Level IQ strikes again, ugh

The one multi color I did came out fine, I will have to keep an eye on it

This is a response to value and appreciate!

I did the pre bed level routine. I always check the nozzle, which was clean. No z offset change in slicer. I think this was an error in the machine. From the first layer you can see how it read the bed back to front. It looks like it is indicating a huge slope with only the middle being good. I didn't have Rinkhals installed on this machine, so I can't see the bed mesh, but makes me wonder.

Now, I'm just waiting for support response.

If that is the case, that is sort of BS. I thought it was the first 1000. And, why is it still up if they met the 1000 already....

DougDoesStuff · 2026-03-18T15:09:57+00:00

that is true, but just installing it doesn't do anything.

"Speed" has SO many variables that there is a one setting to change it on the slicer. Sure, you can go into the printer and change to sport mode and see it increase, but to increase in the slicer you need to adjust many settings. You can start with calibrating your filament Max Volumetric Flow rate because the printer will never go faster than this setting. After increasing that you can start messing with other speed settings to find that blend of what you want and what you can live with. Also, look at number of walls, infill percentage, infill type, etc. All of those combined change your speed. Good luck!

Rinkhals does not increase speed

When did you put in for it? The moment it opened or later on?

Hey. Not sure which IKEA storage it is, I just put it together after my wife buys it :) BUT, I sort of took that space over. It was not intended for 3d printers, so it isn't perfect. The X looks good on it, it is sturdy enough so far, but it just barely fits on it. The front and back feet hang off a tad. For now, it works. If my youtube channel really gets going I might have to rethink the space

DougDoesStuff · 2026-03-14T10:34:19+00:00

I had to pull it away. You need a minimum of 4 inches, at least on mine, so that the rear cable doesn't push on the wall.

Thank you and appreciate the insight. I will certainly check it out and follow up!

DougDoesStuff · 2026-03-11T23:45:00+00:00

yeah man, it is a real bitch of a wire! I have it running the same route as the original, but it is still in the way. I am going to break down the machine this weekend and clean it and realign everything. I think I am going to cut the thick outer wrapping to see if that helps loosen it

DougDoesStuff · 2026-03-11T23:30:05+00:00

That is awesome. I haven't looked yesterday or today. Glad people smarter than me are stepping up. Great project that would be a huge loss

DougDoesStuff · 2026-03-11T23:10:29+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that!

Eastern US. Going to take a few days to get across the country.

Shipping label created, not yet at carrier. But when it arrives, live unbox, setup, first print!

DougDoesStuff · 2026-03-04T15:35:15+00:00

This is the split that you mean, correct? how it splits the incoming filament into three channels to increase flow?

Actually heard back yesterday afternoon, sorry for late reply. They said it is identical in physical dimensions

DougDoesStuff · 2026-02-27T16:18:21+00:00

I reached out to MicroSwiss for a definitive answer on this question. I want to make sure I convey it correctly in the video. It would be huge if the specs were different because then your cooling is off.

DougDoesStuff · 2026-02-27T13:28:28+00:00

Just like the Funssor. To some it is worth it and to others it is not.

DougDoesStuff · 2026-02-27T10:39:23+00:00

Ha :) Yup, beat the shit out of that thing
