What are the indicators that you use to judge your print etc Like to see y

New Version of Cura - 9 years ago

Hi Do you know if you can use the new version of Cura for mendel90. I downloaded it and ran the setup file and it does not allow you to select other printers. If you can how do you go about setting it up for a Reprap printer ? Thanks

Re: Kossel or Cherry pi with 30mm Aluminium Profiles - 9 years ago

Anyone out there that would change the STL files to accommodate the 30mm x 30mm profiles. Have no clue how I would be able to change the file once I have it in 123D autodesk. I can create basic shapes etc . Thanks Vaughan

Re: Printing ABS for first time - 9 years ago

Hi Guys Thanks for the advice, I am using a E3D v6 so the fan is attached to the hotend. I remove the auto cooling when I print ABS and only use it when I print PLA. Maybe the connections for hotend are not good, need to reconnect and see if the power dips again. Thanks

Re: Printing ABS for first time - 9 years ago

Hi While printing my bed fan comes on and the extruder tempreature starts to drop. Only when I switch off the fan does the hotend tempreture come back on. I bought a 29amp power supply and thought that would be enough to power everthing.

Printing ABS for first time - 9 years ago

Hi I am trying out 1.75mm ABS metal hotend tonight. Do you use Auto Fan for your prints like in PLA or must there be no fan for printing ABS. I know for bridges etc yes there should be, also know that the Hotend fan must run all the time. So do you use a fan for ABS ? Thanks

Re: Kossel or Cherry pi with 30mm Aluminium Profiles - 9 years ago

Hi That means I have to import the items , therefore I may as well import the 20mm x 20mm. I hoping someone has the STL files so I can print them or tell me how I can change the existing stl files for the Kossel. Thanks anyway

Kossel or Cherry pi with 30mm Aluminium Profiles - 9 years ago

Hi I am looking for the STL files ( Printed Parts ) for Kossel or Cherry Pi which would fit 30mm x 30mm alumnium T slots. The 20mm x 20mm is not available to me or I would have to import them. If not how would one be able to change the STL file to fit the profile. Is there anyone that could change the STL files for me if they not available. Thanks Vaughan

Please help, PLA not sticking - 9 years ago

Hi I have been printing with two other PLA colors with success, however my RED PLA will not stick properly. Its does the skirt fine ( 3x Times ) but as soon as it start to print the part it just forms a ball under and around the Nozel. I notice it happens when its starts printing short strokes that the PLA does not stick. Its the short movement back and forth, that it happens , so I don't think

Which extruder setup ? - 9 years ago

Hi Which extruder setup is most people going for lately if you have a metal hotend ? I was thinking of changing my Mendel90 extruder setup or is this the best that this setup can do ? I know that the type of printer plays a big part, however I would appreciate your comments. Your comments & recommendations would be great. Thanks

Setting in the firmware, Slicer & Host software. - 9 years ago

Hi Guys Trying to understand the relationship between the 3 software that you use to print an object. First you add all the printers info ( size etc ) into Marlin, Then you enter the same info into slicer and again into your Host software like Pronterface ? So now why do you add the same info again when your host & slicer when your Marlin firmware has it already. When you slice and object a

Movement down from top to the bed slow - 9 years ago

Hi I am using Repetier Host & the Cura software, after slicing the print, my x carriage move to the Top of my printer and homes. Then it move down to the bed to print. The problem I am having and don't know what setting to change is that when the X carriage move down to the bed it moves very slowly.

Adding Fan for bed printing - 9 years ago

Hi Please can you tell me where do I can connect the Fan that cools your prints as you print on the Ramps 1.4. If i connect to the power supply, then the fan runs at 100% all the time. Where do you connect where the software controls the fan. Thanks

Top Layer Moves out of align, Please advise - 9 years ago

Hi Two Of my failed prints because while printing suddenly the printer start to print approximately 1mm from the edge on the y axis plain. The left and right side layers are aligned however the back & front edges are not aligned by about 1mm. Its like the piece move forward but it did not move at all because the piece is firmly stuck to the bed. I checked the Y axis belt , it seems fine.
