Re: First print fail

image.jpg image.jpg Solved! After much forum searching, found this topic: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=4248&p=29972&hilit=Leaning+offset#p29972 That's it. The ezstruder stepper was wired and routed along side my y end switch, causing the stepper to pause and throw everything off ...

Re: First print fail

image.jpg OK, so I found another problem--my belts were threaded incorrectly around the bottom, and after correcting this, the skates move so much better, and I thought surely that was the issue. Over the weekend I reinstalled and set up Repetier from scratch, calibrated again,tried slowing down ...

Re: First print fail

I'm pretty sure I entered the Zheight into Repetier. I didn't do a correction for the convex/concave, but the nozzle was a bit low--not pinning the paper, but def a bit more resistance. The shift is always to one side, and happens on the quicker moves, and seemingly as the result of colliding into ...

Re: First print fail

Hey all. So I put in a new end stop switch, tightened up my belts a bit, and did a fresh calibration, which went well. I resliced the model, and started the print again. Still no luck. Same issue as before. The nozzel doesn't seem to be raising for each layer, and gets thrown off when it zips across ...

From Chris Elliot's show Get A Life several years back. Funny Show.
This was Spewy, a disgusting little alien Chris finds.
Thought he'd be fun to print. Was right.
Printed on the Orion Delta. ABS. Painted with light washes of acrylic.

Re: First print fail

I've discovered what could be the issue (and will feel dumb if it is). My top plate wasn't seated correctly on top of the right tower (towards where the prints were shifting), making that pulley a full 1/4in higher than the others. On top of that, the microswitch came missing it's little spring ...

Re: First print fail

Still no luck. I recalibrated z hieght from LCD, and the first layer looked good, less squashing of the material. I tried to let the next print go to see if it would recover eventually, but each subsequent layer falls to the right. Should I just try the full calibration for all the towers again? I ...

Re: First print fail

I haven't done the LCD Z height since I did the rest of the calibration. I'll try again and let you know. Thanks.

First print fail

fanShroudFail.jpg I'm very near the end of a Max build, and everything has been going well until I got to printing the first fan shroud. The first layer goes down fine, but then the next layers shift about a centimeter to the right. It looks like the nozzle isn't traveling up for the next layers ...

Re: Slic3r drama

Thanks-- it looks like I hadn't saved the Filament presets correctly. All working correctly now. I'm on Mac so was not able to locate Manager or Configuration directory, but after re-saving the settings in the configuration panel, everything works. Thanks so much for your help. This printer is so ...

Slic3r drama

I'm having problems with Slic3r. I'm new--so forgive if I'm just missing something obvious. My new Orion is amazing, and all the test files on the SD card print beautifully. The problem is that the Gcode Slic3r is producing doesn't seem to reflect my filament size and temp configurations. The ...

The skirt around the edge delaminated a bit, but the part itself is really great.

Hello from Los Angeles

Just received my Orion Delta. Unboxing and setup was very straightforward. First print (blinky) was PERFECT!
