Re: "No SD Card" - 3 years ago
I have noticed, that after it warmed up, it would have less problems. So maybe the solder joints have become loose.by RRuser - Printing
"No SD Card" - 3 years ago
Been getting this more lately, and now the card (and new test cards) are not recognized even after repeated in/out attempts, contact cleanings, wiggles, etc. It does show "Card Inserted", but when trying to print it then shows "No SD Card". In general is there something else to look at, beside suspecting the pcb ?by RRuser - Printing
Preview of layer above - 8 years ago
On 1.2.9 when previewing layers, it shows you a shaded view of the layer above the one you are looking at. I remember there being a setting somewhere that turns this feature off, but can't find it.by RRuser - Slic3r
Modifiers affecting areas outside the modifier area, for 1.2.9 - 8 years ago
Trying modifiers for the first time, to change vertical shells to 2 inside the modifier, when outside they are 1. Works properly inside the modifier, but vertical shells are now 2 outside the modifier too.by RRuser - Slic3r
Re: Prusa I3 psique CREATEC (première fois 
) - 8 years ago
Very nice. I removed one of the spring-screws in the Wades extruder, so the filament would not be compressed as much.by RRuser - RepRap Groupe d'Utilisateurs Francophone

The sounds from the Z will go away after a while.by RRuser - RepRap Groupe d'Utilisateurs Francophone

Why the acme rod? The stock threaded rod works great.by RRuser - RepRap Groupe d'Utilisateurs Francophone

Wow they use V to mean velocity. We mean it to be Voltage.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Prints getting shunted sideways part way up - 8 years ago
Shifted layers are from the motor skipping steps.by RRuser - Printing
Re: First Layer Perimeter Fine, Infill Beaded Z Retraction Height set to 0mm, Ideas? - 8 years ago
Is way over-extruded. Temp might be low too.by RRuser - Printing
Re: typical values for spd/acc etc for i3 rework - 8 years ago
Here are mine for a stee frame, E3Dlite6 Wades: #define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {200, 200, 3, 45} #define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION {800,800,50,5000} #define DEFAULT_XYJERK 15.0 #define DEFAULT_ZJERK 0.4 #define DEFAULT_EJERK 5.0 I think my accel or jerk is still too high. On corners I still get a bounce and some ringing;by RRuser - Printing

That part needs more retraction. For the wobble, a video helps.by RRuser - RepRap Groupe d'Utilisateurs Francophone
Re: Horrible top layer on prints - 8 years ago
Possibly the middle section is warping up.by RRuser - Slic3r
Re: HICTOP 3D Desktop Printer - z-axis not working correctly - 8 years ago
I did not know you could change driver voltage in the firmware. I have Marlin 1.0.2 and thought I saw every setting, but I'll look for it.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Two stepper z-axis - 8 years ago
4 months of printing everyday, and no problems. No ABL either.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Wavy Surface - 8 years ago
Isn't higher speed what you want? Gives higher voltage. And/or maybe increase the drive voltage.by RRuser - Printing
Re: Regional Blob on Seam - 8 years ago
Also there is a way to get it to change layers on an inside part that is not visible, but I can't remember how.by RRuser - Printing
Re: Duplicate-distance - 8 years ago
In 1.2.9 what I do is just duplicate first, then manually arrange in 2D view.by RRuser - Slic3r
Re: Detect Thin walls not working - 8 years ago
I often try it with and without thinwalls. And with and without gapfill. Sometimes a better fix is to design the part with exact wall thickness to match an even multiple of extrusion width. I'm now using 0.4 nozzle with 0.5 width, so a good wall would be 1 or 1.5 or 2 or 2.5 mm.by RRuser - Slic3r
Re: Speed up purse i3 - 8 years ago
Print a 100 x 100 x 5 mm high solid block, and slowly up the speed to see how high you can get.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Is it normal for the lines to bunch up when using slicer - 8 years ago
Is probably slack in the belts or frame.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: extruder motor runs forwards and backwards - 8 years ago
Some simple 100 mm extrusion commands would help.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: not printing first and last layers - 8 years ago
Try a one-layer flat square.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: E3D's - 8 years ago
My E3Dlite6 works great for printing PETG.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Extrusion length varies HELP! - 8 years ago
How can it extrude 100 when the filament is not in?by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Auto Levelling - Why? - 8 years ago
I agree too. My Createc Psique i3 Steel never needs adjusting. And there is less weight on the extruder with no ABL. It's all about a solid frame.by RRuser - Prusa i3 and variants
