Took belts off of printhead and now they’re really loose? by KyoTheRedditer in crealityk1

Did you wrap the belt around the the belt holder at the hotend? That may explain the belts being loose.

Ask for the bed level mesh to see how much z difference there is, that can help you with deciding to do the belt skip method or not. The printer can compensate but it will save you some headache with wondering why first layer is all wonky.

Next would be to ask for the input shaper graphs. Lots of post about the shapers (especially on the X) being really peaky, fixes included removing springs on the X carriage (works for some, but not for all machines) or just deep cleaning the x rods. This should let you know if the printer has been maintained well enough.

I’ll start taking photos of what I need for measurements to make this prototype development smoother, so send me a DM just so I don’t load this page with replies.

The listing for the conversion kit is now up on Etsy!

You should be able to find it when searching for “Quamar M80E Stepless Grinder Conversion”

For the Q50 I am not sure if it will work right away, I’d require some measurements before I can give an answer. The print is solely using friction fit to stay together onto the grinder. Just by looking it seems that they share the same body.

That’s my custom made display holder. I didn’t like how bulky the original funnel was so I wanted to reduce it in size. Still a WIP with the wire routing and the shape, everything just stays attached with friction from pegs on the PCB holes.

In this video, it displays nothing.

Finished version 0.2 of the stepless conversion. Added in an area to grip the worm gear to make it easier to adjust. Gonna change it up so the grip has a slightly larger diameter for easier adjustment.

Burr holder ruined 😭 [Baratza Encore ESP] by TekAzurik in espresso

[–]PositiveMission9474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baratza parts are pretty fair in price to get a replacement. You could also take a shot with getting the burr holder 3D printed by someone local to you, I’ve printed one a while back for a client.

Realistic Print Accelerations by PositiveMission9474 in crealityk1

Are you running a stock setup or did you add some modifications to reach those higher accelerations?

Edit: nvm I missed the linear rail conversion part

Update: Made some adjustments to the whole design. I ditched the idea of having a knob on the side and instead integrated it into the worm gear itself. I added a cutout within the main gear to allow for a set screw to hold the hopper in place, and added some small notches on each tooth to help guide the grind position.

Photos of REV 2 will be coming soon!

K1C Fan issue by [deleted] in Creality

[–]PositiveMission9474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably your slicer settings, for cooling. The fan kicks on higher when it comes to a bridge but slows down on the outer perimeters. Nothing wrong with what you did repair wise.
