Any Pictures? Any advice on how to do temperature calibration? What slicer do you use? Any chance of sharing Slic3r settings? I spent a fair amount of time in drawing up a spreadsheet in order to completely document and plot different settings against each other. I am willing to share it with the comunity and we can add on to it. I am looking to implement a Cobra Type fan for my printer. Somby Karoo Klong - Ormerod
Quotedc42 You need an S parameter (e.g. S4) on the last G30 to tell it that you want to do 4-point bed compensation. Otherwise it looks OK to me. I noticed that te latest firmware generates the last G30 with only an S and not S4 at the end...

QuoteKaroo Klong Thanks for the help and discussion here guys. My printer must be the leader of the "Foot Clan" as it keeps shredding everything! Shredder Just an update to that. The reason for the printer shreding the filament was because the filament I received along with the printer is so uneven in diameter. In some places it is as large as 3.7mm!!! It sticks in the extruder and then jusby Karoo Klong - Ormerod

Quotesinnedwrong Slowly getting to understand the differences between a standard Ormerod " running RepRapPro's original firmware and the latest DC42 version. Regarding the Z probe (DC42s mounted on Treito's mount) I find that I need to change homez.g, homeall.g and bed.g from an X value of 15 to one of 40 in order for the sensor to be over the bed. Does that sound right and are there any other fiby Karoo Klong - Ormerod
Quoteein Erik, It gave me very similar results on the walls as when I used the greatly increased retraction speed and a negative extra filament on restart. However the bottom layer was amazingly better. I tried a benchy, but it didn't go well. I'll need to do some additional tuning. Thanks! Did you manage to resolve your problem?by Karoo Klong - Ormerod
QuoteWesBrooks I'm putting off printing a new extruder for the time being as I would like to have a more detailed look at the belt extruder designs. However, that maybe forced on me early if this clip doesn't hold. If so I'll be looking for something very standard, just with a boss for a bowden connector with PTFE guide if needed.

Thanks for the tip. What extruder are you printing? I have noticed alot of slop between my z-axis gears.by Karoo Klong - Ormerod
QuoteWesBrooks Looks like the maximum recomended temperature for the PCB het neds is aboit 120C. Realistically this means you can't raise that any further safely. Ok thank you. I set it to 122 and I am printing a large calibration file at 120'c without any problems.

I finaly got down to add the macro file to my printer and... Finaly it works!!! I can now manually mesh bed level!!! Thank you so much dc42, Wesbrooks and cheeseandham for all your help!

Quotedc42 It sounds like you've got it well-tuned. However, you might want to search this forum for posts about "Y axis twist" because it looks like your Ormerod may have a little. Thank you dc42 I will definately place that on my next order of business list. And may I again congratulate you on some really fine Firmware and an amazing web interface upgrade!

QuoteWesBrooks Ok, from what I can see in order to do probing completely manually then you need the following lines in your config file: M558 P0 H5.0 F120 T3000 The critical parts of this are H which defines the height that the probe should be above it's trigger value before it displays the pop up to drop the nozzle to zero. F usually defines the speed that the head dives when it is auto-probinby Karoo Klong - Ormerod
Yesterday I got down and sorted as much out as possible. I set up the bed probe positions and placed white stickers on the edges of the bed. I checked the height at P value 522 and it was 2.5 I had to change the config.g with limits to X-15 in order to get the offset right. Changed the z probe to reflect the 2.5mm at P value 522 I changed the values in the bed.g file adjusted the homez and homeby Karoo Klong - Ormerod

Quotejamesf I bought both my Ender 3's locally in SA (I wanted some sort of local support) and I'm very happy. They were under R4000 each which for the performance of the printer is a great price. The supplier brings them in by ship which reduces costs. That is way less than the quotes I have been getting. Perhaps you can point me in the direction of that suplier?by Karoo Klong - Ormerod
QuoteWesBrooks Cantilever elevators can work. That one looks like a spring board. Have a look at the core xy systems if that one has interested you. Less moving mass, both motors controling the x & y axis are stationery. I have been quite intrigued by Tech2c's Hypercube at some time. Paired with a Duet it would be quite a nice combination in my opinion. But I suppose there are better desigby Karoo Klong - Ormerod

Do I go for Firmware 1.21 with the •For Duet 06 or 085: RepRapFirmware.bin and iap.bin?

Thank you WesBrooks. I I appreciate the help and I most certainly don't intend on following my own path into a dark chasm from which I will not return any results.
