Re: Power supply fail?

Update:

I was kindly sent a new PSU by the people of SeeMeCNC.
De swap still has to be done, but I'm a bit involved in another project for the moment.
So...it will take some time for the PSU swap to happen.
As soon as I have results, you all will be the first to know :-)

Re: Power supply fail?

Final:

Reducing the bed temperature when printing ABS is the solution to avoid the PSU shutting down.
I can't go to 90°C (as indicated in the ABS._Slic3r.ini file suplied by SeeMeCnc).
80°C Works.

Re: Power supply fail?

I printed again this morning...but I reduced the bed temperature to 40°C. That seemed to help, but now I have to alter my print strategy because some support material is knocked over (this means that I printed longer and more than last try). I redesigned the model and will do a print later. If I can ...

Re: Power supply fail?

This morning I printed with the frontpanel removed and both side panels slightly open...with no effect. The bed temp is 90°C for the first few layers...and is reduced to 80°C working temperature afterwards. Is it so that steppermotors run quite hot? (you can't touch them, that hot). I bought a o ...

Re: Power supply fail?

My 'PSU shutting down' problem keeps returning.
I've checked the PSU cooling fan, and it's not blocked or stuck, it runs fine :-)
It seems to apear when printing smaller parts, with support material included...

Contacted SeeMeCNC, I hope something can be done about it.

Re: Power supply fail?

Did some printing, again without any trouble.
The Orion seems to have a hidden 'self healing' function :-)

Re: Power supply fail?

I printed the part again yesterday evening, but turned model upside down, so that less support material was needed...and used the usb connection instead (2 other fails were SD card prints)...and had the same power failure after about 1/2 hour. This morning I printed something else, straight from the ...

Re: Power supply fail?

@ Eaglezsoar: I used a Sandisk 8 gig High Capacity Micro SD card in a adaptor... I'll retry the print using a laptop usb setup. I'm quite new to 3D printing...not new to CNC code though (programmed a CMS Brembana G-Rex for 2.5 years). Yesterday I printed with no problem. Today I removed slack in 2 ...

Re: Power supply fail?

Today I had the same problem. As I was printing a small item (30mm by 30mm by 12mm), my Orion Delta (fairly new, arrived last week) powered down completely without notice at about 60% of the print. Flicking the power button off and on again, made the printer come back to life. I started the same ...
