Re: skipping extruder! - 8 years ago

Quotebgkdavis its fairly easy, in your config.g set the IP to 192.168.1.14, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the lines to change are marked in the config.g Then go to yur computers network settings and set you Iinternet protocol version 4 settings for your LAN port to fixed IP with an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. finally open your web browser, google chrome

Quotebgkdavis Direct connect it to your laptop using a regular network cable, make sure you set your config.g to fixed IP settings and laptops Ethernet settings to the same subnet. okay! will look in to this too! i remember i tried this thing in the beginning with the fisher but, just couldnt get it to work! bet theres a good guide somewhere just waiting for me to read it now though! is the diffe

Quotebgkdavis Your fisher should have a duet, dropkick Pronterface and do everything via the web interface,this way the duet is doing all the heavy lifting and your PC/Macbook is just a display interface It sure does have a duet! But I had some serious issues with my router since it's a really bad one, and I can't get it to work with the fisher unfortunately =/

Re: skipping extruder! - 8 years ago

Oh i think i might have found the issue! Not sure yet though, haven't been home yet to try! I used to run it through pronterface on my MacBook, but recently switched to and older pc I had laying around... Never had problems when I ran It with the MacBook! Gonna try when I come home to see the difference! If it works i guess it's the settings in arduino on my pc?

QuoteTheolodian Clean the hobbed insert. Calibrate the steps/mm on the extruder. Reduce the retraction speed. this sounds like a good idea! i did clean out the nozzle and the hobbed insert today but i have never calibrated the extruder motor! I thought about it before the printer was assembled, but i worked in the beginning with no problems so i kind of forgot about it, thanks for the answer!

QuoteGreg_be Hi, probably a incorrectly defined filament size. Check again at 5 places (along 50cm for example), drop the 2 extremes numbers and set the remaining average into the software. There can be much differences between spools even in one spool (depending on the quality) oh okay! will definitely try that as soon as i get home! but it doesn't explain why the thumbwheel print went perfect,

skipping extruder! - 8 years ago

hello! I'm having some problems with my extruder motor i think! first i thought it was a clogged nozzle, cleaned it out, started printing again, worked fine for the first layers... then the skipping began again! so i heated it up att about 220 Celcius and carefully manually "extruded" some filament, worked fine... back to printing, skipping after a layer or too! how can i get rid of this problem.

Re: Printing from pronterface! - 8 years ago

Quotedc42 Your internet service does not need to be working to use the web interface, and if your router does not support netbios then you can hard-code an IP address for the printer in config.g and then type that IP address into your browser address bar. However, it should be entirely possible to control the printer through Pronterface. The main thing you need to know is that sending G32 throug
