I changed the hot end on my creator pro....and must have shorted out wires while doing so...thermocouple wires and heater element wires.

I was getting a 'Tool 0 temp exceeded' error, so i swapped...

I had a lot of trouble with bridge and other nylons at first.....took me a while but the speeds need to be quite slow....almost 1/2 ABS in my experience

The first few prints I did were also my...

Just a follow up
makergeeks got back to me immediately...they seem pretty trustworthy

I haven't heard a word at all from them...

ya live and learn I guess....

I have just filed a paypal claim against geckotek....

Ordered mine 9 weeks ago...and now they are not responding to my emails.

On the kickstarter page seems like they are having a lot of problems with ABS....they are saying the plate is now 'PLA'...

Lack of supports....(for the underside stuff)

simplify3d has some bridging settings, not sure the equivalent in the other slicers, but for me slowing the print down and reducing the extrusion...

Just be aware Neodymium magnets start to lose magnetic properties at 80c and will completely lose all magnetism at 310c
Ferrite magnets can take up to 250c before seeing any loss

Don't get me wrong I like the idea of HIPS....I even have some here.

my problem is getting limonene for a decent price. In the US there seems to be lots for cheap, Here in Canada I have had a real...

Ya, that design may need a few supports :)

i was just reading this about bronze fill last night...expensive stuff

Been printing for a few weeks now, mostly PLA/ABS...but have tried TGlase, bridge nylon, PETG, and flexible TPU

Actually only had 2 failed prints, both with nylon because you have to slow it way...

LOL, you are right of course....

I panicked because on loading this happens....must be running at a much higher feed rate.
After reading your post, I just tried printing and all was fine

Trying to print some bridge material on FlashForge creator pro....
Haven't even got past loading it yet....

temps tried were anywhere from 235-265, all the same result....the filament flows...

Yup worked....well 90% better

Probably something I will have to do from time to time

Thanks

I use ABS PLA

I would like to try nylon and tritan

filament selection and prices are both good.

I have ordered before, but the shipping to Canada was expensive, amazon was $5 more but 2 day shipping was free

Nylon, bridge.

I would like to try polycarbonate and tritan

super strength filaments with strong layer bonding.

Perhaps also an hybrid dual epoxy filament for dual extruder printers. Basically a ABS/Nylon other plastic laced with 1 half of an epoxy bond. 1...

Did some googling, and another possibility would be the belts angling towards the edges of the pulley and riding up the pulley and snapping back down......

would make more sense then the spark...

Hmmm....

It's getting much worse...happening backwards and forwards in the Y direction, almost to the point I am afraid to print something.

The snapping sounds like an electrical spark....my...

I concur with your logic.....

The thing here is it is only occurs when starting from a dead stop....you would think the tensioner would make the noise every time while moving past

I played with it in jog mode and found 2 spots along the z axis that make this snapping sound.

they only make the sound from a dead stop....it's fairly hard to find in jog mode causing me to...

I'm getting an intermittent but somewhat repeatable sharp snapping sound during my last few prints.....

-It mostly happens during a transition from X to Y travel when the head is turning a 90...

On the levelling issue....

if if your adjustment nuts are all the way and still do not touch.....it should be possible to be adjusted in Z offsets. I have no experience in this, but physically...
