Hey everyone, I wanted to make sure you all new about the contest Printed Solid and I are running. You could win 43 spools of filament if you have an interesting firmware hack. Check it out here! There is still time to enter.by brotherchris - Competitions
Torb, The simulator would be a great tool to have. I know very little about how to create it, but I am sure a developer could work it out fairly easily. The adjustable anchor points is something I have talked about with a lot of people. I don't think it would be very difficult to do. Like you said, I think we could just pause, reset the points then update the eeprom. I am planning on movingby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Hey Torb, I have a hangprinter update. I made this really cool full scale barstool. It came out pretty good. I learn a lot about how the hangprinter does things over the 14 days the print was running. Have a look and let me know what you think. I plan on maybe doing a full set later this year. Video: Find me on youtube:by brotherchris - Hangprinter
I wish I could more than anything. It's just to far. Is there going to be any of these sessions recorded we can watch later?by brotherchris - Hangprinter
Hey Torbjorn, The guide looks great! I really like the template for the top plate as well. I hope to try some of the new zip tie parts on a future build. I have been working on some really large prints, but haven't had time to share them as of late. To many projects, to little time. I watched the Sweden 3D meet up video Tom put out. Great to see the improvements. The printer you had there lookedby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Hey Torbjørn, Hang printer v3 corrections came out today. I think I covered all the issues I have encountered. I do plan on checking out all of your new 3D printed parts in the future. As always, if there is anything I missed or anything you would like me to cover just let me know. Happy to help. Chris youtube.com/ChrisRileyby brotherchris - Hangprinter
@Alandaeta Go with Torb on this one.by brotherchris - Hangprinter
@Alandaete I don't want to overstep here, because I am relatively new to the hang printer myself. I am sure Torb will get back to you soon, but here is what I would do. I would slide your power and board over to the right, bring your A spool down a little. Wrap your A spool clockwise and your B and C counter clockwise. Just my two cents. Hope this helps.by brotherchris - Hangprinter
Ha ha ha, that is exactly how it felt! Good to know on the gcode, I will give it a try.by brotherchris - Hangprinter
Torb, Enabled Z lift and things are much better. I found out my falling issue, I had a G1 Z5 in my end gcode thinking it would lift it 5mm, it would not, that tries to take it to 5mm, my bad. I changed it to G6 D-10. So this smoke stack is a little messy but not bad. Still working on a better wiring setup. I have to say I have been working on getting good prints on the Hang printer for a whileby brotherchris - Hangprinter
I was moving pretty fast on that print, 40mm a second. I am trying again now at 20mm. I am not sure what happened. I bumped the idle motor time up to 300, it was at 60 we will see if that solves it.by brotherchris - Hangprinter
@Tobben I am not sure why it fell. I went back and checked my gcode out this morning and there is nothing in there that would have shut it off. I am using the hang printer firmware. I am definitely going to enable z lift and try again tonight. I'll take a look at that setting in configuration_adv as well. benchy gcode here: @Alandaeta Let me do some math on that and get back to you. I haveby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Well, I am super excited that I got a print out, but I still need a few tweaks. This was a 300% scale benchy with a 0.8mm nozzle. The layers started to shift because the lines got slack, but I think I see where the mis calibration caused this. The printer catches on the model as well. It might be a calibration issue, but have you tried Z lift on the hang yet? Then when the print was done, it fellby brotherchris - Hangprinter
The heavier/shorter wire solved the issue. Now I am going to try to integrate that in to the design. I want to test the poly fuse issue as well.by brotherchris - Hangprinter
Cool, I will try a few things and report back. Chrisby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Thank you Torb, I will get this fixed up and get a video out soon. I am having a heater issue, after the motors start moving the heat dives way down. I think it's and issue with the ribbon cable. I am going to try a heavy wire to resolve the issue. Chrisby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Hey Torb, The calibration video is up. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Chrisby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Thank you, I have never had good luck with glue but with you as my sherpa I will try again.by brotherchris - Hangprinter
Thanks for the explanation. Here is a link to the first v3 print vid. It made it about 130mm before I had a motor skip and I had a layer shift. Probably mis calibration on my part. The first 130mm look way better than I expected, very nice print. In my firmware it looks like line build up is commented out, is that the new default? Or should I turn it on and calibrate it? I am still doing some tby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Torb, In the Tom live stream the AY and the CX values were negative. Can you explain to me why that is the case? Chrisby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Thanks for checking it out. I have already shelled one of the power supplies. I will give the 12A one a try. Chrisby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Hey Torb, please check this video out and let me know if I missed anything. I should have it printing this week sometime. The only thing I am going to change as of now is motor orintation, but that will just be a motor cable swap. Thanks, Chrisby brotherchris - Hangprinter
That works, thanks! I was just curious on how you figured the sanity check out, but it looked like on the live stream you just figured out the math yourself.by brotherchris - Hangprinter
Torb, Can you recommend a link to a calc to make the sanity measurements a little quicker? Thanks, Chrisby brotherchris - Hangprinter
It's alive! I should be up and printing soon, but everything is mounted and moving. Hang v3by brotherchris - Hangprinter
The build begins... I have the mover and extruder all together. A note for the US builders, Lowe's stores have 5/8" square poplar stock. If you scale the mover parts up 2% they fit perfect. Now I am just waiting on some V groove bearings and I should be ready to go. I should have most of the top plate together this week. I am going to attempt to use the Prusa extruder design. If I can get his woby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Well, I am sad to say, but it's time to let the v2 go. After many hours of testing, I have seen the light during Tom's live streams and have to move on to v3. It's too cool to pass up. Goodbye v2. Thanks Torbjorn and Tom, the live streams are awesome. Tom's first hang live streamby brotherchris - General
Hey Torb, I think I am ready to start building a v3. I have pretty much everything ready to go I think. Except: Mechaduino optional addon 4 x Mechaduino PCB More than 20 jumper wires (if Mechaduinos) 5V->3V3 level converter for i2c usage (if Mechaduinos) Tmc2130SilentStepStick addon A few more jumper wires Would you recommend or can I go without these items to get started? I would guess thby brotherchris - Hangprinter
Sorry if I spoiled the surprise Tom is the man. Let him know I have been working hard. Ha ha ha. I ask him questions often on his live streams. Good luck guys!by brotherchris - General
