Re: Calibration is driving me absolutely nuts, simple question. (Pics) - 12 years ago

Are you sure your nozzle size is set correctly in your slicer? Double check it.

Re: Support layers don't stop when using raft or "Enforce support for first:" - 12 years ago

As far as I can tell, support is all jacked up in slic3r right now. It also ignores the overhang threshold angle.

Re: Is this due to Z wobble? - 12 years ago

I picked up some springs from the hardware store for the bed on my makerfarm i3. In theory you shouldn't need them, but this printer being made out of wood vs aluminum tends to not be perfectly square, and it expands and contracts a good amount as well.

Re: DLP 3dprinter projector group buy - 12 years ago

I guess I don't follow. what good is it without a bulb?

Re: pulling my hair out over slic3r .9.10 support material - 12 years ago

No, slicer support settings are very broken right now. Not only does the "overhang threshold" not work, but the "enforce support for the first" option doesn't work either. Looks like you found another bug with it.

Re: Help! I hate my extruder! - 12 years ago

Would you care to share the resolution for future readers who may come across this thread with a similar problem?

Re: what is ithis - skipping outline ? - 12 years ago

One thing that has helped me is settin up my printer on my coffe table. Put it on a towel or something to dampen sounds a bit and print away while you watch TV/internet/whatever, that way you will be able to "catch it in the act" and hopefully resolve the issue.

Re: switching from resistor to heater cartridge - 12 years ago

The block will have too low of a resistance.

Cubex to stl - 12 years ago

I recently stumbled across this model, and I'd love to be able to print it, however I've discovered its in a proprietary "cubex" format. Has anyone been able to convert these to an STL? I think 3D printed shoes are a cool idea, but the 2 or 3 on thingiverse aren't very nice looking

Re: Printing Tin??? - 12 years ago

I'm tempted to try it and see what happens. no idea where I'd buy 3mm tin rod though.

Re: Fan size on G3D Ramps-cooling plate - 12 years ago

I'd really recommend just using 1 larger fan rather than 2 small ones. You will get much lower noise at the same airflow.

Re: Corners curling up on first layer - 12 years ago

Is it ABS? You need to hit the bed with some hairspray, then heat it to 110C

Re: Strange Behavior - Panelmax (Ultipanel) w/ Ramps 1.4 / Marlin - 12 years ago

Any luck with this problem? I'm experiencing a very similar issue.

Re: Panel Showing "FR120%"... Huh? - 12 years ago

When you turn the dial while its printing it will increase and decrease the speed that its printing at. It should be 100% by default. Are you sure you're not turning the knob after the print has started?

Re: Printer misaligned each layer z - 12 years ago

To me it looks like your X and/or Y is missing steps. Are the drivers turned up high enough? are they cool? are your belts reasonably tight? Are your pulleys slipping on the stepper shafts? Just a few things to double check.

Re: Mounting my linear bearings a little different - 12 years ago

Looks like you're on a budget, but it might be worth the 2 or 3 bucks that a small square of sheet glass would cost from the hardware store. I'd be worried about the laminate working as a build platform since its not really flat or solid enough.

Re: ABS Heated Bed Warping - 12 years ago

Have you calibrated your Esteps yet?

Re: Max temp error - 12 years ago

Yes. However, upon further research it looks like changing the pid settings in the configuration.h might not have actually changed them. I just manually entered them then issued M500. Printing a large item now, we will see if that makes a difference.

Max temp error - 12 years ago

If anyone could help me with this issue, I'd appreciate it - When I print, theres about a 25% chance that at some point the hot end will just start to rise in temp and cause me to hit max temp at 240C. I've run the PID tuning and adjusted the numbers in the firmware to try to get more stable temps, but no difference. It seems to happen at a variety of print speeds, and makes printing large obje

Seems like it takes more than that:
