Re: Cylinders aren't round

Thanks to all for your help and thoughts. Ednisely: The set screw is firm against the flat part of the shaft. Jules: The rail was cleaned and lubed.

Re: Cylinders aren't round

Hotend is all tight. The flats are along (parallel to) the X axis, which means it is a Y axis issue. I can find no slop or play in either axis. I also cleaned and lubed the axis rails to eliminate that as an issue. Printing through OctoPrint and connected directly to the computer via USB produce ide...

This print shows what I'm talking about: calibrationproblem.jpg I don't know if this is a recent problem or not since I only found i...

Supports Advice

Looking to the group gurus for advice on getting a smoother finish on the bottom of curved parts. The part below shows what I'm getting currently with a layer height of .2mm. I've also attached a pic of the support settings I'm using in S3D.

Re: Print Settings for PETG: eSUN Solid Black Filament

Thanks so much for this thread. I've been printing with some eSUN PETG based on the FFF file posted here. I'm really digging the results. Good surface finish, great strength, good dimensional accuracy and good flexibility. However, I'm frustrated with one aspect. I can't seem to get rid of the burnt...
