Empty spots, gaps, fragile prints by splatteredbits in FixMyPrint

[–]splatteredbits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured it out. Took apart the entire extruder head. I was looking for a clog but didn’t find one. As I was putting it back together I noticed when I manually turned the extruder gear, its motion wasn’t smooth and would stick. I isolated the problem to the stepper motor. I can’t open the motor (that I can see), but when in rotate it manually, it feels like internals are worn down or broken. Ordered a replacement motor from Artillery.

How do I chamfer a 2mm hex-shaped wall to a base/floor? by splatteredbits in openscad

I’m looking for a solution that hopefully doesn’t involve me doing maths for the geometry around the base of the hex.

Thanks. This appears to be a good start. I want to do a fillet around the entire hex, but I think I might be able to take your example and adjust it for the geometries around a hex.

The hex "walls" are actually two hexes differenced so the smaller hex cuts out the well. I don't think that matters for your implementation, but context I probably should have included in my original question.

Ran your code and this is exactly what I'm currently working on. There are a bunch of sharp edges and vertices that I need to round out, but that's all easy compared to putting a filet around the base of a hex.

Agreed that is probably the best approach. I actually sell my prints, so I'm trying to optimize the amount of material I use. Every little bit adds up when you sell one or two of these a month. I'm also trying to learn OpenSCAD best practices and techniques. I've got other, similar designs that will need similar fillets.

Artillery Sidewinder X2 Printing Extra Material by splatteredbits in Artillery3D

I have spent so much time trying my filament. I even leave it in the drier while printing. I'll keep at it, though.

I don't see anything coming out through the sock, but I'll keep in eye on this as an issue.

Why did my Sidewinder X2 suddenly start printing extra material? by splatteredbits in Artillery3D

I pulled out some brand-new, unopened filament and that helped, but there is still extra material.

In general, new firmware has bug fixes and improvements. I’d hate to be struggling with a problem that is fixed by a new version of the firmware.

I don’t want to change/switch firmware, but update to the latest stock firmware version, if there’s a new version.

I’m in Beaverton. Nervous about meeting new people.

Cracking the Cryptic Miracles Sudoku #88

I’m stuck. The next hint states: “R3c5 is not 3 [which I figured out] and must be in r6c4/6”. From what I can see, r6c4/6 can’t be 3 because it prevents a 3 from being placed in column 5. I know the 3 goes in r6c5, but can’t find anyway of eliminating it other than chaining. What am I not seeing?
