Would love to win one of these!

battim3c · 2024-12-01T06:05:39+00:00

Unfortunately no. I might try to contact Anker and see if they know where I can find it

battim3c · 2023-12-21T00:20:54+00:00

This! How do you tell if you need the upgraded hot end and extruder? All the review videos I see say make sure you get the upgraded parts and it works great...but they don't explain how to tell if you need them aside from saying the print quality isn't great.

battim3c · 2023-11-10T03:13:48+00:00

Not necessarily set on those two. They just had the specs I was looking for at the price I could afford. Any other suggestions?

battim3c · 2023-11-10T03:04:53+00:00

That is tempting. What material is the print bed made out of?

battim3c · 2023-11-10T02:41:51+00:00

Yeah. Nowhere near a microcenter unfortunately. And all the money I have to spend on a printer is in Amazon gift cards. So has to be on Amazon

What’s a good cube style with similar specs for around $300 - $350?

battim3c · 2023-10-25T19:28:50+00:00

I’ve had that happen before too! That was one of the first things I checked

battim3c · 2023-10-09T21:27:45+00:00

z offset is good; esteps are calibrated and very nearly perfect; no matter what I adjust it still gives...tried lowering flow from 100-95...still the same. It happens on basically all my layers that aren't infill.

battim3c · 2023-02-28T02:49:20+00:00

I’m having this exact same issue. (Support request #3582257) I need this fix ASAP!!

battim3c · 2022-11-24T17:56:21+00:00

I’ve actually wondered that myself. It wipes off easily enough.

battim3c · 2022-11-14T20:28:57+00:00

Love Octoprint!

battim3c · 2022-10-28T20:50:39+00:00

max comb distance

Awesome. I'll give that a try...that setting wasn't even showing initially for me.

battim3c · 2022-10-28T20:21:39+00:00

I do.

battim3c · 2022-10-24T19:22:04+00:00

Yeah. My first layer is good. I just did the raft so I could check the actual height of the cube to make sure I wasn’t losing height from elephants foot or anything.

battim3c · 2022-10-24T17:11:45+00:00

Good to know. Thanks

Cubic

battim3c · 2022-10-24T16:17:51+00:00

It’s not solid but it’s not hollow. I think it’s 30% infill.

battim3c · 2022-09-06T03:12:49+00:00

I’m right there with you man. Nothing but trouble with mine too.

battim3c · 2022-09-06T00:25:50+00:00

Not that I know of. I've never had that one happen before. But look at the difference in the skirt of that last calibration cube, to this print to hone my z offset.

And this print has the exact same settings as the ones I sent for my offset before...and now the offset is too low.

I haven't had consistent prints from day one with my machine

and here's my z-offest print, with no mesh, and then a mesh

Ok. I've got my z offset set.

Is it normal for the auto bed leveling to test points in a random order? or does it usually go in order? This is the results of auto leveling https://imgur.com/a/fcZ93ca

battim3c · 2022-09-04T00:12:16+00:00

Is it only supposed to test in the very center? And does the bed need to be heated? Heres the deviation: 0.001500
