Can you help make a large print? (Offset Problem)
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2017 6:21 pm
I am supporting "First Robotics club" # 612 @ Chantilly High - North VA. I am making a large print for them but my printer has been having an issue with an "offset", it failed after 30 hrs.
So, I am asking if there is anyone who could start such a print. Requires 5.4"x, 7.5"y. 7.2"z. I have been printing in PetG. It takes about 40 hrs. We can supply filament but have no way to cover printer time costs.
Anyone who can help? Obviously it would be best if near the North-VA area.
As to the failure - I have had several prints "offset" in the x, y, or x&y directions. All the belts and screws are tight. I have tried it from the computer, OctoPrint & the Card - all failed sometimes. I have been in contact with Makegeqar support. I slowed it down and thought the troubles were over, but it happened again. This time it happened in "X", about 1/2 inch. It then continues to print offset so the printer has forgot where it is.
