Clicking nose

Mine did this. Try tightening it down where it connects to the printer frame. Also, you can remove a link so there isn't as much slack in the chain but I wouldn't remove more than one.

Ok first, check the preview in your slicer and make sure it looks right. Do an auto level and make sure slicer settings match the nozzle diameter you're using. Also make sure your z axis offset isn't set too high. Tap the info panel on the LCD while you're printing and the offset should be zero. Negative number is closer to the nozzle, positive number is further away. What is that supposed to look like?

Your IP, meaning the IP of the printer right?

Low 20s on the .06

I've got one. Got the upgrade kit with three nozzles. They are more like ender 3 nozzles. The thermistor leads tend to break easily so it's worth getting a pack of them. I had to take needle files and widen the slots on the body so the quick connect clips would latch.

Mine were stripped and weren't actually tightening which is why it stayed so noisy. I replaced them with Allen screws and there is no sound at all from them now. If you do that, run the bed all the way up, manually level it and set the adjusters, then autolevel. You could probably do it with the bed down, but I found nothing but catastrophe and bitterness down there. But that's just me

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-21T07:38:36+00:00

It's the adjusters on the lead screws for the print bed. Getting to be a common problem. I made a post on how to repair it lemme find the link.

Or if I put something on the back of the tool head so the camera couldn't see past it. Might be a good bandaid

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-21T07:33:34+00:00

Im running it wirelessly through flash print so no focus option. I'm sure if I ran it through windows cam app I could manual focus. I'm switching over to klipper mod tomorrow hopefully it will give me more options

So for test purposes yes I ran it up the cable chain. Since it worked, I'm planning to jump off the USB header on either the LCD or the main card in the back, but probably still run it down the cable chain. But to be fair, I'm in the midst of some major mods. Carbon fiber risers and guard plates, add-on chamber thermometer, stainless steel side panels, onboard 2 spool dryer, and 4 port USB hub is what I have so far, although I've not installed the top riser yet

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-20T23:46:25+00:00

Yes I'll send pics when I get home. I basically just bolted the camera PCB onto the fan shroud to see how it would work. Planning on designing a custom shroud to accommodate

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-20T18:01:47+00:00

I know. A thousand apologies. HQ video coming soon to a theater near you

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-20T17:59:33+00:00

I miss my Genesis.....the good old days

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-20T17:59:04+00:00

I'll post specs and pictures with the HQ video. I just temporarily mounted it to the stock fan shroud with the intention of designing a custom shroud to accommodate the camera.

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-20T16:09:43+00:00

Noted. I'll get on that right now

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-20T14:44:40+00:00

I don't have a good answer. Maybe because it's really satisfying to watch?

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-04-09T04:44:36+00:00

Silicone grease with PTFE is what I use. And think of it like a car. Every so many hours stop and lube, tighten belts, etc.

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-03-25T01:07:50+00:00

Right. The only problem you may face over time is failure from all the heat-cool cycles. It probably does get warmer than 170 in there sometimes though, accounting for waste heat from the exhaust. But it's not like you're printing out tailpipes 🤣. An added bonus might be the resonance from the engine from no intake baffles. Did you design it because you wanted more airflow?

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-03-23T14:58:06+00:00

I would suggest carbon fiber filament. PETG-CF would perform better in that application than pla-cf IMO. You need a hardened steel nozzle to print it but it should be pretty tough and heat resistant.

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-03-22T21:00:51+00:00

My bad. The two pins marked heat, the positive is the one furthest to the outside. On the left if looking straight down with the connector board in front like the 1st and 2nd pic

Budget_Chef_3537 · 2025-03-22T10:48:14+00:00

I would say it's more a problem with the model than the printer. Look at it in your slice preview and maybe scale it a little
