on your lcd, sroll down and find what your steps per mm is set at for the extruder......

Im pretty sure its machinable, would almost have to be. Guess Ill be finding out in 2 weeks.....

What slicer are you using? and what do you have the top layers set too?

I do alot of investment casting and also lost pla casting. The lost pla is great, but there are a couple of draw backs you run into with it. Ever since ive had my printer i was wishing a printable wax filament would come out. I saw on 3ders a couple weeks ago the the company that produces laywood wa...

By thermal stress i mean onse side of the print cooling faster than the other which causes stress on the part and the layers let go forming a crack.

Cupboards must be bigger in your neck of the woods

ok here is what I have going on.

I bought a kit from dave clements (arizona video on YouTube ) and the hybrid steppers and drivers from kelling.

Michael, is there anything i should be specifically paying attention to during the build? Ive had this machine since december and havent really touched it. Too easy to use the bp with dro. lol

Well, i have to say im not real pleased with bobcads if you buy it tomorrow after your demo or this offer go's away sales pitch. They have really rubbed me the wrong way especially since they recommend cancelling my demo if i wasnt ready to purchase to free up thier instructor's time. Anyone ever l...

Personally i would rather purchase from a company that doesnt sway from thier set price. Im buying a product, not a used car from Jimmy Joe's car emporium. Well hey yall sure i got a car just for ya it for sale for 6500. Dollars but you take it right now ill let ya have it for just 3000.. Test drive...

Ive been looking into cam software myself and just downloaded the bobcad-cam demo. Having some trouble figuring things out with it. Sales Rep already called/emailed (that was quick) Im going to watch a live demo tomorrow. They have a 50% offf sale this week....Ugg wheres that tax return???

no dampners here....there is a difference when printing in pla vs abs. the banding seems much more pronounced when printed in pla....

well, it should smoosh into the bed at each axis...... very perplexing. Im sure you hate it big time, but damn its so interesting!

Holy cow!! (actually thats cool as shit) whats your horizontal radius set to? Strange though if you went thru the cailbration and it meets the bed at all 3 towers and at center....

ok here is a 25mm cube printed at 100 microns and 20mm/sec. The banding seem to be about 1.5mm, but with 3 distinct lines in each band. Maybe im seeing what I want to see, but thats what it looks like to me.. Now what is the diameter of the timing pulleys? I cant quite get my caliper in there to mea...

Yep, scratch the triangle idea...

The spacing is too consistant for it to be resonance or vibration. I was measuring them on my prints and they are very close to being a perfect 1mm spacing at lower speeds. Im thinking the reason it is less noticeable at higher speeds is that there is some lash in the machine that covers it up. Real...

ok here is the one with infill just as sliced. hard to see the banding on such a small piece but its there.

Back those retracts way down!! If that doesnt fix it cut back on your layer cooling.

still running nema 17's???

Is that the octive abs? And has anyone built a quad capable of lifting a person? Lol

Yes, the SD card holds the configuration and firmware files as well. There's not an EEPROM to access though, or at least it doesn't work with the hosts I've tried so far. Bit confused....so you can have your G-code on the same card? And view files thru a lcd as well? Guess i should do some surfing ...

Can you print from a sd card with the smoothie board?

Might help to show your location......
