Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I have always used Mattercontrol for all my printing/slicing and have never had a drama, I dont see why I should swap to CURA for slicing. I have tried using the SD card for printing, but my printer keeps turning itself on and off when the card is inserted.... I am yet to try some other cards as ...

Off the top of my head 50mm/retraction speed.

Tonight I also just wanted to make sure that I was extruding the correct amount... So just using Mattercontrol I extruded 100mm 5 times and every time I got a different result.... by up to 40-50mm.

Just struggling with this one now...

Lowered my temps to 175/180 and prints failed... So I think I should be pretty spot on around 185/190. Currently printing; -185 Degrees (Verbatim PLA) - 55 Bed temp - 300mm/s Non print move speed - Retraction at 3.5mm Stringing is still pretty bad. Seems like I keep adjusting retraction then I get ...

Hi Guys, I have been playing around setting up my printer again after about 12 months being packed away... So far I have spent a heap of time just trying to get it to print reliably again and Im running into 2 main problems which I cant seem to iron out. 1) I seem to get a bit of oozing on at least ...

Hopefully someone will be able to help me out!! Its a Max V2 with; Prometheus V2 Bond Tech QR Trick Laser 325mm CF arms Moulded carriages Everything is level and straight as I have checked a heap of times. I have just adjusted the belt tension to see if that fixes the issue..... Would a loose belt ...

Hi Guys, Just looking a for a little advice before I pull the machine apart... My V2 had been sitting around for a while while I was going through a house renovation/ shed build.... so the poor little fella sat around gathering dust for over 12 months. I have it back up and running now (had to ...

Have you had any luck with this? I decided to fire my V2 back up after a while renovating the house. I upgraded Mattercontrol and the latest firmware for the V2 and I have intermittent extrude too.... You can use the termainal window and do a G1 E100 F1500 to extrude 100mm of filament and this works ...

I have done just that... Thanks Gene.

Is there something I should be changing in the firmware? I have set it at the recommended steps/5mm as it seemed to be over extruding. But now does not spit out 100mm when I want it to...

I have setup my Bond tech QR (1.75) and did the stepper calibration but I seem to be getting around 580 for the 100mm test.... Not 455-490 like Im assuming the setting should be...

Anyone able to help?

Hi Eaglezsoar, I had only used the stock hot end prior to upgrading to the all metal hot end. I got similar results. Essentially I upgraded so I could crank the heat a bit with some different filaments. Plus the Prometheus gets a pretty good rap.... The only issue I had was with a faulty collet and ...

Yea mate its around 5 inches I think....The STL file was way smaller, I had to scale it up. Going to do another LARGER one.

Prometheus Hot end, TL CF arms, 0.25mm, 30mm/s, verbatim blue PLA.

Was happy with how it turned out, slowly learning all the in's and out's of the Max V2.

I think I'll go with the SD card from now on! Haven't really looked into using it yet but will for sure now. Have some long and importing prints to do!!

image.jpg First big print after installing the Prometheus and the tricklaser CF 325mm arms. It's a tea and coffee caddy to go in a few of the air BnB units the missus and I have. Long print and had 3 fails because my Mac was going to sleep when I wasn't at home! Coming out real good! Thanks to ...

Thanks Brian,

I re-did the PID auto tune. Finally printing and it's bloody good!!!

Got it all sorted now... All good just needed some finessing.....

The horizontal radius does change each time you undertake the z calibration. As per the manual its advised to change that value buy 0.5mm up or down until you gain the correct height at the bed centre. I haven't even gotten to this stage yet as per my posts above. But yes I was wondering if this ...

Firmware updated and uploaded successfully...

I'm gathering the horizontal radius EEPROM input may have something to do with it? As that value is very close to my old setup with the old arms... I just made it 126 to see if it would have a difference. As per the manual if I want to lower the nozzle the increase the value, raise nozzle decrease ...

Changed the thermistor type in the firmware and re uploaded. I did the same and just changed the diagonal rod value to 325mm in EEPROM. The issue I'm having now is when I do the z height calibration I have my end stops maxed out to the bottom and the nozzle is still hitting the build plate ...

Hi guys, Just made a few upgrades and I'd love a little clarification. I have installed a V2 Prometheus and the longer 325mm arms. Can anyone give me an idea of how to change the firmware settings for the thermistor and the 325mm arms? I have had a crack at it and I just want to make sure I have ...

No worries, I'll have to see what I can source in NZ, but I'm sure any electrical shop should be able to help me out. Thanks again!

Hi! Love the build! Where did your source the wiring protector that hangs down from your top plate into the build area... For the life of me I cant find anything like it and I want to find one.

Keep up the good work!
