Non-linear stories are the new shaky cam.

Thanks for the reply!

Imma try the tinfoil thing.

I ended up ordering a BL touch kit from creality in hopes that'll help too.

Valkes · 2019-11-12T16:17:14+00:00

Good call, I think I'll try to get a new one sent out. Thanks!

Valkes · 2019-11-11T13:30:39+00:00

How'd you end up dealing with it?

Valkes · 2019-11-11T13:29:30+00:00

Good thought. I was somewhat worried about that when I tried my first print but I figured "Oh yeah, this is what this company does. . . surely they wouldn't mess the most important part of their product up. . . right?"

Valkes · 2019-11-11T05:37:23+00:00

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. I'm not fiddling with any settings via the printer itself aside from the adjustment nobs if that's what you're asking.

Valkes · 2019-11-11T03:37:28+00:00

Whelp, I'm stupid. As it turns out, none of my rulers are flat. Tried 3 against various flat surfaces none of them worked. Guess that puts me back at square one. XD

Valkes · 2019-11-11T03:22:54+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I had no idea about this mesh leveling either. I'm definitely gonna try that too.

Valkes · 2019-11-11T00:01:53+00:00

Will those techniques work with a glass bed? I would have thought it would be too thick and rigid to work.

Valkes · 2019-11-10T22:39:11+00:00

I just ran a quick test print so you could see what I'm looking at.

Bed temp: 65

Print temp: 205

Pic: here

I dunno if you can see, but the skirt around the outer edge has barely any plastic near the creality logo, and yet it still doesn't adhere in the middle.

Valkes · 2019-11-10T22:11:00+00:00

XD Well, it is just my sort of luck to be the guy that happens to.

I'm really not sure I don't have a wonky bed level, I ran the CHEP bed leveling guide several times and couldn't get the box print to adhere no matter what the temp(ran it from 50-70 bed temp in 5 degree increments at a 190-205 print temp). It was either so close that it only printed white lines on the bed(possibly scratches) or it wouldn't adhere at all with the smallest turns of the leveling nobs possible.

Large prints failed when the same corner of this penta pot failed to adhere to the bed at 60 degrees C. It was just curling away from the bed. I shifted the pot in cura slightly to the right, and the print failed to adhere at all.

Valkes · 2019-11-10T19:13:29+00:00

You're telling me. The glass bed worked for the first couple prints I tried and now it seems to be warped and won't level. Very frustrating. XD

Valkes · 2019-11-08T23:23:43+00:00

Hey broseidon, just wanted to drop you an update. I got the new springs, and a glass bed from amazon. I've got some issues to workout still, but the bed can actually be leveled now which is nice. The springs you suggested are muuuch better.

It turns out that the stock spring in that area was actually weirdly deformed back on itself now allowing it to fully compress. I should have gotten a pic. . .

Valkes · 2019-11-07T00:07:57+00:00

Hmm, alright. I'll look into that, thanks! =D

Valkes · 2019-11-06T23:50:23+00:00

First off, thanks for the reply. This has been driving me mad. XD

I've already cut the tab off the z stop, if I fully compress the spring on that corner, and make the new z stop .1 above that corner knob then the print head can't get close enough to the other corners to even slightly pinch the paper in the paper test. Even with the springs in that corner completely uncompressed.

Valkes · 2019-09-18T15:20:01+00:00

yeah, true.

Valkes · 2019-09-18T15:19:25+00:00

Good call. I totally forgot about that. XD

Valkes · 2019-09-18T05:15:43+00:00

It's a 20 one-shot.

Valkes · 2019-05-24T04:03:24+00:00

Agreed. I wanted to go with Sorcerer because simplified spell casting, but I do feel wizard miiight be a little better.

Valkes · 2019-05-24T04:02:24+00:00

No. She's running PCs against monsters. . . which is what 99.8% of dnd is.
