Re: Autocalibration Failing

It looks like the thick red wire (yes i'm an idiot) had come a bit loose actually. I am not sure how as it wasn't very tight. I cut and reset it and it went through the whole thing. Thank you so much.

Autocalibration Failing

I searched through the forums and didn't see the issue I am having today. I haven't used my printer for a few weeks, decided I wanted to play around and started the autocalibration process. It fails on the Z axis wholly. It goes through X calibration a bit, then Y, then gets to Z and freezes. No ...

Issues with flow and heat (RosMax3)

Okay so I've been making a few prints and adjustments based on some other trouble shooting steps I've seen. My first benchy was subpar to say the least. Some changes to the eeprom I saw here made the second much better! But I had some issues with a series of very simple shapes, including a 2mm thick ...

Re: Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

Alright. So my benchy is printing. Had to bribe an electrical engineer friend to come help me but it's going now! Yay!

Re: Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

Sigh. Got it.

The screws that are on the arms are supposed to go INTO the holeabove and they were each just missing it.

Re: Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Let me actually back up. Forget the pi. I go to calibrate my machine and i think something is quite wrong. I do the 'home' command, g28, and the motors pull the head all the awy to the top and them the machine vibrates hard for a good 15 seconds making a loud ...

Re: Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

Alright, so i've been making progress weekly and finally got everything running. I'm installing the arduino setup right now and noticed the guide has nothing to get the raspberry pi option to run as the addon for the kit. Anywhere I could get started with this?

Re: Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

Used the sockets they worked. My hands hurt like hell though! Now i'm on to the stepper motors in the part 2 and 3 of the top assembly The drive gears are fit for three of the motors. As I put the three on, two fit snugly and well, especially after adding locktite. The third however spins freely ...

Re: Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

I have a smaller and similar one but it just gets the bearing flush and not centered. Sigh. Off to get a tool for this now.

Re: Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

Okay, so i've run into an issue with the r4 bearing covers. I simply cannot get them seated properly without doing damage to them. I'm not a small man but i'm putting all my weight on them to get them to pop into place and they aren't. They are stuck at flush with the cover, and not moving anymore ...

Or1g1nal1ty and his slow, plodding build!

So here I am much of the way through base building for my Rostock V3. I'm having an issue finding the right bits according to he guide and the 'wire the hotbed' section is super lacking. Anyone have a better visual of the parts I'm supposed to install and how? EDIT: Cancel that. Saw the video. And ...

Re: And greetings from Los Angeles!

Great to hear! I'm hoping to use it less to build mechs and gadgets and much more for jewelry and statues. If it turns out i'll definitely share some of them. :) I also over-excitedly purchased enough random materials to build things I have no business doing yet. So expect many questions :) And just ...

And greetings from Los Angeles!

So, hello everyone! I've gotten into the whole 3D printing thing over the last year as an outlet for my artsy side. My first 3d printer was a Micro3d and that went as well as you have heard it goes. But the tinkering and trying to fix it somehow got in my brain and now i love the hobby. However I've ...
