Good Afternoon!

I have just completed a major overhaul on my Makerfarm i3V 12". A quick history, I have had for almost a year, I have added many mods/upgrades over the year including going from a...

In regards to the primary extruder question, it all depends on which hotend is plugged into which pins. Typically you would plug the left extruder into T0 and the right extruder into T1. T0 is your...

Check the terminals on the relay board. Make sure the plastic hasnt started to melt or warp, if they havnt then tighten all the terminals. The wires like to get a little loose and when that happens,...

Have you ever replaced your nozzle? Cleaned your nozzle? How long have you been printing with this nozzle? Have you changed brands of filament recently? Have you fine tuned your extrusion multiplier...

Hey Gamble, joop is correct, the issue you are seeing is flow rate or overextrusion. I usually print a 20x20 cube at 100% infill with each new roll of filament and then adjust my flow rate from...

One thing to keep in mind, is that pretty much all printers have the ability to print great, with work, parts, money, and know how. When it comes to buying a cheap printer that works from the get go,...

I have a Robo3D, and it works good. I have recently had some problems with it that I have been working out, but printed flawlessly for 6 months before any issues. I would recommend upgrading to an...

When it comes to adjusting the flowrate, you usually have to adjust this per type of filament and usually needs fine tuning between different rolls. For cleaning your nozzle, you can check out this...

Hey lakester, I would make sure your bed and carriage both are not loose and that your belts have good tension. I do however think you are underextruding as well. Increasing to 300% or even going...

I would recommend the RigidBot. The standard sized one is 10x10x10, they come at 800 assembled or 579 as a kit. I think they are nice because they are extremly modular. If you want to go bigger down...

You are fine with the steppers you currently have. I went from a m5 threaded rod to a 4mm pitch lead screw with no noticable change in print quality. You will need to change the steps per mm for that...

Hey Guys,

I been printing with PETG for about 20 hours now and gotta say that I love it. It is very strong/durable, doenst warp, lift, or crack like ABS and isnt as brittle as PLA. It also has a...

After playing with the flowrate with a few calibration cubes, I found i was extruding 3% to much, enough to cause a shotty top layer.

Hey Guys,

I have done a lot of digging on good ways to adhear ABS to the bed. I have attempted every possibility and never had great success. I ran into PEI and ordered a sheet and absolutly love...

15%. on that part there is only about 3 layers of infil due to how tall it is, however this happens on parts that are much much taller as well, with smaller and larger infill percentages. Onething...

Hey Guys,


I have an issue that I cant quite figure out. My solid layers are coming out rough and extruding a bit. I calibrated my e steps and am within 1 mm. I also have "fine tuned" the flow...

This successfully changed a 26 hour print to 17 hours while keeping fine detail.

With the help of S3D support I was able to figure out how to do this. This can be done in 1 process. You set the proper nozzle sizes for each extruder, set the smaller nozzle extruder as your primary...

I set process 1 to print infill at 0% at a layer res of .1 and process 2 to print 0 top, bottom, and perimeter loops and to print the infill at 15% and .4 layer height. it ends up crashing S3D

I been playing with S3D and it doesnt seem to be all that easy. If in process 2 I enable the right extruder for infill, what I do about the exterior perimeters for process 2? Also for Process 1, do...

Thank you, I figured it was something like that. I just wanted to see if this has been done by others before proceeding to play

Hey Guys,

I have been using Simplify3D for about a week now and love it. However, I would like to speed up my print times however using different nozzle sizes (whether with Simplify3D or another...

Hey all,

im having an issue with my printer making wavey lines on the first layer, it looks as if on side of the line sticks and the other side doesn't as much, picture attached. I have an auto...

Hey Voodoo, I made the adjustments you suggested, it does make my prints better so I am greatful for your input. However, I am still getting the rounded corners. Any chance you could take a look at...

Question in regards to this... Would going with the m6 lead screws be a better option then the m8?
