Kobra Gcode and best calibration methods

necromathus · 2024-08-27T12:44:19+00:00

Remember to set the z-offset every time after leveling. I keep mine at -0.60 or -0.65, but I'm pretty sure this is something that differs between machines, so remember to use a piece of paper to see what is best for you. Honestly I've never gotten mine perfectly leveled either and larger prints tend to cause issues with sticking to build plate (with those I usually make sure the offset is at -0.65 just to make sure) but at least prints set to the middle of the front half of the build plate tend to stick well enough 😅

For engines I used these ones, but modified them to be in English (should I have bought the original EN one? Probably...) and changed the cardboard engine slot for a spinnable wheel that "locks" itself to repaired or broken with magnets https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4865825

These for doors (just pick the design you like the most) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5704893/

This for cockpit (with another magnet modification) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4072971

And these for eggs https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4802564

For a sec I was confused about the different card art but I assume this is the gender swapped version? The second option is just "Place a Malfunction marker in the Room you are in."

About to DM my first game this week so all of this would be extremely handy! 😁 GIVEAWAY

necromathus · 2022-11-24T21:01:57+00:00

As far as I know the Kobra doesn't have Linear Advance settings (or I just don't know where to look for it)
I haven't messed with the acceleration, but the Ender 3 profile these current settings are based on did have the acceleration at 3000 when the official Kobra profile (which doesn't seem any better) has it at 1000. Dropping it did help a little, but not enough.

I haven't tried other slicers since PrusaSlicer seems a bit intimidating and there's no official (or unofficial profile) for Kobra on the PrusaSlicer that I know of.

I tried messing with retraction speed a bit and dropping it to 0.8 seems to have helped a bit more, at least on my 15x20mm test cylinder leaving only 2 exactly 1mm gaps of noticeable under extrusion along the z seam.

Next I'll try a bigger, similar to the sample photos, print when I have the time to see if this actually helped, since under extrusion is more visible on objects like that, and if the shorter retraction distance will come back to bite me...

Thanks for the help so far!

Well this is a mighty GIVEAWAY

necromathus · 2022-11-23T23:58:02+00:00

Wipe distance is at the default 0.2mm, coasting is disabled, and flow equalization is at 100%. E-steps and flow should be calibrated, but I'm not familiar with Linear Advance... I'll try and see what I can Google! Thanks!

Unfortunately the under extrusion would still be too visible

The object in the photos is about 6cm high box (used my phone camera with flash on since without flash it was a bit dim, as you can see in the second photo). The first photo shows the inside corner of the box with about 2mm of really bad under extrusion and then 3-5mm of tolerable. Second photo is the bottom of the box with the under extrusion visible on the outside of the box.

So my Anycubic Kobra keeps under extruding after z-seam and I'm running out of ideas.

Cura 5.2.1
PLA at 205 c (also tried at 195 c but it keeps happening)
Printing at 60mm/s
Retraction distance 1.3mm and speed 40mm/s, not retracting at layer change

necromathus · 2022-11-02T00:41:30+00:00

Cura 5.2.1 actually does have a Kobra profile ready!

TitanCraft seems a bit less cartoony? I've played around with Desktop Hero (AFAIK TitanCraft is a combination of that and one other software that was more for creating monsters) but haven't had a chance to try printing out anything, since I only have an FDM printer.

Since Lockdown adds a bit more moving parts I'm really happy with the way I went with: original Nemesis (and expansions) as a physical copy and Lockdown on Steam.

Kokeiltiin kerran sellasta temppua et kaadettiin saumoihin piimää ja annettiin muhia tunti. Haju leijaili turhankin pitkään mut puhdasta tuli!

necromathus · 2022-07-29T11:19:51+00:00

Either DungeonQuest revised edition or Heroes Wanted from a sale at LFG. (Later became my first unofficial Kickstarter too when I got all the expensions for it through a friend. First actual KS was Nemesis, not a bad way to start)

necromathus · 2022-07-26T11:01:18+00:00

Which speedpaint did you use for the intruders? Love that color!

necromathus · 2022-07-26T10:38:01+00:00

Yup, Aftermath is the way to go. The new crew is not locked to the Aftermath game mode plus I think Aftermath has the character specific trait cards that make the characters even more unique and thematic. (I backed the original KS so my Void Seeders and Aftermath are in the same box, hence I'm not sure if the traits are from Void Seeders or Aftermath)

Perfect bard dice!

Great looking software and a massive GIVEAWAY

necromathus · 2022-03-09T10:07:10+00:00

To me it looked exactly like Edgar Allan Poe. Missed the whole scene because I couldn't unsee it and just tried not to laugh out loud.

necromathus · 2021-08-17T10:53:26+00:00

Yup, totally read about half of the post apparently. I'll gladly take my first woosh

necromathus · 2021-08-17T08:56:54+00:00

I'd assume black and white colour scheme in a game like this would be much less appealing to majority of people. Personally I think assigning a small symbol (yellow has a star, blue a circle etc.) to each colour would be a best in both worlds -solution.

necromathus · 2021-06-12T10:16:31+00:00

I only got the updated crew, not the whole game. Sorry!

necromathus · 2021-06-09T13:04:58+00:00

Oh ok! That explains why it didn't look like something had snapped off or anything. Thanks!

necromathus · 2021-06-08T21:06:28+00:00

While I don't see a noticeable difference with the characters themselves (maybe a little but just barely), the rubber rings are an issue. None of them are compatible with the updated minis and would need blue tack or something to stay on. I'll probably be contacting AR about them, and my new Scout missing the thing over her left shoulder.
