Hey everyone, I have recently been seeing random lines in my prints, I dont think its caused by z-wobble because I have the floating z-axis mod on my prusa i3. I do only have my glass build plate held down by 2 clips instead of 4, could this cause such lines? all belts are tight and my x-axis is solid with no play. any help would be great, thanks.by tythebuilder - General Mendel Topics
There is around a 3mm slit on the inside that lets air out, if i slow down the fan I don't get enough cooling. I don't have enough as it is, when I print small thinks like a bolt the side without the fan tends to sag a bit. I've tried using this with some luck but my fan does not have enough power to really get air all the way around. at this point I feel like its a crappy print head to begin wiby tythebuilder - General
Here is the way it is setup now, I have a fan with a small ducts facing the bottom on the head right on the piece and a 40mm fan blowing on the heatsink. when the heat sink fan is on by itself the hot end can head up normally, but when i have both on it slowly drops fro 200 to around 180. I need both fans on so the layers dont get to hot, I feel like the big circular heat acts like a heater and dby tythebuilder - General
I think the retraction issue has gotten better with 4mm and quicker travel speed, But I think I found the main reason my printer is not printing too well. There is a fan that cools the nozzle heat sink, it has be only half on because if I turn it on and have my other fan that cools the print on then the nozzle wont reach 200 degrees. But if i dont cool my print heat the print underneath does notby tythebuilder - General
I just printed the same thing again today, this time no shift in the peace (because I changed to a different fan duct) but the little towers are still everywhere >< I changed my retraction amount to 2mm instead of one and it retracts at 30mm/s. I'm printing at .2 layer height at 50mm/s and using bowden extruderby tythebuilder - General
I just started a 11 hour print for the first time today with my Prusa i3, I started it just before I went to work. I came back home to the print mostly complete but the results have some strange issues I cannot put my finger on. I have going at it for months now trying to get the best quality prints I can out of this sunhokey prusa. The first issue I have is this strange little towers and stringsby tythebuilder - General
