I printed this simple cone to see if the problem was on the z-axis. It's 30cm tall, which is about as tall as a prefer to print. This model required no z-hop or retraction. I'm quite impressed with the quality of it. It has none of the banding or gaps visible on my previous prints. At this point, I'm thinking the pr

Hey Ladies and Gents,
I've the got the printer up and running again. Updated the firmware on the board, so now I can save my settings. I used some of eSun's white PLA+. Anyway, Here's a benchy boat.

Not terrible overall. Still some variation in the layers, especially towards the top. So,

Thanks for the feedback guys!
So here's my game plan.
1. Update the firmwe
I want to be able to save the extruder esteps into eeprom.
2. Adjust temperature
185degrees seems to be the average PLA print temp so we'll try that
3. New PLA
I have some eSun PLA in the mail. My current batch of PLA isn't the highest grade stuff.
4. Machine Maintenance
I'll run over the printer with a

Hey guys!
Recently purchased the infamous Creality CR-10. I decided as a first upgrade to switch out the stock MK8 hotend with a V6 clone. I printed the mounting with my ABS printer. So it went together more or less without a hitch. I did some calibrating and leveling and my first print turned out as such

I was hoping that wasn't the problem, but so be it. I've been investigating these silicone heater pads. After watching one of Tom Sanladerer's videos about using silicone heaters, I think this will be my best bet. I figure wiring it up to mains 110v AC with a solid state relay to the RUMBA board I'm using and keep my fingers crossed.

Hey guys,
I'm currently running Makerfarm's Prusa 12in i3v. I have been using this printer for about two years with no major problems excluding regular maintenance. I recently switched the stock 300mm x 300mm PCB heater plate with a 3mm aluminum 200mm x 300mm plate. I figure I sacrifice a little build space for a sturdier build platform in which I can later install an inductive sensor for auto l

Update!
Upon closer inspection, the hobbed gear in the Titan Aero was slightly off center to the filament and bearing. I disassembled and adjusted the gear. After testing, it still stripped. However, after some adjustment of the tension spring, it seems to be working correctly now. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you everyone for your help. I'll keep y'all updated if this continues to be a pro

Hey guys,
I've been using Makerfarm's Prusa i3v 12" printer for the last two or so years. Up until recently, it's given me no problems what so ever (excluding basic maintenance, etc.) HOWever, about a month ago, the hobbed bolt in the extruder began to strip the 3mm filament. I've been using Greg's Wade extruder and a .5mm J-head Hotend for the entirety of the life of this printer. So, I figure
