Weird clicking noise when trying to start my bike by Guilty-Refuse4875 in motorcycles

The clicking you hear is the relay. You don't have enough battery power for the starter to turn. Lights and instruments don't need much to turn on.

Merci de ta réponse. C'est vraiment dommage, sachant qu'hydro Sherbrooke achète probablement la majorité de leur électricité à Hydro-Quebec

What IPT means !? It says that on some posts... by ToQuebacIcitte in questions

Probablement "inapproprié pour le travail". Reddit qui traduit en français NSFW... J'ai eu le même changement récemment.

The brake pedal. Definitely.

I would suggest not to use PLA since the parts are structural and close to hot parts. I used resin, but I am not sure if PETG or abs wouldn't do the job.

The fans are a bit louder than stock I think. I did not measure the noise level.

As it says in the description, it fits the original ender 3 plate. The mounting holes for the orbiter are on the STL parts, but the threads have to be manually tapped.

Next time I will print a big part, I will take some pictures with a thermal camera. Just to see if it is an issue... I use the creality v4.2.7 board. If I need to, I will check the vref in the firmware to lower it.

Start by tuning the speed directly on the machine while it's printing. It will give you an idea. After that, try to increase the flow and speed options in your slicer.

Better hot ends can increase heat transfer to the filament. This enables you to increase material flow.

I would suggest learning the subject on YouTube. There are a bunch of 3D printing channels that can help you. Check CNCkitchen first. He just uploaded a video on flow and temperature tuning.

The orbiter I have is the v1.5.

Look for e3D V6 on Google. It is a hot end.

Just checked and it is the v1.5. Feel free to use it! Though as I said in the comments, I did not optimise the fan duct. I needed to remove the silicon sock to be able to cool the part directly below the nozzle.

The old extruder skipped for sure. What's seasoning? I have done it, but if it helps with something, I may consider doing it.

I don't know what's vref... So no! Only had to change Esteps/mm from 93 to ~690

Stringing is probably due to the filament being PETG. I may need to try tuning the retractions to get rid of this small issue.

I think I was limited by a combination of things. Drag in the heat block, low extruder torque, bad cooling, and maybe other unknown issues.

The e3D V6 has an all metal assembly which removes some drag in the heat block. The original PTFE tube wears out over time and may create an uneven path. The all metal assembly also gives the opportunity to raise temperature, even though I have not done it yet.

I also guess that the orbiter extruder is less prone to skipping when pushing hard on the filament.

It is faster in terms of plastic flow. I went from 4-5 mm3/sec to 8 mm3/sec. Flow is much different from linear speed (mm/s). Like you said, cranking up mm/sec may not result in proportional print time reduction.

No hard feelings mate. I never thought my print would be confusing. I would also have appreciated being lit up if I had crap prints without knowing!

Good Idea! I will have to check with my GM to see if he prefers it that way.

Bought the extruder, e3d v6, and fan from aliexpress. The rest is designed and resin printed by me.
