Re: Ringing?

In case anyone wonders... the lower jerk setting did quiet down the machine. Still some ringing, but I discovered an additional problem which I will open in a new post as it seems worthy of its own topic.

Thanks all for the insights!

Re: Ringing?

In case anyone is wondering... the desk fire turned into a 4-alarm. Back at it, I discovered the V4 filament drive exploded. More on the ringing after I get this fixed.

Ringing?

Hi, my last print looked really poor (attached). The part was printed with the right edge of the image on the bed. I suppose this is ringing? The profile is one I've been using for a while after some many tweaks (speed 4200 fyi). Slicer Simplify3D. Everything feels tight, but the machine seems noisi...

Re: slipping filament - motor shaft wiggly

Thanks for the images... my parts have now little marks on them also! Ah, good input about the filament path being slightly different from a hand-feed path. It is hard to see, but when I removed the roller bearing it did seem a little 'rough' down where the filament would plunge into the bottom of t...

Re: slipping filament - motor shaft wiggly

Update: 1. The filaments are partial spools I've used in the past and have been stored cool and dry with desiccant so I think they are OK. They measure 1.75 to 1.80mm depending on where I check. 2. I can not see an opening between the gear assembly and the stepper motor that shows the stepper motor ...

slipping filament - motor shaft wiggly

Everything works great, then I change filament and filament now won't feed...pinion slips on filament. Bite in filament looks OK, but tried different adjustments. Tried a different filament spool, still slips. Checked that pinion set screw was tight - yep. Doing that, I noticed the extruder motor sh...

Re: Different looking v3b

Thanks for the reply! Back on the forum with another problem. I don't usually look at forum as I am such a noob that I don't feel I have much to contribute. I did end up putting on a V4b hotend along with a lot of other work. Someone had partially disassembled the M2!? Luckily Support was ultra supp...
