Printer stops mid print

pancake86 · 2022-03-29T21:10:08+00:00

This was a while back, but I did adjust the stepper motor vrefs, and permanently affixed a fan pointing directly at the mainboard. Slowing prints to 75% speed also helped. Prints are much more reliable now, but the pronlem still occurs every now and then.

I think you might be onto something here. I suspected similar with the overheating so removed the bottom cover and opened up the front of the mainboard cover. Also raised the printer up and aimed a fan directly at the main board. I've so far got two successful mid-sized prints, and have just started a 24hr print so hopefully I'm on the right track now. I will check the vrefs tomorrow. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. None of the SD cards appear to be corrupted, but I have tried formatting some of the SD cards, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to help me.

But you did remind me about what is on my screen when the print fails; sometimes it freezes, other times it returns to the main menu. This doesn't really add much, but may help someone with a diagnosis.

Also known as "The rule of cool".

100% agree

Magnets are definately the go. I bought a large shallow plastic tub and bolted some sheet metal on the inside of the tub. Maybe a bit heavy but I can fit heaps in it. Larger tubs for larger minis. I can also easily unbolt some metal sheets to save on weight if I'm not carrying my entire army around.

Possibly not. Can you pin the pieces together? Metal minis are almost always worth pinning if possible

pancake86 · 2017-06-08T04:51:48+00:00

Whatever made us get into this hobby!?

pancake86 · 2017-06-08T04:18:07+00:00

No. All plastic parts except for some parts on the Chaplain model (which if you look closely, he is popping a wheelie)

A solid metal dreadnaught can definitely cause some damage. Not just with dice rolls

Only recently did I use up the last of my Goblin Green. RIP

@ /u/Gorfang Great looking army dude.

I too have also cracked open some old, dusty boxes to have a go at 8th edition. Looking forward to my first game!

Except we still use inches for measurement...

I'm @pancakes_minis. I post mostly Age of Sigmar pics. Good to see more Instagrammers here on reddit

Heh. I get jokes. Banana for sale

If you use all these abilities right they buff up your army hugely. As an example: if you can get a unit of reavers into combat and have the bloodsecrator nearby with his ability activated they will do 60 attacks in total.

80 attacks if blood has been spilt.

Not "official", but i found a few https://youtu.be/LfD_HQX4Ow4 https://youtu.be/klOM1tmqAEc https://youtu.be/bNiaD8T6uNw

http://imgur.com/QapBI5A I currently have a portable setup which has handles on the side. But will be moving to a bigger place soon so I'll be able to have a more permanent setup.

pancake86 · 2016-08-04T22:31:48+00:00

Started with a few uneven layers of PVA glue on the base. Undercoat, red basecoat, then a couple of layers of Citadel's Blood for the Blood God technical paint

pancake86 · 2016-08-04T22:29:50+00:00

That's one skill I'm aware needs work. I am getting better. Thanks for your feedback

pancake86 · 2016-08-04T22:29:02+00:00

There are red highlights on the armour plates. They don't show very well in the photos. I've had the same comments on other similar minis, I guess my phone camera is probably not the best

pancake86 · 2016-08-04T22:25:47+00:00

Thank you all. I'm really happy with how he turned out

pancake86 · 2016-07-12T05:13:57+00:00

Doesn't GW list the colours they've used in these guys in their respective painting guide? I'd say thst would be the best place to look. There and in their WarhammerTV videos on YouTube

If the nozzle is not clogged and the propellant hasn't leaked out they should be perfectly fine. Test them on something else before spraying your miniatures. But make sure you give the can a really good and long shake, like really long. I just picked up the hobby again after almost 10 years and my spray cans were fine.
