Re: Nylon

Try applying a PVA solution or glue stick to a cold bed and dont heat it up so hot. Between 40-90 degrees C should hopefully be enough. Also, try adding a significant brim to the part to keep it stuck to the bed. If that doesnt work then go with the extreme solution of just squriting white school gl...

Re: Nylon

Hmmmm. I tried the birch plywood last night, and again the nylon peeled itself off after the first few layers. It seems that Nylon has even more of a warp-tendency than ABS. I find that hard to believe, but there you go. I'll try the PVA solution on top of the plywood next (don't really want to put...

Re: Nylon

I tried printing some nylon last night on my PEI bed. At 105 degrees bed and 240 nozzle, it stuck nicely. Until the second layer that is... Nylon looks to be a lot more fussy with regard to temperature than the other filaments I've tried. I have some R/C modelling birch plywood, it's really thin, a...

If so, it's mine. What you like to know? If not, sorry, carry on.

Well now that you mention it I do have some questions for you about the misumi linear rails. Which size EXACTLY did you get and how did you determine what rail length would be needed?

Re: Solid Metal / Possibly One Piece Delta Printer

None of those, I remember it was a silverish metal and by open top I mean that I don't think the extensions were bound/secured together at the top in any way, shape, form or fashion. I wanna say it was called the "Metal Air" or something.... Anybody? EDIT: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtop...

Solid Metal / Possibly One Piece Delta Printer

I could have sworn that I had seen a user on here post their all metal delta printer, if I remember correctly it had an open top and it looked to be made of stainless steel or aluminum. I am not talking about the Max Metal, if anyone has any info/pictures on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Re: Strange Lulzbot TAZ 3 Behavior

So just turned the fan down in the LCD from 255 to 128, that fixed it. Oops

Yesterday though I did have the powersupply over heat and shut everything down mid print. I turned it on ten minutes later with no issues since. Any idea as to why?

I was fiddling with my layer fan connection just now and shorted something out.

Rostock Max V2 goes to DEF DEF when bed is above 90C

I normally print around 70-80C bed temperature, but without an enclosure, printing with ABS needs a bit hotter bed temp. So I had been experimenting the last few days with temps at and above 100C, but I noticed something extremeley strange - halfway through the print the lcd screen will read DEF for...
