Nexus 5 Stand with Wireless Charger. My first own model and big enough print. Model made in SolidWorks, printed with Ormerod. Download from thingyverse. Took 4 hours to print, and about 30 minutes to make actual SolidWorks model. Then 1 hour to process with sand paper and paper knife. GCode generated with Slic3r: 0.24 mm layer height. Rectilinear infill with 0.2 density. Mostly 20mm/s speed buby moka - Look what I made!
Quoteauser To my eye it look ok in the right-hand lower corner, but not in the upper-left. This is why I think there could be some problem with the bed compensation. You totally right.by moka - Ormerod
Blitza, it is clear on image you've posted, that your Z carriage is too high, first layer lines should be more flat rather than just thin lines. If they are thin - it means your nozzle is too high from the bed. Simple as that. Please understand what is going on, so you wont feel so much frustration and situation will be under the control.by moka - Ormerod
Blitza, you need to compensate bed: I use manual - did once, and no worries any more. I used extra rings and bolts in corners, and did that it relatively all same height. As well make sure that Z vertical aluminium part is well fixed and not moving around. Please take in account that this is DIY kit, and majority are fine with it and it works. So mostly the one to blame - is yourself for lack oby moka - Ormerod
Using Chrome, when tab is navigated away, upload is not going on. I've tested few times, and it stays on % as I navigate away, and continues if navigate back to printer tab. Is it a bug or a feature?by moka - Ormerod
So you are talking about some macros, that would identify G codes that perform extrusion for bridging and add Z to it based on length of bridge (based on some degree?) and then move don after. I see it possible indeed, but will be a bit of an a mission tbh..by moka - Ormerod
As far as extrusion goes upwards (Z+), then it will be ok. As even with sufficient cooling horizontal bridges will not be possible - that is for sure - filament will bend downwards..by moka - Ormerod
Slic3r generates at the end one line, that says how long is approximately it uses of filament. That can be used for estimation of time very easily. Even better, you can use WebWorker to pass .g file to, that will go and calculate based on all G codes movements actual time. So it can be very precise. And if Ormerod does somehow gives information which G code it does right now, or line in gfile, thby moka - Ormerod
I would not say "no" to bolts, as I am run out..by moka - Ormerod
I had same problem. Temporary fixed it by sticking small piece of filanment between wooden part and plastic so it would slightly push bottom part aside and make angle so fan part would not touch bottom. Then I've printed this one: from iamburny, and it is greatly resolves such problem. Still there is chance if your angle is too high it would possibly touch by 2 fan extensions but they are a bitby moka - Ormerod
TAKE MY MONEY! I would be well interested in getting such bed. Few questions: 1. Is it compatible ith current aluminium part based on holes for screws (looks like it is! ) 2. I can do paypal, and based on London if you somewhere around (pretty much in London ) I can easily pick it up from you to make your life with postage eisier.

So FAN. What is the main purpose of it. As I see cooling down plastic quickly, right? Improves quality I guess? Just realised that since I got FAN replaced, I've put it wrong direction, so instead of pushing cold air on nozzle, it actually taking air from there away. The funny bit, is that I've not noticed a difference really. PS. going to put fan back to push cold air on nozzle now, and print sby moka - Ormerod
Just getting my Ormerod to full power, and as good workmate is leaving our team, wanted to do small present - his name. So this is actually my first print (apart of calibration parts). Did a bit of knife and sanding treatment to parts, as well "a" was first and did not fill well small details, but quickly adjusted that in slic3r so that rest of letters are well in-filled.

Hi. I've just updated with this firmware as well as copied files from SD-image directory to SD Card.

Nil. Thank you a lot for this link, it definitely worth of reading as well!by moka - Ormerod
Ian, amazing huge thank you for such detailed thoughts and expertise. I think it is clear, that Ormerod - is a great future investment in 3D printer. It is great that there is huge demand for this printer, I just ordered Ormerod as well, and can see that it is a few days of waiting before despatch. Thank you a lot for all information provided, I believe more is never less, so more experience anby moka - Ormerod
Thank you very much so far guys, for providing such detailed experiences and opinions - this has huge value! From new user perspective: simplicity of construction of Ormerod - indeed looks more attractive, but has few worries such as: it is still young, and construction look less "stable?" (imho, but triangles and Mendel visually provides more trust by its rigidity). Slightly unrelated questionby moka - Ormerod
I understand that such question can be inappropriate in many ways, but I believe there are good arguments for both printers that will help newcomers to choose between them. I am considering of getting Ormerod or Mendel, but to choose which - is not an easy decision. Not being afraid of hard work, with understanding that printers that require assembly - require patience, time, and of course passiby moka - Ormerod
