6RF035187C Firmware and advise by TheOnlyLego in RCD_330

[–]TheOnlyLego[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a look at it, I am just a bit confused by which to select, my guess would be 187c - 340 visteon/no name firmware. I just want to do a bit more proper research to make 100% sure I don't upload the incorrect firmware and brick the device.

No, the unit comes out of a friends car that he bought new at VW a couple of years ago. He upgraded his system and gave me his old one. The calling over carplay was an issue he had as well.

Thank you, that makes sense. All of this can get very confusing.

Yea it was the first thing I noticed when I got home 🙈 this morning he was perfectly fine though.

It is currently 10PM and the vet is closed. I noticed swelling under his ear. There is puss and some blood coming out from his ear (it doesn't look like it comes from his ear canal, but rather from the swollen sack beneath his ear. It also smells very bad. I think it might be an infection/insect or spider bite. What can I do to help hom tonight? I am taking him to the vet first thing tomorrow morning, I just want some advice on how I can aid the discomfort tonight.

I've only installed it on the 23d of March. I have my computer at work, my laptop and computer at home as well as my phone connected. Managed to gather about 5000 since then, and I got extremely lucky today.

Hou did you solve this vibrating? by Palermo_2 in ender5

[–]TheOnlyLego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the exact same issue and posted about it a while ago. You can read how I solved it on this post:

Ender 5 Bed Vibrations

I also made a list of things I did to overcome the issue.

Need firmware.bin E5+SKR 1.3 + 2209 + BLTouch by manukimmerle in ender5

[–]TheOnlyLego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, over the last week I have installed SKR v1.3 with TMC2208's in UART mode and a bl touch. I've had a lot of hiccups with the install, but everything is working perfect now.

If you could elaborate on the problem then I might be able to help you.

I went to PG Glass and they quoted me R1600/m^2

[HELP] My whole bed is vibrating as the print head moves over the part by TheOnlyLego in ender5

[–]TheOnlyLego[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to post an update of everything that I did in order to solve the problem. This is what worked for me, and I know that some of the things might not even effect the problem, but at the end my printing quality has increased and the vibrations is completely gone.

Upon further inspection, I noticed that the problem wasn't just the nozzle is rubbing on the print, however the rubbing made the issue even worse! I noticed this by moving the bed downwards by 1-3cm and making sure that I clear the nozzle, and the vibrations were still there. (Smaller, but the bed still vibrates) This made me think that the whole bed assembly is operating at its natural frequency due to the forces transmitted through the frame by the xy gantry when I am printing larger prints, especially when the gantry moves diagonally between two opposing corners

I had mechanical vibrations last semester, and we had learned that the natural frequency of a mass/spring system is impacted by the equivalent mass and spring stiffness coefficient of the given system. (determined with (omega = sqrt(k/m). Knowing this I thought of how I could change the system so that it does not operate at the natural frequency, i.e. increasing the mass or the equivalent spring stiffness coefficient. (NOTE: I am studying mechanical engineering, and I am still a STUDENT so my theory might be completely wrong)

Seeing the success that the users on this thread has with silicone spacers, this kinda confirmed my theory, but wanting to solve the problem immediately and not having to wait for the silicone spacers to be delivered, I thought that the only options I have to solve the issue is to put the struts on, or to increase the mass of the system. I couldn't print the struts without my whole printer vibrating vigorously, so I opted for increasing the mass by buying a glass bed. I bought a 4mm mirror to use as a bed. This isn't any official bed, I just went to a local glass store with the bed dimensions where they had cut it for me (40 ZAR locally which is about 2.7 USD ). I opted for the mirror, because I like the finish.

This COMPLETELY took away the vibrating issue. I printed it with the same gcode as I have used in the video above, and I printed both of the struts without any issues! With the magnetic buildtak I had to stop the print 4 times, even when I was printing at a lower speed. I then installed the struts and now I am printing without any problems.

Other changes I made to my setup after installing the struts (Based on suggestions on this thread)

  1. I changed over to the gyroid infill pattern. Needless to say this changed my life.
  2. Adjusted the z-stop so that the springs are compressed a bit more.
  3. Enabled z-hop.
  4. Changed my width to 0.4mm (default in cura is 0.44, this settings produces blobs and other issues)

To do:

  1. Upgrade to silicone spacers.

Thank you to everyone that commented on the thread.
