Re: Testers Needed

I just discovered a big oops with the new design. The corner clip closest to bed position X=0, Y=max is colliding with the nut on the underside of the X gantry. I think the easiest fix is to remove that X gantry screw and nut, since it's not the end one I don't think it'll make any difference. I too...

Re: Testers Needed

After my previous observation that the nozzle was almost touching the bed and dragging oozing plastic across the bed I changed my startup script in S3D from: M204 T10000 ; increase default retraction acceleration M201 X1200 Y800 Z500 ; reduce maximum acceleration to reduce ringing G28 ; home all axe...

Re: Testers Needed

Is the new test code available yet? I need to relevel the bed and set Z anyway.

Re: PEI Bed Surface

Kazolar (who I work with in our day jobs) said I didn't get a good lamination between the PEI and the glass so it'll have to be redone. I was surprised at this PLA print warping becuase I didn't think PLA was supposed to W...

Re: Testers Needed

I did a bunch of prints with the Z Max setup yesterday and noticed a potential issue. After the bed confirms the stop and starts to rise it does a nice Y shift to avoid hitting the clip, but then the nozzle comes close to the bed a bit higher up before moving off to the right for the purge. The prob...

Re: PEI Bed Surface

Installed PEI on my bed New Years Eve (I'm a party animal), just tried printing a pen case tonight out of PLA and the PLA stuck so strongly to the PEI and warped that it delaminated the PEI from the glass on both sides. Argh.
