Re: MatterControl scaling down prints

The stl files don't appear to contain units. You must specify the units in the slicer to match your stl file. I finally just switch my cad file to mm to match all of the slicers. I grabbed the following off the matter control website: Fritz, it sounds like your object was designed in inches, but Mat...

Re: Octoprint

So...would the ideal solution be a 3amp 12 to 5v buck convertor and delivering that 5v via two pins on a micro USB to the Raspberry Pi?

Correct, the other 3 are in position to support the sides of the board, but this one is 3mm off on one axis.

Re: Octoprint

Note: the problem did occur on wall 2.4 amp supply and seemed to go away. Tonight I will switch back to wall power and see if the issue resolves itself. There are known webcams that overdraw the pi and need a powered hub. I did see a 5v USB inline injector that would work with the buck convertor nic...

Re: Octoprint

The webcam works fine if I plug it in after I boot. So I am still guessing that power is the issue, but was looking around for a powered hub to prove it. The buck converter does sound like a better way to go.

Re: Octoprint

I am having boot problems when the camera is installed. Looking at /var/messages I don't think it is booting at all and therefore is likely a power draw issues on boot. Considering moving towards a 12v power usb hub.

Note: Camera is a Microsoft Q2F-00013 USB 2.0 LifeCam Webcam

Chipped Boro?

Well, not sure how, but I now have a chipped boro glass plate. This last print had the plate at 85c,and the part did stick pretty well. It isn't in the exact center, so I don't think it was related to probing.

Just a note for the thread, it appears that the connector needed for the fan mod is Molex part #39533-2002. I will be ordering a 5 pack from Amazon tonight if I don't hear screaming that I am all wet :)

Re: Setting Hot End temp

I was reading another post that talked about that a bit, but sounded like you gained that "touch" by experience. This link may help establish a good temp by the results rather than feel. http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=7361

Re: Trouble upgrading rostock max V2 to V3

Geneb can you clarify the design? The assumption I was going with is that there would be voltage across the heating cartridge as it has resistance and to be heating it had to have current.

Thanks,

Well, it looks like the current SeeMeCNC Raspberry Pi kit includes standoff for holding the corners of the board (like the Rambo) but the holes are lined up with the holes in the Raspi board. The options appears to be drill holes, or find standoffs that work. Looking at the standoffs supplied, the m...

If you are getting 0v across the bed when connected to the SSR/24 volt power supply, no power is getting to the bed, the amps will be 0.

Doesn't look like they are the same. I think they switched from a 6.8 ohm Heating resister to a Heating cartridge looking at their web page and combined with reading the post I linked earlier. https://www.seemecnc.com/collections/parts-accessories/products/6-8-ohm-heating-resistor vs. https://www.se...
