Re: tenative test for mesh leveling

I see a new pre-release of Marlin dropped a few days ago with new fixes, but I don't have the know how to tweak the settings for the M2 :oops: I'd really like to get mesh leveling working as my MIC 6 plate drops in one corner, my rails are b...

Re: Is a skirt really necessary?

The first few mm of the skirt never goes down well on on my prints despite the purge, so if it didn't print the skirt first, it would be the first few mm of the final piece that didn't go down well. Everybody may be different, but I certainly need a skirt. However, you can probably keep the number o...

Re: Extuder/Electronic Fans not working

Extuder/Electronic Fans not working

So, I upgraded to the Noctua fans a while back and never got the the electronics and extruder fans running. I thought it might have been a dodgy connection but didn't have a change to do too much digging, but now I have, everything looks ok. The problem is the fans still don't want to play nice. I u...

Re: Accuracy and Nozzle diameter

Thought I'd treat myself to one of those shiny metal motor mounts. Get to checkout - $50 for shipping. I don't think so. MakerGear really need to start making things a little easier for international customers.
