Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
So my Sintron Kossel cracked. I was auto leveling the bed and for some reason it decided to ram itself into the glass bed. I hit stop. But I heard something snap. I looked and couldnt find the issue. I tried to auto level and noticed the z side was messed up. I looked at the upper corner frame and the Z corner cracked. For now I have tightened the screw as much as possible but its still loose.

QuoteElectric ant Why is it that every time I try to start a print, the bed heats up ok, then the print head drops to (Slic3r is set to) 50mm and heats up fine. then every time the print head moves to the top right corner, the X axis comes down as far as it can go (this pushes the head over the edge of the bed) and then the Z axis drops to.......... it wants to go below the bed level but I pressby DRTak - Delta Machines
Re: PETG minimum time per layer comparison - 10 years ago
I have tried this since I cannot find slow down toggle in slic3r. Printing PETG on 87deg bed. With Fan and without Fan. I see no difference. I still get the picture on the left. But for my prints, the most bubbly warping is on the opposite wall. Can you please tell me where the settings are for "minimum layer time" in slicer? And how you input the numbers?

Re: New print surface material? - 10 years ago
QuoteZedsquared Just reporting on on my printbite experience with PETG, again no real problems. I run the bed at 70C and it grips fine, the only difference it it doesn't release quite as completely as ABS and PLA seem to when the bed has cooled. It's still easy to remove the part though. I ran the bed at 110C with PETG once (accidentally used an ABS gcode file) and that was solidly stuck on untilby DRTak - General
Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
QuoteBigkahuna2187 Whats the best way to adjust this? I have to agree with "what are the diagonal stripes" question. I think you doubled up on the blue tape where the wrench handle is. This makes the z height taller than the rest of the bed? From the picture it looks like you partially taped vertically then in some areas diagonally. But not really sure. Either way your bed isnt level.by DRTak - Delta Machines

Re: Can we melt PLA pellets to use it for molding? Maybe microwave it? - 10 years ago
I think logically you would have to make the mold out of something other than PLA. So make it out of ABS which has a higher melting point. Then u can use a 3D pen to use and "inject" plastic into the mold. This might work.by DRTak - General

Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
Quotegkr Hello Experts, Since the current topic appears to be related to calibration... I never got the Auto-Z-Probe to work properly, and had a few instances when the z-probe unexpectedly engaged in the middle of a print. So, when I switched over to the E3D Hot-end, I removed the Z-probe altogether, and ended up manually calibrating the print-bed (mounted on springs) as much as I could. Nby DRTak - Delta Machines
Re: Ebay SINTRON Kossel Mini full kit - 10 years ago
QuoteCrisCG This is what's happening: look here I agree with the rest. The probe is sticking or not deployed. I was able to get my probe to work correctly. I even fixed the issue when the probe cuts into the heatbed because it goes to low before auto retracting by adjusting the marlin firmware. However, I am now using IR probe.by DRTak - Delta Machines

Right now I have a a heatsink fan on full. I only heat my hotend to 240 for PETG and it works fine. I have a 2nd thermistor on the heatsink itself and it reads 100deg C. Still hot but not that bad. The heatsink shroud is made of ABS so well below the metling point of ABS.by DRTak - Delta Machines

Quotehacker Quotenebbian Quotehacker Sounds like it can go close to 300 then, right? I wouldn't go that high, most I'd go would be 265. But then again I scare easily Theoretically, I mean ;-) I think I only heated it up to 290 or even 295 for hot-tightening, but I did try printing PETG at 270 for the speed sake and it worked ;-) Of course it also depends on heatsink cooling (as I said I useby DRTak - Delta Machines

I cannot wait for the new board. I am using the 0.6 Duet and see no need to jump to 0.8.5. However, I might con myself into buying the Duet NG if it has more advantages. I also would like larger on board connectors for the heatbed and hotend. And the big reason for me to jump to 0.8.5 would be that there is an onboard Paneldue link and an onboard IR board link (it is assumed the duet ng will haby DRTak - Duet

Well with my new setup I had my first hiccup. I enclosed the PSU inside of my enclosure. I think it got too hot in there. The entire system shut down after 30min. After I took the cover off, the system auto rebooted itself. I tried a smaller print that only took 19min and this didnt happen. When I tried to print something that was supposed to take 1hr, at the 30min mark it shut down. So doing anoby DRTak - Delta Machines

Quotedc42 Btw if you have the electronics under the bed, then you must have cork or similar insulation between them anyway, to prevent the bed heater cooking the electronics.
