Hoping someone's seem this before, here's what my current print results look like.

The stepper motors are making an unusual amount of stuttering,...
Added to my project list - thankd DaveB!
I recently discovered a couple of fanless power supplies that I had squirreled away for a different project which appear perfectly suited for this...
I've only paused from the control panel on the Qidi, that works flawlessly.
Thanks for the tip DaveB. I'm looking at this widget:

The advantage of an all metal hotend I understand is the...
I would like to print some abrasive filaments SteelFill and CF PETG. What would you guys recommend - is there a suitable nozzle swap or should I look at an all metal hotend?
Here are two options...
Did you ever check temps without the fan? I sourced me a fanless power supply :).
I often run without side panels for PLA and add them back on for ABS. Here's how I ended up routing mine:

Looking good! Can you share your basic profile settings?
I've been itching to try printing some wood like stuff. Have you tried any others and does it require changing nozzles or anything?
That seems to have been the culprit, although it appeared fine upon inspection.
Thanks very much whirlybird! Any tips on avoiding re-replacement? Maybe it's time to breakdown and print the...
Here's a new one for me I'm hoping someone can help with. The printer stopped responding in the x-axis mid-print, leaving a solid extruded line in the y-axis and no longer responding to machine jog...
Sounds like some sweet upgrades. I've been considering a fanless power supply.
This has been my experience as well. I've tried a dozen types of filament including many rolls of PETG, ABS, TPU, and PLA and the MG Raptor PLA is my favorite so far. Great detail, nice finish,...
Awesome tree, love the use of loose filament strands. I had not seen that before. Can you share the source/file? It seems like those single strands would gunk up on the hot head from time to time,...
I did have the filament size set in Simplify3D. I've printed this design, even the same file on the SD card, with success multiple times using a few different makes of PLA.
Setting the speed...
Filament is at 1.71mm and the feed rate is down to 35 mm/s and x/y axis speed 50 mm/s. In the above print the temp was at 215C, I usually run 195C on PLA and upped the temp in 5C increments and kept...
I'm having a reoccurring issue that I could use a little help troubleshooting.
The print starts off fine and the first few layers look great, but at some point the infill gets all fubar like this...
I've printed a few rolls of PETG and it can be difficult to remove any stray bits of support or imperfections. It binds so well. The majority of supports break clean free, but if you have...
