Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I reread the words of Jimustanguitar again carefully and see my problem may be just another software failure I am scheduled to demo the Orion next Wednesday so I'll pursue both hardware and software solutions.

Sounds like I have the same problem or very close to it. A couple of days ago I followed MatterControl instructions to reset the Touch sustem after layers wouldn't create. My Orion printed a couple of small test pieces then dropped from 210 C to 152. End of print. I am not skilled at repairing ...

I noodled around on Google for a common description of the hardness of this material. Strontium Aluminate gets as hard a silica sand, Mohs' Scale 7. Might as well put sand through your machine. I read that someone in Europe is working on a tungsten-Nickle alloy that conducts heat as well as brass ...

I'd like to do a lot more glow filament printing. Are there any wear resistant nozzles, anything from plated brass to tungsten allow nozzles that can be swapped into an Orion printer? Is anyone having problems with the strontium Aluminide loaded filament produced by Prototype supply as sold by Toy ...

My other half downloaded an update to our Mattercontrol Touch before we had resolved earlier problem. Now the Touch is completely locked up. We are taking the case directly to MatterControl.

still will not start creating layers.

I tried putting two items in the queue and sent Print to the first one. It got as far as: writing layers 1/48 for a small wingnut. Maybe an error in the code somewhere. Any fixes?

Um, that was not the problem. The stale filament was just an aside. The machine still responds to PRINT with preparing to slice model. I left it off over-night. When I turned it on it started to slice what I had left in the print queue. I didn't want that thing and stopped it. It then went directly ...

The old orange filament I was using has some twist in in from the reel and hours after I stopped printing it snapped apart on its own

I have a new orion printer with the factory installed software. Linked to a matter control touch. Yesterday I downloaded a cow pattern from thingiverse and printed it three times as well as a Dorus little dragon. When I added the cow again and sent Print all I get is : preparing to print . I expect ...

I've done inverted printing breifly with my Bukito Printer. Only to show off that it would work that way. wouldn't recommend it as a regular thing.

I've read that the older zinc sulfide glow filament glows less and for less time than filament using strontium aluminate. Both use traces of other elements like copper for red glow in zinc or certain rare earth elements in the Sr-Al stuff. Oh, ZnS filament is much cheaper. So where can I get the ...

Retired Mining Engineer ( real mining, not data) - Used a Bukito for over a year and wanted to try something newer in a delta form. The man who sold me the Bukito recommended the Orion. Two possible upgrades (no - three) would be a higher temperature extruder, a hardened nozzle, and the "app" in ...

it may just be that missing decimal. I found the outer surface setting was 0. , not o.1 or 0.anything. I set it on standard, 0.6mm and will try again. That seems to have been it. printed the little SeeMeCNC blinky logo. REally stuck to the platform let it cool down and used a sharp solid dinner ...

Army, somewhat. Army Security Agency in particular. Its been over 20 years so I can admit we radio intercepted enemy and Allied communications and started the decryption. NSA and DIA did the rest. It paid my way through engineering school.

If it goes to the right place, then it is likely a slicer issue (Perhaps a decimal point got missed/misplaced). G is finicky stuff, and the slicers are just the same. I today found no less than five places over 1500~ lines of G I wrote where I had moved a decimal or typed too many numbers, or ...

GO Z0 F1500 went down to the platform firmly enough so that the slip of paper would not pull out unless I tore it. The three end stop bolts/screws and their plastic holders feel non moving under finger pressure. Fun figuring out symbols on the Touch screen. New to a 'Nam era Vet who used carbon ...

Okaaaay, I am so new to this I am not sure what you mean by GO Z0. A G code command to bring the tip down to where the machine thinks the zero point is? I'll start looking for training on how to use G code. In the mean time is it safe to use the printed instructions I got from SeeMeCNC tech support ...

Tried to condense the problem into the subject line. I got my stock Orion printer three weeks ago. Today I noticed it starting a print about 2-3 mm above the blue tape. I ran through the z setting procedure and it still printed up off the plate. Did a reset Z and it still went in the air. I', hoping ...

Thanks. Guided by your system I've used a very long rubber band once used holding shipping covers onto wine barrels. one end looped around the tube and the other over one of the pulley housings on top of the Orion. Any disasters will be my fault.

My Orion's braided tube holding cables and the bowden tube hung up on one of the vertical sliders and that motor kept turning dragging the belt in a noisy shaking way. Is there some neat way to keep the thing from hanging up short of my using a tiny bungee cord to hold it away from other moving ...

It was her idea to get a printer in the first place. She was still working in Engineering and saw her retired Mining Engineer spouse going tech flabby cycling, gardening and doing Google Earth stuff. So we got a a Bukito a couple of years ago. Now an Orion. We both enjoy taking one to a local eatery ...

Thank you for the quick response!
That sound is me face-palming, because I didn't see anything about not calibrating my assembled printer!
I hope I can recover...

I live in Northern California wine country. I used a Bukito from Deezmaker until I wore it out. having spent more time keeping it going then printing I and the family accountant searched for an assembled Delta printer. Size was no matter as I enjoy taking the machine to a local eatery and printing ...
