Re: Borrow printer in San Antonio for prosthetic conference?
Thanks John! I tell everyone how great these machines are. The vertical build volume and extendability is killer for prosthetics.

Loose Fuse on rambo - how to secure?
I have a fuse on my rambo board that is loose (the fuse by the LCD connector - it's either F2 or F3). part of the metal contacts on one side came off while being replaced one time. When the printer is moving about it can come lose and then the printer dies obviously. What is a good and safe way to s...

Re: Pitting on surface finish
Printing with Slic3r seemed to help the problem (although it introduced others). I vastly prefer Cura for surface finish. anyone have experience with Cura and what might cause this or what to tinker with?

Re: Printer won't turn on
thank you also for the safety tip! I took apart the power supply - and well I didn't see any issues - I concluded that it was fried since it wasnt delivering any power. thanks for the help!

Re: Pitting on surface finish
it feels like 1 per layer - and often times they will "stack up" and be at the same place
so i doubt it's that :/

Pitting on surface finish
Not sure how else to describe this. I am getting pitting on the surface of the print. The weird thing is that I printed this with 0 retraction! (because I thought the issue was retraction). I'm using Cura to slice. any ideas?

Re: Printer won't turn on
Hmmm no dice. Unplugged PSU from Rambo, power switch is ok. But I turn on the printer and I nothing happens in the power supply. I expect I should at least hear a fan spinning?

[Solved] Printer won't turn on
I have about a year old rostock max v2 with the viotek 450W power supply. It's been working great, but went to turn it on today and nothing happens. I can't hear any fans running. How can I diagnose this issue? thanks! (i have a multimeter)

Voltage drop on Rambo to hot end very low
So when I try to heat up my hot end - it heats up soooooo slow. I have another Max v2 that heats up very quickly. I measured the voltage across the hot end on the Rambo - and it shows up at .82. On my other max it's over 10. [img]http://i.imgur.com/dAELsnc.jpg?1[/img] I checked all the splicing from...

Calibration - Run out of travel in screws
I'm calibrating the printer, and for the Z tower calibration, I can no longer raise the screw anymore though the hot end is not yet low enough. Additionally, I can no longer tighten the screw for the Y tower calibration, though I need to raise the hot end for that one. Any thoughts as to how to over...

Re: Slow extruder heating - firmware problem?
OK - so voltage for hot end is really low (~.8). I replaced the fuses (10A), but no effect. LED2 is flashing as well. Does this mean a problem with the RAMBo?

Slow extruder heating - firmware problem?
I wanted to put this in another post since it's probably a separate problem, but I've got issues with an E3D-v6 extruder on a rostock heating very slowly (2C/min) that seems to be related to the firmware. I checked all connections - no shorts, and the extruder was definitely heating, just very slowl...

Extruder Heating and Feedback Problem
Hey all, So I'm having a strange problem with a couple of rostock max v2s I just set up. I built the two printers in parallel, so they are set up similarly. In the first printer, once it was completed, it seemed to be working fine. Both the extruder and the bed were working and the temperature readi...

Spontaneous Cooling
So I've got an issue - the hot end is spontaneously cooling. It might get through a few layers and then it will start dragging the plastic. And it's only the hot end that cools down. In repetier, both the bed and the hot end are still turned on, but the temperature for just the hot end drops. Earlie...

I'm in the market for a dual (or triple/quadruple) hot end 3d printer. Ideally it would be awesome stock with heated bed, all metal hot ends, etc. Anyone have any recommendations? thanks!

[resolved] thermistor got off
A print came loose off the bed and got all messy in my e3d hot end. I printed another print after just fine. Now the machine has cooled down but the thermistor says the hot end is hovering around 212c when it is obviously cold (around 33c). Thoughts on how to fix this?
