Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I had the same thing happen to me.

I thought there was some sort of safety built into the firmware, where if the heater continued to heat, and the thermistor wasn't sensing a temperature change, it would shut it off after so many minutes. in your case since the thermistor was out, it should have not allowed it to get that hot.. imma...

Famous for not leaving well enough alone, I wanted to mount the extruder on the endefector. Lots of the problems I was having (I thought/think) stemmed from the bowden tube set up vs the direct drive style. After seeing the EZStruder released, I decided to mount it on the endefector and just sacrifi...

I've played with a few settings to try and minimize the seam created by the printer stopping and starting each layer, but I haven't been able to get it as good as I'd hope. I know its not going to go away completely, but my suspicion is its capable of doing better than it is. I used the randomize st...

Do you have an aluminum plate with glass on top?

how did you guys order the mounts, i dont see it on the website. I just ordered the kit on SeeMeCNC's site. He showed it in the video, I assumed it came with it (even though it isn't pictured on the website) website doesn't show the mounts or mention anything about it. waiting for email from john. ...

Do you have a post that details your setup?

I ordered mine a few hours ago.

I sure hope this works like I'm expecting. So sick of dealing with the retract issues...

Have you used that type of heater?

If so, what has your experience been with it? Heat up times?

This is something a little different, so I figured I'd share. At work we have a few circuit boards that we have to pot. For anyone who doesn't know what that means, its essentially covering part of the board with an adhesive to protect the active components from the environment. Typically the adhesi...

What kind of settings are you using for the retract?

I'm struggling to get that right. Otherwise I love this material, I can't believe how strong it is!

Do you mean set correctly in KISSlicer/Slic3r? or set correctly as in using the smaller knurled grooves?

If so, yes I'm sure of that.

I was initially having issues with the filament buckling and being pushed out the side of the extruder... Polygonhell's extruder cap fixed that problem (Thank you!) Now I can't get the extruder to reliably feed filament to the nozzle. It will just start slipping on the filament. I've tried the follo...

The extruder cap worked for me too.

Thanks for the help guys!

Polygonhell, you are a life saver my friend! I've been fighting with this issue for days and couldn't get anywhere. I managed to print it off in nylon (thinking it would cause the least amount of friction) and used some jewelers files to finish it off so it fits perfectly. I still wish I knew what c...

I’ve been struggling the last few days with this issue. I’ll start a print and it goes ok for a little bit (< 10 min) and it’ll start pushing filament (both PLA and ABS) out the side of the extruder. I’ve also noticed that the Bowden tube flexes and torques like crazy when its extruding. It got so b...

Leave it to me to somehow have a completely different set of choices from everyone else. Any ideas about why I don't have the option to "transform axes"? I'm having this same issue, have you resolved this yet? I'm loving KISSlicer, but I'm limited because I can't rotate the objects... Edi...

cambo3d wrote:very nice, i'm going to be doing this to my rostock also as soon as the parts get here, what did you use to make yours?

What parts did you choose for your mod?

This is exactly what I wanted to do to mine.

How much slop is there in the system now (if any). My experience with those type of joint is they tend to have a little slop in them.

How is it working?

cassetti, Thanks for the reply, I’ve spent probably about 8 hours working on leveling the bed. I can command the z axis down to 0 and steer the nozzle around the entire bed (using the manual control arrows) and it will drag a piece of paper with it everywhere, never digging in, or letting go (while ...

I struggled a decent amount to get things set up right at first, but I’m incredibly happy with how it’s been performing lately. I’ve printed damn near half a roll of calibration cubes and the end fill test part as recommended by mhackeny. I decided to try to print the owl on a log piece that I see e...

Printing two parts is a great idea! It makes a lot of sense.

I can't wait to try that.... I might have to sneak out of work to run home and try it!

I'd say you have other issues. Delta arms may be an issue but it isn't obvious from these parts, they look pretty good from that perspective in fact. To me, it looksmore like an extruder/plastic flow problem firstly. Maybe too much filament and/or too hot. How fast are you printing. We suggest sloo...

I'm struggling a little here... I was hoping to post some pictures up and get some feedback. All of these are done with the same settings, using ABS. It appears to be spot on sometimes and off others. It's also always accurate close to the bed That right angle part was doing great, then when it star...
