Any ideas on the uneven X vs. Y? I'm still at a loss and have checked just about everything I possibly can...

Are your towers parallel to the bed when using a square, and is the center of the nozzle the same distance to all three towers? May be an alignment issue, just throwing out some more things to check. I assume you meant perpendicular and they were pretty damn close when I went through the re-assembl...

Okay, so here's what's going on. I've got the Y-direction correct, but the X-direction is now about 101% of what is should be... There's got to be a solution besides split the difference and call it good. My new working theory: differences in the delta radius? Yes/No?

Okay so here's the problem I'm currently having. The part comes into Cura with dimensions (64.6 x 121 x 13.5 mm), yet prints with dimensions (64.1 x 118.4 x 13.25 mm or 99.23% x 97.85% x 98.14%). Thoughts? What am I missing here? The Z-height isn't as big of a concern for me as I'm slightly smooshin...

Carriage offset was off slightly, with the difference being the corresponding difference in what I had in the horizontal radius so I think those two almost cancelled out. However, it looks like my diagonal rod was set much lower in the Configuration.h file than in the EEPROM. Since the manipulation...

I would measure all the points for delta arm length, the effector offset, Carriage offset and delta radius and make the changes in the Firmware (make sure to write the defaults down), I did this when I built the Magnetic arm mod and the prints for a 25mm cube came out to be 25.01mm-25.03mm. of cour...

Yes, and I tried, though it didn't seem to make any difference. Maybe I'll try a much larger scale factor

Okay, I have an issue with the dimensions of prints that has just surfaced I believe (Or it has just been called to my attention). My prints are approximately 2-3% too small, which didn't make a noticeable variation on smaller calibration prints. However, now that I'm printing things at a larger sca...

Unless it's the first couple of layers, it's more likely to be too much plastic being extruded, you need to do an extruder calibration. Would the 'flow tweak' have confirmed this? <0.80 it doesn't flow enough material to print without major holes If the dragging is happening above the first couple ...

Ah, gotcha. You must have home on powerup enabled. Welp, there are a couple of "solutions" One would be to temporarily switch the jumper on the Rambo to the USB power rather than the CPU power. That would allow you to power only the board from the USB (turn the CPU off) and resend the modi...

Should be around lines 190 in the configuration file that you need to make the change for your machine. //Set direction to 1 to invert #define INVERT_X_DIR 1 #define INVERT_Y_DIR 1 #define INVERT_Z_DIR 1 ^This is the code for my particular machine. If your # after "_X_DIR" is set to 0, cha...

Got power to LCD it has Repetier 0.8 Rostock MAx My understanding from PDF I need to download the 1.0 from the github, and it recommends clicking the zip to download it all at once instead of one file at a time. Where is the zip buttin in the page? https://github.com/seemecnc/RostockMAX/tree/master...

Plug-ins are the bane of software companies. On one hand you want to provide the flexibility to allow 3rd party plug-ins, on the other they give you bad press when the plug-in fails. That could also be related to Cura being centered around Marlin as opposed to Repetier.... I've used the pause at he...

Got .91 working last night, and it's rocking out pretty hard. I only miss two things from previous versions(both have been mentioned already): The Z-Height readout on the LCD during a print, I do a lot of prints that involve pausing and inserting pieces into the prints to be covered up in with subs...

The tower rotations are in the firmware somewhere. I don't know if they're in Configuration.h. Either Repetier or Marlin keeps them somewhere else but I don't recall which one. I'm pretty sure it is in the configuration.h file. It's in there on the current ones and so I'd highly doubt they would ha...

Also the final/top layer looks better. The surface still looks not quite closed, but the gaps are much smaller than before. ^Tells me you do not have your extruder properly calibrated and are likely making up for it by having your z-height too low to start. This is causing your nozzle to drag acros...

Nor I and I print almost exclusively in PLA. McSlappy, I haven't mined through all of the suggestions, but I would throw out increasing your temp another 5 to 10 degrees. The small melt zone of the E3D makes it appear as though it is working well at lower levels when the printer is moving slower and...

When in PLA, I usually either add a brim to the part or lay down some tape if I'm having trouble getting the PLA to stick. If that doesn't work, you can try a brim on tape. If THAT doesn't work, the glue stick/hairspray seems to get just about anything but nylon to stick. For nylon, you will want to...

Added these: http://forum.seemecnc.com/download/file.php?id=896&mode=view" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and a 80mm fan in the Rambo compartment. I've had the "to cool from the front or to cool from the back" conversation with a guy from the local makerspace....

I've been having troubles with the RAMBo overheating and prints going off the rails. It takes hours with ABS, but I've been experimenting with Nylon and it's happening MUCH faster due to the higher temps (280c with an e3d v5 hotend). Does anybody who has added a fan to their RAMBo have pictures of ...

Now that I have slept I remembered there is a big problem using Cura 14.01 with a Rostock MAX (well, really with Repetier Firmware). MSURunner covers the issue in this thread: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=4119&p=27290&hilit=Cura+Rostock#p27290 . The Cura Engine is writ...

g.

Cura supports .amf

It's a bad programming language masquerading as a parametric design tool - and yes, I'm a CAD snob. There is a reason why I'm not using it in my classroom :) But innovation (particularly CAD innovation) is rarely driven by leaders in software if history is any indication. BIM based architecture mod...

I really think all it's going to take is an OpenSCAD or something of the sort to really push the big guys like Dassault and Autodesk to include AMF. If we aren't using AMF in the next two years I'd be slightly surprised...
