Re: Trick Laser MAX METAL Build

Nylocke is correct. No LEDs are covered up, they just happen to fit perfectly within the frame.

Re: Horizontal Radius missing in EEPROM

I think you have to send the "Clear EEPROM" sketch from Arduino THEN reflash firmware to get it to work.
It is in the example sketches

This drove me nuts until I figured out what was going on.
And has tripped me up a few times since, if I forget this step.

Re: Duet with 24V

A couple of points: 1. IMO there are two main advantages of using 24V power instead of 12V, which may or may not be relevant to your machine: - You can have double the bed heating power before you need to use an SSR - You can get higher speed from the motors. This is especially relevant when using ...

Re: USB Type-C Print Head Connection

Interesting concept. I like the idea of a simple clean plug in wiring to hot end.

Have you seen this ?

Re: Raft Printing Issues

You could also use Repetier host instead of Matter Control.

Yes, you can do a raft with either.

Re: Trick Laser Aluminum spreader having the opposite effect

So it just came in the mail yesterday - pulled off the glass and cleaned it, put the heat spreader on the HBP and clamped the it down with the glass on top. To my utter surprise it's actually taking MORE time to heat up..... With a goal of 100c, it's taken about 10min to go from 80c to 85c. I live ...

Re: TridPrinting balljoint arms

I use regular nuts on outside, never had any problem.
You could used nylocks if you want.
They can be a bit of a pain getting position right because rod wants to turn when tightening nut, that the only reason I don't use them on outside.

Only "negative" is loss of Z height. No, you don't need to change any firmware settings other than setting your new Z0. Actually I prefer under mount, it is easier to see print in progress and I have found hot end runs cooler and more reliable. Several of my printers are setup this way. On...
