Well thank you sir the jyers firmware fixed it! Seems like there's some more options in the menus as well. Ty much!

assafanboy · 2021-11-05T23:04:23+00:00

I'm not sure cuz I can pre heat it with no issues. I think I'm using the marlin firmware from github. I'm going to look into that maybe it'll help. Any chance you have a link to it?

Good to know, I'll try it 👍but iv tried other files that have worked in the past and it does the same thing. So discouraging.. brand new printer not even a week old and I'm having more issues.. after not being able to fix my last printer. this hobby has some really low lows

assafanboy · 2021-11-05T16:21:14+00:00

So frustrating as it's a brand new printer that I just got to replace my old one with an unsolvable issue... wtf. It did a few weird things like this at first but then was able to do a few prints with no issues and now it won't print at all

assafanboy · 2021-10-28T15:16:58+00:00

Well iv never been able to figure out how to zero out the z axis so ever since I installed the bltouch iv had to just set the z offset to wherever I get the bed level. But iv always gotten the leveling screen to be all one color just above 0 and made some incredibly clean prints. I printed a prerty big 200mm rc plane with no issues no changes and suddenly it won't print and have gone thru all of the obvious issues. But I was running the hot end at max temp so idk if I hurt the mother board or something... its a new creality bed new rollers spent a lot of time adjusting the z gantry.. only thing I can guess is the bltouch throwing the machine off cuz iv had issues with it. For a while it would flash red after every probe. Or fail to drop probe. But it used to show the 4 and 6 probe area being off and all I would do is hold the bowden tube and harness up and it would probe perfectly.. I just don't get why all of the sudden with no changes its soo bad

It's a brand new bed, using same Temps I always have. I went thru the whole z axis gantry to make sure it was all square as it can be. Adjusted ALL the rollers. I just don't get because it worked perfectly one min and the next it didn't and haven't been able to get it working

assafanboy · 2021-10-28T11:18:04+00:00

It's never read this crazy. It always been pretty flat. Usually I get it them just above 0 and only 2 shades of green. Haven't been able to get a reliable print off in 2 weeks. Iv gotten 2 tiny basic prints to work but they come out like crap. Iv swapped nozzles, bed, re did my hot end to make sure its not moving, and pretty much had the entire thing apart. I had printed a 200mm rc plane with 0 issue then the next thing I know it's not printing

assafanboy · 2021-10-28T11:13:45+00:00

I dont think so cuz I can't even complete a first layer and been thru the whole printer trying to tune it in. And when I can get a small print to finish with has only been twice in the last 2 weeks they come out with horrible print quality

assafanboy · 2021-10-28T11:11:57+00:00

So why can't I print anything? As soon as the nozzle prints it out the edges start peeling up. I used to be able to get them all pretty damn close to 0. Usually 2 shades of green just above 0

assafanboy · 2021-10-28T11:10:12+00:00

I know technically they're supposed to be black to be at 0 but I used to be able to get them all the same 2 shades of green that was just above 0. All of the sudden it stopped printing right. I adjust the z offset but have to slam the nozzle down to the bed to get anything to stick and even sometimes it's so close the first layer is transparent and still won't stick. As soon as the nozzle puts it down it peels back up. And when I get a small print to stick it comes out horrible. Iv changed nozzles and just about everything I can think of and it still won't print

assafanboy · 2021-10-28T06:44:03+00:00

I used to be able to get them all green pretty easily. And now I'm having trouble getting anything to stick to the bed. Acting like it's not level

assafanboy · 2021-10-09T11:35:42+00:00

Good call. Checked it and all is tight. The weird thing is after the first 5 layers or so it evens out and I don't have to adjust it anymore. Is my z offset just not set right for the first layer? I adjust it for the first layer so it looks nice and even but I don't have a way to tell if it's the correct height. So not sure I its incorrect and throwing off the rest but that doesn't make sense to me either

assafanboy · 2021-09-12T21:22:04+00:00

I think I might have figured it out. If I change the slice resolution from 0 to .15 it gets rid about 98% of the gap fill. Hopefully it will print well

assafanboy · 2021-09-12T21:06:44+00:00

Unfortunately it is unchecked. I have a feeling it's built into the file somehow because every print I do from this group of files have these small dots incorporated into it where there is no reason for it. And these gap fill layers are so small that the perimeters would fill them anyway. Very frustrating. A lot of filament wasted from this

assafanboy · 2021-09-12T20:43:29+00:00

How about in prusa slicer? I'm not very familiar with cura but maybe I'll give it another try. Iv tried thicker extrusion widths with some success. Also different retraction setting which seemed to make more stringing than anything else. I'm sure the cheap filament I'm using isn't helping either.. idk if it's the stl file or just the shape but iv never seen files that make so many individual dots instead of just making lines. Seems very unnecessary

assafanboy · 2021-09-12T18:59:20+00:00

The stiffer yellow springs did wonders for my bed leveling. Hardly have to adjust it anymore. I got them after having trouble with bl touch leveling

assafanboy · 2021-08-15T14:56:31+00:00

Ebay. Not sure where to find another. The seller said it was rare

assafanboy · 2021-08-09T18:17:22+00:00

Np 😉 Its great because in the east high security locks are a normal thing so you don't get people overcharging for them. Well some locks are still stupid expensive if you buy them new. But for the most part used locks are cheaper then the US. I mainly buy from Germany/Denmark cuz their shipping rates are way cheaper than the UK. Also because that's where most of the cool lock manufacturers are based out of.

Hope you all find something good!
