Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Increasing the bed temp helped with the print raising off the bed. I had it pegged at 105! It was only able to reach 103. But the raising stopped. Can't imaging printing like that in the long run.

Still have the splitting throughout the verticals though.

I got the new glass and leveled the bed. Still no luck. I tried a new roll of abs and pretty much the same thing. Beginning to think it might be the cold temperatures in the basement. It got down to 63 on real cold days. I live in Indianapolis.

Trying a new roll from Octave now.

Yes thanks Eagle.

I'd bump your hot end temp up a bit. Let's say 235. I don't like the delamination...usually ends up being a hot end temp thing in my experience. I'd also recommend making sure the temp you're re reading is the actual temp. I raised my hotend temp for ABS from 230 to 237. Given that Repetier Host ...

Did you check your thermistor accuracy with a thermocouple ?

My extruder temp is 2C below what it is reporting in Repetier Host. I think this is ok.

No. Delamination and edges raising on all corners.

Is there a proper way to store ABS rolls? I think I've had this roll most of the winter. The basement is cold and dry. I have a new ABS roll still in a sealed bag. The fact that it's shipped in a thick sealed bag..should I seal unused ABS if it sitting for months?

I'll borrow a meter with a temp thermistor from work. Thanks.

Printing with the fan off and an enclosure didn't help. This is how the print turned out. I'm printing ABS here btw. photo 1.JPG photo 2.JPG This is the hair spray I'm using. Should I try something else? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AI7C22/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_zl2jtb1Y4C8ZT The ABS is from SeeMeCNC ...

Your last picture shows delaminating during the print... I t could be from your filament. Have you tried different filaments ? What brand is it ? A layer fan could do that too. Do you run a layer fan ? You should not use layer fan with ABS. If you don't have layer fan, is your printer near a door ...

A piece of aluminum 1/8" between the Onyx and the glass can help to distribute the temperature. A wall you mentioned is also a good idea to minimize drafts. Some use a section of Sonotube (not sure of the spelling) but it is for concrete, can work also. Heating the Onyx with a 24v supply can get ...

Thank you that makes a lot of sense and would explain the change between my manually pushing it through and the motor pushing it though.

Why should I be using the fan on PLA? I've heard it many times but have never heard the reason. Is this my problem with the jams?

210C in the hot end.
60C on the bed.

No fan. Usually don't run the fan.

What does it mean when I can manually shove PLA through my hot end and it rushes out just fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyDwJiLbxXs But then as soon as I print, nothing comes out and the extruder is choking? Sometimes it'll print the first and second layer just fine and then the third layer ...

I've had the printer for a long time now and never knew the dial was a button as well. Never had to print with the sd card, never tried. I navigated to sd card and hit print. The LCD displayed all three of my different named prints. Thank you.

Anyone have a link how to do this. Exporting G-code from slic3r onto an sd card and inserting that card into the rostock, the LCD says SD card inserted..yea. I've looked in the Rostock documentation section and didn't find anything. I looked in the Rostock pdf manual, nothing there. A link or ...

Not sure what's going on with my Rambo board. John Oly replied again and said that it was odd that switching the #define TEMP_BED_PIN 2 to "1" didn't work. I wasn't sure what else I could do, thanks for your help Geneb and John. I have bought another rambo board, it shipped out today. Eaglezsoar ...

I got this reply in my email from John Oly with Seemecnc: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jay, Nope, not hard at all actually! Open up the repetier.ino in arduino, which opens a ...

Yes I changed the inputs and the bed temperature did not resemble the correct Celsius temp after the changes and uploads to my Rambo board. I have four total thermistor temp inputs, one is the extruder, one is the bed, and the other two are open so I tried the two open ports with no success. The ...

Ouch just checked the price of a new Rambo board. $185. Any other suggestions?

Yes thanks for the email! I've found the pins.h and the Rambo board temperature pin assignments. I believe I'll change #define TEMP_BED_PIN 2. Not sure what to change "2" to though. I've debugged a little and this is what I've found. pins.JPG Changing pin 2 to "1" made the temp stay at 76.03C ...

Ok I tried several aluminum foil sheets cut to 300mm in diameter in an attempt to even out my heat on the bed to combat raising corners on my prints. As I laid the aluminum sheets down I noticed some odd behavior with the printer. The screen of my RostockMax was not displaying anything I could read ...

Thank you very much for the suggestions. I like the aluminum sheet idea.

Have you had these same issues and applied these ideas yourself? I'm wondering if it actually is uneven heat and a drafty basement.

I'm having a problem with the corners of prints separating from the hot bed or rising up again. Used to not have this problem and I posted about it here and you guy suggested to add a skirt. I have been doing this, I have an 8 loop skirt with a height of 2 layers and a 9mm brim width and the corner ...
