Have you tried hair spray? Some folks use that. I don't because I assume I'll end up with hair spray build up everywhere.
I had slic3r raising my nozzle about 2 mm before every print. I switched to Matter Control. Better interface and consistent prints.
Hi folks. I've been having an issue with my 2nd layer not sticking to my first. I contacted the manufacturer (I don't want to name him in case there's just a simple misunderstanding, I don't want to...
It turns out that when I calibrated my extruder, I should have used a caliper that measured in mms. I was using a non-metric caliper and converting. I suspect the conversion was causing an inaccurate...
I don't know, but I hate to see a question go unanswered. Maybe this will spur discussion.
Have you tried a different slicer? Do these gaps happen with any other file?
You can use alcohol to wipe it down. Have you tried that?
I don't know if it'll work, but I attached a zoomed in version of the above image. I'll hotlink one as well. ...
I've always seen pla temps listed as 180-220. I've tried 206 and didn't see a difference. I typically print 2-3 bottom and 3 top layers. The layer pictured is the 2nd or 3rd layer of a 100% infill...
I threw away the print so I can't take another picture of the bottom. The bottom is mostly solid, with some areas where the lines don't connect. I can't remember the thickness of the feeler gauge I...
I think you're right, I'm still having slight under-extrusion issues. I don't want a perfectly flat top, well, yes I do but don't expect it haha. What you're seeing is the 2nd or 3rd layer on a 100%...
Hi folks. I've searched the wisdom that is google and am still at a loss.
I'm printing with a Prusa iv3 10".
I have calibrated and adjusted my extruder
.40 nozzle printing at 194 on a...
Hi folks. I'm working with a MakerFarm Prusa iV3. I want to calibrate my extruder but everything I've read seems to need the printer connected to a computer. I don't have one connected. Is there a...
Did you ever resolve this? I was having a similar issue and almost every bolt on my printer had worked lose over the last 2 years or so. I'm curious as to what you found.
After looking at your pictures, yeah, check the bolts. The odd pattern looks like waves in sand. That tells me it's a vibration thing, cyclical. That could be cause by lose bolts.
I have a 10 iV3. I had a totally different issue and I solved it just last night, maybe you should try it? I found pretty much EVERY critical bolt on my printer had worked lose in the last 18 months...
Thanks Roxy.
I'd sure appreciate that. Does the jaw open? Where can I d'load the file?
So it's not just me then huh?
My wife is preparing a class on anatomy, specifically, joints, for our home-school group. I did a quick search and didn't find anything. What we're looking for specifically, is a hinge joint (think...
Thanks for the reply diamond black. Here's my thoughts on the magnetic film.
1. Would the adhesive release due to heat?
2. That wouldn't help those with wood or plastic platforms.
Not...
I finally had the time to give it a go. I wasn't able to use it. The center was too high, I couldn't level the bed. I've put the plate on some spacers with weight on the middle, hoping to remove,...
I had a computer got DOA on me so life has been busy. I plan on printing something this weekend, and more thereafter. I usually don't print with a raft because I've found them impossible to remove...
I just got mine yesterday. I came here to ask, for sure, what side is the build side? I assume its the smooth side? Why is one side soo textured? I plan on printing on it tomorrow.
Thanks...
Thank you very much.
