Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I should have mentioned that I did do an air test without filament. That was how i was better able to judge the movement and speeds of the end effector and extruder. I did as you suggested and made sure that the connections were secure and secure. Then used the terminal in Matter Control to issue ...

My Rostock max V2 started showing erratic behavior. Previously it was running as expected. Tried to print a part and noticed that the extruder was continuously grinding away at the filament and the print speed seemed random. I did try a different slicer with the same results. To get a better idea of ...

Thank you for the advice.

Thanks to all for now. I will be playing machinist this week and free time will probably be limited.

Thanks rubiks 24 for the information. I quickly scanned the pages and found the information where he talks about his method to keep the towers parallel to each other. The last time I semi rebuilt this printer I built a platform from Mic 6 aluminum that fits on the printer in place of the melamine ...

Tincho85, I do understand your concern regarding my cnc machine not being properly calibrated. I work in a family owned machine shop. If I remember correctly we laser calibrated the mill on which my parts were produced 2 summers ago. I do thank you for giving me that thought to consider. Qdeathstar ...

I should be able to post a picture or two this evening or in the early morning hours. Probably print something so that it is hot off of the printer.

Thanks

I have printed some parts. This printer does print some amazing looking pieces when the material is dialed in. The most impressive thus far was a Voronoi/Voronol Human Skull, there was some internal stringing but the results were amazing. there was also the Yoda and a Dragons head. There have been a ...

Thank you for your input Qdeathstar. All numbers in my original post are in millimeters. However, I did notice one mistake where I described the points as indicated by the digital indicator. The reading at the Z tower should be .01 mm not .001 as I indicated in my original post. I am now including a ...

Hello I have been trying to dial in certain aspects of my Rostock Max v2 for quite some time now and seem to be stuck. These include flatness of the bed to the machine and the ability to print objects that are square or as programmed. First some printer history. This printer was purchased used and ...

I have discovered a PLA filament and have a couple of questions regarding it. The resin is made by NatureWorks. The specific name seems to be “Ingeo PLA” even more specific “Ingeo PLA 3d850”. Is this something you have used, what were your experiences? I tried to do a search for anybody that has used ...

Thank you for the help. I was able to complete a session with OpenDACT (11 iterations). My previous mistake was with the advanced screen and the "Probing Height" I took it to mean the height between the nozzle and the probe actuation point. Your reply is greatly appreciated. Upon completing the ...

Good Evening MIhelich Although I have not used the earlier versions of OpenDACT I do not believe the current one is able to be used manually. From what I can tell we are not capable of inputting the necessary information by hand. CaptainMerica I believe that the probe height is where the software ...

At first I was able to get OpenDact to operate as expected a couple of times. But recently it has not been operating as expected. I would like to eliminate the variable of operator error so, I will mention my settings at the time of the last failure. Using the Check Current Heights function, my z ...

If you have read the previous post you are aware of my problem. It pertains to OpenDACT300A, I have since uninstalled it and installed OpenDact3.0.1PA and have had a successful calibrating session. I have no Idea what what was happening with the previous version, I do thank anyone who even gave it a ...

I finally got to try auto calibrating today. But I am experiencing problems. When running the setup application pressing the Basic Calibration causes the printer to do what I would consider "taking a reading" in several locations while ignoring others. This is what is happening. The probe rapids to ...

I don't think I blew anything up yet.

Thank you all for your help.

Thanks for your help, I will check them out.

Please excuse me if I am asking such an obvious question but, I am trying to get OpenDACT running on my printer. I have searched and have not been able to fine an answer to my problem...My question is as follows... I am supposed to connect the micro switch to the Z axis minimum receptacle on the ...

Thank you for your help. I got to thinking that these connectors look similar to the ones used in the RC Model Airplane World (something I pretended to do in another life). I dug thru some of my old stuff and found some old servo connectors and extensions. I believe I will try this for now. What I ...

My intention is to get my Rostock Max v2 set up so I can utilize the Open DACT software on my machine. I realize that I will need to add a micro switch to the existing electronics of my machine. The trouble that I am having is locating a supplier that sells the connectors that plug into the Rambo ...

Thank you for your post. Something else I have failed to mention is I have used Rollie Rolland's html delta calibration tool. The 7 points on the heated bed that the program used to level it are are all within plus or minus .02mm. It is possible should have posted this question in the OpenDACT ...

Maybe I should also mention, I was trying the print the Maker Fair Robot. The "M" on the front of the robot was legible while, the back side is impossible to discern the text. The orientation of the robot is as follows. The front left and front right arm of the robot fall on the -X and +X axis ...

Good Evening I am trying to dial in my filament flow rate so that my printer is extruding neither too much or too little filament. What I am finding is that, the extrusion width in front of the z tower is thinner by about .13 mm. Other towers and their opposites are plus or minus .o4mm. Can you ...

Good Morning I have just finished using your manual version for calibrating my Rostock Max v2 and am very happy with the results, even though I have not yet tried to print anything. Thank you for investing your time in something that is sure help many others. I have been thru this thread and not ...
