I know this is an older thread but I just came across it and wanted to thank everyone who participated in the discussion. I decided to build an “all leadscrew” cube style printer a few months ago and I was surprised to realize that there isn’t/wasn’t a lot of info/discussion out there on similar projects. I suspect this is because nearly every other printer architecture is easier to build, cheape

I’m a little disappointed by the lack of help on this but for the couple of people that responded I wanted to provide you with an update.
I performed a bunch of troubleshooting on my own and ultimately traced the issue to bed temperature (setpoint and non-uniform temperature distribution). I have a genuine Prusa i3 mk2s but I’m printing the ABS on glass. I figured out that my bed isn’t flat (I k

I had a similar thought but the geometry change doesn’t seem to be an issue for the other side of the part and the part is symmetric. I didn’t post picture of other prints I’ve tried but the behavior has been similar. I could print a part that’s fully symmetric in X and Y with 45 degree angled geometry off the build plate and the only side that doesn’t print properly is the side pointing in posit

Details:
- Machine is a genuine Prusa i3 MK2S HARIBO MOD
- Material is Matterhackers PRO ABS. The material is dry as I bake it prior to each use.
- General settings are 30mm/sec print speed, 100% infill, no supports, no fan, 265C hotend, and it’s printing on on glass at ~100C with a layer of PVA glue
The pictures say it all but I’m experiencing an extremely strange directional print issue (not a

Both boards seem well built and, like every other product in this world, seem to have their following. My goal in reaching out to the community was to try to get some objective feedback based upon my short write up describing my setup. I’m definitely going to have problems getting this thing up and running so my goal is to limit future frustration by minimizing adding complexity to the thing I kn

This was super helpful - thank you!
I poked around for a few more hours last night and I didn't realize that the Duet Wifi (or Ethernet) was actually a new version of the Duet (notionally equivalent to the Smoothieboard v2). I think you've convinced me to try the Duet Wifi board.

I need to post a write-up in the projects section but I'm in the midst of assembling my first scratch design/built printer. Mechanically it's coming together but I need to figure out what I'm going to do for the controller and/or stepper drivers. I'm a mechanical engineer by profession so the electrical side of things isn't my area of expertise and hence the procrastination...
