Thank you for the reply!
Ok, been away from forms for a while.
While printing various things I noticed that burned blobs of ABS were ending up in and on my prints. As I examined the Hexagon hot end I noticed that it is...
Hi All I have purchased the micro switch and servo that is referenced in the zenmaster videos and will be printing Clough42's cooling shroud and ABL parts soon. I quickly read through all 14 pages...
Thanks AbuMaia, Glad to here that I am not alone in keeping the temp high for more than just the first layer. I'll be trying another print today at the lower temp. I have calibrated the e steps (or...
Ok I have two basic questions here:
1. What settings do you use with ABS? I'm using a 3mm role of ABS I got from makerfarm, it is purple but looks pink when printed. The default was extruder at...
Turns out my glass was lower in the center of the bed, but it cracked all the way across yesterday so now I need to get some more, think I will look for something thicker this time. Only stuff I...
Yes, I have the default setup with the microswitches that I am homeing to, I have leveled it with a piece of paper. When I go to print the head lifts up about a mm above the glass
I'm using Slic3r, the older version that Colin recomends. With all the default settings. I am printing from SD card using the firmware that is loaded per the build guide.
I think you are saying...
I have autohomed and leveled the bed but when it goes to print an item it is two high and drops the plastic onto the bed.
optional question, how do I get it to drow that little border around what...
Any riskis with upgrading? Any new features upgrading?
if I open the config then slice it works. I thought the loading the config would be a one time thing.
Ok, sliced the 24mm cube to test my printer and it worked just fine. Next I wanted to print a knob for the lcd and I get error:
Can't call method "clone" on unblessed refrence . . . Print.pm line...
Congrats! Seems to be lots of us who have just bought these kits, Colin must be doing well. While I was building mine I noticed the 12" build guide got updated, looks like the bed is now coming...
Cube dimensions were right on at 24mm!
Finished! There were a few dark specks that seemed to come out of the extruder but other than that I think this is a decent looking first print. All I did was level the table. I think I need to...
First print underway! It is late and I just grabbed some of my wife's hairspray, corners look ok, i think one might be lifting, plan to get some purple gluestick, this is Garnier Sleek and Shine...
awesome, thanks guys.
So I am almost done with my build and have a question about bed leveling. Since all four corners have springs none of them are fixed, and if I choose one (say the back right side) and adjust the...
I have a question, I thought that ABL used the sensor to measure the height of the bed and then adjust the two z motors independently to compensate. However, I am hooking my z motors up and the "z...
So noob question, does octoprint or the ramps/rumba boards have a way to store profiles? So that you can tweak the settings for ABS and save them and then set one for PLA and be able to switch? Or...
did you do the steps in sequence so that the electronics were only hooked to the thremister and the heater or did you come back to this step once you had all the other electronics hooked up? Was you...
Ok, this next step has me a little nervous. I just finished assembling the extruder and now the directions tell me to hook the rumba board up tot he heater and the thermister in the hot end and...
Awesome, it is to bad I don't smoke these are the times where passing out cigars would make sense, lol.
I don't see the hole for the screw that triggers the contact switch or the hole for bolting the plywood in the middle into those 4 slots.
