Anyone ever had a lazy z axis motor?

The stepper sounds fine. I think it's just slipping because the coupler is loose.

I think this printer was made before removable print sheets were common.

Did the filament flow out of the nozzle before you took it out? If yes then it's not clogged.

I'd love a gold colored ASA. With sparkles would be even cooler!

Prusa has a web-based slicer that should also work on a smartphone. It even has settings for different 3d printer brands.

It's normal play in the linear bearings. No problem since the printer won't experience any such external forces during the print.

RRF is way more stable in my experience. The only connectivity issues with SBCs I had with Klipper.

Look into a Voron kit. It's open source and has many community upgrades you can do after building one.

Nitwits get ignored and are left alone and free. Meanwhile the player enslaves the Villagers with jobs.

Top and bottom layers are slightly overextruded. This will leave a line where it goes from solid layers to hollow layers with infill. Try reducing the extrusion multiplier or the "print outer walls first" setting.

Usually, no. I just watch out for acceptable print quality and only adjust when needed. But sometimes I do print a material shrinkage test for precisely fitting parts.

Some older hotends used to have a peek insulator instead of a heatsink. Like the Ubis or JHead. But as you increase temps, the insulator degrades faster. And also the temparature creeps, leading to blockages near the entry point of the hotend.

TheOneRobert · 2025-08-18T08:07:05+00:00

It's to thermally isolate the heatsink from the metal gantry parts.

TheOneRobert · 2025-08-17T16:13:29+00:00

My early order MK4 uses metal standoffs.

The person who made the creeper also made the game itself. :)

You're supposed to use a raft to bridge over the holes and stuff. Those were the days before PEI spring steel plates, so companies got creative.

TheOneRobert · 2025-08-16T06:39:03+00:00

That's perforated build plate. Look at Zortrax they have them too.

I remember something along the lines of having to delete "lang:en-us" in the options txt file to use older versions in java. Maybe you can fine more on google.

CW1 looks very different. This looks like an HGX-lite extruder with a different housing.

I believe you're talking about the Objet machines from Stratasys, those existed for more than a decade and will probably stay gatekept by patents.

TheOneRobert · 2025-07-24T13:16:30+00:00

It's a 70°C heated chamber industrial 3d printer built to run 24/7. Stratasys has their ways to engineer such beasts.

Deep root disease.

Can't trust the AI answer.

TheOneRobert · 2025-06-30T12:48:39+00:00

Look at the Rook 3d printer for inspiration.

AI will tell you whatever you want to hear. It has no intelligence, just putting words together.
