Hello, someone has already tested the Diamond Hotend ? What do you think about the Hotend on an Ormerod ? Would it be possible ? Alexby Alex74 - Ormerod
Hi Dave, i'm interestet ! Please put me on the list for the new batch. Alexby Alex74 - Ormerod
Quotedc42 The homing buttons in the web interface do use the homing files. However, if you have a missing F parameter in homez.g then the movement speed will.depend on what commands have been executed previously. Also if you press the Home All button then it runs homeall.g and not homez.g. I've testet, Homing all via Web-Interface, Bed compensation via Web-Interface. After that, I do G28 Z0 yeaby Alex74 - Ormerod
Quotedc42 You are using G28 Z0 in your start gcode, so check your homez.g file. Chances are it has a G1 X Y command with no F parameter in it. The Homing in WebInterface doesn't use the homez.g file ? OK, I'll check this evening and let you know.by Alex74 - Ormerod
Hmm, I haven't changed the homing files but I'll have a deeper look in my homing files. If i press the 'Home ALL' in the web interface it uses the homing files or not ? So I dont understand why this is fast and only by starting a print the moving in x/y to the home position is extremly slow ?by Alex74 - Ormerod
Quotedc42 Are you sure it is the G28 on the slicer start gcode that is slow? I seem to remember that the original start gcode in the slic3r profile provided by RRP contained a G1 command without a feed rate in it, and this caused it to execute very slowly sometimes depending on what you did previously. Yes, I'm sure. Its only G28 Z0. Have a look: ; perimeters extrusion width = 0.50mm ; infilby Alex74 - Ormerod
My homing files are like before. If I do a homing via Web Interface the speed is normal. Only on starting printing it is very slow. My maximum speed travel is like in your config.g - and this is very fast ! Okay, youre right, I do a manually homing and bed compensation before printing. So a Homing in gcode wouldn't be necessary. I'll have a look at 1.09k...by Alex74 - Ormerod
With the newest Version (compared to my last v0.78) I have still some Problems. The printing results are not as good as before. I don't know exactly why. On Starting a print, normally there is a Homing in G-Code. But the Homing is very, very slow. Is this correct ? So after Bed Comensation the Hotend stays on X=213 and it takes a long, long time to home from there ... If I do a Bed Compensaby Alex74 - Ormerod
This week I updated from 0.78 to the actual 1.09. Wow, what a difference ! The Web-Interface looks totally different! And really nice ! Thanks for your great work on the Firmware and the Webinterface. Because the step was so big, I have some questions: - I have a bed.g in my sys-Folder. Am I right that I dont need it anymore ? I have deleted it and the G32 looks okay. - I use the originalby Alex74 - Ormerod
I don't know, if other slicer are better because I have no direct comparison. Until now, there are no Problems with Slic3r, no crashes etc. Would be interesting if on printing the same Object, sliced with slic3r in comparision with S3D would be different. But in this Thread that was not my question. My Result with Spiral Vase option and disabled 'relative E distances' was perfect now. It pby Alex74 - Ormerod
On slic3r.org i found a tip with more details: Last days I sliced an other model with vase option and with turned off 'use relative E distances'. Yeah, great, it works ! QuoteTreito Many thanks for this info. As I said I never used this option before but I am sure that Simplify3D does not suffer from this problem. But for the moment I am not sure why I spent so much money as short time afteby Alex74 - Ormerod
Thanks, Ian, for the hint. I only used the spiral vase option. I'll do a new print with turned off relative E distances. The Quality of my last print (without turned off relative E distances) was already very well but has a visible join ...by Alex74 - Ormerod
Hello, I tried to use the 'Spiral Vase Option' in the slic3r. This option should do the perimeter as a continuous spiral (slowly lifting Z all the time) instead of individual layers (with one Z lift each layer). By printing I can see that there would one Z lift each layer (do a Retraction and after that lift Z) So it doesn't work. Has anyone tried too ? Any Idea ? Thanks, Alexby Alex74 - Ormerod

Hi, okay, thanks a lot again. Now I see clearer and I've again learned more how to use my Omerod even more perfect. The new Results from yesterday are very, very good and the little Marvin looks great. I use the great Firmware from DC42 (Thanks for this good work!)... Alexby Alex74 - Ormerod
Thanks a lot for all the hints. I'll try to test ist again. Some Question again: - If I say to Slic3r that I want layer thickness 0.12mm (instead of 0.24mm), do I have to tell this my Ormerod too in the Webinterface ? - If I choose the "half steps", the resolution of the Steppers will increase. On the GCode I have to change nothing, or - If I want to slow down the last Layers, do I have to dby Alex74 - Ormerod
Hello, the Results with de default settings in Slic3R for the Ormerod2 are very good on bigger objects and on reproducing/reprinting the individual Parts of the Ormerod2. The Printing of the Demo-Whistle was very good. Today I tried to print a little 'Marvin' with 2.4 x 1.9 x 2.5 cm. The results are not as good as other Objects. I thing, it is too hot because the Layers are printed to fast andby Alex74 - Ormerod
Hi dc42, I updated to your Firmware an your website. WOW ! That looks perfekt for me ! The G32 is much faster and the Axis Compensation works. The website has more Details and works perfekt. It now shows the object height and the estimated Time and the progress. Looks very good... Thanks a lot... Regards, Alexby Alex74 - Ormerod
Hello dc42, many thanks for your answer ! If i first use G32 (do I have to use it everytime I power on my Omerod2?) before the Axis Compensation will this be okay for printing ? I think, I will try to update the Firmware to your Firmware an test it. I always use the web interface. In my Version on active printing all Values (Estimated Times, Progress etc) stay on zero. Is that fixed too ? Alby Alex74 - Ormerod
Hi James, I have read all about the M556-Command but it's mysterious. Without the Command everything ist fine. The Parameter X0 says no correction if the Y-Axis moves. But by G32 I can see by moving from Point 1 (x=45, y=0) to Point 2 (x=45, y=1??) i can see, the x moves a lot. Alexby Alex74 - Ormerod
Hello, I tried to make the Orthogonal Axis Compensation but it won't work correct for me. What I've done: Printed the Parts. xy: nearly correct xz: 3 turns anti-clockwise = 1.5mm yz: 1.3 turns anti-clockwise = 0.875mm Now I make a File setaxis.g: M556 S77 X0 Y0.875 Z1.5 After I started this gcode I try an G32 for automatic Bed-Leveling. But now, I can see if the Y-Axis goes to Point 2 thby Alex74 - Ormerod
