Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I will give that a try. Although seems odd that the printer has been running for over a year with out this issue till now. I'll report back.

Hey Guys, Been a while since I have been in the forums. I'm having a strange issue. Printer has been running pretty good but last month I went to print something and discovered all setting were gone. Print time and filament used was zeroed, Z height and all tower adjustments were lost, everything. I...

My printer is doing something similar. After it finishes a print it will go to the home position then it drives to the max position between the Y and X tower. I haven't looked into it and I am just homing it to re-position it. I am running Repetier-Host but have plans to move to Matter Control and w...

Bone, I have the same view of the pics.

You can also find them on Ebay. If you search for "NANO2 451 fuse" you will find the style, then just select the amp you need. Make sure you get 451 model number, they are fast acting. I believe the 452's are slow acting fuse (don't want those).

Not to worry, this site will remove all the heat from the 3D printing crowd for awhile once its on the news.

I had seen people with power supply issues while doing research before I built my machine, so I decided to swap it out during the build instead of waiting for it to fail later. I used this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RJZQSW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Its not modu...

I went with the heater cartridge from the initial build and haven't run the resistors. I've been happy with it and will continue to use them if the need arises to replace it. I also used the screw in thermistor when I built the machine.

Thanks for the setting. Seeing the part and the setting that go with it is a good idea. Maybe we could come up with a standard way to post that.

Good info, thanks. I was using the flow rate to make quick changes during the initial infill calibration, after I got it to where I wanted it I converted the number and put it into the firmware. I think I have the machine 90% but as you know the last 10% can always be difficult but I'll keep working...

What are your current settings?

Anybody have any input on infill/flow rates?

OK, here's an update. I re-ran the same procedure tonight and discovered it was massively over extruding and basically filling up the center and pushing around the excess. so I dropped the setting (M92 Ennn) to 60 from 92.650 (Default) and it cleared up once it got past the over extruded area. So wh...

Like the subject says, its a new printer that I'm calibrating. I have done the z-height and end stop adjustment no problem. I checked the Esteps and it was good also (100 mm request =100mm of filament extruded) I was doing the E steps fine tuning and that when it went bad. I was printing the Cube St...

I have been using a feeler gauge also. I use the .005" blade. Thanks for the info!

Let me make sure Iv'e got this straight in my head. Assuming you have the hot end installed, and you have the dial indicator mounted, you would run script 1 and set the nozzle to the correct height with the paper drag test by adjusting the stop screw. Once you have the height set you will zero the d...

Thanks for the link.That seems like it will take care of my concerns. I will definitely try that out!

Kris

I've seen the posts on that. Here's my questions, the dial indicator mounts I have seen have you remove the hot end and install the dial indicator in its place. How then do you know the height of your nozzle in reference to the bed? You will be able to establish a level plane but not in reference to...

Well, its together. Now to do the calibration. Any initial tips for a Noob?

Kris

How does one modify the extruder for 3mm filament? The bowen tube and fitting seems straight forward. What is in the extruder that needs changing?

Got it! I do have some graphite power lube and will use that. Thanks for the quick response! This is one of the reasons I went with this printer, great community support!

OK guys, first question. Assembly is going great so far. I just completed the U joints on the cheapskates and the metal joints are nice and free on the axle but once I install the spring clip on the axle, it loads or squeezes the joints inward and prevents them from rotating freely. Is this OK? Will...

users who want to fix what is not broken.

Now hold on, thems fighting words! It's my right to redesign things that are working properly to make them considerably less reliable!

What is this "Instruction manual" you speak of? Sounds useless....

I ended up going with the Cosair CX750 and opened it up to remove the nest of wires and replace it with heavy gauge stuff. That power supply is a single rail design also.
