The file in that Google Drive folder is called FTECH-2020-i3-Repetier-Slicer-PLA&ABS.zip I strongly recommend dropping the temps for PLA. The presets are too high, they should be ~200c, but actual temp depends on the actual filament quality.by The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
Well, I have gotten some progress with setting up my printer. I am still having problems with the extruder motor, it's making a clunk-clunk noise (vref ~0.550v). I think my extruder nozzle may be clogged, and these are my first 2 prints of a 10mm cube. I switched from the folgertech sample to some white hatchbox PLA. I am using modified FTech presets for the print (dropped the temp to 195c anby The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
Yea, I took the assembly apart last night to see if maybe something was stuck in there. But, looking at it from the front, the left side is empty, the center has the gear, and the right side has the grooved bearing. So, I had a question about the print bed area. I got a sheet of 8"x8"x1/8" borosilicate glass, and using binder clips (like I've seen in pictures of other printers) I can't get a fby The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
Quoteanimoose Does the filament come out? Earlier in this forum, I described some problems I had because the extruder was assembled differently to how it is shown in the manual. What do you mean by a binding noise? No, the filament only goes through if I force it down. The gear doesn't seem to want to grab the filament or push it into the gap between the aluminum block and the gear box. The nby The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
Hi all, I managed to finish putting my printer together and made it to the config portion about extruding. I have my E motor set to 0.317 and it just makes a binding noise. It won't grab the filament and pull it in, it just kinda vibrates. The only way I have been able to get the filament down to the heater block was by pushing it. Is there anything I can do to fix it?by The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
Yea, I guess I was expecting it to cut the power to the stepper to keep it from ramming into the end stop rather than just let it... I'm still learning though. Glad I went with a kit over a prebuilt.by The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I have been having problems with my Z axis binding on one side and going uneven. My X whenever I hit the home button in repetier moves a little bit to the right and stops, it will also just keep ramming the endstop (the light on the endstop turns on) I have to keep hitting home to get it all the way over and then it wont accept any more commands.by The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
Man, I'm having all kinds of issues with this kit. One of my lower frame pieces is the wrong size and the bed bearing holders are just terrible. The bed doesn't move smoothly and bends the rods out of shape. Could someone please post the exact measurements for each of the components on the 2 375mm beams? The only thing that had an exact measurement was the upper frame.by The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
So, I'm getting my kit today and I've read both the guides. But the guide for the older kit includes something about stepper motor driver tuning. Is that not needed with the new kit, or what?by The7ank - Prusa i3 and variants
