First layer issue on glass - 8 years ago
Hi guys, I just installed my Borosilicate plass plate on my Flashforge Creator Pro and I get some really bad results on the first layer. I'm not 100% sure that is it because of the glass. Maybe the nozzle is clogged or something. Here are my print settings from simplify3d. Material: PLA Temp: 220 / 60 Height: 0,2mm I stopped the print after the first layer. If I let it continue the issue disapby Shinobi - Printing

Remove Buildtak glue from aluminium heating bed - 8 years ago
Hi everyone! I own a Flashforge Creator Pro and just removed the blue printing mat and want to replace it with a glass bed. I removed the mat now, but there is a lot of glue stuck to the aluminium bed... i tried using a sponge, but it is reeeeaaaally slow and i wanted to ask if you could give me some advice how to clean the bed. acetone? limonene? rubbing alcohol? Thank in advance!by Shinobi - Printing

China Prusa i3 add WIFI - 9 years ago
Hi guys, I would like to know if it would be possible to add wifi to my china printer, so I don't have to run around with the SD card all the time. I guess it would be possible with a Raspberry Pi and a WiFi module. Is that correct and does anyone know some step-by-step tutorials for that? Thanks a lot!by Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
i just meant that this glass would be able to be heated up to 300° yes i just bought a borosilicate glass from amazon. which is made for the MK2/3 heat bed that should do fine. i just wanna explore all options and understand why this is better or worse and not just blindly follow some advice... i really do appreciate your help!by Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
i talked to a glass company and they said with the regular glass they cannot guarantee that the glass won't make any problems when i heat it up to 70-80°. however there is also a special glass that can take heat up too 300°, but it is 6mm thick. would that still be ok? in german it's called "VSG glass"by Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
yes maybe i will try both solution. the glass one will be easier and faster... my biggest concern is that the glass might also be uneven :/by Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
so right now i'm thinking of machining a new aluminium plate. i do have access to a cnc machine and could make a complete straight surface with it... the other option is still a glass plateby Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
i just found out that my plate is not acryl, but aluminium . but that still doesn't solve the problem that it's a little bent... @wampablo. how big are those clips. the pcb is about 1mm but how thick can the glass plate be?by Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
i should be able to use clips like this, right?by Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
ah thanks now i get the clips i am torn between a glass plate and aluminium... i know both have advantages and disadvantages. most printers seem to use glass, so i guess i will go with this one. i could use thicker glass do make sure its even. what would you recommend? the binder clip seems ok, but does not look nice . i would prefer a smoother solution... i'm awaiting the reply from the glasby Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
thanks for the advice. i'm not sure if i can remove the acryl plate from the pcb. what kind of clips do you mean? can you show me a picture please? i will ask a glass cutter if he can also drill the holes, so i can still use the screws for mounting maybe... what thickness would you suggest with or without the acryl plate in between? how does the fiberglass help? redirecting the heat to the top oby Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
Hesine Prusa i3 china copy - uneven Heated bed - 9 years ago
Hi guys, I got my new Prusa China printer working, but it still needs some time until i figure everything out. One problem I already came across is that the heated bed seems to be uneven. The material is acryl and when I level all 4 corners and try to move the nozzle to the center then there is no more distance between nozzle and heated bed... thats a problem, right? I read that most printers uby Shinobi - Prusa i3 and variants
