Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Here are all my prints thus far. The last being with the side towers/rectangles not in the prior picture. I used green this time since I could see where he red and green would mix/overlap. I am going to reprint in blue/red again.

This time I added to "wipe towers" to clear the Diamond of filament before printing the dragon or heart.

Here is the first image and it looks good thus far!!!

I've been working on multicolor printing with two STL files merged and two extruders. On the left is my first attempt, middle second attempt and right my third and most recent. While getting better there is some challenges with the diamond and making sure you print the infill first with enough perim...

Was wondering what other people would think about the following to help facilitate with mixing of colors using the Diamond Print head or cyclops. Would it be practical to have subtle extrusion and retraction (1-3 mm) in a pulsing fashion that would alternate between any of the three extruders (or tw...

As well, a thread I have posted to using the Diamond and multicolor printing (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=10179).

While my attempts are not perfect for mixing of color, it is a start and I am still learning!!!

3D-Print, do you still have an issue with tool changes when using absolute extruder coordinates? If so, check your tool change files tpre0.g, tfree0.g, tpost0.g etc. If they have any G1 E commands in them to retract or extrude filament, make sure they have the M83 command before that. You don't nee...

Here is my build thread and a link to where I added the Diamond FYI (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php ... 150#p89219)

As others have said, the Rostock is an awesome printer and I love the ability to modify it to fit you needs/wants.........

I have used the Diamond for the past months and have really liked the prints. Agree it is nice in that there is no dragging or catching of a second nozzle on the print. I really like the ability to change color extrusion on the fly (I use the duel board and deux4 expansion board). Two major complain...

I have been looking for a checkbox or something which will allow me to slice in MatterSlicer using relative (M83) vs absolute extrusion. As well, I am also looking for a way to slice such that I can use firmware retraction vs. retractions set up in MatterSlicer? Thanks, FYI per ryan.lutz at MatterH...

What I was not impressed with was the time it took to change out the Dimaond head. Now if I only jam 1-2 times a year OK. But if this is a common recurrence then a simpler solution would be wished/needed/wanted!!

I have only used Duet beyond the stock RoStock board. I have not used SmoothieBoard. The Duet has been easy to use and intuitive. I love the LCD and web interface which are easy and intuitive as well. By switching to the Duet I have learned a tremendous amount about the set up, the config.g and othe...

I had been having a number of failed prints where the BindTech extruders had stripped the filament. When a print would start it would be OK for the first layer. Then I could see it was under-extruding. I adjusted and was able to print a couple of prints with +/- quality. Then I noticed with higher p...

With the diamond head there is a significant amount of stinging. I wonder if this is due to the large mass of a heat in the print head. Regardless....... This stringing is virtually resolved with the firmware command "M207 S6.0 F2400" This command retracts all three extruders of the diamon...

THX!! :lol: calibration and printer works great besides some minor issues right now. i would like to speed up the calibration a bit and reduce the probing distance, but i cant find the parameter for this in the bed.g or sys.g :oops: (using fsr) and mhackney is completely right about s6/s7 calibrati...

I printed out mhackney's bracket and mounted it on to above my chamber (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=7303&start=125#p88535" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) Here is a link to the .stl file (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=9446&...

And yes they included the gummy bears

The sour bears are the best!!!!

That would make sense. I do have a message out to JJPowelly regarding his method for mixing.

Here is a slightly better image of the top of the BandAid print.

Maybe different ABS (i.e. HatchBox and SeeMe CNC) filament with different composition is part of the problem. However I have read and others have noted tha lack of complete mixing.

Here I attempted to print with various ratios of Blue, Green and Red. Sliced using Slic3r and relative extrusion. Printed HatchBox ABS at 228 (first 2/3rds) and 245 (top layers). Red is actually SeeMeCNC ABS. What you can see us that there is incomplete mixing of the three colors. In fact when the p...

Here are all my files that I have used to print with the diamond. All of these files go into the "sys" folder or just use the web interface to upload the files which is super easy. Note the M207 g-code designed by David Crocker to mitigate the diamond head ooze. (M207 S5.0 F2400; 5mm retra...

It seamed reasonable to start a new topic in this regard. As I learn how to do this it would be great to have a common source of how we all multi-extruder print. I have been printing the BandAid in multi-color using the Diamond Print head and three Nema-17 geared (5.2:1) BondTech extruders. The imag...

Still having a bit of trouble getting my extruders steppers with Nema 17 motors, to not go crazy when setting to M83 relative extrusion. When I start a print with absolute (MS default) it is OK, but with a tool change, the steppers do no like absolute and scream and the print pauses for 30 seconds ...
