Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetie
Was finally able to do the calibration to 0.01, from what I gathered the reason why I was unable to do a calibration was because of 3 things, the first one was the cheapskates that had been badly assembled, this caused bad movements and the software as far as I could gather couldn't really handle th...

Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetie
Ok, think I found the problem while making the videos, it seems to me that the X cheapskates might be too loose, will adjust them and retry, and if it still fails I will post a video of it. EDITED: still no idea if this solves the problem or not since I don't have the keys to adjust it now, but hav...

Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetie
Hi, making a video of it now (at 5 mm/s probing for expediency sake), but it was when moving between the Y, and the YO if I remember correctly, while doing the moves between probing positions, it was doing a really significant convex arc between the probing points, so when transitioning between Y a...

Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetie
This change does correspond to your Y towers belt slipping. Hi when you mention this, I assume you are referring to this part "YO: 2.41, Z: 13.83" in particular, if you are, then yes by that point the belt had slipped, because the head had crashed into the table, and ofc the motors contin...

Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetie
Well I have spent around 12 hours trying to get the software to work with my printer and I'm at a loss, have tried different versions (2.1.1, 2.05a and 2.0.4PA), tried all of the 3 calibration methods, different settings, tried with an FSR, and a Z-probe, with different Z-probe Start Height, and dif...

Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetie
That error is very likely because you don't have the language set to english, if you change the keyboard and region settings to English (United States) it should start working, at least it did for me, and I was having the exact same error.

Re: S3D version 3.0 is out
Can you show a screenshot of the preview with an object where the infill is strange? mhackney posted a couple earlier in the thread. I could be mistaken but I believe all the screenshots posted presented issues with the perimeters, not with the infill. I personally haven't found issues with the inf...

Re: S3D version 3.0 is out
Personally considering it's a design already in production, and in it's current form it's working fine, I wouldn't change it, because the only reason to change is if there would be benefits for the design, which I'm assuming s3d isn't really going to offer, at least not for that specific one. I beli...

Re: S3D version 3.0 is out
Hi can't test it at the moment since I don't have an available printer, however from what I read, it seems like it's a mixture of having the setting of "Optimize start points for fastest printing speed" instead of "Choose start point closest to specific location", and having 2 an...

Re: S3D version 3.0 is out
You should beware that there is a very high chance that the fast honeycomb will make structurally weaker parts than the grid infill.

Filament Tests
Hi, I haven't seen this posted here on the forum http://my3dmatter.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but I believe it's an interesting read for those that are interested in different filaments, and how infills and layer heights can affect print quality. Just 1 note on the...

Re: Hello From Portugal
My printer is coming even faster than I expected, UPS is expecting to deliver it this next Tuesday, I haven't even gotten the filament for it yet, since the supplier I used for the prusa doesn't have ABS for 1.75mm just PLA, guess this is a good time to try rs-components ABS. Hey there, I'm in the p...

Re: S3D version 3.0 is out
Have been using simplify3d for a little over 1 year, and personally don't really regret buying it, the reasons why I bought into it at the time was stuff like manual supports, and multiple profiles (I know you can edit gcode, but who wants to do that), other nice bonus were the insanely better slice...

Hello From Portugal

I'm Micael, I'm from Portugal, I'm a programmer and a electronics hobbyist, and I just ordered a rostock max V2 from robosavvy which should arrive before the next weekend if all goes well. I have been 3d printing for a bit over 1 year now, I currently have an aluminium reinforced prusa...

Re: S3D version 3.0 is out
Surprised that no one has mentioned a quite a nice addition, which is the "Print Every infill angle on each layer", before this update if you wanted to have say a 45 and a -45 degree angle in the same layer, you would need to increase infill Extrusion width from 100% to 200%, and ofc even ...
