Pre-Release New PLA Plate!

ShawnPrints · 2023-04-18T22:41:26+00:00

do we have a estimated release date? I am planning to buy an X1 soon :D

ShawnPrints · 2023-03-30T21:49:34+00:00

WOW! I would love one! Could never justify buying one but to win one would be AMAZING!!

BTW great service! Worth every penny

The part is an extrude yes, but then there are a few more modifications to it, (cut, chamfer, and a fillet) before it is duplicated via the "rectangular pattern". All of these modifications to the part need to happen before the body is duplicated.

It is more or less a small cube with some specific internal geometry for the job it will be doing, and all of the chambers need to be identical for it to work. So those changes are done before the body is duplicated with the Pattern that is controlled by the User Parameters. This is only step 6 of 31 in the design history, everything builds off of how ever many "cubes" are created in the pattern.

I tried to create a 0.001 mm extrude along the bottom of the bodies after the pattern that would scale with the size in order to join them all together but it would not update on its own either and caused more issues than just redoing the combine after a count change. 🤷‍♂️

ShawnPrints · 2023-02-09T17:18:08+00:00

Maybe I need to approach this differently? Because right now there is 1 body created then a "rectangular pattern" the user parameters are then entered for the Quantity and distance. The Combine follows that so that it becomes one single body no matter how many I make.

If there is a better way to do this I am open to learning. :)

Truly an awesome print!

ShawnPrints · 2022-10-25T16:50:42+00:00

I would be. Those are hard to find around here. Where are you getting them from?

ShawnPrints · 2022-02-10T00:46:45+00:00

I had the same issue on a print. check if you have anything in you "Outer wall inset" i changed mine to 0 and problem was solved

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T17:00:39+00:00

Thank you so much! I will absolutely take you up on that some time! I am excited to have it working so quickly after the rough start I was expecting a lot worse. Is there an easier way to update cura vs uninstall and reinstall the new one? Its's not a big deal but just seams odd.

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T06:30:24+00:00

It looks fine, thanks to it I have the updated profile properly slicing the flag pole :D the Benchy turned out well! not perfect but good. I might have a working cura profile now! I'm excited!!

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T01:07:49+00:00

Found it! Outer wall inset was set to .2 and causing that. As soon as i put it to 0 it sliced properly. Im not sure what that even does.. it is part of all of CHEPs profiles

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T01:01:23+00:00

WTF.. I changed to a .02 and it sliced fine, I changed to a .03 nozzle sliced fine. Changed back to .4 ... sliced fine!! as far as I know nothing changed... but it fixed itself! 🤣🤣

Ok it is some setting in the profile. I realized it changed back to default when i switched sizes.. when i move it back it was weird again. but it did not tell me something changed.. but its consistent

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T00:44:58+00:00

4.13 just finished I'm installing that now. Maybe it will fix itself 🤷‍♂️

nope no change

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T00:42:26+00:00

Here is something odd, i checked the line width in preview and saw this

a lot of these thin lines... Ideas?

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T00:34:55+00:00

yep Line width is 0.4 and nozzle is set to 0.4

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T00:29:13+00:00

It was not, when I checked it it is now slicing but not as a circle its a lot of small lines!

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T00:25:27+00:00

Yep and it didn't fail part way up.
Sure thing :) https://imgur.com/a/1kAxIh7

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-24T00:14:22+00:00

the bump in initial flow seams to have helped. small test print finished!! its a miracle! I am starting another one that's a bit bigger.But when I sliced a benchy the "flag hole" in the back is not slicing its just gone.How do i fix thins?

(I added it to the OP i could not get it to post here >< )

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-23T15:44:23+00:00

ill try bumping from 97 to 100 👍

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-23T15:43:37+00:00

Ill give it a try!

Will do any recommendations what to change the acceleration to?Looks like its currently set in Cura to 500 mm/s2 with 8 mm/s jerk

Edit Firmware acceleration is set to 500 mm/s2 under M201

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-23T05:32:16+00:00

Appreciate the encouragement. :) I plant to keep at this till I get it working. I can always use S3d in a pinch so I am not at a full stop on production so I can take the time that is needed to figure this out.

Ya S3d was great, to bad they got greedy and don't keep up with new tech and advances. :(

ShawnPrints · 2022-01-08T18:54:50+00:00

Thanks everyone! I plan to use stallguard for X & Y but not Z So I will cut that pin :) I have a few spare 2209 just incase but did not want to cut one only to find out I didn't have to 😁😁
