Not as bad as the other day, when I had clipped the filament at the extruder (to fix a tangle), and the camera couldn't see the bed. So it looked like the bowden tube had filament and looked like it was printing.

Aaand I'm done trying to print tonight. Nothing is sticking to the bed very well. Think it needs cleaning, but I don't know where anything to clean it with is, and it's 11PM anyway

or you need to "dirty" it up with glue stick or hairspray. But yeah, don't let it print unattended.

I use easy-tack respositionable adhesive 7020 from krylon on glass works like a charm printed about 5 things and not even had to replace it. I find usually its just the print head is too high for most filiment not sticking issues.
uncut ledge
y’all are weird
I use a sheet of glass with nothing else
I’ve printed kilos without cleaning a sheet or doing anything to it
weary lichen
I had glass, but that was with an extremely mis-mounted nozzle that was ~5mm above where it should have been. So I had to use three sheets (From picture frames). It also didn't fit on the bed, and the clips I needed to use for it were hitting the arm and causing problems. Nothing stuck to it untreated (And unheated, as I still haven't re-connected the bed), but hairspray worked great.
I made a better mount to hit the stock bed, so I could have an easier time leveling. I think there's just residue of stuff on the fakeTak that's preventing good adhesion, so I just need to find something to wipe it down with.
Also going to re-connect the bed, so that should help.

I’ve managed to lose the nozzle on my printer mid-print, lol

Is there some way to just print a 2d sketch out of Fusion 360? I used it to dimention up a sewing pattern since its sooooo easy to dimention a sketch. But now I can't figure out how to print it!

ah! got it. oh that's so awesome.

@crystal parcel not sure if you ever got your answer, but the A0-A4 sheet sizes are ISO standards. When creating your drawing, change "Standard" from ISO to ASME. This has the 8.5'' by 11'' sheet size (Size A).

@abstract brook There's an update to that to turn it into propane powered.
I've had my eye on literally that video for a time now.
abstract brook
It actually works pretty decent with the forced flow addition
the first time we litterally used the pump off a fish tank, the second time we used a heat gun
weary lichen
A guy I know made one and it works great.
abstract brook
Kinda tempted to see if we can adapt it for more glass specialties, and make it larger as well
weary lichen
Propane's also cleaner and easier to use than charcoal, IMO
abstract brook
true^

Oh, it should be easy to make larger. Bigger outer and inside bucket

And I’m just realizing this is Adafruit server, not my own, wait, other servers has puns?!?!?
weary lichen
We stole them to pun-ish you.
spice estuary
Oh, I seen a guy use old water heater tank for forge
Andon, I don’t need another 2 hour pun-a-thon on that topic, the cell is beyond dry by now
abstract brook
seems like this is a heated topic in this circle...
spice estuary
Nah, it done been watered down
abstract brook
Wait correct me if I'm wrong on my line of reasoning here... water heaters are meant to take water at boiling temperatures and keep it pressured... would you not be able to just use a water heater as its already insulated? or would you still need to add a larger barrier?
Im torn between puns and actually figuring this out now
spice estuary
Sorry, they didn’t use thicker insulation, just different type as more flame resistant
But essentially they did point out how the Shell was fairly good since it could handle heat & pressure
Mainly the guy cut it down & plumb gas line into it
He also kind of made cart for it, for portable work
abstract brook
I'd probably make it stationary, I've got the little one if I ever need to take it
Nice thing about farms, lots of space
spice estuary
Yea, he has even bigger, but melting is his business
They discussed as to why that size specifically, it was largest portable design they used, since people needed set amount of metal for some of castings
You can put good sized cauldron into it, but in fair warning, it can get pretty heavy, taken 2 guys to pour out theirs
So, if ya got a couple of sons! 😆
abstract brook
Well really can't be that heavy... the whole things a lighter!
spice estuary
Well, to be honest, insulation is 99% of weight
I’m talking about the cauldron taken 2 guys to pour
Metal is metal, even when melted into liquid form
abstract brook
thats true. again I'm thinking mount it sideways so I can just pull the crucible in and out
spice estuary
Yea, they kept their design rather simple since it was entirely thought up & made in like 2 hours
abstract brook
Sometimes those are the best designs
spice estuary
Oh, it is awesome design
The dude who made it is like genius engineer who lives by KISS principle
I mean if ya wanted nice aesthetics, that would be only way to improve it as far as I seen
abstract brook
Every time in the last month that I reach 1000 lines in a code file, I've usually forced the team to dump it and start from scratch and we usually can get it down to 200-300
spice estuary
Amazing how sometimes things can be simplified eh?
abstract brook
and if you have the chance to prototype too it might go better
yeah, and it usually takes a fraction of the time to make something new verse adapting the old
spice estuary
That was what got me, I seen these guys use forge they made in 2 hours over an entire weekend, and biggest problem they had was some of the insulation fell out
They casted like 100+ things with no trouble
In 2 days
abstract brook
hmm any pictures or documentation of it?
spice estuary
It’d take me a while to find the pictures online
I couldn’t find some casted pieces that was done that I got

