Re: Regular endstop - 8 years ago
That's exactly what I'm doing with my inductive sensor as well.... Since I'm using dual z motors on leadscrews, the bed is level all the time :/by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Regular endstop - 8 years ago
DjDemonD - That sounds pretty good actually! Are you using this your self?by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Regular endstop - 8 years ago
Thanks for your Answer PDBeal! I was thinking more like avoiding ABL entirely, and just using a regular z-min endstopby Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Regular endstop - 8 years ago
Hey reprap! So I've been fed up with the poor repeatability of the inductive sensor. And since I've added a fine milled Alu plate plus a bunch of other updates, I want to try a regular endstop on my smartrapcore. Have any of you guys designed a mount or something similar for this purpose ?by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
TPE flex on PEI aluminium bed - 8 years ago
Hello rep rappers! I have an issue with getting my TPE filament to stick to my pei covered Alu bed. I have tried hotend temperatures from 190 to 240, bed temperatures from 40 to 110 and with and without cooling fan... Each time, it warps after 2-3 layers. Does anyone have any experience with a similar setup? PLA sticks like a charm!by Kafledelius - Printing
Re: Flexidrive is Flex3Drive Early Birds - 8 years ago
Hello Reprap! So i've gotten my Flex3Drive up and running. And all i can say is wow. I absolutely Love it. I got the GT2 Version running on a CoreXY with a buildarea of 300x300, and it prints wonderfully and reliant! The support that Jason From Mutley3D Is offering, is out of this world. I had a brocken shaft, because something was overtigthened - which he replaced in no time and with no quibbby Kafledelius - General
Cura 2.1.2 - Blobs - 8 years ago
Hello Reprap! After i've updated from 15.04.06 to 2.1.2 (Cura) - i see blobs on my print it seems that it has a micro pause after each perimeter printer, where as the older version (15.04.06) did not - What could cause this? Did 15.04.06 have some kind of coasting distance preprogrammed?by Kafledelius - General

Annoying start sequence - 8 years ago
Hello Reprappers! So i've been printing for a while, and something really bugs me! Im using ABL and its working perfectly. I use CURA as slicer. What annoys me is that the auto bed leveling sequence ends in the corner furthest away from the starting point (0, 0) and cura starts the skirt and print closest to the starting point. This means, that when cura primes the nozzle, it drags the primed fby Kafledelius - General
Re: Smartrapcore - Studdering in Circles - 8 years ago
I agree That would help a lot of different builds really..by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Smartrapcore - Studdering in Circles - 8 years ago
Printing them right now I'll let you know when i try and fit them if they work for the wooden version However, do you see anything else wrong with my build? I've slacked the belts a tad, and it seems to be working way better now... i'm guessing theres friction in the belts somewhere.by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Smartrapcore - Studdering in Circles - 8 years ago
I don't see why not What's the distance between rods?by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Smartrapcore - Studdering in Circles - 8 years ago
Thank you for answering! Actually, i do see some black residue near the structural pieces. How ever, i cant seem to find a way to handle it. It seems that the carriages belt holders are some how off? Heres some pictures of the studdering. The one where it seems good is of the bottom, the other is the top. The pictures below here is of my machine - notice the black residue. Can you see anythby Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Smartrapcore - Studdering in Circles - 8 years ago
Hello Fellow Reprappers! So lately, i have been watching my printer closely due to installing a Flex3drive (WHICH I LOVE BTW!!!). However, i've noticed that when my printer does circles - alot of vibrations happend. Have any of you guys had that? Any idea what could cause it? - I'm thinking maybe belts rubbing against cariages could be an issue - but i cant really see it happening Could over hby Kafledelius - Smart_Rap

Radial Fan - 8 years ago
Hey Guys! I was wondering if anyone here is using a radial fan for the SmartRapCore? I'm using an E3D and i cant find any on thingiverse thats adabtable enough in length to fit - and i'm not that good at altering files in CAD yet.by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Printer with Small footprint - 8 years ago
Hello Reprap! I'm in a troublesome situation. I just moved into a new house with my girlfriend - and now my printer is too big (she thinks) I currently have a SmartrapCore with a build area of 300x300x300mm. This has a footprint of 43x40x47cm. Does anyone have a good suggestion in which type of printer i could rebuild it into ? With the smallest possible footprint, and a print area of atleastby Kafledelius - General
Re: Direct Extrusion - 8 years ago
DjDemonD - I gotta agree with you! Flex3Drive is amazing!! Its a breeze to use and Jason from Mutley3D is giving the best support i've ever experienced.by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Direct Extrusion - 8 years ago
DjdemonD - are you using the G2 Desing of the Flex3drive?by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Direct Extrusion - 8 years ago
ixlix - Do you have a picture of that solution? It sounds worth trying I also ended up ordering a Flex3Drive - Awaiting it in the mail any day nowby Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Direct Extrusion - 8 years ago
Thanks man! I'm not that good at cad yet :/ unfortunatly.by Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Direct Extrusion - 8 years ago
DjDemonD - Would you mind sharing your carraige design for the Flex3Drive? - Best guess is im gonna end up buying one after allby Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Direct Extrusion - 8 years ago
Yea i looked at that. Its a Bit too expensive for me at the moment So was hoping for a regular extruderby Kafledelius - Smart_Rap
Re: Zits And Pimples - S3D - 8 years ago
Ahh Well, the liner on my original E3D V6 is the actual bowden tube it seems. Thinking about applying olive oil to the filament to help remove some of the stress in the bowden tube.Do you reckon this would help?by Kafledelius - Printing
Re: Zits And Pimples - S3D - 8 years ago
That shouldnt be the issue with a E3D Though, it's all metal, isnt it? - I just tried inserting a piece of the other PLA, which now retratcted fine O.oby Kafledelius - Printing
Re: Zits And Pimples - S3D - 8 years ago
Aww! I thought that How could i fix this? I just took off the fan, although being dusty, it seemed fine. Sure it couldnt just be moisture in the filament? I just tried another filament, which seems fine :/by Kafledelius - Printing
Re: Zits And Pimples - S3D - 8 years ago
I see - It did not do anything good for me However, the joy was short. The pimples are back - for some reason And now, whenever my printer does a retraction, the filament blocks.. Could this be due to moisture? It forms a big lump of filament at the end, making it too big to pass the hot end.by Kafledelius - Printing
Re: Zits And Pimples - S3D - 8 years ago
Your absolutely Right JamesK. However, as i just moved from S3D to Slic3r - I gotta say, the feel of S3D is way better But, i think that both softwares has some features which the other lacks :/ However, what exactly does the pressure advance setting in slic3r do?by Kafledelius - Printing
Re: Zits And Pimples - S3D - 8 years ago
Thanks for getting back So, i've done a few things... I've activated Firmware Retractions, I've changed my extruder to a geared one (WOW what an improvement) and i've gone over to volumetric extrusion (still dialing in) but, some of that seems to have helped... Or maybe its just slicer I hate how you have to dial S3D in how come such an expensive software, doesnt have the functions of a freeby Kafledelius - Printing
Re: Zits And Pimples - S3D - 8 years ago
I see Downunder35m - How did you achieve that? Simply putting in an M200 command? Any settings to set in Simplify3d?by Kafledelius - Printing
