Gluing it on sounds like the way to go!by imekon - Ormerod
Anyone else had this happen? The X axis runner on the metal runner slid off. I didn't notice until the print started going wonky! Then thought "why is the head running across the print, and why is it at such an odd angle..." It suffered no damage and I slid it back on, but thought, what's to prevent it happening again? There's no screw to tighten the plastic mount against the metal runner, so iby imekon - Ormerod
I'm interested. I've had various Arduino/Netduino LCD's etc that I was thinking of creating a 3d printer control box that would link via USB and control the printer much like your laptop does... just you wouldn't need the laptop etc.by imekon - Ormerod
So I'm printing merrily a side panel for a spool holder. It's about halfway through the print. It stops. Then it seems to reset, and start reprinting as if from scratch. There are now awful sounds as it tries to drag the head through the printed output so far... I hit the reset button. I cleaned it all, and it seems to have not suffered. So I tried again, same panel. Tried through the web interfby imekon - Ormerod
If I flash my setup with 0.65 to 0.78 do I need to rewire anything - can I leave the Z probe wiring as it was for 0.65?by imekon - Ormerod
Getting better - learned a few things: Bed needs to be clean Z0 is critical - too high and you get lifting; too low and it can't feed and squashes everything Get the bed level, level compensation helpsby imekon - Ormerod
I had a go at printing something a bit bigger, a front panel to a box. It got so far, then there was a loud snap sound, and I found it had slipped about 1cm on the Y axis. I aborted after that. Looks like my cable tie on the belt wasn't enough, ho hum.by imekon - Ormerod
I tried a 0.9 multiplier and got a print that's a lot better.by imekon - Ormerod
I've found simply wiping the bed before printing makes quite a bit of difference, usually when the bed is up to 60C.by imekon - Ormerod
Hi I tried printing your y-belt-clamp-v7 and -v7x however on one of the parts the teeth are just too close to the wall - in fact one closes. I'm converting your STL file to G code, I'm wondering if my settings are off? Peteby imekon - Ormerod
I wondered why when I unplugged the USB from the laptop all the lights would go out - I'd forgotten the jumper on the Duet board. D'oh! I see my lack of attention to detail is working hard again. So, I hooked it up to my LAN and saw the web page for the first time. Uploaded a few test objects and tried more prints. Definate issue with lifting off the bed. I'm getting a good 20x20x20 cube, but evby imekon - Ormerod
MUCH better results once I set the bed levelling compensation. Now I get a 20x20x20mm cube.by imekon - Ormerod
So I've finished building my Ormerod and done my first print, and there are a few things to sort out. This is my first 3D printer and I tried to follow the instructions on the RepRapPro website with the photographs. I got a few things wrong and found a few weak areas. I should say I'm an electronics engineer who switched to software engineer very early in my career, so fiddling with hardware isby imekon - Ormerod
I'm using latest firmware. If I extrude 100mm it judders a little. While printing it was smooth. I raised the z axis by 1mm and tried again, it went better. It looks as though the head is touching the plastic as it starts but gets better and more stable higher up.by imekon - Ormerod
So I updated my homeall.g file and... The cube is hollow, the snowman I aborted.by imekon - Ormerod
Thanks, that makes sense. I'll check when I get back.by imekon - Ormerod
I unplugged the sensor, snipped off the lugs that got in the way, reseated the probe. I plugged back in, cable tied the cable so it won't tilt as the head moves. X Home and Z Home work fine now. Yet the command G28 still buries the head in the bed - this is in the test files; if I home X, Y and Z manually, fine. Yet, G28 zeroes Z to somewhere different (X is not 55). Am I missing something?by imekon - Ormerod
Yeah, I tried that but the lugs prevent the board from lying flat against the plastic. I'm wondering if I should slice off the lugs?by imekon - Ormerod
I've just finished putting together my Ormerod kit and I'm finding issues with the Z probe. The connector on the loom has lugs on it that foul the plastic. It seems to work itself loose as the head moves around. The symptoms are that X axis home sometimes fails. Home all axis command G28 buries the head in the bed. Yet if I try Z Home, it stops exactly where it should, where I set it. G31 is reby imekon - Ormerod
