Stretching issue/ non symmetry
Greetings, so basically my problem is the following. My rostock max V2 no longers print within a reasonable dimension. The offset in a particular dimension is far too great. Printing a circle results as an elliptic shape (noticeable only by measuring), square are slightly a rectangle. See picture fo...

Re: What causes this shifting?
I have this issue and the only time I get it, is moving the printer while it was moving. My rostock max v2 has about 900 hours of running and the arms wear out which results as wobbling issue. So everytime I move the printer during operation, it is certainly guarenteed to shift the layers. Therefore...

Re: Temperature on hotend is always below target
I just upgraded for a 40W heating cartridge. It works much better, temperature may be off by 5-6C. Now, I'll need to cover any heating parts that is in contact with air.
Might used clay over kapton, might be overkill though

Re: Temperature on hotend is always below target
Hey,
I was involved with other works and when I tried to check again this week. The heating resistor seems to broken. Temperature is now barely heating properly. And as gestalt mentionned, the auto tuning really blow. I end up having 10 to 1000x times bigger/smaller values in all kp, ki and kd.

Re: Temperature on hotend is always below target
I'll give a check in the next few days, the only way to get the machine print so far is to increase the temperature target and then lower the temperature back. The machine then understand that it "has" reached the target temperature when the real temperature match the one fixed at.

Re: Temperature on hotend is always below target
It's to believe it's something related to the PID value.
No matter how high Kp or low it is, it should have a peak value. In this case, there was no peak, and the signal starts oscillating already. It's like the signal chosen, is different from the signal injected in the controller.

The carriage has too much friction on the T extruded, and as a result there was 2 carriage that could move freely out of 3. So I adjusted the screw and now the 3 carriages could move freely without much friction. It is now ...

The wire should measure about 10 feets, however, I only received 4 feets 1/2. I went to some shop and bought 4-22 gauge. Since I need it asap, I went to the shop and grab some extra wires.
