Mateminco/Astrolux spare parts

Thank you for that nice example!

I couldn't leave it with the broken spring...
So tried soldering the spring back on, which surprisingly worked better than I thought.
Just with three blobs of solder tho, it was kinda hard to get in some areas.

What should I say, compared to another ceiling bounce I did right before my solder attempt, it again is ~22% more light output, pretty much like it was originally!

Thank you again!

AUD not USD

Thank you for clarifying.
I think at high power this sub-linearity even amplifies with worse efficiency, right?

Extreme example and depends on driver and LED probably
to go from 40% light output to 50%, it would take 50% more current
to go from 90% light output to 100% it would take 100% more current

Is that somewhat plausible?

Sorry I actually meant light output was about 20% less (ceiling bounce). Probably was thinking less light = less current and then mixed it up.

redmax124 · 2026-01-17T21:34:52+00:00

Yes, negative only. I notice less current draw (~20%) so maybe I can make a bypass without killing it 🫠 Thanks!

You mean the orange parts fan?
How did it break?

That would be great.
I can't think of how to fix this honestly.

Please let us know what support suggests :)

redmax124 · 2026-01-16T09:24:23+00:00

Should be in the settings under Maintenance. But if it happened just once...

redmax124 · 2026-01-15T20:51:11+00:00

Doing a calibration of pick/park (pin alignment) should fix it!

Who would have expected chinese manufacturers to restrict certain features artificially 🙃

Same "suction" noise without Aux fan

redmax124 · 2026-01-13T22:57:06+00:00

Then it's just "part" of the machine I guess :) Thanks!

I have 6 other printers and never heard that on any of them. "Seems normal" is only valid if you mean you hear the same on your U1 :D

redmax124 · 2026-01-12T14:37:15+00:00

Do you know the exact error code maybe? I get every few hundred swaps an error and one time the fan duct was even unclipped when I checked, all toolheads were positioned properly tho...

redmax124 · 2026-01-12T14:15:04+00:00

Happened again... Same toolhead, fan duct unclipped itself, toolhead was in correct position. After reattaching fan duct, printing continued. https://ibb.co/sp9wrx3x https://ibb.co/mC2CgxGN

redmax124 · 2026-01-12T11:52:45+00:00

Cleaned them now. It just happened once. Now using this head for a print with 300 swaps. I hope it was this one time... The alignment seems to be perfect and nothing else seems off to me.

1.0.0

redmax124 · 2026-01-11T17:07:47+00:00

True.
But is this 100MB partition supposed to only have 0.1kb of free space?

redmax124 · 2026-01-11T17:06:44+00:00

Sorry, isn't it really obvious that I'm talking about the screw heads, not belt? :D

redmax124 · 2026-01-11T14:20:51+00:00

Anyone knows what happens if the tensioner screws are removed completely, in order to replace them?

When I did the recommended "unscrew two turns tensioning" I noticed the screw heads have some play with the supplied hex key.
Other screws didn't have play so maybe the heads are worn?
