Well. I have been using mostly cartesian I3 style printers and made big ones using always the corexy system. Doing research, some calculations and observations, both corexy and hbot have advantages and disadvantages. Big and very precise printers uses Hbot. I have observed stratasys printers using it for example. That has to mean something. Then, to my opinion: .- corexy is somehow more simple toby Tinchus - Mechanics
Thanks for the answer. There is a lot of debate here in de forums regarding wich system is better. Corexy has advantages but also disadvantages. Im trying to move towards a hbot becuase in my case I can setup all the hardware a good HBOT systems needs. So I prefer in this setup to stay in the HBOT setup. Any ideas how to overcame this problem?by Tinchus - Mechanics
Hello. what would be advantages and disadvnatgaes of hbot vs corexy systems. Hbot looks like mor simple but also more difficult to have it running properly because of the torque induced to the frame.by Tinchus - Mechanics
Hi all. I have had a really funny discussion today with a guy. This guy is like tryng to be really "creative" (im trying to be kind). But I ould like to hear the forum opinion about this, specially from experinced users like digital dentist and others. This is the issue: What do you prefer: a simple priming sequence, where the extruder is instructed to extrude 50mm of filament at the 190X190X50 Xby Tinchus - General
Obewan, I use 43, should be the same, and it is shorter than writing all that long name lol about the card and reset buttom: I cant explain it, and I really cant find a logical reason for this, BUT IT WORKS: looking the lcd from the back, there are 2 ribbon cables, 2 conectors. I saw the one on the right, and it was fliped over compared to its conection on the board, so I corrected this. I turnedby Tinchus - Firmware - Marlin
NI te gastes en colacarle el mismo regulador, ese regulador viene ya de diseno mal parido, es "chico" para el consumo. Calienta demasiado y a la menor tocadito se quema. Fijate en youtube, tenes varios videos para reparar esta "falla", ahora no me acuerdo el numero, pero se pone otro regulador que se coencta con las patitas invertidas.

Hi. I decided to move to marling, I have been useing repetier firmware but I just read marlin 1.1.9 features and... there are many really cool! Everything is working now, even manual autoleveling!

Quotefrankvdh QuoteTinchus Quotefrankvdh Sounded good, so I thought I'd give it a try. Bizarrely, it appears that it only knows 3 kinds of firmware: 3D Systems, 5D Relative E, and 5D Absolute E ("most common"). Or maybe the list scroller/selector thing is broken. Either way, deleted it again. Well, yes, as I said, it lacks of "common" features present in other slicers. That's a huge understateby Tinchus - General

People... I use cura, slic3r and s3d like for the last 3 years. I tried other slicers and just discarded them for one or another reason. An actually I mostly use slic3r (the dev versions) and s3d when I need some heavy support tweaking. The other day I saw a video about kisslicer new version and decided to try it.

Hi all. Question: pud autoninng can give us a pretty close to good PID tuning, but good tunning requires some extra adjustment. Can PID tuning be done WHILE printing a test object?by Tinchus - General
Forget abou 1.2.9... For some reason developers have not published as oficial and stable the new dev versions, but Im useing them for at least 1 year and they are GREAT. I have been useing features that for example simplify3d only has in the last 3 months... and I have had them since 1 year lol. Just go to the slic3r homepage but download the dev version.by Tinchus - Slic3r
Ok... I didnt abandoned this issue. I converted my prusa i3 to a 3 point level system as I already stated. I experimented with it for a while. And then I found this: In this video it is perfectly explained why a 4 point levelling system should be used. I got an almost same explanation from prusa itself. I aske them why they use a 4 point levelling method instead of a 3 points and they game meby Tinchus - General

OK, DD, may be Im not understanding what you mean by parallel rails. My printer is a prusa i3. Are the smooth Y rods parallel between them? yes. If I measure the height inthe beginning og 1 of the smooth rods and the end of it, there is a difference of 0.4 mm. That means... yes, it is not parallel to the ground (the ground is levelled). The Z frame is squared to the X and Y axis. So, why does itby Tinchus - General
mmm ok... so I guess that tis is why 4 points levelling is used instead of 3? 3 point levelling is somehow the correct... but asumes a lot of things in real world would be too dificult to have... Im my case, I have measured, the Y smooth roods have a difference in height og 0.4mm from end to end... in terms of real world that would be considered parallel... IF that small difference avoids the useby Tinchus - General
Im confused now. If Y smooth rods are not parallel that would make an inclination to left or to the righ, but that inclination wouldnt be corrected by the bed levelling?by Tinchus - General
I have a prusa i3. As all of them, it come wth a bed atach to 4 points. To elvel, you adjust those 4 screws. Along time I have experimented different levelling methods: 4 points with springs, hardest springs, removeing the springs, etc; all methods have advantages and disadvantages but all of them are quite time consuming and tiring. I always wondered about the 3 point levelling method. SO now Iby Tinchus - General
Looking at the specs of the mk3 aluminiun heated bed... it already comes with a hole intended to be used with the 3 point levelling system, so I guess thermal expansion was already taken into account? By the way: the info in your site is awesome.by Tinchus - Reprappers
ok, so i should be ok useing 3 levelling points and the MK3 heated bed since that plate is not extruded (is a cast tolling plate with heated elelments integrated into it)by Tinchus - Reprappers
What I have is a mk3 aluminiun heaed bed, is that considered thin? It is 3mm and as I know is an alloy of aluminiunby Tinchus - Reprappers
One question: if you have an aluminium heatd bed, useing the 3 point levelling doesnt allow the alluminium to warp in teh edges? I think I read something like that somewhere and that is why the 4 points in prefered in those cases?by Tinchus - Reprappers
