Pyramid - First run

Also, I am curious why you upgraded from v2 to v3? What were you looking to gain?

Thanks,

I am sure you have already tried he following, but worth mentioning Square up your towers with a square adjust your tower endstops offsets using the firmware/endstop screws customize your xyz probe points to match mhackney's recommendations to help avoid hot end "tilt" make sure you hot en...

I have ordered a thermocouple, should be here in 2 days to find out how far off "norm" my hot end is running so I can map out the real temps. I have thought about tearing apart the bed again, perhaps tomorrow night if you don't find anything first. I need to print some successful items :) ...

Well, I squared up the towers (two were 1mm off or so), adjusted the endstop screws so that the tower endstep offset was under 4 on all 3, ran the probe "hot" and it didn't appear to help much with the thin side. 1st layer CalibrationRing1stlayer.jpg 2nd layer CalibrationRing2ndlayer.jpg I...

I never would have guessed that the autocalibrate had "limits". I will test tonight.

I was waiting for my Raspberry Pi to show up and install octoprint so I didn't have to install mattercontrol on my wifes laptop to look at firmware, but I caved last night to get the Tower offsets, so I will calibrate tonight the offsets and check for repeatability. The Raspi should be here any day ...

Tower X endstop offset [steps] 164
Tower Y endstop offset [steps] 6
Tower Z endstop offset [steps] 0

I am assuming this is the endstop screw adjustment, I will work on that this evening. Not sure how it could be over 20mm off...

Any reasonably priced thermocouple you can recommend? Can you recommend a method for measuring?

As requested

Used your gcode, but it is similar results to the circles above that I sliced. I started the first ring at 220/60 and upped the temp based on watching it to my standard 220 so the layer "meshed" rather than separate strings. calibrated cold. This is a hot bed calibration, and 210/60. Calib...

After cleaning the surface, recalibrating and running the new calibration ring.

I have an IR thermo and it doesn't appear to help.... The tip external temp is totally different than the thermistor internal temp.

Roughly 2" x 7" x 4.5" I was measuring it installed... The max has some clearance below it's bracket so it is closer to 2.3" or so installed. It was tough getting a tape measure around it installed, so if it is close you will want better measurements prior to ordering.

Try youtube.

Thanks.

Thanks for the update.

Looks like this is the answer... any real world experience?

Max Hotend Temp 280c*
* High temp jet kit recommended but not required for temps above 250c

Hmmm, does this indicate 280c, or 280c only with the optional jet-kit? NEW HE280 Hotend that uses a 40w heater cartridge and all-metal design.  The hotend also features thermal runaway protection by using a thermal fuse mounting in the heat sink to monitor temps and kill all power to the heater in t...

So what is the HE280's max temp without the hot end? I assume it is somewhere around 245-247 like the Rostock Max v2?
Any word on when the Hi-Temp jet kit will be available?

As you can see I am running thin on the XZ during this temp test. I was changing the temp on the printer while it printed.

Thanks!

How is PETG? Enough higher temp tolerance?

Has anyone had PLA distort during normal use? Trying to decide if a part made with PLA will distort if left in a car over the summer and I need to find another Filament to use. PLA is working, and cheap right now...

I have reprogrammed the probe points to match yours, during the next recalibration I still had "head tilt". I also ran a 1st layer test after and am still having issues with bed leveling. I will continue to dig. The good news is any testing/builds in the center of the bed work well

What slicer on those cubes? My printer is working "fine" for most things but needs calibrated, an better and I printed one of those cubes via KISS and had the same thing. via matterslicer it looked like a cube.
