Re: Geetech LCD

Thanks Will. That's what MG just told me. Seems odd though. Does anyone know a way to override that and keep the fan on? It is usually around eighy/ninety degrees where I have my M2 setup. I don't want to kill my board since I tend to have it powered up for long periods without printing anything.

Ha! That's what I started doing. About two minutes in I said F it and just waited for it to get closer to the drive.

Re: How to: "Not-Splice" Filament on its way into the M2

Awesome! I just did this on accident the other night. I didn't realize I was about to run out of filament mid-print. Just chased the old spool with the new. Worked like a charm!

Geetech LCD

Does anyone else have MG's new style LCD? After I upgraded my firmware I lost my electronics enclosure fan. Would any of you guys know how I can get that little guy up and running? I don't want to run my M2 without it so I am dead in the filament so to speak.

Thanks!

The really cool thing here is the versatility. Like, you could totally make mini Death Stars, or cruddy fake oranges, or...mannequin...parts...

Re: bug in Simplify3D?

Why would you not heat your bed for PLA? My prints come out much better since I stopped using the bed heater. Zero heat distortion on the lower layers which I was even getting through the raft. I will give that a look tonight Jim. Something that may be connected that I left out is that S3D is const...

Re: bug in Simplify3D?

Another bug/user error issue:

After a print my bed heater has a tendency to pop on. When it happens I lose manual control over both my bed heater and hot end. Any ideas why this happens? I run PLA so my bed is never heated which just adds to my confusion.

Re: M2 Viki 2.0 Firmware - Can anyone get it to work? (Link)

I did go through MG. It took the better part of a working day to get to the appropriate link. Like the man said, they shoved it out the door. That's not on me man.
