Very unlikely to be the motor. They're apparently very hard to kill. If the motor isn't producing sufficient torque it is more likely an almost break in the wire. To eliminate the clog possibility...
BTW, what does the servo control actually need to do? IE, what's a typical gcode sequence on a printer that supports it?
Sailfish doesn't actually know any g-code. All g-code gets translated into x3g protocol before being sent to the printer. You can look for what you need in the x3g protocol:...
Huh, I hadn't noticed that since I switched away from the spool holders a long while back. I've got my active spools in a closed container with silica packets behind the printer.
You could try...
I removed mine for printing PLA. Facing the machine I have no limit switch on the left, only on the right and that is mounted on the x-end carriage not on the panel. And the z-limit and y-limit...
I've used Acrylic paint from the local hobby shop on both PLA and PETG and it worked well. And by worked well, I would say, it stuck to the print and appears to be fairly durable. I'm not an artist...
I've noticed that if you have a cooling fan blowing on it the all metal setup combined with stock PID values let any temp of 240 or beyond sag a bit. My solution was to insulate the heat block and...
If you post a link to the gcode file you converted with gpx, I can probably help with the start gcode.
You may want to verify that this is correct (in two ways, chip and heat bed). The 2560 has twice as much flash space as the 1280 which is the default chip on most of the Replicator 1 Dual Clones. ...
First problem is that Cura only produces RepRap flavor gcode and RepG only consumes MakerBot flavor. In particular, (and this is related to some of your problems below) they disagree on some of the...
Though that thread is for having the left extruder print 34mm to the left. It sounded like you were just off 1-2mm? If so, there's a X-offset setting in the eeprom which you can adjust (it's what...
I actually use 0.03" PEI (Ultem) stuck to cheap mirror glass using 3M 486MP double sided tape. One of my kids had a 12x12 decorative mirrors in their room that they decided to get rid of. I got rid...
The endstop switch is attached to an endstop board. It's behind the Z lead screw such that the platform that is behind the Z lead screw will run into it when your platform moves upward.
I googled...
If you have OctoPrint and the GPX plugin, you can send M114 in the terminal window and it'll return what the bot thinks its current position is and whether the endstops are activated.
Simplify 3D uses a modified version of GPX to generate the x3g from the gcode. They may have a flavor mismatch. They need to emit M126 if they're using the MakerBot gcode flavor parameter to GPX. ...
It's the start gcode sequence, it explicitly waits for the bed to heat up before heating the nozzle. The FlashForge factory used RepG to slice those samples and they rigged it to heat both at the...
If there's any slop it'll make the ringing worse, but I have it pretty tight and the other sight pretty tighter, so that any motion from it dampens faster than the slowest to dampen vibration. :-)
By the way, I prefer to use thick silicon baking mat cut down to fit. I put one on both sides so I can adjust the height by compressing the silicon more or less by tightening the bolts.
Rich Webb posted a pretty diagram here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/flashforge/FANlPZn8hA4/c9IABy6eBQAJ
However, when you get there be sure to expand the message, Google hid the image below...
For the last little adjustment, it is waaay easier to use a shim between the cooling bar and the carriage than to mess with the set screw and the heatbreak tube.
Nice and tight z-height when you level the bed.
For some parts with a small footprint, a brim instead of a raft. S3D, Cura and Slic3r all have brim as an option.
Once you've gotten close on the nozzle height, the best way to get them level is to use a shim. Some people use tin foil between the cooling block and the carriage. I use a bit of a silicone...
I think the blower fan that yours came with will give you better results even with the simple air routing they did than many people get with more complicated setups for the simple reason that you're...
If you would like to give slic3r a go, you need to save gcode from it and convert it to x3g using GPX. There is a guide on 3duniverse. Or you could buy a Raspberry pi and hook up OctoPi to your...
