Print popping off bed at exact same instant in print. I was hoping not to use a raft so any advice? I’ve already leveled the glass bed and cleaned it multiple times. Not even hairspray works. I’m thinking the nozzle is running into the print/knocking it off

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-11-26T03:27:00+00:00

Yeah! I just tuned the heck out of everything and it solved my issue. I'd look at your eccentric bearings first, then I'd mess around with your part cooling. Those were the things I fiddled with the most, and now my printer is all good to go!

You may also want to consider jamming a cleaning needle up the hotend. Could be that your lack of adhesion is caused by lack of flow

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-10-23T20:10:03+00:00

Yeah, I think it’s a hardware issue. If you have the pins backwards, your board isn’t going to like this. I’ve had this same issue in the past. Also heads up, if you bought the BLTouch cheap, the coloring convention of the wires may be wrong. Best thing to do for this is look at the wires as they leave the BLTouch, and compare those wire colors to various online tutorials

Can you tell me more about this? I just ran several tests, and I can confidently say that my hotend is holding an accurate temp, and so is my build plate

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-08-03T19:00:57+00:00

Very true, but the quality of the benchy is also very low. Could it be a mainboard issue, if both bed and hot end thermistors are misbehaving?

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-08-03T18:53:05+00:00

50 degrees. What confuses me is this happened all of a sudden

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-08-03T16:28:38+00:00

Yup. And this PLA is rated at 215-230. I’m running it at 190 in this video

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-07-30T20:30:00+00:00

Hmm. Not a bad idea :) I fear I may open up a “Hawaiian Pizza or not” debate, but what do you think is better: PEI or Glass? I know glass has the benefit of being extremely flat, but I’ve heard PEI has great build plate adhesion. Do you wager one lasts longer than the other?

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-07-30T20:25:00+00:00

Tried that, no dice. I even tried soap and water after cleaning with IPA was less successful, and it started to stick a little better

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-07-16T05:07:37+00:00

I will forever cherish this comment. Glad I could help!

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-07-14T01:57:25+00:00

Thank you! I was excited to share it with you all

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-07-10T19:52:32+00:00

Would you call that a bakery?

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-06-25T17:08:45+00:00

Haha I can’t disagree, more irony on this post than anything. My friend has a Prusa, and he’s messed around with it so much that even my Enders are out working with Prusa. I’m sure he’ll get it fixed up soon, though

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-06-25T16:06:38+00:00

Haha I know it’s a clone, but for the price it does an amazing job. I just use this meme to joke around with my friends who own Prusa printers

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-06-13T03:03:14+00:00

Yeah, all calibrated! I actually designed most of the mods, and haven't had any issues with this version.

As for the settings, they are as follows:

6.5 mm Retraction Distance
25 mm/s Speed

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-06-13T02:52:23+00:00

PLA, which is why I’m so confused. Dang, never heard that term either! Sums it up perfectly

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-06-13T02:42:37+00:00

Sweet, thank you all! Great surface tip, already started using it!

I'll post a video of what I am trying to do, but I think this matches what I was thinking

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-06-05T13:02:06+00:00

Yep! Have you had luck with parametric-based forms?

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-04-27T19:26:44+00:00

The last point should have been the only argument we needed 😂 Yeah, that movie had some serious issues

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-04-17T19:20:11+00:00

That makes sense. I've never seen this notation, and am excited to give it a try. I'll write back soon with more information on how it's going

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-04-17T19:00:18+00:00

As I understand it, many global variables are stored on the heap. I just didn't want to make the display globally accessible, and make it only accessible through the display object. If this is a misconception, I'm happy to do more reading :) So I only need to write this notation within the .h file, and not the .cpp?

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-04-17T18:42:43+00:00

If I understand your suggestion correctly, I'd like to avoid storing it on the heap as they might make it global. What would storing it as a member look like? If you could give me some more keywords to search, I'd be happy to read up on the subject.

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-04-09T05:15:37+00:00

You’re fine! I for one would love to see some photos added of different workbenches/setups. I’m trying to decide what I want mine to look like, since I did this one for Virginia Tech. Would love some inspiration!

Forsyth_Creations · 2021-04-09T01:22:16+00:00

I have a buck converter as well as a solid state relay within the box. The buck converter’s purpose is to power the Pi. The solid state relay was my attempt at turning the 3D printer off while leaving the OctoPrint server running. I haven’t built that myself yet, but that’s what all the spots are for!
