Hello have been having a problem with the Extruder skipping. I have the Rostock V1 but upgraded the Extruder to the EZ struder years ago. I changed the extruder motor, cleaned out the Hotend, leveled, tried higher heat settings for ABS, 237 was the highest and still no luck. Anyone know where the ...

Re: Help! Odd Behavior, can't calibrate suddenly

Thanks you teoman for the link! Really helped, I think it's the motors as the problem is exactly the same and everything else is good on my printer. Luckily I have 4 extra's so will likely change the Z tower motor. I've had it since the Kickstarter so I imagine 1 or more motors are going since I've ...

Re: Help! Odd Behavior, can't calibrate suddenly

Thanks so much Ben, took each joint and rod off cleaned rods and arms reassembled, same problem.
I was so sure it would do the trick as they were almost all dirty but to no avail. Even after 2 calibrations for center and XYZ axis it still does the exact same thing.

puzzled. :/

Re: EzStruder doing strange quick retracts :(

I feel like a right Git wasting everyone's time. I cleaned the J-Head now everything is fine, something must have been in the filament, the jumping was caused by the blockage. Never had any blockage before after going through about 10 rolls of filament so far. thanks for all your help! That Quad ...

Re: EzStruder doing strange quick retracts :(

Does this skip during printing a line or perimeter not while Travelling I only use abs. What is causing this skipping? Makes no sense. I only use Cura now as I've used others and never get as good results. It's also not printing some perimeters smoothly kind of a slow studdering After the Arduino ...

Thanks all but it's no where there that I can find. I can't open dxf files also.
Thingiverse doesn't have anything that looks like the parts in the manual

EZSTRUDER mounting plate?

Hello I just bought an EZSTRUDER but there was no mounting plate with it so I can't use it.

Is there an stl file I can download to print one? I have the original Side spool holder I'd like to be able to just connect the EZstruder to that.

many thanks!

Re: Any way to improve parts where supports connect?

Water soluble supports??? Wow never heard of that, sounds pretty amazing!

Have to see what support there is for adding this on the Rostock max, I haven't even seen a picture of dual extruders on it though I've seen the add a sturder kit.

Hey folks. I'm wondering if there is any way to improve parts where supports connect? My supports stick to the object and I have to sand them off. Some parts I'm making, it's hard to sand into small holes. Is there a trick to not have the supports stick to the model so it has a cleaner finish ...

I bought the first set of Rostocks didn't have the sd card option

I just made an order for the ezstruder and J-head mound last week.
The 0.91 update was supposed to stop this so I didn't.

Re: Repetier 091 for Rostock MAX now available

YEEEE HAAAAWWW!!!! Thank you all so much! :D

I recalibrated and reversed the extruded motor setting and it's printing a print that always
stopped on me. Hopefully it works this now!

Motors sound much smoother now too, working great so far!
Happy Day! :D

Re: Repetier Firmware 0.91 officially released

Is there a build of 0.91 for the Rostock Max anywhere yet? ie. Where I just change my config.h settings and everything else is set for the Max?
I can't use the config tool, too much info to fill in that I don't know and the Master didn't work.
