Re: Periodic patterns on outer shell - 7 years ago

I have the same problem also. I tried changing; the Smoothie board with new one (new drivers) Extruder motor Dampers on X and Y motors the Smoothie stepping from 1/32 to 1/16 printing speed (low speed) However, the problem is continues!

MKS SBASE - Hotend2 doesn't work! - 8 years ago

Hi, I have the MKS SBASE v1.3 and I have it working fine for the first hotend. For the life of me, I can't get the setup for the second hotend to work. Have you (or anyone on this thread) got dual/multi-extrusion working on this board? I have a temperature reading of 38.5C on the second termistor input (regardless if anything is connected). The power mosfet LED for the E2 doesn't light up eithe

MKS Base v1.3 - 0.9 Degree Stepper Motor - 8 years ago

Hi, I am a MKS Base v1.3 user. I use 42BYGHM809 Nema17 0.9 degree stepper motors for X-Y-Z axes. I want my 3d printer to print lower resolution and be faster. However, I read an article, is using 0.9 degree motors in MKS Base v1.3 sensible? Or, what should I do/change in MKS firmware (attached)?

Re: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Noise - 8 years ago

Quotedc42 Read all of my response, not just the first 4 words. One of my printers uses 16x microstepping, no dampers, and has no enclosure. It produces the "music", which is normal for this design of printer. The other is virtually silent while printing, apart from the fans, since I switched it to 256x microstepping. Again it has no dampers or enclosure. Your DRV8825 drivers are limited to x32

Re: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Noise - 8 years ago

Quotedc42 Quotecagtag ...but there is also sound (like a music) when extruder print a circle shape. I listen to Zortrax, Makerbot and Ultimaker, there is no sound when printing. Why? What are their boards, motors or motor drive? That sound is entirely normal unless you either use stepper drivers with very high microstepping (e.g. 256x which is what I use), or you use dampers and soundproofing wh

Re: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Noise - 8 years ago

Quotedc42 I think the problem may be that the MKS SBASE uses DRV8825 drivers, which are known to be noisy with low-inductance motors when configured in fast decay mode, especially when using higher supply voltages. But I don't know whether the MKS SBASE does configure the drivers in fast decay mode. See for more. I looked at the website (http://cabristor.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/drv8825-missing-s

Printing Problem with Cura 2.3.1 - 8 years ago

I have another problem about speed. I wanted to print "turbinehousing2_repaired.stl" , but wall collapsed and diameter 0.1mm smaller due to wall speed. I printed the same object with Cura 15.04.6 and same wall speed, the wall was perfect. I think that I miss some settings in Cura 2.3.1.

How I continued 3D Printing after a power cut? - 8 years ago

Hi! I found some 3D Printers that could continue to print when power on. However, could you tell me how to achieve this function use smoothieboard for my cartesian printer? I think if smoothieboard could remember the gcode and it's print line before power off, we can do it? I found this page and this page when I googled it.

Re: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Noise - 8 years ago

Yes, my motor is 0.9 degree. Which values should be double? QuoteDust they are using 0.9 degree steppers not 1.8 degree, this all values are approximately double " I use Stepper Motor - 68 oz.in (400 steps/rev)."

MKS Base v1.3 - Z Switch triggered and system offline - 8 years ago

Hi, I am using MKS Base v1.3 board and my config file is below. I used Ramps 1.4 board and when I do home Z and after goes to Z switch location for level calibration (zero point to bed) ramps stoped me to more goes up to nozzle. However, MKS Base stop the system when I do level calibration and I must the power off and on or send M999 gcode. I think there is a problem with config file. # NOTE

Re: Extruder/Nozzle Clogging Problem - 8 years ago

Quotefrankvdh Quotecagtag If I print 10mm above the bed, there is no problem. I tried it. OK, so the problem isn't in the extruder or hot-end. What kind of printer do you have? How are you setting the nozzle height? Are you using auto-leveling? How flat is your bed? ("Level" refers to the plane of the bed... it should be in the same plane as the nozzle moves. "Flat" refers to variations in t

Hi, I have a model to check the quality of printer. You can see the model in this link: I have some questions to print quality: - Which should I use type of filament? (ABS, PLA, etc.) - Which should I use diameter of the nozzle? (I have 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 diameter nozzles.) - Which should I set the slicer options? (speed, temperature etc.) - Which should I use the slicer program? (I use Cura.

Extruder/Nozzle Clogging Problem - 8 years ago

Hi, I have problem with my extruder. I can extrude filament before printing, but when I start to print and nozzle touches a little the bed, extrusion stops or extruder is clogged. Then, I can retract the filament uneventfully and extrude again the same filament, no problem. Additionally, sometimes drive gear crushes the filament because of clogging of the nozzle, so I retract it and cut it. My

Hi everyone, I changed gamma_min_endstop 1.28^ to gamma_min_endstop nc and sensor didn't stop. Sensor works fine. Extruder must go to 3 points in my cartesian printer. It goes to first point well and sensor reads. Then, although it goes to second point, sensor doesn't read and goes to third point. When it comes to third point, sensor reads once and Z axis stops. Then, command window writes: &g
