Re: Opinions on ABS issue... - 9 years ago
Looks ok to me. I'm running Bedtemp@100, hotend@230 ABS slurry over Kapton. ABS benifits from a closed in enclosure for best resaults. I'm also using raft instead of brim but I must confess that I like the print around the edges. What settings are you using? I have a .4 nozzle @ 0.3 layer height, running at 40mm/sby GRAYWOLF - Printing
Re: Removing a +1mm over size scale. - 9 years ago
QuoteIMBoring25 If you're still running Marlin there should be one or more instances of #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT in Configuration.h. The matrix that follows will define steps per mm for X, Y, Z, and Extruder axes. Thanks alot dudeby GRAYWOLF - General
Re: Removing a +1mm over size scale. - 9 years ago
Ok I'm lost, I can't find the settings. are they in Configuration.h or a different file?by GRAYWOLF - General

Re: Removing a +1mm over size scale. - 9 years ago
Quoteo_lampe When I measured a test cube, I always got more than one size. Differing from eg. 19.678 to 20.123mm You´re saying 21mm. Period. That sounds unrealistic to me. You should use a caliper to measure. If there really is a constant 5% error in scale you only have to reduce the steps/mm in Marlin FW for x,y,z by 5% and you´re done. -Olaf Yup digital calipers, Ozznest kit really is that gby GRAYWOLF - General
Removing a +1mm over size scale. - 9 years ago
Am I just trying to hard? I just ran the 20mm test cube test and it came out at 21mm. I'm running an Ooznest Prusa i3 and wondering how to calibrate the printer/cura to remove the +1mm overscale.by GRAYWOLF - General
Re: How far should print head be from glass? - 9 years ago
Quotegmh39 Approximately the thickness of a sheet of paper. That depends on the size of the paper! General distance is that if a piece of paper is very lightly ripped between the bed and nozzle then thats the correct distance.by GRAYWOLF - General

Re: Rotary 3D printer? - 9 years ago
Going to hijack this as I saw a vid of a rotory 5D metal printer and started thinking of your project. I wonder if anything on it could be translated to your design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKnlmfuMSgoby GRAYWOLF - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Re: Filing parts without leaving a mark - 9 years ago
First rule of files NEVER back file, Always use the file in one direction and when you reach the end of the stroke, lift the file, and put the file back on the piece on the start of the file! After you have cleaned it up (and have the dreaded white dust everywhere then use something like the acetone vapour bath afterwards. DON"T use a Dremel, they are too fast and too aggressive on ABS. Are theby GRAYWOLF - General

Re: Auto bed level techniques and questions - 9 years ago
Have you checked the distance between the carriage and the underside of the heat bed? I just had a problem with the autolevel under adjusting because the bed screws had all come loose!by GRAYWOLF - General
(UK) Need some rubber printed. - 9 years ago
I'm working on a lightsaber project and need some bits printed in black rubber (or what ever the rubbery material is) This is the Project. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35120 What I need printed is Body3 and ribs. Is anyone set up to print these out and how much? BTW: Sorry but out of touch for the next weekby GRAYWOLF - Job Shop: I need stuff made!
Re: Full size sword project for my nephew - 9 years ago
Cool work there with that sword but one complaint, it needs to be scaled down and the real thing is not nearly so big. The hand guard is slightly bigger then the hand and the blade should be around 24-36" long. Don't let my negativity get you down as I am not able to make such a nice looking weapon.by GRAYWOLF - Look what I made!
White Spots normal? - 9 years ago
Prusa i3 +silver ABS filament. Just printed out this part and was sanding it smooth and came across this I'm sure the white spots are abs dust from the sanding filling up tiny hole but it leads me to the question. Are the tiny hole the by product of printing?by GRAYWOLF - Printing

Re: Strange x axis shift - 9 years ago
Just to add another variable to this equation. Is the head secure in the extruder mount? My Hexagon was doing this until I put a shim in the mount to stop the movement.by GRAYWOLF - Printing
