10" Pegasus Build

[printbus]

Yeah, a lot of people have said the MakerFarm spool holder has been at least a major contributor. I didn't mention having issues with it because I never used it, or didn't use it longer than I had to.

FYI - someone suggested one of the unused wood parts shown in post #93 is an alternate spool mount, but it still relies on the poor design of having the spool bounce along over a fixed wood edge. Not sure where you'd mount that on a Pegasus without losing a lot of print volume. Perhaps on the rear side somehow. FOLLOWUP COMMENT: That alternate spool mount is used on the 12-inch Pegasus that utilizes a box frame around the printer.

Moderator RobH2 used to jump in and discourage people from mounting a spool high up on a printer, arguing that any momentum it picks up as the printer frame vibrates or wobbles can exasperate print quality issues. Just sharing what others have said before.

Ya I kinda looked at that when I was having lots of z-wobble(was an over-tight thread in the tubing that was forcing the screw to one side). The metal frame does not appear to move much if any during spool bounce, I could attach my frame to my printer enclosure to see if it makes a difference. I doubt it would.

Much of the jumping occurs when the printer is moving from left to right, usually during a non-extruded position change when its moving really fast.

The problem with no extrusion/slipping hobbed gear on the filament has gotten worse real fast but only with ABS, PLA seems to work fine.

Sounds like a clog or to low of a temperature. Make sure your temp sensor is not working its way out of the extruder.

edit...
Also check your extruder stepper current limiting. Also check your extrusion speed and acceleration, stepper can loose position if you go crazy fast or have to low current settings.
