Thank you very much digital dentist. 1a) so the z axis belt is used because it's cheap especially for longer z axis? I thought the decision for the belts was to avoid the repetitive errors (wobble) that the screws create. Is it then ok to use the screws if you focus on quality prints and not so much on money? I mean if I buy a standard ball screw, will it be better than the belt with Chinese pulby printman - CoreXY Machines
Hi! I've seen a couple of corexy 3d printers and was wondering what the best design of axes is in terms of the resulting print quality. 1. Z axis design - are the belts used on UMMD better than ball screws? I can see the advantage of the Z axis design with 3 ball screws, because the bed can be auto-leveled, but aren't the belts betters in the resulting print quality? Can ball screws be the sameby printman - CoreXY Machines
@digital_dentist I looked at Rino block and not sure how you mounted the shaft to that. Rino has 8mm hole diameter with a little groove on it. Did you cut a groove to the shaft and put there a bar or something to connect the shaft with the Rino block?by printman - CoreXY Machines
Thanks. Good points. I've already decided to go for a box with moving table up and down but still struggling with the xy mechanism. I've narrowed down all the types to only two of them: 1. Carthesian 2S1M - one motor drives both Y axes, the another one drives X axis. See: 2. CoreXY (B ) - corexy over two levels without crossing See: The type 1 looks more rigid but slower, while the tby printman - CoreXY Machines
You are right. While I write precision I mean rather accuracy. I'm looking for an advice what is the best type of mechanism. I've read about the H-bot which appears to be worse than CoreXY because of a racking, or Markforged mechanism driving only one side. So there can be an answer or an ordering, CoreXY seems to be definitely better. I'm thinking of building a next version of my 3d printer. Iby printman - CoreXY Machines

I found out that this option causes it: Slic3r -> Layers and Perimeters -> detect thin walls If it is unchecked then the gcode is not generated at all for walls thick like extrusion width. So either crippled gcode or none. I looked at Slic3r web and there is no new version for almost one year :-(by printman - Slic3r

I'm printing walls with 1mm gap between them. Every wall is 10x10x0.5 mm. Extrusion width is set to 0.5 mm. Walls are in line on X axis. So It prints as it would draw dashed line. I can see some extra movement of Y axis when the retraction is done before a gap. Y axis shouldn't move at all I would say. Do you have the same experience? Is it a feature or a bug of Slic3r app. ... G92 E0 G1 X114.by printman - Slic3r

Apparently not enough plastic going out of the nozzle. Calibrate your printer. Start with E-steps and infill. Slow down printing speed and check z-axis (move 100 mm and check that it was really 100 mm).by printman - Printing
Hi all! I'm playing with the settings of my printer (jerk and acceleration).

Thanks for the comment! I deal with the A. I've printed the tube shown in the picture. There are 2 parts (A) and (. (A) shows the tube printed with the Slic3r 'vase' settings.

Hi! I get the issues shown in the attached picture and I'd like to understand why they appears in my prints.

@Cristofolini: I print with the retraction length 3mm by default. Another tests: 1. - retraction length 10 mm or 0 mm - the blobs are still there 2. - the blobs can be removed only by slowing down the speed I think that the blobs appear because z feed rate is not the same as xy feed rate and Slic3r doesn't compensate it.by printman - Slic3r
Mmm, my quick tests show that even temperature doesn't help here. You can see that the hollow box doesn't have blobs in the corners, only on the one side where the hot end stops its motion and goes up to the next layer.by printman - Slic3r

My e-steps are correctly calibrated. The nozzle is 0.35 mm. I made several tests. 1. First image "blobs2_slic3r0.9.8.jpg" shows that the blobs don't depend on E-steps. 2. Second image "blobs3_slic3r0.9.8.jpg" shows that the blobs depend on speed. The greater speed, the more visible the blobs are.

Hi! I've tried to print small bridge (just 2 cubes with another lying on them). I set bridge speed to 200 mm/s (perimeters to 30 mm/s) in Slic3r 0.9.7. I would expect that all lines in the air are printed in 200 mm/s, but perimeters are printed slowly, perhaps in 30 mm/s (I can't say if it is perimeter speed).
