Re: abrupt temperature failure at same postion?!

Thank you for your answer geneb, I know what you have in mind. But I don't think that is the reason here. The calibration box prints out perfect. And there are some more layers to reach... I am so under time pressure that I threw out the H280 and installed the old hotend back in. With the old whip.....

Thank you so much for your points. To a simple-user like me the product itself sounded really good. But from what you told it doesn't sound like a product I want to spend my money on. :shock: You convinced me to look for something else. I need to get more into the matter :D And again I have to say: ...

Re: Some bad layers...

Thank you for your advice Joe. I tightened the belts. I got to admit the correct belt tension is a big mystery to me :lol:
Nozzle and the rest seems to be tight. I will now try to print some callibration boxes.

Great to have you guys here.

What kind of SD-card is best for the printer?

Thank you so much for helping!

Re: Model to complex to slice?!

yes, but I don't get to that point.
Mattercontrol takes forever to slice that thing. I tried KISS and the gcode file starts to print and in the middle of the first layer I a get a sd-failure message! :-(
