Re: Large build plate ideas please. - 12 years ago
I think your going to get stability problems, if this is your frame or are you going to connect this with your y-axis frame, with a diagonal rod?by Kirschner3D - General Mendel Topics
Re: Large build plate ideas please. - 12 years ago
yeah we had the problem that extending our y-axis mad the 8mm rod bend in the middle, also because of the weight of the bed itself, so we are using 12mm rods now instead of 8mm and find this much more stable. therefor you have to look beyond the standard 3dprint shop and look for a lm12uu.by Kirschner3D - General Mendel Topics

well don't know exactly what you mean but we expanded the i3 aswell and have this design atm. prusa i3 expansionby Kirschner3D - General Mendel Topics
Minitronics max temperature - 12 years ago
We're just finished building a custom made heated chamber and noticed that waiting around 50 minutes the chamber reached a temperature of 41 degrees (105 fahrenheit). Now we're wondering what them maximum temperature the minitronics v10 ( Wiki minitronics 10) and the stepper drivers of this board.by Kirschner3D - Controllers
Re: Hot end suddenly shuts off mid-print? - 12 years ago
Good to know you almost found the cause of the problem I have read that solder melts between 180-190 degrees. So i don;t know if you did it yourself or bought it already set up.by Kirschner3D - Printing
Re: Bed and Hotend Issue. - 12 years ago
Hi printer3d It is usefull when you post a problem to give me specification to what kind of printer you're using, nozzle diameter, slice program and so on. For the 1 problem could you post the beginning of your G-code, to look if there is a mistake in there. and for the 2 problem a picture would be nice to see how your PEEK is welded to your nozzle, because we don't know what kind of nozzle yoby Kirschner3D - Printing

Don't know if Repetier is the problem, but when we used RepetierHost it did things we didn't want it to do. Maybe try Pronterface and see if this changes anything for you.by Kirschner3D - Printing
Re: I need a bigger hole - 12 years ago
Yeah that is a good article from Nophead, But it was a callibration issue the x and y axis where to short so that makes the hole to small as well. we sliced it with every slice program we have(slic3r, Kisslicer, Sfact, Cura) and don;t see any problems anymore in hole shrinkages. we like our holes now and practically everything we put in it fits.by Kirschner3D - Printing
Re: I need a bigger hole - 12 years ago
ATM we are recalibrating the printer, just because we don't trust ourself anymore and starting from scratch. i'll post a little bit later the results and see if this will change anything.by Kirschner3D - Printing
Re: I need a bigger hole - 12 years ago
Thank you for the reaction, i made a typo in the post the layer height was 0.2. i changed it now. furthermore i tried stretch in skeinforge and mad absurd changes to see if it would make that much of a difference but i still wouldn't fit.by Kirschner3D - Printing
Re: Hot end suddenly shuts off mid-print? - 12 years ago
I had the same problem, that even the temperature drops so low that it stops extruding but keeps on moving, because of prevention of cold extrusion. My problem was that the thermistor inside the nozzle was loose and was measuring temperature in mid air. This has a much lower temperature then when the thermistor is stuck against the metal of the nozzle.by Kirschner3D - Printing
I need a bigger hole - 12 years ago
I'm printing with a Prusai3 with a nozzle diameter of 0.4 printing with a layer height 0.2 filament diameter 1.75. Calibration is correct done this multiple times. I'm printing new parts for new printers that I want to build, but the holes that I print are smaller than they should be. I tried 3 slicer programma's (Slic3r, Kisslicer, Sfact) thinking that was maybe the problem, tried allot of difby Kirschner3D - Printing
