Do you know how to adjust the current on your stepper drivers? Sounds like they're skipping steps, a common and typically easily fixable issue. Turn the pots about 1/16 turn, clockwise, at a time until skipping stops.by MrDoctorDIV - Printing
Great, I use Slic3r as well so it'll be easier to guide you. --No, I exclusively use PLA. Blue painter's tape and 51C heated bed.by MrDoctorDIV - Printing
EEPROM mode is simply a state of change. If the EEPROM numbers are different between configuration.h and EEPROM then the EEPROM is overridden with the new settings. If they are the same, the EEPROM is read instead of the configuration.h. Look up the EEPROM Trap to learn more.by MrDoctorDIV - Repetier
Either over the entire print if it's big enough, or if it's like most small ones, right where it's printing. My fan has a ring around the entire extruder it blows out.by MrDoctorDIV - Repetier
Alrighty, thanks for the reply. Just looking at the options I have for reducing wires; possibly, but highly unlikely I might make the printer body the grounding like in vehicles. If I do take this option it will be for only a few items, tested one at a time.by MrDoctorDIV - Developers
Not just plain holes. I'm talking keeping the technology of the inkjet , but making a nozzle/inkjet 2-in-1.by MrDoctorDIV - Developers
255 oz-in X and 156 oz-in Y are my motors, both at 3A. But again, let's not hijack this guy's thread.by MrDoctorDIV - General
I wouldn't buy from there even if you gave me a good review. If you were US, I'd be all over MatterHackers, but shipping I believe is $23 to EU. Best of luck, make sure you look up reviews outside of their own site before you buy.by MrDoctorDIV - Reprappers
If you want to stick with Marlin, I can't be of much help. But if you're willing to switch to Repetier then you can make whatever changes you could ever need with their configuration tool.by MrDoctorDIV - Developers
Last I knew machining isn't that precise. Imagine the bottom of an inkjet cartrige, the holes that the ink comes out of, spread around the inner, bottom of the FDM hole. I'll draw something up and let you see.by MrDoctorDIV - Developers
Change your extrusion width, if your steps per mm are accurate, don't touch those anymore. By what your describing you'll have to lower it quite a bit, I'd say bring it down to 0.6. What slicer are you using?by MrDoctorDIV - Printing
You can upgrade your firmware at the same time with Repetier's fancy configuration tool. Grab your old configuration.h file from the old firmware and use the fancy step/mm calculator to find the new numbers to input. You will get new firmware in the process. Make sure you change the EEPROM so that the settings are fully transcribed.by MrDoctorDIV - Reprappers
So what is the most rigid, or best kind of linear motion?by MrDoctorDIV - General
If it bounces, doesn't that mean the weight is off center? Would centering the weight at least help that? What about placing the rods vertical to eachother?by MrDoctorDIV - General
I've always been too lazy and just make GIFs with MS Paint.by MrDoctorDIV - Reprappers
So I should be fine with 12mm rods and NEMA 23's right? I've thought about open ended bearings and supports on the bottom, but that would entail more cost and more complexity.by MrDoctorDIV - General
I'm in agreement with those saying it's bad PLA, I've had mine stored in all kinds of ways and never had an issue. Supplier more likely than anything. Where do you buy it from? Personal preference is MatterHackers. Decent prices and the best customer service I've come accross in the 3D printing world.by MrDoctorDIV - Reprappers
I used to have that on my Solidoodle, then I started playing with settings and nearly elimated those while still maintaining the same print speed . Material variety is a must, so direct drive it stays. Maybe amongst my future upgrades I'll make a quick switchable direct/bowden. Or direct main + bowden support materialby MrDoctorDIV - General
This has me rethinking my entire thought of direct vs bowden.. So there is no real reason to go direct?by MrDoctorDIV - General
As I understand it, you can have multiple positives and a single negative to run different things on the same circuit, even with different currents and voltages. Can this be done with circuitry? Could I, for example, wire all of the end stop negatives to the same terminal, so long as the positives are in the respective terminals?by MrDoctorDIV - Developers
Quoterandyf1965 The extruder gap is measured with everything cold. After heating the extruder and bed there should be a ZERO gap That's why it never made sense to me! One more thing cleared up for me..by MrDoctorDIV - Printing
Before reading this I had no idea what tube notching was, so I may be far, far off the mark when I ask: Wouldn't something like this be easier to make?by MrDoctorDIV - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
There's a really small size limit on pictures..by MrDoctorDIV - Reprappers
Thank you. After playing with numbers and features in Misumi, I have a frame that's not only cheaper, but easier and probably more sturdy.by MrDoctorDIV - General
QuoteThe EEPROM Trap The trick is quite simple. The first byte in EEPROM is compared with the EEPROM_MODE value. If it has a different value, the values in your „Configuration.h“ are copied to EEPROM and byte 0 is set to the mode. Nevermind, I should really research before asking every question.by MrDoctorDIV - Repetier
It works! So that leads to another question: Two EEPROM sets, does that mean that I can now not change anything? I have further plans for this build in the future. Thanks much, glad to have Repetier on my M3, I wouldn't have it any other way. You guys do too good work.by MrDoctorDIV - Repetier
Ah, now there's something I know nothing about in any form or another. What is EEPROM? And, apparently, how does that affect baud rate? Also- I've only tried one other baud rate, not as my first one. The one shown was my first and has been used all but one time.by MrDoctorDIV - Repetier
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have wires from the ceiling, but not bellow, your head will bounce/be pushed up and jumble around if it ever touches a part too high. If you have it like they do in the video, you will not be able to print the room's width, as the wires will collide.by MrDoctorDIV - Delta Machines
