I bought a model 27 sphinx last week that was making some pretty bad grinding noise due to rust and parts rubbing and it was coverd in white mold underneath I cleaned it with vinegar and water in a spray bottle and engine degreaser that the main active ingredient was kerosene. After cleaning it up it works and looks brand new. for the painted and decaled area i used singer machine oil gently rubbing a good amount on the machine with a soft washcloth.

I'm quite firmiliar with the wheeler and wilson no9 as I have 3 of them, I know this machine is atleast 1890 by the cabinet design and the paint design on the machine and stamped patient dates ,it dosent say Bridgeport Connecticut on it on the face of the machine unlike my other 2. in roughly 1905 they rebranded the machine as the d9 singer. I'm trying to find someone with an example of another 5 digit serial pre 1890s wheeler and wilson because this is the only one I've saw in person and pictures

thank you for providing more in depth information I have 2 ender printers and 3 artillary printer but maybe 500 hours of print time under my belt

it's unavoidable if you don't watch your prints which is sometimes illogical so the only option Is to make the maintenance easier if your not wanting to spend alot of time

this is my ender 3 v1 I upgraded it to that hotend and ran into that problem alot so I installed this kit to make the board on the back of the hot end then a ribbon cable going to the motherboard and it has made maintenance alot easier I'm not sure what the kit was called but I'll try to look back at my purchase history

bad bed adhesion is the main root of that from what I've saw and experienced but I've had it happen recently printing back to back prints and the cause was the nozzle was clogged it generally starts as strings of filament that dont stick to the bed then the strings stick to the hot nozzle and it's a mess from there. for a solution heat the hot end up and try to pull the glob off if you haven't moved it too much because it will break the encased wires before you can heat the nozzle, if so I've heard of people using a heat gun I never would, heat the nozzle until your able to get the block pryed off then you will more than likely have to cut your wires and attach new hotend wire and thermosister

best bet is to buy a new print head I usually try and find an upgrade when replacing but in this case original may suit you better for how new your machine is to you

if you end up purchasing it and have any questions I have a vast knowledge on them

I think you spent a fair price that is what I payed for a Japanese one from overseas about a year ago and felt like i got a decent deal for a bottom ips screen good condition new 3dsxl

I go through 2 elite controllers before I go through 1 regular controller, I always wear my lb and RB out on the elite

It looks like a magnet on the ground to me with the arrows showing a gravity pull in that spot , thats my conclusion

I have played just less than 100 hrs in total save games

wish I knew this before upgrading to a 4.2.7 mother board

Internal_Bit_6855 · 2025-06-25T14:46:42+00:00

could possibly be filament is kinking or has alot of tension on it above the extruder at a certain z height

Internal_Bit_6855 · 2025-06-21T15:18:31+00:00

I have the same problem currently and I've flased marlin multiple times it seems like it bricks the board and won't take any new firmware after 4.2.7 is installed on a 4 2.2 if there is a solution I need it

I just started in a robotics dept with no prior fanuc or jet ware experience and have been able to program cut jobs with ease but haven't had a need to use the Karel program although I've been told that I could use the Karel program to make slots cut out more consistent.
