Comin in hot!

Hi!

Yes, I do have some more.
If you PM me your address I can send you one.

As a side note, I want to write down something very interesting that I felt last night. For the first time I realized that in some ways I was untethered from the HOW of designing something and was freed to concentrate on the most elegant solution, design-wise, to what I wanted to do. Generally the ...

Thanks to both of you guys for the pointers/ideas. I will keep plugging away. I'm inspired by the progress I made with ABS last night. I have never been more pleased to see a little bit of plastic! I left it out on a Post-it for my SO to see in the morning. She's such a good sport. It's very kind of ...

Ok...more than amazing. I printed out a small object I've been designing and it looks just great. Barring some shrinking, which I'm sure I need to figure out, I am completely thrilled at the level of detail I'm seeing here. From a couple feet away, it looks like something that was injection molded ...

Ok, it should be SMCNC's policy not to sell T-Glase to newbies! Hahahaha.

I got the ABS going tonight and holy moly...what a gorgeous print. The level of detail is just amazing. I slowed the printer way down to let it move carefully and basically used the stock settings.
NOW I'm having fun.

Gotcha...that makes a lot of sense. I'll start out with these settings and see what we get. I pulled the T-Glase out of there and will be swapping in the ABS next and giving it a shot. I also ordered a thermocouple-based thermometer from Amazon to do a right calibration on the hot end. Thanks again ...

Wow, this is really good stuff! Thanks Neptune. I will do a more accurate calibration before trying out the ABS. I saw that thread about that here. I don't think my meter has that...yet. I really want to get in to the ABS...why make work for myself with this T-Glase? Plus, I don't really like the ...

Pure and utter ignorance! :D I was at Maker Faire, picked up the printer, wanted to have some filament to work with, and I think it was on sale...or it was all they had left. Pretty stupid really. I picked up some ABS from Amazon recently and want to switch over to that...I just need to research the ...

Moved the printer to a more powerful computer and reprinted the fan shroud with the new slower (14mm/s) settings and 212 degree heat setting suggested by the makers of T-Glase and got some very nice results. Also ran the machine at 70% speed. As one might expect, it took much longer, but it looks ...

Today I tried cleaning out the nozzle by heating it to burn out any residue then polished the outer nozzle smooth. I looked up the website for T-glaze for some info. I found some settings that were different than the stock settings from SeeMe. They recommended a slower speed and less heat. So I ...

Hi Mac- I'm using the T-Glase and the settings from the ini I got from the downloads pages...225C for nozzle temp. I'm running at 100% right now...or whatever the INI set up. Not sure of the mm/sec. Thanks for any thoughts you might have. (Forgive the possibly dumb/simplistic answers, I'm still ...

Yesterday's prints went pretty well. I whipped up a ring to hold my NeoLights LED ring from adafruit to test. Sadly I'm getting a lot of skipping on the extruded stepper. I really need to figure this out. The print came out well, I had just made some design mistakes. That's the point of prototypes ...

Ha! Gotcha...someone else will stumble upon this someday.

Mack- If you'd like one, PM me your address and I'll throw one in an envelope. I have four extra now and I'm hoping to not burn anymore out for some time...although I just jinxed myself by saying that.

Another great tip...thanks Neptune.

A guitar...HA!

Thanks! Sadly I reflashed everything and started over. I'd love to know why so I don't do it again.

Settings today were kp 16.15 ki .95 kd 68.89 and horizontal radius 129

Today's adventure included re-squaring the towers, rerunning the PID stuff, and then doing the four macro calibration stuff over and over. Come to find out I made a rather big mistake when I was putting the towers together. I thought I could adjust them by pulling them up a bit to tilt them over ...

Thanks Neptune! Great tip....I'll have to score some more. Any idea how much longer?

Sounds (no pun intended) like they're worth it though eh? Really quiets things down.

Thanks again

Thank you for taking the time to write all of these great guidelines down.
As a new user, this is a GREAT place to start.

Today I did the final 'close' on my machine after receiving the replacement 5A fuses for the Rambo board. I blew them out because my fan wires were dangling. Yikes. If anyone is reading this and did the same thing, I bought five and hope to not need them all...I would send out two for karma points ...

I've decided to continue to use this space as a sort of notebook for my experience with my Max2. Worst case scenario, it can serve as a way for me to return to my notes.

Well, reflashing the Rambo seemed to do the trick. Now I'll need to redo the steps after that, but it could be worse.

I don't know if turning it on and off several times today scrambled something.

Any thoughts?

Hi All- Just packed the electronics and put the case extras on my printer today and sparked it up to do another test print and now I've hit something VERY weird. I wanted to do a recalibration, so I redid the 'Set 0' procedure. Well, when I send a G28 command, or hit the home command on the LCD ...
