New type of extruder using a round heat cartridge. - 9 years ago

Came up with this idea a few minutes ago. I want to create a new type of extruder using a rounded heat cartrige that wraps around the heatbreak/nozzle. I'm not sure if my drawing does any just but I think you can get the idea. Thoughts? Possible ideas?

Re: How would I edit Marlin so Auto Level (G29) probes areas twice? - 9 years ago

Quotehercek If you do not understand C at least a bit then this post is not for you. Here is a patch which probes each point 5 times and uses results only from the middle 3 probes (ignoring the first and the last one). It would be better to ignore probes with the biggest and the smallest deviation but I did not bother in Marlin. I have that in Repetier though. You can modify the Marlin patch the

I want it to prob it, move up, then probe it again and take it's average. Can this be done?

Re: Concept: Large format Delta/Cartisian printer - 9 years ago

Quoteo_lampe I can't see the picture. The link is broken. I guess you want to print on a moving bed instead of a fixed one. Of course this would increase build volume. ( if you keep the bed moving only in x-direction you can print "endless") Print speed won't increase much as your extruder might be the limiting factor. I had a similar idea for "mass production", where the bed is more like a gia

Re: Concept: Large format Delta/Cartisian printer - 9 years ago

Quoten8bot QuoteMrMeeeseeeks Quoten8bot Interesting. The main problem is that there is no software to control this. Also, what would be the advantage for the added complexity? The software would be a challenge. It would be interesting peice of code. As for Advantages? Speed is the main idea. You could have the base plate move the left as the delta moves to the right, that kind of concept.

Concept: Large format Delta/Cartisian printer - 9 years ago

Came up with this idea 30 mintues ago and put this together. The idea is the Delta half would handle the fine movements and the Cartisian half would handle the coarse movements (XYZ). I beleive if this works we could increase print speeds as well. Let me know what you think! Imgur

Scaling Issue with XY. - 9 years ago

My prints come out exactly one 1mm short on both the X and Y. Z is perfect but I keep having to upscale my models to print at the correct scale. How do I actually fix this without having to modify each model I print? Running Marlin btw

Re: Auto-leveling/Probing issue. Video in description. - 9 years ago

Checked all the switches and they all work. I think you're on to something with the prob being sticky... It's not as responsive as it used to be. QuoteZedsquared Looks like a false trigger of the probe to me, you can see that it gets higher after a skipped probe. Check your switch wiring, if you have an LCD that gives live readout of Z probe state then try wiggling wires while nothing else is

Issues with fan turning off and on for first hour. - 9 years ago

I'm having a strange issue my RAMPS1.4 and my cooler fan. My printer seems to need to warm up(about an hour) before the fan stays on (using Sli3er and Pronterface) but using Simplify3D I have no issues at all with the fan. I just don't get it...My fan speeds in Sli3er is set to 100% and it is set to be always on. Also I can sometimes jump start the fan by giving it a little spin but doesn't al

Re: Bad print quality with Rostock Delta - 9 years ago

QuoteTehStranger Hello, As some of you may know I recently built an Original Rostock Delta machine and I finally got the levelling sorted out but the quality of the prints is quite bad. I think It's because of the printed arms I am using which is creating a lot of vibration/backlash. My hotend is an E3D clone, I'm also thinking it could be the source of the problem, well one of them anyway. I

This is the area where the extruder moves from one side to the other and from that I'm getting theses gaps(what I think it is). Anyone have an idea? The rest of the walls are perfect. Just this side.

Fan keeps turning on and off. - 9 years ago

Having a small fan issue which I think the problem is in my code. While printing my fan keeps turning off then turning back on (it seems to turns off when it changes layers). After it turns off I have to keep sending M106 to turn it back on. I want it to always be on but I think I don't have that declared in my code. Where whould I edit that? Running Marlin firmware. Edit: Also I've added t

Re: DELTA leveling issue. - 9 years ago

Attach a picture so I can get a better idea of what you're talking about. Is your bed bubbbled or something? How is it convex?

Re: DELTA leveling issue. - 9 years ago

Okay then it isn't 20mm away. In the Prointerface you need to manually move the nozzle away from the bed. Start with 1mm then .1mm. Keep a count of these values because you'll need them next. You know what the paper test is right? You'll controll that by using this:

Re: DELTA leveling issue. - 9 years ago

Okay. Go into your Config file and edit this value #define MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS 280 and add 10 to 280 making it 290. Re-run the first test. Report back if the nozzle is closer.

Nozzle dropping an extra .1mm when printing. - 9 years ago

So my Delta running Marlin is dropping an extra .1mm when printing making the nozle touch the bed. In calibration(G1 Z0) it passes the paper test, which is what's confusing me. Anyone have an idea what it could be? I was thinking its my Z probing data. Not sure, maybe one of you can help.
