u all for ur patience, especially dentist, who i have seem to exasperated

Quoteanvoice QuoteHedgehog im using the one the printer came with, never noticed it before Then it's likely either a connection or electronics problem. Can't tell you much more without any additional info. thanks, i will check all my wiring and get back. but must bake time for wiring first, have lots of hwk right now these days

Re: Borosilicate glass - 8 years ago

I want to clip glass on my aluminum because I'm trying something like elmers glue or aquanet sprat paint. Im printing with pla, really, so is it ok if i clip to aluminum? like will the heat go through?

Re: Borosilicate glass - 8 years ago

Quoteanvoice Glass is a poor conductor of heat, but it does conduct it to some degree (like all other materials). Yes, it does make sense to get the borosilicate, because that's the kind that resists extreme heating/cooling better, and a glass bed is probably the simplest way to go in general. so is it ok if i just clip the glass to my aluminum bed?

I'm thinking about purchasing a 200 x 220 x 3or4 borosilicate glass for a bed, I want to know if it conducts heat? Because a lot of the "deals" include heated beds. thx

Re: Prints warping and coming off bed - 8 years ago

Quoteanvoice Wise choice to not print until you fix that. What gauge wire are you using? There could be an electronics problem somewhere that's causing too much current draw, definitely don't leave it on and unattended. im using the one the printer came with, never noticed it before

Re: Prints warping and coming off bed - 8 years ago

The problem is my prints warp, so i cannot lay a big flat side on the bed. I am starting to doubt the filament quality (not even 90% sure yet though), it sticks for a while, then comes off. I will look into the Z step. I cannot print until i fix my melting wire problem.... Im out of ideas. checking my wiring once more.

Prints warping and coming off bed - 8 years ago

I am currently using blue painters tape (3M) and a 60 degree C heating bed, which I have found gives best results. I have read online that painters tape is best without heating, but it just won't adhere! I am trying to regulate my ambient temp at around 25. I am currently trying to print square pillars to support my PLA filament roll, and since it has to be tall, I have found that the nozzle sort
