Re: New MKS SBASE Smoothieware-compatible board from China - 1 year ago

I've had an MKS SBASE 1.3 for a while now. And an old printer that was in need of a control board. Mating the two, I now have a mostly working printer, but before I clog up the extruder again, how do people wire up two fans with this board? Modern (apparenly "newer" than the SBASE) have two fans, one for the hotend and one for cooling the print....

complete individual objects. - 2 years ago

I have a print I want to do, and I'm pretty sure that I can make it work with my printer even though you'd normally say that some things are to high, and a collision would occur. If the right order is chosen, you can print from the front of the bed, towards the back. As long as the full clearance towards the front of the extruder is observed, the first object can be as high as you like,. Whi

Cancelling a print. - 2 years ago

I've built a that uses Marlin as its control engine. I'm using octoprint as host software. Just now a "print" went wrong and I hit "cancel". Octoprint stops sending new commands, but there are a whole lot of buffered commands inside marlin. Is there a way to clear that buffer? I see temperature commands still going back and forth, so it is not as if the communications channel is fully blocked.

Fan shutting off after 12 minutes. - 2 years ago

I've made a machine that has a lot of 3D printer components. One of them is a controllerboard running Marlin. It is a foam cutter: The machine doesn't have Z or E axes. I've wired the hotwire to the FAN output. Thus I use M106 S80 to turn it on (that's about the right PWM value. When I'm sure I never want more I might adjust the hardware to make this a 100% setting). So to do a cutting job,

Re: Slow infill printing. - 5 years ago

OK. Thanks. I'll try it once I get my printer back up-and-running.

Re: Slow infill printing. - 5 years ago

I don't see anything hinting at this behaviour there either.

Re: Slow infill printing. - 5 years ago

I seem to be using Slic3r 1.3.0-dev. (help->about). Attached is the screenshot. Thanks for looking at it. :-) I see that you see "infill 100%", This is what I use for the object that I noticed this "some layers slow" on. The object that you see in openscad in the other window should've been printed with 30% infill and then it wouldn't have run out of filament and my printer wouldn't have been

Slow infill printing. - 5 years ago

Hi, Somehow I've managed to configure things to print the infill really slow. I don't understand why. I've configured outer shell and first layer to go slower than normal, but especially the first layer is quite quick, so I'm thinking the infill should be at least as quick as that. But it is going really slow. Does anybody know what I might have configured to make this happen? My printer is

Re: Tapering object. - 10 years ago

Does anybody know what coordinates the slic3r perl code uses? } elsif ($self->config->seam_position eq 'random') { if ($loop->role == EXTRL_ROLE_CONTOUR_INTERNAL_PERIMETER) { my $polygon = $loop->polygon; my $centroid = $polygon->centroid; $last_pos = Slic3r:oint->new($polygon->bounding_box->x_max, $centroid->y); #))

Re: Tapering object. - 10 years ago

I'll check but I think the extrusion width is the same as the nozzle size. I'm using "openscad" to design my model. Is Openscad known for bad STLs? Netfabb? IIRC that's an application that runs on Windows, right? I dont' have Windows. (I just checked their website, there is no mention of operating system that I came across. I even downloaded the manual and scanned it, but there is no "install" or

Tapering object. - 10 years ago

Hi, I have a slic3r problem: I have an object that tapers to "thin". I've defined my object so that the end is still the width of my nozzle. However, when printing the last 4mm, it is printed "separately" from the rest of the outline of the object. The result is that due to imperfections in the printing process, the last 4mm of the tapered side of my object is not connected to the rest. The s

Re: Thin walls with different thicknesses - 10 years ago

What happens if a wall is printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, but enough plastic is extruded for a 0.5mm wall? Won't the wall come out to be about 0.5mm? Dave: KORYBA has already said that he has objects with many different sized thin walls, So changing a setting might make one wall come out right, but others will be wrong.
