Re: Needed specs for converting to 24v bed

That's interesting... for me, it seemed to take a little longer to get to temp with the heat spreader. But it seems to be more stable after getting to temp. I really want to do the conversion.... but if it's $100 to do it right, there are other upgrades to consider first. I can't decide if I want t...

Re: Very odd temp problem

Sounds like a bad thermistor. At room temp what ohm reading is your thermistor at?

Re: Inaccurate prints

With 7 solid top layers (try 4) your print does not have enough time to cool before it adds the next layer and collectively the top box of your print stays molten longer causing the issues you see. You could slow your print down(try this first as it will also help the ripple/ghosting in your print),...

Re: Inaccurate prints

Looks like you are possibly seeing your infill pattern show through your outer shells. try 3-4 outer shells on that print again. Your last issue seems to be your print cooling fan is not set at a high enough flow. Are you printing outside in or inside out?

You do not want air currents near your printer when using abs, your part will warp if you do.

Re: Greetings from Santa Cruz, and a question!

Adjust your z height a little lower so the nozzle extrudes a wider bead on the first layer. Is your first layer 50% slower then the others? Are you applying the glue on a room temp build surface? Have you tried increasing the hotend temp? Are your temps stable when printing? +/- .5 degrees Is your p...

Re: PEI Print Surface How To - recap

You can add KAPTON tape(on the side your not going to print on) before you install the adhesive on your PEI sheet as an alternative to using flat black bbq/stove paint, that way dc42's Mini Height Sensor Board will trigger properly.

Re: Rostock Max V2 DC42s Mini Height Sensor Board Mount

It works great if you paint the back of the PEI matt black first. I used spray on barbecue/stove paint and cured it in a domestic fan oven at 170C for a couple of hours. After that the paint adheres really well to the PEI. The reason for the paint is that PEI is transparent to IR, and you don't wan...

Sounds like endstop adjustments and more paper! :D You may also want to watch your effector as its moving, you may be slightly loading/torquing (from your wire harness and air tube) directly opposing your y tower amplifying your issue. I also had great results (easier bed leveling) by just floating ...
