Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

what the heck? What kind of oil? Does it smoke ? haha

Thanks Rob! Anything would help, screen shots anything. Just a starting point.

McSlappy, Its the V5.

Has anyone figured out good settings in slicer for black PLA?? I cannot get through a job without my printer jamming. I'm using a fan with the E3d hot end. Prints most other colors fine. I've tried temp ranges from 205 - 215 C ... I'm fantasizing about someone taking screen shots of slicer with all ...

It worked! I'll never know if it was the LCD or the layer height thought... Might do a dry run to night with just the LCD disconnected.

I chnged my layer height to .21 from .2, and unplugged my LCD (Read this MIGHT have something to do with it...)

I'll let you know in the AM (Fingers crossed)

Its happening for the .9 version as well for the record... Haven't tried the .91 version in afraid its probably full of bugs, hopefully they'll release a rev 2

I'm attempting to print a water bottle, the print stops around the same location roughly layer 298 of 1007. The extruder stops, everything just stops. No jam is occurring it's really strange. Below is the code generated on the layer which is failing... I don't know much about G code, maybe you see ...

They shipped mine next day as well. Cant wait!


Gimbal,
What temp are you printing at? Also are you using a fan? Mine keeps on getting like halfway through the first layer of the cal. cube and then jamming up big time.

alrighty then its on its way!

Can someone pleaaase post Repetier settings for printing PLA with the E3D?

It feels like an eternity since I've actually printed anything successful

Bummer : (

I'm looking at the E3D hotend now, since hotends.com doesn't have any of the J-heads in stock. What will I need to mount the E3D? I have the kit for the J-head, do you think it'll work wiht the E3D?

Now your scaring me, I ordered it from Makergeeks.com ...

Okay i need some serious help! I have installed the J head, and delta arms fully. I can't get any filament out of the nozzle. It comes out in little beads, and then the printer head jams up. I have the original peek fan blowing on the barrel of the j head. I'm heading the head up to 198 C printing ...

None of my friends are cool enough to have a printer :( I just ordered the mount from tricklazer. I'm excited to get printing again, since the melt down I've purchased the J-head, Threaded thermistor, and carbon fiber arms. What I want to do next is figure out a way to get away from using belts. I ...

Okay so I have a J head hotend now... The problem is that it doesn't have any fancy connector for my tube which routes the printing material, any suggestions?

Thats awesome! I want one

I'm having trouble printing a quality calibration cube. The bridge portion keeps on sagging and looking like spaghetti... Set-up: Printing with PLA Fan blowing on printer (Made a huge difference) ; layer_height = 0.2 ; perimeters = 2 ; top_solid_layers = 3 ; bottom_solid_layers = 3 ; fill_density ...

It sure was a tragic sight. Thank you guys for the input, the E3D looks badass... Only problem is there's a 4 week lead time! No bueno. I ordered a J-Head, i'll probably order the E3D next.

Also, that screw in Thermistor looks excellent! Ordering one right now.

weeelll damn.. My themistor came loose and I melted my f-ing hot end.

opinions on upgrades? J-Head, E3D ?

Also, just ordered my assembled TrickLazer arms... Hope that wasn't irrational. lol

Alright gentlemen, so I disassembled my delta arms and belts / checked for smoothness on all connections (including the cheepskates on the rails). I also changed my top fill to 100%. I'm glade I did both, the cheepskates were not moving very smoothly. The following are photos of the cube I printed ...

Yup thats my first cube!

I've been reading the link you sent me, but i can't figure out how to get my printer to only do a single layer?

I'm using slicer, I tried putting a 0 in the Infill but it didn't just print a single layer for my perimeter...

All done!

Didn't turn out too great but I'm still super excited! Any suggestions will help!

Didn't fill in too good...

I figured it out... I'm a dummy, my resistor leads were connected to themselves. lol 1 too many beers that night.

Working on my first calibration cube now!

Okay i figured it out... My steppers were shorted out, I messed up the plug install .

New Problem, hot end wont heat up. Its getting power, i don't understand...

Alright i have it all powered up, when i try to do G28 the machine just studders! My platform is sort of difficult to move by hand I think this may be the issue... Anyone experienced anything similar?
