Has it ever happened to you that the printer randomly stops climbing during the print? like for several layers continuosly and at random points? Because it is a sort of z wobble but less regular and with the motors completely dead at least for 10-15 layers before returning to spin (and they don't most of the time)

Nice work bud. Im a machinist too. I'm very strict on my tolerances so if anything is out by .0005 it's getting adjusted. Lol

Ive been running this printer non stop for 3 years with 10-15k + hours and have just started to experience this issue. Replaced and tightened belts/rollers and all bolts. Countless slicer adjustments and i still cant get rid of wobble. Will be trying this fix next, running out of options.

I think I am getting Z-banding, but even when I print a flat object, the first layer has banding on the surface. That's only the first layer. Can it still be Z-whopping causing the print head issue?

@robertbritton80843 жыл бұрын
Thank you Mitchell for this video. If I may add, there is something critical that needs to be followed I think. For any shaft configuration, we need to follow the 2 points fixed and 1 point flexible rule, most common example are the drive shafs on car or trucks. If you lock the shaft at 3 places, you will overconstraint the system, I think the reason why you don't see any wobble, is because where you are measuring, you are actually measuring on a fixed part, the screw migh be bending, below the gantry. I have tried what you propose, but I have left the flexible coupling. Both ends are fixed, and what I noticed, as soon as the dial would shift, it was an indication the screw was not correctly aligned. I adjusted both ends, until there was no shift or compensation from the coupler, and was able to get good print. Also, what I noticed, I have 2 printer, but one has motor coupler exaclty like yours, and the other one has the flexible ones. the ones you have are called fix, and I think those are best. my printer with motor flexible motor, is a bad idea to use, because the shaft will not have a perfect run out, simply because it uses 2 set screws to hold in place. The fixed coupler seem to do a much better job, even for adjustement. I will change mine soon.

If you were using Cura you'd be able to alter the print speed at regular intervals automatically in the resulting gcode when the model is sliced. The same for temps. Relieves you from having to babysit the printer to do it manually.

You can do that in S3D as well but the whole point is to babysit it and make changes visually.

You would be so much better off creating your own - with the different filaments and slight differences in machines you will get so much better results with your own custom profile. You will also learn how to quickly create new profiles for new filaments. I have a different profile for almost every filament I have.

very easily- remove both top supports for threaded rod then loosen screws that hold thread rod in couplers at the motors. **be sure to support the gantry as it will fall** the just twist out rods and you can then remove the 4 screws holding them.

Hi, great video, i am using Cura and was satisfied till now with this slicer, but now something strange happens, when i take the same settings that you did, 1 wall count, no infill, brim support.. etc... cura only sets different printing predictions till 30mm/s... if i go higher... even to 100mm/s, the predicted time wont change... and more frustrating.. it will even print only with 30mm/s.. regardless of what i configure... do you have an idea where these restriction might come from ? Thank you in advance!
