Re: bltouch probe

Those labyrinths are great! Thanks, the manufacturer of the green glitter filament is out-of-stock for a while. I haven't found a replacement. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/pla-premium-green-glitter-1kg-1-75mm-hobbyking.html Tried: https://www.proto-pasta.com/collections/all/products/cloverleaf-metal...

Re: bltouch probe

Yes, it works now, mostly. The printer can make a 9-inch cylinder with 0.25mm layers. A 10-inch cylinder would be nice, but it doesn't work. Not sure if it's because of the limits of the printer geometry. The goal was to be able to sell larger labyrinths in an Etsy store . My Prusa clone maxes out a...

Re: bltouch probe

Not a bad idea about changing to electronics that can detect acceleration of stopping on the bed. I have some TMC2208 and another electronics board where that is possible. Here's what I came up with as far as a mount for the probe. I put a shroud around the probe so that it can't slam into the bed i...

Re: bltouch probe

I turned off auto-calibration and tried just using only the springs. It worked to about 0.5mm layers but not 0.25mm layers. The maker of Smoothieboard (electronics) said that the auto-level probe is supposed to be in the same spot as the hot end in order to make an accurate delta probe grid. So I ma...

Re: bltouch probe

I think the autocalibration is needed because my bed is not flat. I replaced the original MDF wooden fractal star with a solid disc of aluminum, thinking that it would help. Maybe the acrylic has sagged over time or the aluminum disc is a little raised in the middle. IMG_6699.JPG IMG_6701.JPG I put ...

Re: bltouch probe

Yes, the Smoothieboard firmware appears to be trying to do the correct operations. It's the newest firmware version. Maybe I should measure the distance between the effector and the bed to see if it's parallel. Another idea is to make the leveling screws exactly the same height before trying to auto...

bltouch probe

I dusted off my Rostock Max v1 from Indiegogo 2012. The arms are a bit loose and move a few millimeters if I jostle the effector. It has Smoothieboard 32-bit electronics. I've been trying to get auto-leveling to work. Adjusting the screws on each tower doesn't work well enough anymore. I added a blt...

Rostock Max v1 (Indiegogo) Bed not flat

I'm trying to set up my Rostock Max v1 from the original Indiegogo campaign in 2012. The bed isn't flat. I adjusted the leveling screws to get it as level as possible. There are still some odd high and low spots on the bed. Could it be that the wood under the heated bed has warped? Is there a metal ...

I was able to get the RAMPs 1.4 working with the CNC Shield. It adds four extruders. I was trying to get it working with a Diamond 3 to 1 nozzle but haven't had much time.

Re: $259 Cheap Kossel?

I purchased the Folger Tech metal framed i3 Prusa kit for 299 (b-day gift). My son wanted to get into 3d printing so we picked up the kit to get his feet wet. He's not one to tinker with stuff like this, so we'll see how he handles the assembly. As for the parts kit, it looks decent enough. Verifie...

Repetier-Host will pause if you add @pause to the gcode. You can swap the filament while it's paused and then resume the print.

Re: Three extruders, single nozzle

Rather than three fans, what about running a fan to blow down between all three, together with some kind of deflection cone/shroud which directs the air across the heatsinks and away from the nozzle? That's a good idea and that's what the creators of the diamond nozzle recommend. Like this: https:/...
