Re: Very Weird Zigzagged Circle Printing on Rev. E Machine

I'm going to guess that this is due to firmware settings for acceleration and jerk. There were changes in the settings between these 2 machines firmware. Thank you! Do you have any idea which part should I change in order for this Rev. E to match the performance of the 2 Rev. Ds? In my Simplify3D s...

Very Weird Zigzagged Circle Printing on Rev. E Machine

I'm having a very weird problem. I printed a model on 3 M2s, 2 of them are Rev. D without LCD control panel and the other one is Rev. E with LCD control panel installed. The problem is that when this Rev. E printer prints the circle of the model, it shakes as if it's printing something that's very n...

Re: How can I slow the Z movement before the purge?

I have the exact same problem. It happened on my second M2 purchased last October, on the second day after I received it, so I don't think it's something related to lubricating..

Added an "F750" after that line of command and the slipping never happened again. Weird..

Re: Still Struggling in the Deep ABS-with-Support Sea..

Is there a way, to print things with a perfect rounded bottom? If you can split your object along the midline, print the parts with their rounded sides upward, then glue them together, you'll get nearly perfect results. Solvent-bonding two flat surfaces with alignment pins gives you excellent regis...

Re: Still Struggling in the Deep ABS-with-Support Sea..

The reference to shells was really for that particular model. What I'm learning to do more, and its pretty obvious, but I was just too excited to do in the beginning, is to look at the preview of the model, and look specifically in those areas for issues. An example that I can use is, when I print ...

Re: Still Struggling in the Deep ABS-with-Support Sea..

Can you provide an STL of some model that you are having difficulty printing? Perhaps some of us could give it a try and see if we can do it. Yes I can upload it here, but it's a very long model and can take some time to print. The requirement is 80% infill, black ABS, 0.1 mm layer height. (I saw a...

Re: Still Struggling in the Deep ABS-with-Support Sea..

Actually, if you upgrade to the dual, and print with 100% support using a dissolvable (or different) material in the other extruder, you can get it pretty darned close to perfect. I was impressed at how much better the lower surfaces were with solid support. I was underwhelmed with the PVA as suppo...

Re: Still Struggling in the Deep ABS-with-Support Sea..

Keep in mind, these are just general printing issues, mainly relating to the kind of shape you are trying to print, not necessarily specific to ABS: 1. The lower surface of that handle looks rounded. That's the hardest shape to try to print with any 3D printer, because even with excellent support, ...

Re: Still Struggling in the Deep ABS-with-Support Sea..

Here is what I can advise on 4. Those are essentially Z Scar/ Stop Start points. You can line them up to create a seam. I have the same issue with #5 ringing. I've done the 1000 max acceleration and still no real improvement. How many shell layers are you using ? I think some of 1,2,3 are heat issu...

Still Struggling in the Deep ABS-with-Support Sea..

Hi all, it's me again. Last time I had a problem printing ABS 100% infill because of wrong extrusion settings . After doing a calibration square (advice by Jules, thanks!), I'm able to get rid of most of the hedgehog effect and most of the things were going well. However, there are still some proble...
