This side of the print comes out looking really gnarly while the other side comes out fantastic and smooth

my first answer is always to make sure you've done the whole calibration series
https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html

once the machine has been properly calibrated and tuned, if it's still showing problems, troubleshoot from there.

#

have to realize that this ain't a magic "push button receive plastic object" box...

it's a proper little desktop CNC machine, very similar in many ways to the big CNC metal mills in machine shops

only instead of a spinny cutter thing, it has a hot glue gun.

#

so you need to start by making sure the frame is straight, make sure the heaters on the bed and hotend know how much power to apply to get up to temperature properly, make sure that it's dispensing EXACTLY as much plastic as is requested, make sure that we're actually asking for the correct amount of plastic...

these are the base tuning steps that gotta gotta gotta get done

Drivers maybe?

#

tried updating my drivers for the port, said none were needed

#

I found this mini usb cable so it is possible this is one of those cables that don’t have data lines, is there an easier way to tell?

weary moth Drivers maybe?

or do you mean drivers on the printer

weary moth Aug 4, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

No, windows drivers

noble beacon Aug 4, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

just updating windows? @weary moth

sturdy topaz Aug 4, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

no, there are serial port drivers you need for windows to properly recognize the serial port

#

you check on the printer manufacturer's support pages first
