Orion fs $399

One of the first I believe. 2013 I think? Runs great! I haven’t used it in a while, so I printed a things just to make sure I could still produce things with it. Everything looks really great. Any questions just ask.

We will have to figure out shipping, but should be able to make it work.

$399

Re: New Orion: Level Sequence?

Mortinus- I'm trying to adjust my horizontal radius and I'm not observing a change. Mine is pinning the paper down and no matter if I increase or decrease, the paper is still stuck. Have any ideas?

Re: Update: Early release of official 091 firmware

Updated last weekend. This solve the problem I had with prints stalling!! Woohoo. However, even after following the video, the head crashed into the bed after updating firmwares. No big deal to re-calibrate. Now, my bottom layers are not touching everywhere. I can see gaps. Do I just need to lower a...

Re: Prints Stopping

I've been printing only with the SD card, but I'll try one of the same files using my computer. I'll try that tonight.

Prints Stopping

I am having trouble and I've been messing within slic3r to try to fix my Orion from stopping in the middle of prints. It seems to be happening more often now. At first I was having trouble only with longer prints(overnight 8hrs+, under 24hrs). Now, I'm having trouble within the first 4 hours of prin...

Re: Printing smaller than written

I do have to say that .25mm is a crazy small amount to be talking about. Crazy that within a month I start to worry about fractions of a millimeter! impressive technology. Adds to my last question: If I add more perimeter, that DOES add it to the inside of the model, correct? Opposed to adding "...

Printing smaller than written

Having a great time with my Orion. Prints are looking great. I'm having a problem with incorrect sizing, however. My prints are coming out .25mm smaller than designed. I caliper a tube to fit inside a 3d printed object, but the hole created when calipered is always smaller and the tube will not fit....

Re: New to printing

Hopefully this doesn't upload sideways. I think it's looking pretty great! I've been trying to print small yoda heads to use as a monopoly piece, but I'm having problems with warping. Any suggestions for small pieces? I thought maybe I should place a couple on the build surface, so each layer could ...

Re: New to printing

Thanks Durandal! I do have an .edu address so I'm going to try those out tonight! Still haven't downloaded freeCAd and that seems to be most common? Lol Got my z-height all working with slic3r, so now I'm just trying to figure out which setting work best with different things. I was connecting to th...

Re: New to printing

I'm liking these forums! More action than I expected :P lol Ok, so I connected to repetier host last night and couldn't figure out how to move the extruder down in the software. Anyone who uses a Mac and Windows know if the Mac version is missing features? Or was I supposed to manually jig it down? ...

Re: New to printing

Thanks for the replies! Going to my Orion now to hook it up to the Macbook. I have a few successful prints so far. I was blown away with how great the test print looked. Can't wait to learn more about all these new-to-me softwares and thanks for making such a great machine!

New to printing

Hey everyone! Just got my Orion yesterday and boy is it awesome! Printed out a test print then started using some of my own designs. I have a question though. When I went to print the test vase, the nozzle seemed to be touching the bed when printing the skirt. No abs could be extruded and some of th...
