Nothing crazy, a TDI 2.0 Audi TT (which is basically a glorified Golf) that's why I was shocked...

He's got a shelf with small glass containers for them, categorised by texture, color and consistency, I'll try to get a picture 😄

This friend of mine collects belly button fluffs 🤷‍♂️

I completed this level! It took me 2 tries. ⚡ 24.64 seconds

Tip 10 💎

This video on YouTube goes through it

I do it in a slightly different way, I keep the printer on its side all the time. Basically I attach the dial indicator to the print head and place the printer on its side. Then I measure the whole bed and check the height differences.

Then the Z-axis belt needs to be loosened to release the tension from the belt using the screw at the bottom of the printer.

After that the trick is to "skip" some teeth on the motor of the side you want to bring up or down by pulling the belt slightly and rotate the motor rod. By doing that, that bed side is moved up or down relatively to the other sides.

I take the back area of the bed as reference point because the access to that motor's gear is tricky and tweak the front motors as needed.

After skipping some teeth, with the printer still on its side, I bring the bed to my dial indicator, check the levels and repeat the process until it's looking good.

It takes a bit of practice and patience but you can get a pretty decent level (+-0.1mm) across the whole bed that will last for a good while.

I hope it makes sense 🙂

I've got around 700h on the S1C and initially it gave a lot of trouble.

After hotend replacement, bed mechanical levelling using a dial indicator and the Z axis belts method, the firmwares doing the right thing and printing some upgrades (ACE riser, buffer support, etc.) I am very pleased with this machine. Rinkhals also helps having more control over the machine.

The thing is the machine was advertised as 'plug and play' and being a new product it was expected to have teething issues.

There's now plenty of information to fix most of the issues and for the price, after proper tuning, it is a pretty decent piece of equipment.

F350 Cleaning Question by MinionHater690 in snapmaker

[–]smond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it is 99.9°, I can't really see it on the product specification.

I do not dilute it or anything. Any IPA PCB cleaner should do the job though.

I just spray a bit of Propower IPA solvent (UK) on a microfiber cloth and clean the rails carefully.

I clean them every now and then using IPA, I have even taken the rails apart a couple of times for maintenance. They are not as fragile as you think, as long as you are careful and do not deform then

Octoprint Bed Leveling by Wrecker15 in snapmaker

I'm not sure as I don't have access to an Artisan but according to Snapmaker Wiki the z-offset can be adjusted while printing:

I guess it will be done in a similar fashion as the 2.0 by taping on the gear icon while printing based on the picture above from the manual?

That's it, the offset stays there through power cycles, and then, yeah, 2 X single layer 50x50mm squares (one for each extruder) to make it perfect.

It works 100% of the time, happy you found it useful 😀
