just to update--- that was my problem.. i was setup for 1/32 stepping and had a a4988 driver in the socket.. printed another cube last night and it's a lot better.. now I just need to calibrate it... i was about .50mm off on one of the axis..... but that's another issue...by jaywalk101 - Printing
Thanks for the reply! I think I might know what's wrong. I believe I have a 1/16 stepping driver on the E0 input instead of a 1/32 driver which I bet is what it's programmed for. I hope that's what my problem is.. If so, it will be an easy fix. Thanks!by jaywalk101 - Printing
As the title stats. I'm having issues with print quality with my test calibration cube. I have verified cura settings and everything looks good. By looking at the images of my cube, do you think its an extrusion issue (under/over), loose belts, or unlevel bed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!by jaywalk101 - Printing
Hey guys, I purchased the following NEMA 17 motors on Ebay by mistake: Not sure what to do with them. It's not worth sending them back. Possibly thinking about building a smaller 3d printer with it. Any good ideas for a new future build I could use these for? Thanks!by jaywalk101 - General
Thanks for getting back Montiey! After tinkering with settings and adjustments I had two problems working against me. My Z axis rods were out of sync and I was extruding the PLA too hot. I bumped down my temps from 205 to 190 and fixed the Z axis, and all is good again. Thanks!by jaywalk101 - Printing
Hey guys! I gotta problem with my printer that I'm having trouble figuring out. It's being very intermittent. I use the greg wade extruder and I just recently swapped out all the printed parts with new ones. I also swapped out my old a4988 stepper drivers to drv8825 drivers on the Z and E axis. I doubled my steps in the marlin config just so you know. Anyways.. I've been getting terrible qby jaywalk101 - Printing
Hey everyone, I too am looking at trying to do dual extrusion on my 8" makerfarm. I'm considering the notion of trying a dual boweden extrusion setup. I was wondering if I just printed two of the following: modify my carriage and have one in front of the other versus side by side? Does anyone see any problem with this? Any input on the bowden design all together? I'm currently using the wby jaywalk101 - General Mendel Topics
Well I found out my problem. My Z Endtop wire on the Closed solder joint snapped off. I guess the stress from the servo shaking and maybe the wire tension caused the solder to break off. Problem solved now. Printing again!! Yeah!!! I guess it was making enough contact to be intermitent. Anyways.. i'm happy!by jaywalk101 - RAMPS Electronics
Hello everyone! This is my first post. I've been a lurker here for about a month now. I got my Prusa i3 (makerfarm 8" prusa) a couple of weeks ago and i'm now trying to get my auto bed level feature setup. I finally got everything working good last night but now my printer is freezing about 5-10 minutes into a printed object. The motors stop, and the LCD screen kind of blinks/flashes with noby jaywalk101 - RAMPS Electronics
