Are your stepper motors in the enclosure when it's heated Mjoliner? Is there any concern there. What about the wooden parts of the printer. Should I be concerned about them? And the cooling of the...

Thanks for the reply. That sounds easier. One concern I have with this and with filtering is it creating a draft. Would this be significant enough to affect the print? I thought of a few other...

I just graduated high school and am moving on to college in a few months. I have a 12" i3v and I'd like to bring it with me. My roommate likes 3d printing as well so he's ok with this. However,...

Ok, the oscillations are gone. No idea why, but I'm not asking any questions. Still have the lcd issue though.

Also, despite the past three weeks, I have not been able to solve my original problem. My hotend temp oscillates within an 8 degree range, which I think is a little abnormal. PID Autotune did not...

Thanks Printbus, you were right. Although I never actually saw what my old eeprom was because my lcd is displaying gibberish (yay!), I downloaded repetier-host and edited the eeprom with it and this...

Changed Z-max acceleration from 5 to 2. Didn't change anything. So that's not it?

Ha, didn't realize how long that post was. Thanks, I'll check it out. I think I tried that a few weeks ago (been at this for a while), but I'll try it again.

I'm not quite sure what's going on with my printer. I've had quite a few issues with it recently, but sorted all of them out. They were almost all my fault, and I suppose this one probably is too. ...

You were right about the gcode being the issue. The gcode set the travel speed for the z axis movements which is ~100mm/s and way to fast for the z axis which was causing the axis to squeal. The...

It squeals after it homes when it moves up 10mm via a gcode command from the cura start g code. I adjusted the z trimpot which started at about 0.4v up to 0.8v then down to 0.2v to boa avail. That...

Thanks for the replies. I might try putting one z motor on the second extruder. I got the z motors to work by reflashing the firmware with lower accelerations and a lower feedrate, but it's still not...

One more quick question. So I got that whole issue sorted out, but my z axis is still finicky. With one z motor plugged in it works fine, with two the buzz and barely move or not at all. I tested...

I figured it out Printbus! Thanks for the reply, you are such a nice guy. I wouldn't have read through that angry wall of text i wrote. Anyways like you said I checked the Polyfuses and they were...

Man I dream of the day I'll have had a printer that worked for more than a week. Basically right now there is an issue with the VMOT pin. I've determined the cause of all the other issues in the...

Update: My stepper motors are fine. I temporarily got my printer working. Started working completely randomly. I discovered that the VMOT pin on my ramps board is extremely inconsistent when it comes...

So this all started because I had a broken thermistor in my hotend. I replaced it and figured while im at it Id replace the heater cartridge and hear block too since they were covered in plastic. But...

Well it's been a little while but I finally got the relay and installed it. The prints are a thousand times better. Also got a PEI sheet while I was at it and I'm now printing ABS wonderfully too....

Well im definetly looking forward to installing the SSR. If my heated bed came preinstalled with the mechanical relay, do you think I can just jumper it so that it is always in the closed state thus...

Thanks for all the replies. I'll definetly be moving to blue painters tape for the time being it looks like. And Chadd, it was actually your thread that gave me the answer. Thanks! I'll be ordering...

Any tips on getting my prints to stick better now that I can't use my bed for the whole print? Or possibly a better replacement for the relay? Or a fix for the bed? I'm researching it now but...

8510If anyone's curious. I'm sure you can tell which one is the better one. Same layer height.

I solved the problem. It was just the fluctuation in the heated bed temperature causing the issue. I feel like an idiot for not realizing it. Especially because I did think of it two weeks ago but...

Yep, that's the same one. I couldn't thank you enough for doing that! I'll print one out again with my slic3r settings to compare. Thanks!

Ah I wish it were that easy. I've tried 10mm/s - 75mm/s. Faster seemed a bit better but I think it's just masking the issue more than solving it.
