Dan,

You might need to give us some additional information. Is this PLA or ABS? What size filament are you using? If I had the print you pictured I would be looking at anything that is...

I had problems with my Makerfarm similar to yours the first few months I had it. I solved the pull tension issue of the spool by setting it up with bearings. It spins with almost no effort at all. ...

Dan,

I can't tell much from the pulled filament, but a couple of things to check. First of all, make sure the little fan that cools the fins is actually running. It is very easy to damage the...

I have used them. Great prices even on small quantities. They ship 2nd day small package so the shipping can be more than the parts unless you plan out everything you want. I...

You can print a mount that will fit the E3D to the Bulldog.

This is a picture off the cad system. You will notice that the Bulldog lite installs with the hot end towards the front. The square hole in the back allows it to sit as far back as...

I have the Bulldog Lite driving an E3Dv6 1.75. I do use the PTFE tube. I didn't at first, but I believe that it is running better with it installed.

I am not using the fan base that came with...

Chadd,

I use S3D and it took me awhile to figure it out also. I set the initial height to 80% or 90% and the width to 90 or 100%. Higher, I get space between the first layer lines. I also run...

Thanks. Worked on it early this morning and found the issue. I got the Pi with a TFT monitor. I set up the Octopi image (without the camera attached the first time) and then added the recommended...

I am having a minor little problem. Maybe self induced...probably self induced. I got all excited about building my next Makerfarm about 6 months ago. I got all the parts including the Bulldog,...

I am still not in a position to evaluate the Bulldog XL. I got another MakerFarm in December but putting it together is not moving quickly. I did design and print a carrier for the Bulldog XL, but...

I could not do it in day. Maybe get a little closer the 2nd time, but still not a day. I think I worked about 14 hours the first day on the i3v. Still had at least 8 more the next day.

I refer to filament drag as anything which makes it harder to pull the filament off the spool. Includes spool turning drag and also the requirement for more pull as you get towards the center of the...

I have printed PLA that low and as high as 220. I tend to run higher with the E3d. You can adjust flow in the slicing programm or on the fly with LCD. Also, make sure you are not dragging the...

Maybe some more questions. Did you check the clearance (leveling) of the bed at locations near each corner? I use very thin paper and go for just a little drag on it. I also print a skirt like you...

I've had problems with two hexagons. I believe that the E3d will work with the standard MF mount. I printed a mount for mine because I hooked it to a Bulldog Lite. I have had very little trouble...

I have been reading through these posts and have ordered what appears to be necessary to set up the Raspberry Pi with Octopi. However, it is not clear to me if this eliminates the need for the kit...

I have had mixed results with Makerfarm filament. Two out of three worked well but one roll was wound so poorly that on most prints I had to stand by to make sure a tangle did not stop the process....

Zulfe,I am using it. Will not fit on the standard platform. I did a custom one. I am traveling right now but will try to post more information over the next few days.

Jim,

It appears that you are got pretty good results from changing the pattern and some additional from changing the infill percentage. Sometimes, when I have a problem, I do a big change and if...

Jim,

No worries. My thinking is that if the temperature prevents adhesion to the next lower level, then a longer run might exhibit more distortion than a shorter run would as it cools. You had...

Jim,

Just for experimentation, I would try setting it higher to see if that makes a difference. You would not have to print the complete part, just up to where it starts doing infill and see what...

I was curious what the infill settings are. If the infill is low, perhaps the layer is not adhering to the lower layer. This would be more evident on a longer run than a shorter run. It might even...

Roxy,

That was my plan. Is there a problem with running the servo without an additional 5volt circuit as Printbus indicates? I was hoping to clean things up with a Mean Well power supply. If...

If I understand the above correctly, you can't do ABL without a computer connection? I understood that one would be necessary to set up the ABL, but thought that once set up, it could all run from...
