The heat spreader sounds like an idea. I didn't think of that. I might have a got at that. As for uniformity, I haven't tried just printing a single layer and checking it. I have done the calibration and got it very zeroed at each of the towers and consistently hitting the right spacing. I even ...

So I have been having an issue with this printer since I've owned it and I'm thinking I may have finally figured it out, but wanted to run it by everyone here. Whenever I try and printer larger items on my V1, I have terrible lifting on my ABS prints. I though there may be a draft, bad leveling and ...

So I resliced it and tried it this morning at it came out fine after the 2 failed attempts yesterday afternoon, so I'm still leaning towards Slic3r doing something funny.

Nevermind... it must be the gcode as the reprint just did it again in the same spot. Slic3r must have had a hiccup.

So now that I got my new E3D running due to my printer breaking the stock one, I've been running it pretty solid for about a day for about a dozen or so prints coming off it. Then I just had a print fail like it did before it crashed and broke the last hot end. Knowing this, I rechecked the ...

It's actually not purple, but rather a dark metallic blue.

I don't know. he wasn't the most talkative of guys. I do rather like it. He didn't exactly do the wiring nicely, though, so I went and redid all the wiring so it comes down the center instead of just running over the side. I see why people like to upgrade to this hot end. I'm already getting better ...

And we are back in business. I figured it had to be something simple and it was just too late after a long day. Now it's off to calibration land I go...

That was quick. Lovin this community already. Here is a pic of the stepper gear if that helps to determine what version I have. The Y does seem to be inverted, didn't think to check the invert flag, will do that. The arm length was already set to 269 in the version I downloaded. The motors are ...

So I purchased a Max V1 off craigslist and have been fixing it up and making some improvements to it. I've gotten a few prints off of it, nothing special, but I'm playing. But then out of no where, I finished 1 print and loaded another in Repitier host and sent it to the printer. Don't know why, but ...
