Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hi Everybody, I just finished using up almost all of my Seemecnc filament and really need more. I am still learning how to use my MAX and I would say I have a 60-70% success rate with most attempts. That being said I use a lot of filament trying and testing things out. Since no one seems to have tri...

I had the problem on large prints. My solution was to print from the SD card and I have not had any issues since. And yes the SD card prints of the same sliced file worked when that file would fail hooked to my MAC.

I noticed my max stuttering today and it was a result of my MAC not sending instructions to the MAX's queue. The MAC has power to spare so after some playing around I was able to duplicate the issue. When I am working on a very complex (meaning curvy) shape with honeycomb infill, I better set the re...

LOVE IT......

I don't know how many people will get the reference..... I will really miss that show!!!

Thank you so much. That was of great help to me....... Thank you again!!!

Could someone who does this mod please record a before and after and post it on YouTube? That would make it a slam dunk for those sitting on the fence.

Or just an after and one of us can try to mimic a before since all these max's are the same.

Ok so I did another albeit shorter version of the calibration tower from the first post. As you can see I no longer have any issues with perimeter adhesion or layer consistency, however I still have a major problem when it comes to crossing over the honeycomb infill. Thoughts??? Side View, Top View,...

While not perfect, it is much better. The only difference between these to was actually calibrating the extruder. The new print is much better but still has a fill issue in one of the light pods. The only issue I have with the printer is I do not know what it can do yet. So after a print unless it i...

Not bad.... Not bad at all.... photo-3.JPG I will try to reprint another shape "Rostock LED Ring" that was kicking my but at see how it goes....... BTW I am sorry all these images are coming out upside down for PC users, they look fine on the MAC butt it seems to use the orientation info f...

Ok I am redoing my 0.5mm test wall. I have the default extrusion set to 0.55mm and am getting 0.6 to 0.58 with a multiplier of 1. I will adjust it to try to get closer to 0.55, but I am using an old dial and cheap (Chinese) set of calipers so anything between 0.54 and 0.56 will have to do. I also ha...

OK I need to rephrase that, the single wall test looks good, but the wall is about 1.1mm thick. I say "about" because it varies as high as 1.2mm when I turned the feedrate multiplier up to 175% because I wanted to see if the shape would hold. I also just finished the first tower at the slo...

Yes and it turned out great..... I am printing a test now, same part with perimeters at 30mm/s (80% for external) and another at 60mm/sec and 60mm/sec external. I am trying to rule out the change over to my MAC in the event the slicer or host is not 100% for a MAC. It should not matter but after man...

Could some of you please post your perimeter extrusion settings.... 30,40,....80mm/s

This may help me realize why I am having these issues.

You may simply not be able to run this technology at fast perimeter settings since it takes too long for the hotend to get back to its spot.

photo 3.JPG This was an enlarged tower from the "Essential Calibration Kit" on Thingiverse which i cut up to inspect for quality validation. It was printed in ABS (230e/115b) with the default (slic3r not manual) settings for speed only and honeycomb infill verse rectilinear. Any ideas, I ...

I would have liked the wrap as well, but it is not included in the black kits....... Any recomendation on a 3rd party source???

Oh I will, Infact I have already contacted them and am waiting on them to ship it. I just wanted to rig it to I could play with it and get familiar with the printer. I am having peeling issues with the ABS because I cannot get the glass hot enough since it is off the bed so much, but other than that...

I think an adjustable mechanism in the middle of the bed would be a great idea for this particular issue. I love the idea of a heated aluminum/steel bed similar to what the $500k machines at my work have, however I think I would rather make an Onyx bed work on my $1000 printer than make a $500 bed f...

I hate for this to be my very first post, but check out how warped my bed is!!! I have not even hooked it up yet, I simply put a strait edge on it to check and was a little amused to see the gap..... I will contact the guys at seemecnc in the AM but wanted to share.... I wonder if the shape or manuf...
