Bed Fan Interference?
Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2014 8:56 pm
I had my first fail today, after lots of successful prints.
A few questions about the bed fan... (Using S3D, Windows 8, Red PLA and USB printing)
When my extruder travels to the extreme -X axis (far left) the bed fan touches the left tower support and gets mooshed over a bit, out of the way. Is that okay? Is there an X axis stop technique to prevent this?
My failures came when I attempted to print a multiple object project, that took up 6"x 2" oriented along the Y axis. The bed fan snagged on the clips and disrupted the print. Is there a way to reorient an object or multiple objects in S3D? I looked through all of the menu items and couldn't see anything that allowed me to reorient other than "Center and Arrange".
Stupid question: Do the clips have to stay? Or were they just part of the packing materials?
Does S3D allow for the proximity of the bed fan to the bed? For example, does it know to put tall stuff toward the front of the bed?
Finally, is there any kind of physical adjustment I can make to the bed fan to have a little bit more clearance from the bed and the objects being printed and those clips?
