QuoteKimBrown Has any one tried covering the glass with that window tint stuff the boy racers put on their cars? I don't know what plastic it is, but remember doing it to an old banger I had years ago, and it was nice and smooth and stuck like mud to a blanket... Kim Havent tried it although ive got a big roll at home. Its a pain to get off once it has cured on.by PaulHam - Ormerod
Thanks. Ill have a go tomorrow. I've finally fixed my graphics problem which wouldn't let me view anything in cura, ill try that program aswell tomorrow to see if that gives anything different. Hanks Paulby PaulHam - Ormerod
Quotedc42 Paul, which version of slic3r are you using? 0.9.9 which came with the Pronterface install from RRP I believe.by PaulHam - Ormerod
QuoteKimBrown I'd import the new ini file, save, then exit Slic3r, then re-open it to be on the safe side. Your trials with the other settings.... Did you save the ini files before you sliced the stl? I think that's were I was going wrong... Importing, thinking they were in use, when I hadn't saved them, and they weren't being used for some reason. Kim.. Thats the problem i think i had last nighby PaulHam - Ormerod
Just tried it again using 0.6 fill density instead of 0.4. Also tried it with 1.0 instead of 0.95 extrusion multiplier Still got holes.by PaulHam - Ormerod
Quotedmould QuotePaulHam Quotedmould My first gear had hollow teeth also. Fixed by changing the "infill" setting to 0.6 Is that the infill density? Sorry, yes, that's the one I changed. i think the default was 0.4? Dave (#106) I assume this one, Im not at home to check my default Slic3r settingsby PaulHam - Ormerod

I thought exactly the same, I was completely put off from buying the Ormerod. but I decided to get one as I felt this design would be built upon more than others. So I bit the bullet and ordered one. I had it printing in one weekend. I am still fine tuning to get the best out of it but the kit is good, everything fitted together wellby PaulHam - Ormerod
Thanks ill have a go later, so I need to save the settings before exporting as gcode!by PaulHam - Ormerod
QuotePaulHam I printed some gears last night and had similar issues. Hi guys. After some playing tonight I've still not got any further with mine. I've printed the z gear 3 times now, one with the normal ormerod slic3r settings from GitHub. One using dc42's settings and another when I put the extrusion multiplier up to 1 (instead of 0.95) on dc42's settings All look basically the same andby PaulHam - Ormerod

Quote3D-ES Hi Chris! I have searched at RS for part # 474-5549, this number seems to belong to a timing belt..? Dittoby PaulHam - Ormerod
I had exactly the same problem. Ive put matts web interface on and it seems to be working fine nowby PaulHam - Ormerod
QuoteKimBrown Hi, I've built mine in my free time here at work on a ship. There's more RF floating around here than enough (Radars, Radios, Mobile Phones....the list is endless). I had a similar thing happen to me on my first print here. It was printing well. I Had the control software up on screen, and it was printing from SD card. It just stopped in mid track for no reason. The Temp on the Extrby PaulHam - Ormerod
Thanks So we are thinking electrical interference. ill try using printer and the laptop from the same strip. if it happens again ill look into cause 2 Cheers Paulby PaulHam - Ormerod
So my first print crashed halfway through. Any idea why? All looked well till that point. Here is a video of the final moment. I am re printing it now. Fingers crossed! its nearly at the same part. Cheers Paulby PaulHam - Ormerod

I got mine on Friday afternoon and its sitting there printing the Orthogonal Axis Compensation pieces as we speak. they look pretty damn good too! I was wondering if to buy the Ormerod or a Prusa i3 kit. I settled on the Ormerod due to thinking it would be the one with the most features but after reading through some of this forum i changed my mind again! it scared me and i thought it was a mesby PaulHam - Ormerod
Ian, I believe they are on the same version as i followed the steps and only downloaded this version. Ill check it again though. what settings/files do i need to keep from my SD so that when i put the new files on the SD card i don't loose all the settings ive been adding all day? Ill have a look at that web server as well. I have emailed you regarding the current one. It randomly works, andby PaulHam - Ormerod

Hey, Thanks for the replies. The Z, Y & Z axis all home fine when they are done seperetley but its seems that the home all command messes it up?? I have now edited the circle.g and ormaxis.g the files and ill give it another go. I thought it could be something to do with the files so i downloaded a cube file and am trying that quick. The first layer has come ok, but i think the nozzle cauby PaulHam - Ormerod
And the funny thing is that i have just pressed the 'Home' icon and the axis all home but the Z hits the bed again. I raise the nozzle up again to the height i set it before and the number is 2.3mm 2.3mm is the setting i used and put into the config.g file 'G31 Z2.3 P690' ???by PaulHam - Ormerod
Hi Everyone, I received my Ormerod kit on Friday after noon and have been working on it since, i really enjoyed the build but getting a little frustrated now as i cant work out the problem. I am stuck on bed plane compensation, I have followed the steps using the same coordinates as the instructions and ive got to the part where you run the CIRCLE.G file. Im not sure if im doing it right but i gby PaulHam - Ormerod
Hello, I had the same question as you so i PM'd some of the guys on here for advice. For me it was between the Ormerod or the Prusa i3. This is my first step into 3D printing and i was worried after reading through this forum that the Ormerod was 1 problem after the other. But the attraction is that its the newest out of the RepRap range and lots of 'cool' features will be added. The Prusa i3by PaulHam - Ormerod
