Re: Octoprint module SD card access?
Did you ever figure out how to get at the SD card in the Raspberry PI? I'm worried about just prying the small box open. Don't want to bust the plastic. AFAICT, the only real way is to turn the printer on its side and remove the four Rasberry Pi chassis mounting screws. Then the Pi box lid comes ri...

Re: Printed part has bad X-axis shift, generally poor print
Print finished beautifully - thanks airscape! Would you mind giving us your thoughts on *why* the settings you developed work so well for PETG? They seem a bit counterintuitive, especially the 'no cooling' part
TIA,

Re: Printed part has bad X-axis shift, generally poor print
So far the print with airscape settings is looking pretty good!

Re: Printed part has bad X-axis shift, generally poor print
Try setting your extrusion multiplier at .93 and use only one extruder, petg supports at 40% 1mm resolution, speed of 35mmS, temp 230C and 70C for the bed no fan, layer height .25, retraction 1.10mm, 30mms, no wipe no costing only retract over open spaces and an extrusion width of .40 assuming a .3...

Re: Printed part has bad X-axis shift, generally poor print
I ran another experiment where I turned the model 90 degrees in S3D to (I thought) avoid the stepper motor stall problem. Unfortunately all that happened is to change the X-shift to a Y-shift! I guess the good news is that I'm now pretty sure it is caused by the nozzle dragging on the slightly uptur...

Re: Printed part has bad X-axis shift, generally poor print
I tried to print the same part as before, and got the same (badly shifted in X) result. This was with PETG, 60% cooling fan at layer 5 & up, extrusion percentage at 100% (it was at 115% for the first try). I'm using the latest version of S3D for slicing. This part has a curved bottom supported by PL...

Re: Printed part has bad X-axis shift, generally poor print
Thanks for the input. Yes, I have had a number of successful prints with the M3-ID, with a range of different materials. The over-extruding and under-cooling may have been the issue. I had extrusion set for 1.15, and no part cooling at all. I'm trying it again with extrusion reduced to 1, and part c...

Printed part has bad X-axis shift, generally poor print
I just finished an 8-hour print of a part on my relatively new M3-ID using a brand-new shrink-wrapped roll of high quality black PETG, with blue PLA for the minimal support needed for the part. The result has two extremely bad X-axis X-axis shifts- one at either end of the part. In addition, there i...
