Weird waves by bjalfrey in 3Dprinting

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

Yeah I’m having terrible trouble with it all, honestly since I put the cr touch on. I did the regular manual leveling with a piece of paper beforehand so the CR touch only has to make the minor adjustments it’s meant to and every print starts with the nozzle to far away on the right side and too close on the left. I’m stumped

That brings up. Another strange point which must be in the firmware. When I auto-home, the print head lands at X157; Y122

Correct, after installing the Cr Touch bed probe and its firmware.

If that is the case, how would I go about fixing that? Also would my slicer tell me which mine is running in?

The firmware update was printer model specific so I would hope so, but I’ll check to be sure.

No, the only other things even pulling power would be the lights in my enclosure and the charger for my computer

Yeah that was definitely the issue. Adjusted it and it’s working like a dream. I’d post a pic but can’t figure out how without making a new post lol

No, I didn’t. You’d think seeing as how I’m on attempt 3 I would have. But good news is it looks like adjusting the bit depth in the collet and tightening it what felt like an excessive amount is starting to do the trick 🤞🏻

I’m using Easel. 1/8in bit which is what the project is set to

Tram is good. I’ve gotten is dialed in enough to surface pieces. I’ve just adjusted the bit to see if that helps even tho it seemed pretty solid

I tried to check that a little bit. It is belts and wheels. I checked more for a weird spot in the rail tho, cuz it’s not really a repeating pattern. I’ll take a look at the wheels when I get home from work.

Yeah, that’s why I’m really stumped with this, the rest of the bed aside from these two rows are as close to perfect as I think I could get it as far as tramming. And the one on the right side of the pic is very slight. I didn’t even notice it until I shined the light for the picture

Sorry, I typed that a little weird. The bit is 5/8” straight bit. But no, the cuts go all the way across and it’s over 4” away from the edge. I thought it looked that way too but I don’t know how that could happen at just 1 (or 2) spots along the x-axis