Buy the kits and assemble that
but tbh I would suggest you just buy Creality CR10 or Tevo
my senior got Tevo and he is happy
speaking from my experience after working for 2 months with 3 printers
Yes it is easy to make but it's not easy to troubleshoot since you probably won't have knowledge about the " parts " being used

You can check RCLifeOn

pick your top 3 watch their individual review and make you call

@Devta#7946 look like a badly configure extruder .. your first layer is under extrude and the second look over extrude and over heated, at what temp did you print ?
shrewd rose
@shy kelp I'll try and level the bed thanks
@neon lion 190 it was written on the box so I used that
neon lion
@shrewd rose first time printing ?
neon lion
@shrewd rose Did you calibrate your extruder ? and you are sure everything is set right ?
shrewd rose
Its been 2 months since I joined college lab so not my main work
But I do work on it
You calibrate extruders
Ok that's news
neon lion
Off course you do LOL
shrewd rose
Uhm you mean check the temperature with Pyrogun ?
shrewd rose
like check it externally
neon lion
that too if you have a thermocoupler on a multimeter is a good pratice to hook it hop and make sure your thermister on your head give you a accurate reading
what electronic are you using?
neon lion
a good printer that give good print is a well build printer and well calibrated printer that why I dont like those kit floating all around, nothing beat homemade and assembly precision
shrewd rose
we don't have good multimeters
cheap ass multimeters
Cause nobody thinks it's a good idea to invest in better and good multimeter
@neon lion this printer is 2 years old kek
neon lion
this thing probably wont work , sometime IR gun dont read reflective area good, a thermocoupler is needed, but Temps wise your thermister if a good brand and is 3950k should be 3950k, I checked mine because it was chineses stuff without specs
shrewd rose
since I joined one by one I have replaced all of it's electronics
shrewd rose
Uhm
neon lion
probably 8 bit then

Do you mean what electronics in printer ?

seeing your print straigh line I say your XY are probably OK
follow that guide I post and calibrate your extruder

so its give the right amount of plastics

How can I check that ?
is there a guide for it in that link

@neon lion you ok ?

else you will spend your day playing with M221 S % if your extruder not well calibrated

I print mine on blue tape and its working super fine

thing is because of the bed not heating and leveling issues
we can't print anything other than pla
neon lion
your problem is extruder calibration or heat from what I can see

you could try to reduce 10C and good lord level your bed 😃
shrewd rose
hopefully there was no power cut this time
Yea put a card level the bed
hate that thing

Because of the cheap ass design I have to level each time
Oh
that's nice
they have a auto leveling sensor I'll try and install that next weekend
Hopefully will give me help
neon lion
Well I say if you have to level everytime instead of installing a sensor , spend your time fixing that bed so it stay level
everyone get a sensor for delta , I dont , I just build it very good so it keep accurate , that the key... not sensor
shrewd rose
I do wanna open that shady printer properly wire things
amd add new screws but like I saod earlier it's not my project duty
so I can't
Quick Question
How hard is it to make a delta as compared to Cartesian
neon lion
easy
shrewd rose
I hope the electronics is almost same !?
neon lion
you basicly design one side then you reproduce it 2 more time
shrewd rose
and cost wise how much ( as compared to Cartesian )
neon lion
electronic a good one cost little more since you want to be 32 bit instead of 8 since delta require more calculation
I cant say really it depend , mine cost 1500 but I made it myself , corner etc
now you can buy corner premade like at robotdigg
shrewd rose
Uhm what does that mean ? 8bit amd 32bit ?
the motherboard !!?
neon lion
yes

