Hi So what site do we use to get stl files that you like to print ? Thanksby scubi - General
Hi Guys Which is the latest version of Marlin to use at the moment. I built a 3D printer same style as the Prusa printers. Thanks Vaughanby scubi - Firmware - Marlin
Hi Guys In the section " Things I've like " , is there way to sort on the Date of when I Liked the item. I click on like and a day later I have to go through "Like" section to find it because it saves it in the order the item was created. I want to see the items i recently liked . Also, is it possible see more items on one page ? Thanks Vaughanby scubi - General
Hi, I would appreciate the help. I am looking for the STL files for the Top & Bottom Mounts of the Z Axis. The one's I am looking for make the Z axis stick out further from the frame. The normal one's are inline with the frame. These allow your X Carriage to move further out on each side of the X axis. Thanksby scubi - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi Guys I created a simple Box in 123D design. I then imported the box and another STL file into Meshmixer to combine the two objects. When I Boolean Union the two objects to make one object to print, the Box comes out very bad. The edges are not straight, they get flattened etc Looks like the edges have been cut off. Looks terrible. What could I be doing incorrect not get clean part. Thanks Vby scubi - 3D Design tools
Hi Has anyone replaced their Threaded rods on Mendel90 with Lead screws ? Thanks Vaughanby scubi - Mendel90
Hi Smerrett79, Thanks I appreciate it. I do what you say, run it from the website. I will better that way. Just not too sure how to split the parts in Netfabb. What menu do I use to split the Parts in Netfabb ? Thanksby scubi - Smart_Rap
Hi Guys, Please could you help me. I have downloaded the SmartRapCore files from Github and opened the source files with OpenScad. I make the changes to the sizes etc and then Render the files. However when I click on export to STL file , I get the full printer as a stl file. It show the frame & rods in the stl file. I want just the printed parts. I don't know OpenScad and like to know howby scubi - Smart_Rap
Hi Guys Was thinking of replacing the M8 Threaded rods ( Z axis ) with Lead screws. Anyone know of the STL conversion files so that I can change to Lead screws. I would appreciate the help, thanks Vaughanby scubi - Mendel90
Hi Guys I am trying to print a bottle and its coming out taller than the stl size. I am using Repetier Host / CuraEngine. I look at the Analysis tab and it says the Z axis is 138mm and when the bottle is finished printing it comes out at 154mm high. I double check the height in 123D and the bottle is 138mm. I have checked that I have NOT scaled it I print other parts and they come out to the corby scubi - General
Hi Guys I am the process of building the Smartrapcore printer with square Aluminum ( 19.07mm ) tube. I was wonder if anyone is using a Greg's wade extruder with their Smartrapcore because I read that Flexible filament does not do well with the Bowden extruder ? I would appreciate your advice and which extruder I can use. Thanks Vaughanby scubi - CoreXY Machines
Hi Guys Do you know if its possible to have Sili3r or Cura to be able to print the first 30 or so layers at one speed and the rest at another speed ? Thanksby scubi - General
Hi Guys I have imported a STL file into 123D and highlighted the whole object and want to extrude out on side longer. I select the tool , however 123D does not allow me to select the one side that I want to extrude. Do i have to convert the STL file before I can do any work on it in 123 design ? If I go the Primitives it works , but not on my STL file ? Thanksby scubi - 3D Design tools
Hi Thank you much appreciate , going to help alot.by scubi - Mendel90
Hi Please may I have a copy of your stl file , thanks. I would work well. Great idea well done Thanks Vaughanby scubi - Mendel90
Hi I know that if I want to move a axis to a postion I use : G1 z8 and it will go to the position 8mm ( Mendel90 ) from the bed. However how can I move an axis 100mm in distance and not absolute postion. I want to measure the correct distance my axis are moving. I know I can use Pronterface dials. Thanksby scubi - General
Hi Are you guys going to upgrade to windows 10. Wonder if it will cause problems with some of our 3D printing software we use. Whats your thoughtsby scubi - General
Hi Guys, I use a a glass plate & and aluminum plate. The problem I have at the moment is that the aluminum plate is 1mm thicker than the glass. Where can I change the Z offset in Repetier Host. Slic3r you can use the Z offset to to accommodate your change in plate. Thanksby scubi - Repetier
Hi Frank, If I download the new version v1.5.4 will it automatically update my v1.5.3 & also update the CuraEngine ? Thanksby scubi - Repetier
Hi Frank That most defiantly makes sense. Do you know from PC how I can raise my z axis a small amount say 0.01 mm if I see it printing to low or is that not best practice. Thanksby scubi - Repetier
Hi I was wondering if anyone changes filament by cutting the first filament off close to the hobbed bolt and then adding the new filament. Manually pushing the old filament down and then the new filament. The reason I ask is I am afraid everytime that when I pull out the old filament , some of the heated filament will come off in the heat break and go solid. ( E3D v6 ). I know this is major missby scubi - General
Hi When something is printing, the numbers on the z axis is not available when you move your curse over the dial. In the past could click on 0.01 mm to move my hotend up etc. I have it set in expert mode and still nothing on the dials. Thanksby scubi - Repetier
Hi Guys So guys I can supply 5volts to the Arduino and it will be ok ? . I have a small power supply that you can set to 5 volts, I plug that into the Arduino board. Thanksby scubi - Controllers
Hi Guys I have installed a RepRap discount full graphics controller onto my Ramps 1.4 & printing, however when I remove the USB cable from the Arduino, my printer stops. What have I done wrong that I have to still have the USB cable from the PC to keep it it powered ? I have a bought power supply of 29amps ( Silver one ), NOT a PC power supply. Please let me know what I have probably doneby scubi - Controllers
Hi Sorted it out and got it working but now have another problem, the contrast is so bad you can hardly see anything. I try change it on the controller but nothing happens. Any advise. Thanksby scubi - General
Hi I have bought the RepRap Full Graphics controller and trying to get Marlin to recognize it. I have added u8glib added into arduino's libraries and restarted the Ramps 1.4 Baord. When I uncomment the Line " LCD and SD support, the " SD " turns red. I also uncomment #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER Then I try Verify I get an error " LCD does not name type " Not sure whyby scubi - General
Now that is an awesome idea. Thanksby scubi - General
Hi Well I was not talking about trouble shooting. I was talking about judging your prints as they print and adjusting the temperature. Things to identify. I thought this was the idea of the forum for like minded people to help others or want to help others.by scubi - General
