Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I have a 12 pack on the way with the new V2 R2 platform. Thanks to JJ at SeeMeCNC. He sent me a platform and put the u joints I ordered in the box so I didn't have to pay shipping.

I was looking at Trick Lasers Carbon fiber arms. Will these work as well? they sure would be cheaper.

Previous statement not worded well. What i meant was the u joints would be cheaper and i was asking if the u joints would work as well as the Carbon fiber arms. Anyone have experience with both?

Will I need new axles?

Where do you get them?

How do you tell which platform you have? My platform has a part number of 70832. it had one lug for mounting the fan. I found an stl for the V2 platform that is labeled "70832 platform r2.STL SeeMeCNC Platform r2" and when i looked at it it had three lugs. I am having a problem with my Axles walking ...

If your screws are bottomed out then I would recommend that you unscrew all of them to the same height and start from scratch. Subtract about 1mm of your z level height before running your tower gcode to start with so your don't crash anything into your glass. It takes me a while if I do this ...

thanks

ok thanks

Fan didn't turn on. Do you know what setting i would need to change in slic3r to turn it on?

Thanks I will watch and see if the fan turns on

I am using an Orion And when i get to the last few layers that are small they are deformed. Here are some pictures of the problem. It almost seems like there isn't enough time between printing one layer and the next. Pictures of the prints https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9062478/IMG_4515.JPG ...

As Guano wrote above, page 25 of the Orion's user guide tells how to calibrate the Onyx. He did a great job in writing it so that it is understandable and it works really well. Follow that procedure and your platform should be level with the bed, the entire bed. Edit: Make sure you get the 2nd ...

look at the orion user manual page 25.. I wrote the process I use to calibrate the machine here at the shop. Guanu Thanks so setting the Z-height is all i need to do. I don't have to level the bed? I also own the Orion and all I had to do is set the z-height, no calibration should be needed. If you ...

How do you do bed leveling?

The good guys at SeeMeCNC sent me all new u-joints, axles, platform, mounts, and clips. I have them installed and I lightly greased the u-joints with lithium grease. Other than resetting the Z-height is there any other config changes i will need to make prior to running my first test print. Thanks ...

I made the change and it helped. But the print is still rough. here is a picture of the new print https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9062478/20140307_095506.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9062478/20140307_100217.jpg Any more ideas on how to get my printer printing more percise. Thanks Brian

Thanks I will try it tonight.

Hello i just bought an Orion printer from SeeMeCNC. This is my first experience with 3d printing. I am running .91 firmware and using the Slic3r ABS files provided to configure slic3r. measured my filament and it had a average diameter of 1.713425. I went into the slic3r config and changed the ...

Hello I just got my Orion and i have started to print and look forward to working with everyone to get the most out of my machine.
