Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

So I am on my first print! DSCN3181_sm.JPG 20151122_165026_sm.jpg DSCN3141_sm.JPG Some new features I haven't mentioned yet: - RADDS yes I decided to go for a new 32bit controller - Flying Extruders mostly worries about long bowden tubes, and thought I would give it a try I did a quick overview ...

So for anyone following along the issue was the little NEMA 17 motors. The ones I have: moons type 17hd4063-01n I can't find any documentation that gives its operating voltage but whatever is going on after replacing them I haven't blown a fuse yet. I still don't get how the apparent undersized fuse ...

So I am almost done with the build, lots of little details that took quite some time, and wiring has proved to be rather tedious, I wish I had routed wires down the extrusions earlier... Anyways I am currently stuck on one electronics issue. I am running a RADDS on arduinio DUE and I keep blowing ...

Thanks... not quite as simple as the MAX METAL but does work well for building around having an enclosure. If 8020 ever releases a '2096' I may consider designing a smaller SeeMeCNC size version... or just buy your upgrade;)

They are 80-20 4096 extrusions, I think they are fairly new at least when I started the design. They are only in the metric 40mm size but I found the 40 size is close enough to the 15 series (1.5") which I had some of. they are also nice to use since they have a number of internal channels which ...

Well its been 9 months and I have finally gotten through the majority of the build. RoStockFAZZ_v1.1.jpg I made a few improvements: - Re-did the bottom to be simpler and have the bed leveling screws in line with the vertical axes - Extended the chamber to above the filament to hopefully help keep it ...

Hi all thanks for the input, Durandal: Thanks for confirming about the belts, I haven't had any issues with mine but my SpiderBot has really wide belts and is smaller than the MAX. It is much more rigid than the MAX so I am wondering if wider belts would remove a little slop. While everyone sees my ...

Hi all, So after plenty of time with my two delta printers (RostockMAX v1 and SpiderBot) I felt the need for a bigger one. Having designed my own replacements parts for most of the machine (other than the frame) I decided to go for my own design from scratch because its more fun that way. My goals ...

Thanks for the input some things to try... Generic Default: - I definitely agree tight tolerances and a better wear surface are a must. - I think one reason I had to add so much slop was the press fit was a bit tight and wasn't completely centered I used an H drill bit instead of 6.8 or 6.9mm ...

So I have made some progress. With an updated design and very specific and kinda pricey springs I have a functioning autolift hot end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELL2_QI5YEk&feature=youtu.be 20141208_211614_sm.jpg 20141208_211628_sm.jpg A couple issues I still have: 1. It can tend to stick ...

Hi all, I have been using something similar for quite some time on a couple delta printers and I don't think the weight it an issue. As Nylocke said it isn't much different from a kraken (never used one myself but the volume of aluminum and water is pretty similar from what I can tell, and theirs is ...

Hi all, So this is esentially v2 of a water cooled hot end I posed about a while back: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=5711&p=42760#p42760 CrossSection.jpg 20141114_195925_sm.jpg 20141124_123506_sm.jpg 20141114_195931_sm.jpg With a few significant improvements: - Switched to kraken ...

Mhacknev yes I really like water cooled setups more complicated but more elegant in m opinion;) Hi Cap'n, - Did you play with alternatives for the water channeling that kept it all internal? Possibly chucking the block in a lathe and turning a channel the whole way around, then turning up a cap of ...

Hi all, Here is a water cooled triple extruder I have been working on for a while. I have it working on my RoStockMAX_v1 and recently on my SpiderBot. It is meant to be pretty 'simple' (if not time consuming) to make so long as you have a lathe for the hot ends. I have so far only used dual ...

So I ran a 40 hour print at around 70mm/s feeds with no offset issues. So after quite some time trying to track this down looks like it was rumba all along.

So before I left on a week long vaca I ran a long print that was almost finished before going to airport... I had put the original rambo in. The prinit looked good so next I'll try tightening the cheapskates a little and increase the speed. If all goes well I'll eventually switch to megatronics ...

n9wxu: I didn't add a diode, snubber, or capacitor across it ... I ordered some SSRs (something I meant to do a while back). Do you still suggest adding circuitry with an SSR? Could the 'unblocked' relay board have caused any permanent damage to the rumba board? Other than the loss of steps and ...

Hi all thanks for the suggestions, and thanks n9wxu for the detailed explanation of how end stops pick up noise. I have the 'always check endstops' un-checked in repetier so unless the wires from the end stops pick up noise like antennas and it somehow gets into the rumba board I don't think that is ...

Hi all, I have been battling this for a while now (Y axis for me) with no luck as of yet. I have tried many things: - Belt tensioners - RC type Ball ends - Switching to 1.75mm filament - loosing the cheapskates - adjusting up stepper driver power I have the endstops only checked during homing. I ...

Ok so image size matters. I was trying big images... scaling them down to 300dpi and ~4-5in allowed them through... cameras nowadays... Thanks for the help

I figured out how to upload some pics... So here are a couple pics of the old setup: DSCN1375_sm.jpg DSCN1378_sm.JPG While I could have tried 1.75mm all from the side I think having the extruders radially spaced around is much better. Here is what I am working on now: AboveBelow2.jpg I really think ...

files are *.jpg. I have tried a 3.4MB one and a reduced version that is 940KB both failed

I'd love to show a pic but can't seem to add attachments to the forum. Unfortunately, after spending quite some time on that setup I accepted it is no good and have switched to 1.75mm filament and mounted extruders from above. When I get a setup that seems reliable I plan to put it up on thingiverse ...

Hi I have been a member for a few weeks and am un-able to upload images. When I click 'Add the file' it shows an uploading progress bar then I get a blank white screen. Sorry to ask a simple question here but I can't find a mention of how to contact the admins.

Thanks,

Mike

So both pictures show the same thing which is the exit of the extruder points down and radially outward... Anyways I tried a setup with the tube pointed inward and I think with multiple extruders this could cause an issue... So I'll point mine outward like the TrickLaser one.

Thanks
