Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

i shave the bed with a razor blade just prior to print and that's it, nothing on the bed, seems to work just fine with PLA

then i let the bed cool prior to removal and parts pop right off

your results will invariably vary

there's another Orion owner in ahwatukee, just so you know

now my extruder won't reach temp, it sits between 214.2 and 214.7 but won't attain 215 bed sits between 64.2 and 64.5 but won't attain 65 i've restarted RH, reset my parameters, redone every single part of the process over and over again so far today i have 5 hours invested and one sub standard part...

i've actually been able to make a usable part, amazing

was able to accomplish that by raising extruder temp to 215, bed temp 65, speed 50mm

the part wasn't pretty, it has burrs and rough edges

trying to only change one thing at a time, so i'm printing 2 parts this time around

thanks for all the help so far, much appreciated sticking has been addressed and is not my current issue my printing in general has gone from "satisfactory" to "i can't get a single part to print correctly" even when trying to print a single part the printer stops extruding right...

now i can't get it to print correctly at all, the PLA randomly decides not to stick to the plate and fouls the print switched back to USB with manual control and it's doing the same thing reminds me of parenting, but i can switch the printer off and pretend it doesn't exist which is a big plus maybe...

i just started a batch from SD card ..... will post results in about an hour

edit: well that didn't get very far

i was offered the RH update today and declined due to my deep set, inherent fear of updates

welcome Tom, it's good you're here

i've made a handful of useful parts with my Orion so far, with no issues today is the first time i'm trying to do more than one at a time, i tried to do ten of this clip designed to cap the open end of an aluminum extrusion and twice now the printer stops printing at the same point in the process i ...

holy moly!

nice print

wow, scary!

nicely done!

don't mean to revive the dead, but i use Autodesk Inventor everyday i've used most of the common programs and i prefer Inventor for manufacturing in relation to workflow it is seamless to go from Inventor files to my Orion Printer, a few seconds and I'm printing if anyone ever comes along here with ...

i don't mean to derail your party thread, lol the eagle has landed all issues resolved i did read it in the manual ... but i was pretty sure i knew better when it came to checking the box :mrgreen: printer is working very well, quite pleased with it overall! thanks for all the support mi amigos ~brian

gracias amigos, much appreciated. Eaglezsoar, I didn't unpack the machine myself so there's a moderate chance it may have had some unintended handling around the slides. I will have a look tomorrow and see if there's anything obvious there. As far as I can recall it does the exit-stage-right thing r...

i'm an industrial designer, just purchased an Orion to help with that i'm running it through it's paces for the first time, have printed parts from repable and a few of my own so far with decent results ABS was unpleasant due to smell in the office today, running PLA at home right now and it's not t...