shrewd rose
we had 4 days of holidays and He didn't come to fix the bl00dy printer
He kept on texting me to fix it
Can't say no cause Senior
Hate that when it happens
neon lion
its not a fix thing! every time you change the platics in a printer you do a couple of small piece to find out the right setting
neon lion
My extruder is calibrate on one brand of black pla, when I change for a new platics or color , I print a couple square and look at the over/under extrude then add or remove % on the M221 command till I find the right spot then I write the M221 % on the drum so I know this plastics require X ammount of %
so my software always start a extruction factor 1
I add or remove m221 % per plastics roll
shrewd rose
we will have a talk tonight
l I'm getting super late for college
I'll update one I do those things
neon lion
Note that M221, extruder overide is for reprap firmware, I have no idea if compatible for your firmware you have to check google: reprap Gcode
shrewd rose
do you use M106S255 for setting fan speed of extrud

yes i use that command I think

I'm also getting a lot of prints peeling up off the bed, just using regular painters tape

What's the ambient room temperature like?
vocal kernel
it's not hot, but it's not cold either. sorry can't be more exact, I don't have a thermometer
weary lichen
That's about the sort of answer I expected.
"Cold" "Somewhat Cold" "Eh" "Warm" etc
Is your bed heated?
vocal kernel
yup, I have it usually at 50 degrees
weary lichen
Slow or fast print speed?
vocal kernel
print speed is at 60

Hmm. Honestly, I'm not sure.
I've heard people use gluestick even on painter's tape.

@vocal kernel how long have you had that PLA ?
also something like that only needn 15% infill , the infill is not like to cause the issue
vocal kernel
it's the unbranded stuff that came with the printer. I've had it for a few days. no idea how long it's been in the box though
small heron
PlA is a little hydrophilic , so if it was not shrinkwraped that could be the issue
do you have something else to test with
that photo looks mostly normal, so it's hard for me to tell whats up
vocal kernel
i got a spool of rigid ink on order. the main issue now is bed adhesion. I'm considering switching out the glass build plate. maybe I'll go with spring steel
small heron
try bringing the bed temp up to 70c
vocal kernel
ok, what's the best temp for pla, is 200 too high?
small heron
depends on the brand
the sun brand at the library uses 240 i think
what printer was it again? they ushaly have a table in the manual
okay @vocal kernel your print manual seems to want it at 100C for purging , but most guides want it around 185 to print
so I would brink the temps up gradualy and see if it improves
vocal kernel
Thanks, I'll give it a go tomorrow, getting late now
hidden sable
@vocal kernel for ABS, I use buildtak - it makes it stick real well and they make a special spatula to get the pieces off when it has cooled
With a heated glass plate, and the buildtak stays on there for a few months

Try printing with a brim. Helps to keep the prints from lifting
vocal kernel
I use a brim of 5 lines, I'll increase it to 10 and see if that helps
small heron
are you hveing more luck today?
vocal kernel
I'm At Work, so won't know until later
small heron
okay
small heron
So I am thinking that I want to snap fit these 2 pieces I am working on, but I am not sure how to shape it right, ushaly I would superglue it , but I hate superglue
the rectangular thing is going to attach to the bottom of the disk
vast salmon
XRobots have video of giant face now so huge
vocal kernel
So, new pla plus painter tape plus glue stick adhered well. First layer looks like pants though
small heron
i think you are extruding way to much
vocal kernel
over extruding? how do i change that?
small heron
not sure, I know very little about your printer
i will try and look into it for you
wile I am at it, can you try cleaning out your extruder ?
vocal kernel
the nozzle or the whole thing?
small heron
whole thing
oopsie
@vocal kernel what temp did you have the extruder set at for that raft ?
vocal kernel
there wasn't a raft on that last print, only a brim
small heron
still the temp?
vocal kernel
I'm trying another print now with a raft and it seems to be printing well
i double checked the rigid ink instructions and it seems to prefer lower temps on the bed so i've dropped it to 45
small heron
thats way to low for PLA
vocal kernel
that's what the instructions said, it's only a fairly small print so if it fails, no biggy. It does look ok at the moment
small heron
I'll look at your manual again, but PlA need's about 180C
small heron
I asked nozzle
vocal kernel
it's at 200
small heron
okay that's probably\ fine
something is up with that brim, it's very much over extruded, looks like it happed cold
vocal kernel
i think i may have had the temps set wrong, i used the built in preheat pla function with that print and it only heats the nozzle to 185.
won't be doing that again.
small heron
I am so used to cura profiles
vocal kernel
i've not figured profiles out yet
on a side note, i need to make a better spool holder
vocal kernel
yup
small heron
that sooo simplifies stuff
vocal kernel
the version that comes with the printer
small heron
let me see if the cr10 list them like luzbot does
vocal kernel
15.04.3
small heron
this may take time to hunt because they do not, bet you can make your own base off the luzbot profile
just note that the ngen one sucks
vocal kernel
cool, I'll take a look
small heron
yeah, I tried google to find info and it's only getting what to set it to and not fill profies
vocal kernel
Much better

