Re: STL of Linear Rail??

Thanks Tim, but I think this will be fine. Got the dampers on the motors and wow it is quiet but still going to replace the bearing on the X axis this weekend as it is much rougher than this new one I slid on the rail when I had the motor and belt off..

Re: nema17 dampers

Yes, I did notice that the motor was HOT and I figured as that was why.. However these motors are rated at a very high temperature so I will enjoy the quiet for now. Others have posted they had them installed on multiple machines running production level stuff for a year and only removed them due to...

STL of Linear Rail??

MG support sent me a bearing cartridge to replace the Y cartridge that seems to be making an odd noise. However, I don't want to pull the old one off and have all the bearings go a bouncing, just in case there is actually nothing wrong with it. Before I attempt to measure and model a copy of the pla...

Re: Extruder calibration and fill problem

Your starting hight is still off by .06 too high Should measure 2.0 +- .02 I like mine to be 1.98 > 2.01. Of course assuming accurate caliper. What printer is this anyway? What slicer What Filament and have you pulled out a couple or yards and measured the diameter in multiple places to make sure it...
