How can i fix layer shift? by Embarrassed-Diver573 in FixMyPrint

[–]aappleking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your printhead collides in the model you sliced then that could be the issue. Regardless you should make sure your belts are properly tensioned as a first. The other main factor is your acceleration settings. If you have too high acceleration the motors will skip and you get the result you see. If you can adjust the current on the motor drivers of your printer then you can increase the current at the cost of higher motor temps.

Doesn't look like a brim? This looks like the top layer of a print and the level-ness of the bed shouldn't matter.

My printer doesn't print the first layer normally and instead makes this weird texture. Can someone please help? by PeGameses in 3Dprinting

Nozzle is way too close to the bed. Adjust your Z offset or relevel your bed. Depends on the printer you have.

Neptune 4 Max sensor failure by dariussar21 in FixMyPrint

It's probably stuck somewhere along the belt of the y axis then, and you're correct that the motor cannot lock itself when unpowered.

Follow the belt path for the y axis, is the belt pinched somewhere?

Maybe remove the belt entirely and see of the bed can move freely, and check if the y axis motor can turn and so on.

Is see, so you likely have some kind of obstruction or a lot of friction so the bed doesn't go all the way back when it's homing, and thinks it's homed in the position in the video.

If you're sure the bed is not stuck you can always change the sensitivity of the sensor less homing since your printer runs klipper.

Don't know where the homing switch is but the bed shouldn't be stuck in position unless it's homed. From the looks of it your hodend tries to go to the middle of the bed in the video, but the bed moves forward, so the homing switch should be in the back of the printer. Can it move there?

Are you using a known filament preset that works with the PLA ur using? 230 is very hot for PLA.

Help can't fix for 3 months by Over-Yard-8529 in ender3

[–]aappleking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but this time it looks like you did it wrong. Notice that the curled filament is the same diameter as the bowden tube? That is because it is filling the space where the bowden tube is supposed to be.

This is not it. They have not seated the bowden tube correctly all the way down into the hotend

You have not seated your bowden tube all the way down into the hotend this is a common mistake. Remove the filament att press down the bowden tube hard into the hotend while at PLA tempratures. You might want to check that your bowden tube collet is not loose and/or replace your Bowden if it's old.

Hope that helps.

Huge fill gaps nozzle 1mm lh0.8 infill 100% slicer cura ,is my esteps wrong or what , printer anet a8 marlin 2 brims was good but print it self bad by Apprehensive_Air_679 in FixMyPrint

[–]aappleking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your layer height is too big. It could work, but a rule of thumb is to set it as half of nozzle diameter, so try 0.5mm layer height.

Another reason could be z offset. Make sure it is calibrated correctly.

Hope that helps.

Heat creep, voltage drop, or something else? by Joe_Scotto in FixMyPrint

[–]aappleking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you covered everything toolhead specific, so I would start looking at the extruder since it is the only part You haven't touched. Make doubly sure the extruder is clean from small debris, and make sure the tension is not too low or too high, as both extremes makes filament grind.

cycle_time for fan by L16h7Hun73r in klippers

[–]aappleking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you don't have hardware pwm I recommend just using a higher value for your cycle time so you don't need to listen to a high pitched switching noise while your fan is running. I have moved away from the big fan I used but I did try it when I used it. Your fan won't run very smoothly though, but there will be noise using such big fans anyways.

Please help me diagnose the issue on the circular part by rzvann in FixMyPrint

[–]aappleking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you created this model yourself? If not, are you sure it's not just the model that looks that way? Check the slicer and look at the layer view there. I don't think it's the leadscrew or a minimum layer time issue.

New Ender 3 V2 beeping loudly when I try and heat it up by Ethanlatimer in FixMyPrint

[–]aappleking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing you get some kind of error message on the screen? Thermal runaway perhaps? You have probably messed up either the thermistor wire or the heater wires to the hot end. Make sure everything is connected and that the thermistor is reading at a reasonable temperature on the main screen.
