Quoteflatlander QuoteUltiFix If I increase my speed to 90mm/s do I need to change other settings? Have you guys changed the acceleration speed in the firmware? Probably jerk and acceleration, if you really want that speed. If you have smooth sweeping bends the machine may see those speeds without changing jerk and acceleration. Can our little machines take the punishment? For the most part theby UltiFix - Prusa i3 and variants

Quoteflatlander QuoteUltiFix How many spring tensioners do you guys add to your belt before you re tighten it manually? Too soon to tell, but at some point the belt length will be too stretched and the belt teeth won't align with the pulley teeth. Do you reccomend I buy new belts in advance?

I was printing in abs, then pla (Which might be low quality). And now my abs prints are not sticking... Should I clean my glass with isoprpyl alcohol? Never done it before, so I might have a lot of gunk on there.by UltiFix - Prusa i3 and variants
Quoteiamquestar QuoteTenny QuoteDaveA Check out the Folger Tech 2020 i3 Wiki at There is a section on auto bed leveling. If you're using Marlin firmware I believe you must have the X axis end stop on the left or the software will no behave correctly. So is it a bug or something? I mean X-homes correctly.

QuoteCheopisIV QuoteUltiFix Is the bowden extruder working out well? What kind of board is it? The z is working well with only 1 motor? The printer is working fantastic. The board is an MKS all in one and I'm running Marlin on it rather than the default Repetier Firmware they ship with.

Quoteiamquestar QuoteUltiFix Has anybody here upgraded to bowden? And is it worth it? I did. It was not worth it IMHO. My goal was to lighten the hotend, to increase speed. I haven't been happy with some of the high speed tests I've done, so I'm still printing at the same rate. In addition, I had to mess with feed rate and retraction settings A LOT to get back to where I am reasonably happyby UltiFix - Prusa i3 and variants

What would it take for me to be able to print at 100mm with decent quality on my folger? Or is that totally out of the ballpark? Or is it just a matter of cranking up my print speed to 100mm, do i need to change the feed rate?by UltiFix - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotejhitesma QuoteUltiFix Lately I have been printing everything at 0.2mm, im using the stock extruder and hotend... Should I change it? Im using cura Layer height? 0.2 should be good Prusa has a calculator that helps you figure out optimal layer heights based on your z screws: For extrusion width 0.2 would be WAY too narrow. But like I said I don't use cura because I can't get it to do siby UltiFix - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotejhitesma Quoteflatlander One my gotchas has to do with "sane defaults." It's where the extrusion volume is reduced on the perimeter so the object looks 'pretty.' I think all of our slicers are using this to some degree.

I have been succesfully printing on my folger for awhile and now the z axis makes annoying screeching noises... Can I use WD-40 on the threaded rod? I have autolevel if that makes any difference. I did some googling around and it looks like lithium grease (I guess that collects dirt fast, so people are using motor oil instead) for the threaded rods, and silicon grease for the rods...
