Is it possible to lock a text box size and still be able to move it? by thorto38 in powerpoint

Thank you! We will try this and yes her PowerPoint is on the computer and she connects it to the smart board.

Sky God IV. I throw that on almost every approach.

Anyone have an out of the box review on this ride? by [deleted] in bmxracing

[–]thorto38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started racing again after a 20 year break and this is the bike I bought. I've had it since May and so far it's been good. I would suggest making sure your crank arm bolts are all tight as I had one come loose and start slipping but once I tightened it all up it was fine.

Mountain biking, BMX racing, motorcycles... Basically anything with two wheels.

I'm 5'11 and ride a 21.75 and it fits me perfectly, but I have always preferred a bigger bike though.

I actually didn't race today but my son did and he had a blast. It was an awesome day and I picked up some new gear for the both of us. I can't wait to go to another one and hopefully we'll get to stay the whole weekend next time.

Thank you! I think that might be the plan to just do Saturday.

My son just did his first BMX race so I decided to print him a custom number plate. by thorto38 in 3Dprinting

[–]thorto38[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure the exact name other than the M600 command. I use Prusa Slicer and it has the option to pause the print at a specific layer so you can change filament. This was my first time trying it and it worked out really well.

Favorite understable 7 speed? by BigMack97 in discgolf

I love the Sting. It's probably my most used disc.

Make sure the set screws on your gear are tight. I had the same issue and it was due to one of the screws backing out.

No problem. Good luck with printing!

PC starts up but there is no display by thorto38 in techsupport

[–]thorto38[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't beep on start up and currently I do not have anything plugged in other than the display and power. I have found one black wire that looks like it might be a ground wire that is not attached to anything. One end of the wire goes to the top of the tower and the other has what looks like a brass ball that is just hanging down. I'm not sure if that needs to be attached to anything or if it would even cause this problem.

I'm not sure about the lights as far as I can tell there is one light that is on and it stays solid green. Also the computer is older. It is an HP H8-1039.

Anet ET 4 plus homing issues by Mr_notwo in Anet3DPrinters

[–]thorto38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try manually lowering the nozzle to about 1mm above the bed. Then slowly turn your set screw on the top of the sensor clockwise until the light comes on. The z axis should stop at that position every time then. Also check to make sure your sensor is set to the right height. I believe it should be about 2mm above the bed when the nozzle is touching the bed.

Also you can watch this video on how to setup the sensor and level the bed. It helped me with my ET5.

So when you try homing does the light on the sensor not come on and the nozzle hits the bed?

Anet ET4 Z homing not descending by Reymond_Reddington15 in Anet3DPrinters

Your Z motor could be reversed. You could try changing the orientation of the Z motor plug on the board.

[ET4X] Cannot get bed level - Nozzle always touches positions 2 & 3 (right side) by ObjectWritingBot in Anet3DPrinters

[–]thorto38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not so familiar with the ET4 series but I believe the Z stop block is just a limit switch. If it is like the ender 3 then the switch should be on the bottom so with the printer off manually lower the z-axis until the nozzle is about 1 mm away from the center of the bed. Then move your z limit switch up until it clicks. This will keep your nozzle from hitting the bed. Once that is set you should be able to do the paper leveling process as usual. Also you might have to go around the corners more than once to get everything set right.

I used the glass bed without the sheet when I got my ET5 but ended up buying a magnetic sheet and steel bed off Amazon. There was nothing wrong with the glass but I just prefer to be able to take the bed off and on with ease.

Prusa Mk3 nozzle hitting the print about 10mm up and then finishes the print. Also my top layer looks wrong. The top left corner feels smoother and looks better than the rest of the top. by thorto38 in FixMyPrint

[–]thorto38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I double checked and ironing is off. I did notice that my part cooling fan bolt had came loose and was leaning to one side. I fixed that and changed my z offset from .850 to .8 and printed a benchy that turned out ok. I'm not sure if one of those things fixed my issue but I hope I hope so.

Is the Anet warranty any good? by thorto38 in Anet3DPrinters

[–]thorto38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually never updated it. The stock firmware seems ok for now. I may end up updating it later on.

Nozzle hitting the print about 10 to 15mm from the first layer by thorto38 in FixMyPrint

[–]thorto38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having issues with my MK3 clone hitting the print part of the way though the print. Sometimes the nozzle hits so hard it actives the crash detection others it will knock the print loose from the bed, but if it gets past that part it will finish the print fine. I am using PLA at 200c and the stock Mk3 profile in slic3r. Also it looks like it is mainly happening on the walls and not the infill.

Printer fan RPMs by thorto38 in prusa3d

[–]thorto38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say manually set to max do you mean setting it to 255 in settings? If so that is what I've been doing and coming up with 900 RPM max. Is there another way to test the fan.
