New Artemis setup issues
Sent this to the company but figured I would also ask here: 1. the allen-head screws that the extruders hang from, are those supposed to be tight? couple of them seem to "slip" when i try to tighten them in toward the bracket centers 2. is there any way to "continue" a command on the screen? I'm try...

Re: Printing clear PETG
Replying to a super old thread, but I have found that clear prints look significantly more "clear" with concentric infill =0)

FS: RMax V4, DC Area
Well, I just bit the bullet and bought an Artemis, but I am also moving almost all the way across the country in a couple months so it'd probably be much easier to only have one giant printer in that case eh? Selling my V4, less than 2 years old IIRC. I'm the original owner and it has been my workho...

Re: Field Service Bulletin Ground Wire October 2020
Any chance you could just send out kits? buying just one connector or a few inches of wire is pretty difficult sometimes... And how much is a VOM going to run?

Re: Rostock v4 Error code M141
I've started getting this too in the past week, repeatedly. The only change on my end is that I upgraded Cura from 4.1 to 4.2.1 so maybe it's a default in there.

Re: Ghosting on vertical surfaces
If the v4 is like the 3.2, you only need to loosen the motor screws a tiny bit and lift up the motor a tiny bit before tightening the screws. I would have mentioned this earlier, but I thought you'd built the v4 from a kit. My apologies. g. oh, no way I would trust myself to build a complex machine...

Re: Ghosting on vertical surfaces
Mechanically, the 3.2 and the 4 are going to be pretty close - the 4 will be stiffer due to the all-metal construction. You might want to try tightening up your belts a little bit and see how that goes. How fast are you printing? Is the bowden tube & wiring harness in a position to "drag" the effec...

Re: Ghosting on vertical surfaces
So it's apparently from the effector head "bouncing" just a little from the in and out quick motion of doing the embossed areas, but accel and jerk are the only things I've read that can impact it (by making the approach to a direction change slower). And then maybe belt tension, which I don't know ...

Re: Ghosting on vertical surfaces
sorry for the delay!
these are at two different settings - i think the one with the closer-spaced ringing is the initial, and then the farther-spaced one was after slowing the accel and jerk down.

Ghosting on vertical surfaces
OK people I'm having an issue with ghosting on walls - like when I make a box with text embossed in the sidewalls, the text is ghosted very clearly. I've reduced jerk all the way down to 5mm/s and accel is down also (in Cura) because I thought that was the cause - it changed the distance of the ghos...

Re: WiFi dropout - how to reconnect?
I think that it's .4mm for a .4mm nozzle. So the size of the nozzle will define the layer height. But I've never tried to go larger than .4mm, so I'm not sure. Ohhh not the MAX height, but the "magic number" meaning the layer heights at which the steppers do a full step so that you don't get goofy ...

Re: WiFi dropout - how to reconnect?
Yeah, deadlines suck. But with the SD card you can print without the WiFi. If you are going to be doing this as a business, you need backup printers. I have four of them. And a healthy collection of spare parts, and a voltmeter. If it doesn't hurt the quality of your finished product, re-slice your...

Re: WiFi dropout - how to reconnect?
The VIN undervoltage event is worth looking into. Since it's brand new, see if you can swap out the power supply with a new one. Oof, wouldn't have any idea how to do that but I assume it's all screws and connectors; I'd love to change that fan out anyhow if I've got it open like i did with the exh...

Which main and WiFi firmwares are you running? 2.02 main and 1.23 WiFi are recommended. Main firmware 2.02 retries automatically if the WiFi connection is lost.

Re: [Partially Solved] Quiet down the fan in the base?
FAN UPDATE 2: Doh, didn't realize until well into a print that there is another fan in there, I suppose the Power Supply fan itself, that also sounds like a hairdryer once it's going. I'll bet that one is much harder to get to. Dang.

Re: Large objects.
I have not tried this myself, but, what about combining supports (I think the experimental Tree Support type in Cura has been received fairly well) with a *raft*? the raft would basically give your tiny edge a bigger footprint. But, I think you'd have to go zero gap between the raft and supports to ...

OK maybe I'll start this forum off with what i just did for my V4 last night, mentioned in a troubleshooting thread.

FAN UPDATE: Noctua A6x25 FLX recommended by Andy at SeeMeCNC. Arrived yesterday. It has a 3 wire pigtail, but I used the connector adaptor for a 4-pin header (which only uses red and black, leaving the other 2 pins unconnected) - I cut off that connector and stripped the wires back a bit, and just s...