Hey @coarse thistle! By default, Cura doesn't show all of the possible settings you can use. You have to go to Settings -> Configure Setting Visibility and select "Top/Bottom Pattern". Then it should appear in the sidebar for you to change. You probably have it set to Concentric instead of Lines.

sonic plinth
Hello all my name is Noah Schreiber. 3 years ago I purchased a 3D printer kit. It was DOA. On top of that it wouldn't have worked anyways do to poor design. For more information about it here is a link to a video of it printing on my youtube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyff2O-t3sc&t=2s
I am faced with a problem now. The current extruder isn't working anymore without the original design in the video. I am forced to use the original e3d v6 hotend cooling system that won't let me print with pla. I have a new extruder my friend is printing out for me but I would like to get a few prints in the mean time.
The printer can't print PLA because it won't be able to cool the prints but can print abs if the prints could adhere. The prints aren't adhering to the build plate no matter what I do. I am using painters tape, PEI, and more and it just isn't adhering. I don't know what is going wrong. Can someone help me with this? Thanks!!!
weary lichen
@sonic plinth ABS is absurdly picky as far as room temperature goes. From what I've heard, an enclosure for a printer when attempting to do ABS helps incredibly

@sonic plinth I got nearly the same machine. A geeetech i3 pro B about a year ago. The design was kinda OK but i changed alot oft things in order to print properly.
It has a mk8 direct drive extruder instead of a bowden extruder and i have no problem printing PLA without cooling as long as there are no steep angles .
For adhesion i use hairspray directly on the glass plate wich works quite good for me but i didnt try ABS yet. Also proper leveling and hotend temperatures are important for adhesion.

I have a figure I want to print that has a tail sticking out behind it (it's a catfolk Pathfinder mini). Using standard support structure doesn't provide enough support. How would I go about adding a more solid support that I can later remove? I only have the STL file.

trim sail
@cobalt quarry I use Cura 3.2.0. Easy to change Support... but first you have to select the appropriate menu items, before they'll show up. Go to Preferences (top left), select Configure Cura (only option), then select Settings (from the left hand menu). Scroll down until you get to the Support section, then pick and choose what you want to show up in the slicer menu. Cura has so many options, most of them are turned off, by default. if you select all of the support sub-options, I can't imagine just how much PLA you'll go through until you find the right combo. Enjoy!
OBTW, Cura imports the STL file & generates the GCODE...

Without seeing the model, It sounds like the plane slice tool in meshmixer might work for you. There are alot of examples on YT using it to cut a large piece into smaller parts to fit in the build volume. This is just one example. The plane can be moved / rotated to cut off just the part you want to get rid of. Save the .stl out of meshmixer, and open it in your slicer to generate your gcode like normal.

@stuck inlet Exactly what I was looking for, thx
weary lichen
So, I THINK I may have thought of a way to make a 3D print solderable.
It's... A little intense.
First, print with as high temp conductive material. If you're making a PCB, the non-conductive material should be pretty high too
I have seen ABS conductive filament. PETG would probably make a good backer material.
Then you electroplate it with copper.
THEN you find a solder with a low melting point - Below your conductive filament.
So you'd need a solder with a melting point of somewhere around 200, but not much higher, if your conductive filament is ABS.
PETG is... 240ish? So you can probably do a little higher if you find a conductive version
Not sure how well this would actually work. Just thoughts from the airport.

@glass cairn what infill percentage are you using? maybe it it set too low for the resolution of your printer. 10-15% is usually the normal low end, especially if you are trying to conserve filament or trying to cut time on print.
glass cairn
Hi @small beacon . These are set to 20% cubic, even when set to a higher percentage though, it still prints the infill structure the same way.
small beacon
@glass cairn Quick search on the topic seems to indicate you might need to go in your slicer to tweak the printing speed of the infill to match the printing speed of the rest. Hopefully you'll get a better answer from the experts. Good luck.

Thanks @small beacon
Wow!! I think you hit the nail right on the head. My print speed was @ 50, while my infill speed was double that at 100. Wow, huge difference, no wonders why it's been giving me so many problems.
