Re: Banding on walls? - 5 years ago
On my printer this was caused by a worn z axis nut and/or z axis threaded rod. Many users have reported success with replacing the original z axis nut with a large brass nut. I am in the US and could not find a source for a big brass nut, and replaced the z axis nut and rod several time with limited success as it would quickly wear out again. Problem solved for me by going with a T8 lead screw anby ayudtee - Ormerod
Re: Print quality and fine-tuning of settings - 6 years ago
Roughness on the first and last layers could be caused when the tip of the hot end is not perfectly level and square with the bed. I have an Ormerod 2 and was never able to get the stock x-carriage to adjust the hot end tip to be level and square with the bed. When I installed dc42's Ormerod 2 hotend board I also went with chrishamm's x-carrige design for the Ormerod 1 Chrishamm's part allows theby ayudtee - Ormerod

Re: How big's your fan? - 6 years ago
I've tried several various fans and fan combinations but never could get full cooling coverage needed to eliminate curling. I upgraded to a Berd Air pump for part cooling and it works better than any fans that I've tried. However, the stock cooling ring that comes with the kit did not work well for me and the pump in its stock configuration is very loud when set at 100%. I experimented with a nuby ayudtee - Ormerod
Re: Confirming current best M305 settings - 6 years ago
My Ormerod 2 has the same values for thermistors and resistors and is using the exact same M305 commands. I am not too clear on your meaning of the cold extrusion statement, but auto tune should be the calibration used.by ayudtee - Ormerod
Re: Magnetic push rods causing fan malfunction - 6 years ago
The hotend cooling fan shown in the video cannot work because it is located under two ball studs. The fan should be moved to be between the ball studs in order to operate outside of the magnetic fields generated by the rod ends. After the fan has been moved the rods on each side will need to be opposite poles as they will still slow or stop the fan if the poles match. HTHby ayudtee - Delta Machines

Re: Tuning new build DBot Bowden E3D v6 - First layer problems - 7 years ago
Webdad, I misspoke and used the wrong term about the extruder. By "direct" I meant that it is a 1 to 1 drive with no gears. Sorry for the confusion. The Titan can either use a bowden or mounted directly. The Ormerod extruder is bowden only. Its likely that Thingiverse will have a Titan mounting option that will work for your D-Bot. Good luck.by ayudtee - Printing
Re: Tuning new build DBot Bowden E3D v6 - First layer problems - 7 years ago
.11 should be a good bed height setting, but the print looks to me like the height was too high on the first layer for a .4 nozzle. Since you are running the Duet controller on its web interface, I'd recommend clicking on the Z Baby stepping down button when the print starts and that will lower the height by a .05 mm offset to see if it makes any improvement. This is a very handy feature as you cby ayudtee - Printing
Re: Ormerod 3 - 7 years ago
The best way to increase precision with the Ormerod design, imo, is to replace the smooth rods and linear bearings on all 3 axis with linear rails. As is done with the Cetus MKII.by ayudtee - Ormerod

Re: Heightmap to the moon... - 7 years ago
Your heightmap shows 112 probe points. Snippet from the 1.19 What's New page, "If you have more than 32 probe points in your bed.g file, you will have to reduce the number to 32."by ayudtee - Duet
Re: Need formatting tips, Any and all help welcomed - 7 years ago
Zulance, Based upon your "The bigger the circles got the cleaner around they became" observation, I think that the magnetic joints around the effector may be binding up. The photo attached to your first post ( when zoomed in) seems to show the magnetic rod ends on the effector completely covering over the joint balls instead of only cupping the top half of the ball like the connections on the caby ayudtee - Delta Machines
Re: Need help with a Bondtech Extruder with duet 0.8.5 - 7 years ago
I do not think it is a config issue if you have made the suggested edits, so that leaves wiring or something else as the culprit. You can verify the correct pairing of the motor's two pairs and the integrity of the connector most easily with a multi meter. . Snippet below is from the wiki, where several other methods of verifying correct pairing are described if you do not have access to a multi-by ayudtee - Duet
Re: Need help with a Bondtech Extruder with duet 0.8.5 - 7 years ago
This config.sys file that you have just uploaded was generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool on Mon Feb 27 2017 17:49:08 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time), about 30 minutes ago. Is it possible that you used this newly generated file instead of simply editing the one that you first posted?by ayudtee - Duet
Re: Need help with a Bondtech Extruder with duet 0.8.5 - 7 years ago
I've looked at your config.sys and you have three duplicate commands for your extruders. Here are your config/sys' duplicate M906 commands: M906 X1000 Y1000 Z1000 E800 ; Set motor currents (mA) M906 E500:500 If you want to use 500mA for your 2 extruders (I also think that's too low) then you should delete the second M906 line and the single M906 line should then read: M906 X1000 Y1000 Z1by ayudtee - Duet

Re: ABS Settings? - 8 years ago
Hi Pointy, The settings that I use are 100 deg bed and 230 deg hotend. I am using a 4 mil kapton sheet on the glass bed, which is much sturdier than the kapton tape that came with my Ormerod 2. I clean it with acetone and use nothing else and get good adhesion. The first time I printed with abs the hotend fell off of the carriage, as the pla nozzle mount is not able to handle the abs temperaturby ayudtee - Ormerod
Re: Got better results with Mega 2560? - 8 years ago
I suspect the tower corrections in your M665 command, "X1 Y-1", are the culprit, if your delta is an equilateral triangle. Very odd to have a negative correction value in there, and may explain why tall prints are not square.by ayudtee - Duet

The same thing happened to me once before. I found loose screws on the Duet's green lugs that hold the ferrule connections, even though I had tightened them properly when it was initially assembled. I tightened everything back up and it was fine, thankfully. I added these Duet screws to the ones that I periodically check on the printer.
