They have REALLY improved this site since my last visit.

Last time I was on there tried a few models, and none of them came out good. Infact 2 of the 4 I tried came out worse than when they went...

All of the other parts printed just fine.

230c(ish) for nozzle
75 then drop to 60 for HBP.
Wanna slow it down like ya normally would with PLA....2400-2600mm/min or so is good for most stuff.

Help me find my phone and I will get right on that lmao......

Its one of those days I tell ya, about to take my tail back to bed till its tomorrow.

So...what the hell are you supposed to do when your calibration block shows signs of both under & over extrusion lol.....

edit:
I so should have kept my mouth shut about the humidity being down...

I typically take 4 messurement tests per 1Kg roll of material. Each test is done over 1 meter of filament with 40 messurments taken and averaged.
edit: to clarify a bit, I take readings at 20 spots...

Ok, so sailfish does not store those things in the firmware...but it does use gcode correct?
Then why is giving cgode commands directly to the machine only an option with marlin?

If the only...

Gotta say, after having 4 drivers go out, the mobo go out, and the HBP lead go out...all in the first year (10months actually) of purchasing the machine....I am kinda envious of those machines with...

The box method is for tuning the multiplier.....if it has to be adjusted to much that means the extruder needs tuned.

What I need to do is have the machine extrude 100mm of material, and then be...

For those of you using S3D, do you use 'auto' or 'manual' Extrusion Width (right under the multiplier in extrusion settings)?

Does anyone have good guide for extruder calibration for version of...

Got a fresh sticker, using plenty of glue stick, and...

The feeders are still at default, what is 127 iirc.

Found the culprit, was the feed carriage. DO NOT print feed carriages from ABS!!!
Still not exactly sure what happened, but seems like the...

230c is my typical ABS temp.

I live in south Texas man, right on the coast. My numbers are usually a little bit of the 'norms' that most are using. It's because its SO damn humid here.....70%...

It is not the same issue....
Thought I posted about that, maybe not though. Last time it turned out that I replaced the driver with another blown driver that got mixed in with my spares. But that...

Break it up into file folders.

I have a little over 6GB of files (on 8GB SD card) that is all the prototypes for my online shop.

When I put that card in the machine there is 6 folders to choose...

So, finally get some material to work with, even some potential orders if I can get some prototypes done.

Of course I can't get the machine to print to save my life.

Running some Maker ABS on...

Here is my door clips....super simple but work like a champ.

For cleaning PTFE tubes I would suggest getting...

To take the extruder carriage off the trolly there are 2 screws on the underside....but ya dont need to do that in order to get the PTFE tube out.

Use the pre-heat function on the machine to heat...

I just need one for now...cant find any singles for under $8
Qidi sells em on ebay for $3, but the wait....

Trying to find a place in US to get em on reg basis.

Anyone know a good spot to get PVC stickers for cheap that is in USA??

Got something I need to get done, don't really have time to wait for a sticker from Qidi. I looked around a bit but I see...

Stringing is not really that big a deal. Sometimes ya just gotta live with a bit if everything else is looking good.

Strings are also about the most easy printing defect to remove post-print. Go...

I feel really dumb today......

Been using those shoddy USB card-readers for loading things onto SD card for the printer.
Totally forgot that an old WMS pc thats been in my closet for years has an...

Very nice, I bet your nozzles will get to operating temp much faster.
How much did ya pay for the goop?

Pretty much just to back filament out.
But it really was not designed with releasing tension at all, that is just the nature of a spring-loaded tension arm.
