Re: Orion HE280 upgrade poor print quality

I finally figured it out. My hobbed drive roller on my EZR struder was not aligned correctly on the motor pin. Makes sense being the filament was not flowing smoothly through the struder and causing my wacky prints. Thanks for all of your assistance, Gene, much appreciated!!

Re: Orion HE280 upgrade poor print quality

Getting closer on dialing this in. First few layers are pretty good but then it all starts to fall apart as it moves up in the print. Any setting recommendations for something like this? This is just a cylinder test print.

Re: Orion HE280 upgrade poor print quality

Semi-successful print, printed the bottom half of the print really well and then started to fail as it got to the upper area of the print.

Re: Orion HE280 upgrade poor print quality

I figured it out. The whip came with i2c wires with the black wire connected to the second spot in the 4 pin connecter and the red wire connected to the third spot in the 4 pin connecter. I placed the black wire to the far right slot and the red wire right next to it and it's running the full ...

Re: Orion HE280 upgrade poor print quality

Thanks, geneb. When upgrading the firmware, I am unsure how to determine these two values below for my machine in the Configuration.h file. How do I tell which Orion I have, earlier version or later version? Locate the line "#define MOTHERBOARD". This tells the firmware what kind of hardware you ...

Re: Orion HE280 upgrade poor print quality

Yes, I upgraded from the OG hot end. I did upgrade to the latest firmware as well. I purchased the HE280 assembled but noticed during trouble shooting that the heating block is loose. Any tips on how to tighten that heating block up without crushing the tube that goes down the middle of the hot end?

Orion HE280 upgrade poor print quality

I recently updated my Orion to an HE280 hot end, molded carriages, new arms and an EZR struder. The installation went well and I think I got it all installed correctly but my print quality is not real great. I have tried to slow down the print speed and other steps in the slicer but still no luck ...
