Re: Brim Offset - or - WTF

Do you have any plugins enabled in Cura? Try disabling them.

Re: Unsolved Mystery. Weird Z0 behavior around build perimet

Hey guys, Could something like each tower's depth into the base of the printer affect calibration? The towers I recieved looked like they had been filed down on the sides to ease their insertion into the body of the printer. The screw head that stops the towers is hitting the tower on this rounded e...

Re: Brim Offset - or - WTF

Are your motors missing steps? Is it always offset in the same direction? Make sure your controller is getting good airflow, if it overheats you'll miss steps.

Re: Printer Shifting by half a cm around the 50th layer

If you're using Cura, make sure you don't have any malfunctioning plugins. I had one that after 5cm height was moving the nozzle off the bed. Took me way too long to figure out what was happening.

Re: Onyx Rev 2 24 V question

Maybe I misread it. If you apply 24v @ 20 amps to the bed will it be too much power? I got this PSU http://www.ebay.com/itm/161457595622" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and this SSR http://www.ebay.com/itm/400732633009" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;...

Onyx Rev 2 24 V question

I got a mean well 24v psu, a crydom ssr and a 12v converter to power the rambo. I've read that extra resistance is required between the ssr and the onyx bed. I wasn't sure how much I should add for the Rev 2, everything I've read is for later version boards.

Re: Wiring Rambo Rostock - latest

You have the peek fan that blows air on the hot end, a layer fan for blowing on the part being printed, and the power going to the hot end. When trying to fish wires, try taking one of the larger wires, solder the other wire to that, feed the large wire through (very easy) then pull the rest of the ...

Re: Bottom base not level

It actually looks like the Z arm isn't perpendicular to the bed, the top of the tower needs to lean in to make the square touch the far side of the bed. How do we tweak the angle of the towers?
