Re: Kraken thread

I did not try much 2 color printing with my Kraken. I am actually printing with one nozzle at a time. But I have been printing a 2 colors street cone, that looked well, apart from the fact the nozzles were not exactly aligned (maybe 0.5mm off). BUT, a street cone, is only switching from one color to...

Re: Variables are not variable

One non-intuitive use of OpenSCAD (which I have not explored personally) is the ability to generate code for it algorithmically. So, write some code in Java or something which has nice loops and variables, and inside the loop write out your .scad file line-by-line. It won't be the most elegant .sca...

Re: Horizontal Banding, or Z-Ribbing investigated. [SOLVED!]

I had to do the same on my V1 after I added a fan blowing on my Rambo board to cool the stepper drivers down. The problem was however not intermittent, and did not cause any printing artifacts... just that my bed temp readings were not realistic.

Re: Variables are not variable

OpenScad is a different kind of programming language than typical and I always have to re-calibrate my brain every time I need to program in it. That being said there are ways to get variable type behavior out of it, it just isn't going to be in a way that feels natural. The best way I think to see...

Re: OpenDACT(Delta Automatic Calibration Tool) - For Repetie

EEPROM parameters in Marlin are different.
I would thus say you can't use it with Mariln firmware "as is". But if you can establish the link between repetier EEPROM params and Marlin EEPROM Params, why not using it... in manual mode.

Do you get the same result independently of the slicer you use ?

If yes, it is a printer (hardware/firmware/calibration) issue, if no, it is a slicer issue.

Re: Help setting up FSR on Maxv2 /Rambo

It has nothing to do (at least, not much) with weight (actually, mass), the FSRs measure force. The applied weight on the bed changes the force read at the FSR level. However, what the interface board does, is to trigger a signal when there is a positive difference on the force applied onto one of ...
