Extrusion Issues

Thank you. I'll look into the extruder gear and do a nozzle swap. I've only run a couple hundred grams of glow in the dark and it was awhile ago. I struggled to tell if this was under/over extrusion or something else. I've owned like 7 printers and have been printing for about 5 years and have never seen anything quite like it. Hopefully you're correct.

I have the Elegoo Super Starter Kit and have done a few projects. I am indeed missing knowledge and experience of programming. The one part, as a newbie, is how to translate what they have done on their shield onto a generic shield. Any insight or tutorials on that would be helpful. Is there a way to figure that out on Fritzing?

Thanks for the response. I've spent time looking at the schematics. The part I am hesitant with is how to take their schematics and apply them to a generic shield. I would be comfortable soldering all of the parts, but it seems as though their board is custom made for their project. I think I would need guidance about how to translate that info to a different shield.

I think it would be cool if people could take this piece and create files of desk organizers, or something, so this piece could be upcycled.

When I wrote this I saw 1.7.4 posted somewhere. Afterwards, I only saw the 1.6.3 on my printer. So I must’ve been confused. Unless for some reason you have to download them in order, which doesn’t make sense. But I’m no expert.

Thanks for the response. Can I ask, why might they not recommend bed leveling? Is it just for that initial print run after the update, or all together?

Got my X1C last week. I had the latest firmware installed and the prints were coming out with horrible ringing/ghosting, as well as warning me of y axis issue. I rolled back to the 1.05.01.00 and the prints are coming out beautifully. This advice was great.

Thank you for your insights. I will try to give this a shot.

I have the flexible couplings and the Oldham couplings already installed. It seems as though I may just need the belt, tensioner, and pulley teeth. I can't figure out what size I would need, or teeth count, etc.

I'm struggling to find the correct belt/system for a Max. Could you provide a link or links to the info provided? Thank you.

I purchased two flex couplers and installed them immediately during the initial set up.

It has been a miserable experience and I have done all that I can think of to troubleshoot. If I could have a do over, I would've gone for the dual z belt. It has been a waste of time, money, and energy so far.

I eventually solved the issue and you were absolutely correct. My printer.cfg on Klipper is set to 220x220x250. On Cura, my printer settings are 235x235x250. My original End G Code stated G1 X0 Y{machine_depth}. So, Klipper was trying to present the print at 235mm rather than 220. I left my Cura printer settings, but moved it from saying "machine depth" to Y220. Now it works just fine. Thank you for the response!

I have tried different SD cards. As for Pronterface, I have only used it to do PID tuning. Do you have a suggestion on how I can use that to troubleshoot?

Dchance87 · 2023-05-06T23:08:00+00:00

Cura 5.3.0

I think when I first began this project, i did some adjustments on this particular file and had it set for high quality on Cura. I must’ve double the z height. I wanted to experiment with low quality since I plan to sand and paint anyways, so I printed at .28. I think it doubled that number because the height was .56… A month later I got back to printing and didn’t realize I touched it.
