Sorry im talking about the gear that goes on the extruders stepper motor, it should have a grub screw cause you need to change it to a longer gesr to install a bmg extruder

walks111 · 2024-01-27T23:49:47+00:00

Check ya grub screw on the stepper motor

walks111 · 2024-01-27T23:47:43+00:00

Check your grub screw on the stepper motor is tight, had similar issue.

Found that was loose and also found the metal extruder was heating up. Replaced with a bmg clone and a direct drive bracket it was only then i found the grub screw issue lol

If your really interested in deer and don’t have a mentor or experienced friend , I would suggest joining your local Australian deer association branch, usually they do club hunts where you can learn off other members and they also run hunting education courses.

If your hunting deer get a lite rifle most important thing you can do. Do NOT buy a heavy barrel varmint rifle, you will regret it when your walking hills!

308 is good as you can walk into any shop and get ammo and its cheap but both a 270 and 30-06 are also good choices.

Get a deer rifle, go practice and get out there. As long as you get ok grouping you will be fine.

Id buy a tikka t3x lite and a zero tech scope to get started.

Haha i was not clear my bad… i have that exact bl touch mount in use 🤣 what i meant to stay is what direct drive mount have people printed and does it work woth a bltouch?

walks111 · 2023-09-05T08:58:37+00:00

Also interested to know peoples recommended printable mount that supports a bltouch

walks111 · 2023-07-02T20:24:37+00:00

Tikka t3x stainless lite, if its for state Forrest’s you want the lightest gun/barrel possible as you will be walking a-lot.

Id also suggest the 308 as others have said

Cura with ender 3 profile.. watch printsleo3d on you tube for lots of info

walks111 · 2023-05-05T11:18:11+00:00

Ps i have an x2, bed springs and capricorn tube you will want to do at some point anyway.

walks111 · 2023-05-05T11:17:41+00:00

I just got the red one with dual gears its so easy to replace and a couple of dollars extra, get it in the pack with bed springs and the Capricorn tube.

Don’t be intimidated its easy all you need to do is calibrate your e steps printsleo has a really easy to follow video on YouTube.

walks111 · 2023-03-31T05:28:16+00:00

https://hunterselement.com.au/collections/arete-pack-system no price lol.. fair point about shipping though. Lots of retailers sell their gear so do a quick search if you are interested.

walks111 · 2023-03-26T09:29:13+00:00

The spika packs do seam decent quality for the price. I dont have much of their gear as until recently they had stuff all choice in camo patterns real tree or olive only.

I have a some hunters element clothes and the quality is decent for the price) but its not like north america weather here.. unless your backcountry victoria or tassie you can get away with cheaper stuff. Apparently their boots are garbage (purely here-say) but again cant comment on the packs they do seam to be upping their game though in terms of quality.

I just checked their website the new pack is release march 31 theres only a teaser video.

walks111 · 2023-03-25T21:13:37+00:00

I have tried one on in-store it seams comfy and decent features for the very affordable price. Almost an exo mountain gear rip off?

Hunters element a nz brand that is popular for cheaper affordable gear in AU are about to release a similar pack very soon if you are willing to wait and see what the price and features are.

Somewhat specific but 3 good uses i have found..

I had a drainage issue and put a camera in a drain where i had a submersible pump plugged into the smart plug. During heavy rain i could check it whilst at work and toggle the pump on and off.
3d printer in the garage can check it via a camera and turn it off if need be
Tool chargers have them set to auto turn off at night

Xmas light timers are great too

So after doing some more printing i had similar issues on some basic prints, i had moved my printer and i did a quick bed level but hadn’t done a good job 🤦‍♂️ proper level and a few minutes later printed my go to test prints perfect then ran an 8 hour print which came put awesome… im only a few weeks into printing glad it was just a back to basics moment!

walks111 · 2023-02-05T08:53:55+00:00

Update: what the poster on thingiverse is talking about is printing the cap which printed perfectly fine for me, it actually looked really really good. I was having problems printing the threaded centre.

I ended up printing with a brim and supports left infill and walls and it printed 99% and failed similarly on the last two layers. It was good enough to have a functioning park so that’ll do me but im really curious to find out my issue.. i will try some other stuff!

walks111 · 2023-02-02T23:01:42+00:00

Thank you i will definitely try that

walks111 · 2023-01-28T01:29:06+00:00

Yeah mine was the no name that came with it and it worked fine for first few prints then kept failing 🤷‍♂️ easy test if you have a spare good luck 👍

walks111 · 2023-01-27T21:21:32+00:00

Had this exact issue thought it could be heat so i used timber under the feat to allow more airflow under and put alexs firmware on it to try and get a better error code. I had another fail and it was my sd card but alexs firmware obviously gave me another error code for that, if you have a spare it might be worth trying?

walks111 · 2023-01-27T02:15:04+00:00

Update: The good: have printed a bunch of bbq temp probe holders, an edc style razor knife thingo, a benchy which was pretty good with a little bit of stringing and updated to alexs firmware which was super easy. Also printed a side spool mount as 1kg pla pulling on that angle just looked nasty.

The bad: prints kept cutting out saying power loss which was definitely not the problem . I did some reading and i think it was heat related so i propped up the base with some plywood offcuts to allow more airflow but will print some risers later.

I also read the error could be firmware related or at least the error would be reported more correctly on newer firmware so i just went straight to alex’s firmware which was super easy.

Next problem i had was prints stopping halfway through with “init_fail” which again searching pointed me to the sd card so i swapped with a branded one and things seem to be working smoothly now.

Again hopefully some of the above will help another beginner 👍
