Anti backlash Z Nut - 9 years ago
Found the idea from thingiverse, which claimed to be anti backlash for the z-axis So I modify the existing Z-Nut to test it out. The z-axis is more secure than before, but seems not much improvement on the print quality. * Test Cube was printed with new Z-Nut designby mancinism - Ormerod

Struggle with Eclipse for few days with my Macbook until I found this one. Thanks for sharing 3D-ESby mancinism - Ormerod
Re: Smaller inner holes dimension - 10 years ago
I am using Cura. Assuming dc42 solution is the best at this momentby mancinism - Ormerod
Smaller inner holes dimension - 10 years ago
I am facing problem where the inner holes are smaller than designed. An 6.0mm inner hole will end up like 5.5mm instead, but the external dimensions are perfect. So assuming the X and Y axis are perfect. I had try calibrated the flow rate with single wall cube. But still fail to solve the inner dimension issue. Is that anything can be done to improve the situation? Thank you.by mancinism - Ormerod

Hi Kim, do you have the model number of that micro switch you are using ? Trying to find the micro switch that fit into the existing holes on the x motor bracket.by mancinism - Ormerod
Re: Filament spool holder - 10 years ago
Well I didnt manage to convert the STL, just manage to measure the dimension and redraw it accordingly. Just finish printed both the base and the standby mancinism - Ormerod
Re: Filament spool holder - 10 years ago
I modified your spool stand to fit with the diameter. Don't have the printer with me right now. Maybe will post it once it printed on next week.by mancinism - Ormerod
Filament spool holder - 10 years ago
Found an old hard drive. The internal disc seems to be a good support the 1 kg filament spool. Spinning without problemsby mancinism - Ormerod
X and Y axis position - 10 years ago
I am having problem to get the printer move to the exact position, for example when I sent G1 X50 Y50 and this is what I can read from GET POS X:49.994858 Y:49.994858 Z:0.000000 E:0.000000 Anyone have idea how to calibrate the position? Thanksby mancinism - Ormerod
Re: What decent cooling can achieve! - 10 years ago
I tried to "fan" the printing object and it did make show some improvement The bottom edge on the right hand side fail before I had the cooling fan, and it looks good after the fan is ON. Or maybe I wasn't calibrate my temperature correctly.by mancinism - Ormerod
Re: Cura 14.01 - 10 years ago
After tested Frank's plugin, Cura does produce better printing than Slic3r. But I am having problem with the object printed is slightly smaller in X and Y axis. I manage to re-calibrate the Extrusion Multiplier in Slic3r using a single wall cube. I wonder does Cura has the option similar to Extrusion Multiplier and calibrate the object dimension? Thanksby mancinism - Ormerod
Object Height Incorrect - 10 years ago
I still facing problem on the object height (z axis), where the printed object is few mm shorter than the design file. I already calibrated the X and Y axis and they are perfect now. Anyone have any clue how to calibrate the Z axis, or any setting in slic3r ? Thanksby mancinism - Ormerod
Re: Slic3r Seems to have a bug - 10 years ago
It takes a while for the slic3r to save the gcode. If you upload the gcode to pronterface before slic3r complete the process, you will only get half of the print. Not sure if thats your case, but I did such a mistake once.by mancinism - Ormerod
Re: micro switch for Z homing - 10 years ago
Could you show how to switch is connected to the board? I am having problem with the IR Z Homing as well. Thanksby mancinism - Ormerod
