Extruder lacking consistency - 9 years ago
I've got a FolgerTech 2020 I3 and recently started printing with it. The first things that I started to print were some verification/calibration shapes and I noticed that the walls aren't smooth, they have little diagonal waves going through them and the walls themselves aren't consistent in width. Any pointers to what the problem could be is appreciated! Here are two pictures to show what I meanby Tidsuo - Prusa i3 and variants
Axis Whine - 9 years ago
So I finally got my Folger Tech 2020 I3 assembled. An issue that I came across is that when I Home the system and it finishes homing the Z axis emits a loud whine. This also happens for any axis after it finishes moving to a position although the Z axis is the loudest/highest tone. The sounds eventually stop but sometimes they only stop after turning it off or pressing E-stop in Repetier. After lby Tidsuo - Prusa i3 and variants

After looking around a bit more today I came across another Prusa I3 by Afinibot Link, has anyone had experience with this printer or this manufacturer? Off topic from my first question but with the Prusa printers is expanding the printing bed size a matter of extending the axis rods and changing some values in the printers code telling it how big the area is?by Tidsuo - Prusa i3 and variants
First 3D Printer Decision - 9 years ago
Hello all! I am very new to the field of 3D printing and was hoping that I could get some pointers as to what I should look for for my first printer. I originally thought of getting a pre-assembled printer but they seem to be on the expensive side. Then I stumbled upon RepRaps. I have looked at many different types of printers and I think the Prusa I3 type is the best for a beginner like me. Fby Tidsuo - Prusa i3 and variants
