Re: Favorite Cartesian Printer? 2017
Like everything else it depends what you want to do and what you want to spend. If being able to use open source slicers isn't important, the UP Mini is a really good printer for the price, and just about hits your 6x6x6 requirement, haven't tried mine with Nylon, but the V2 allows you to set the ex...

Re: Rostock v1 Extruder constantly jamming
Given you've tried different extruders, different hotends and different plastic, and still have the issue, I'd be inclined to say it's print settings. The first thing I'd check is that the temperature is as reported using a thermocouple set the temperature to 210 on the E3D and verify it's actually ...

He has the steppers for two of the towers swapped, along with the end switches or it wouldn't home properly.
He probably transposed the X/Y/Z labels when wiring.

Re: File Conversion, DS Mechanical to Fusion 360?
From the DS developers standpoint not supporting STEP and IGES export is a good way to lock people in, I assume their intent is to have people invested enough that when they decide to upgrade they are more likely to select their own expensive product rather than someone elses.

Re: Thermistor resistance and "def"
If the resistance is correct, the Rambo should show a reasonable temperature about 20C for 100KOhms. You are I assume measuring the resistance with the thermistor disconnected from the board? If you plug the hotend thermistor into the Bed connection does it read reasonably? they are identical parts....

On a HE280 you should probably be closer to 2mm than 6mm retraction. You don't say what sort of filament PLA? PET? ABS? Some filament is worse than others, sometimes even the same filament from order to order. I've never had a roll of PET I could completely eliminate stringing on even with an E3D V6...

Re: Can someone tell me how to correct this print
Those sorts of gaps can also be the result of minor backlash, give the platform a wiggle and see how solid it feels when the steppers are engaged, if doesn't feel solid, you'll have to track down why, belts are a good place to start. It can also be printing the first layer too fast if the adhesion i...

Re: Yet another Duet-to-HE280 accelerometer probe adapter
I recalibrate mine if I remove the buildplate or the hotend, or change the firmware, which might be once every couple of months or so.
But even then the only real adjustment I end up making is Z Height.

Re: Low current Stepper controller
Just an FYI in case you intend to the the gear reduced stepper motors for precision work.
IME geared steppers tend to have enough backlash to swamp the reduced step size, the ones I tested were 50:1.

Re: bad temperature readings on Rostock max v3
It's very unlikely you have 2 bad thermistors. It's likely that there is a short in the wiring somewhere, I know I had a bed thermistor read very high at room temperature, when one of it's legs was touching an exposed metal piece on the beds heating element. You can do the same thing if the thermist...

Re: New E3D V6 Thermistor troubles
I assume you disconnected it from the board to test it, you can't get a valid reading with it plugged in.
If it really is reading that high, there is either something wrong with the thermistor or the wiring. I'd start by measuring at the last connector and then measure each of the plugs.

Infill not reaching the wall is usually a function of backlash/slop in the system.
