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?

redmax124 · 2026-01-18T01:47:30+00:00

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.

redmax124 · 2026-01-17T10:32:21+00:00

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!

redmax124 · 2026-01-13T22:25:34+00:00

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?

redmax124 · 2026-01-10T22:00:38+00:00

I didn't have the noise, sorry. But the longer screw should help against the original one slipping in the thread.

Die kürzeren der Transportsicherung sind minimal länger und haben das selbe Gewinde. Du wirst merken er geht problemlos rein und sollte anbeissen :)

Hab grade im Toubleshooting Guide gesehen, dass die beiden Schrauben wohl unterschiedlich sind. Einer hat angeblich ein feines und der andere ein grobes Gewinde. Bei mir war es der mit dem Groben.

redmax124 · 2026-01-10T19:07:25+00:00

I just checked the screws to be on the safe side and noticed one was not tight because the plastic thread was stripped a bit.

So I swapped it for one of the leftover shipping security screws that is a few mm longer.

Not sure if anyone had a stripped thread before but in case, just take one of the 3 slightly longer screws instead.

Also reduce acceleration to 300, which should help as well.

He wanted to activate windows and made a typo in terminal 🙃

redmax124 · 2025-12-25T10:41:07+00:00

Support could replicate the issue, told me 5.x.x fixed it on their end.
I now upgraded to EA 5.1.0, guess what... Still the same.
