What do you consider high speed printing? 120 - 150mm/s is quite common with the V0 but you get good acceleration values (15-20k) and this is where the time saving really comes in. if you want to go faster you can but its not cheap as you will start to wander from the standard set up. but from...

Look no further, you can have a look here. (sorry couldn't upload them directly as they are too big apparently) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/x7kkzi4wd0krp01dtnohk/h?rlkey=2u2tmtsy3y8skoea3v2pz2txy&dl=0 to give a brief idea of what i did... I wanted the side panels aswell as the front door to...

I have to say that the bed for me personally is spot on, only had to level it once as others have said and have had zero issues with it. So I'd be in the category of bed springs = yes, ABL probe = no. The top hat is much improved with the v0.2 variants but the cabling to the hotend still has...

I just posted a similar thred before seeing this. i too have this issue but mine i think stems from the connector crimps not making contact properly with the main pcb i might try something like a high flex 14 core cable to see if it improves the reliability currently I'm getting 100 hours or...

So I've been running my V0.2 for quite a while now (258 hours) and it runs like a champ, I even updated to the R1 version and is one of my go to printers. but i have been having issues with the umbilical on intervals... it seems to have issues with continuity on the plug and the main pcb (frame...

Unfortunately I don't seem to have a before picture of that area, but I have got a pic of what I did to mitigate what was happening on my machine. I have 1 layer between the motor blocks and the printed plate and 2 layers between the printed plate and the pcb of the umbilical. Before it...

after many hours pouring over the frame, gantry, rebuilding my tool head etc I can say I have tracked down the root cause of the strange resonances. here is a before and after shot of my adxl345 results. drum roll please.... it was the umbilical pcb and printed part fixed to the two motor...

thanx for your replay, i know this one might be tricky to improve on. i have tried mounting it on both the back of the strain relief and the tool head itself and both produced almost identical results. i used the same mount to do my dads v0.1 and he got some really nice results (18k for X and...

ok, so after sorting out my dads V0.1 i finally got round to building my V0.2. the build went really nice with no issues. after some tuning she prints really well and it was time to start ramping up the performance. resonance tests came back and i was really surprised as my Y axis is more than...

update time! it's all good news too. after swapping out all the other parts on the tool head without success, i only had 2 things it could have been. 1. bad set of BMG gears 2. bed set of printed parts it turned out to be the printed parts that came in the kit. they seem to miss align the BMG...

thanx, ill have a look over it and have a go

update time! i got the new ldo steep motor on last night and did some testing after updating the motor current to 0.6a. it now prints again but i have yet more issues. firstly i had to reverse the motor, not a big deal but it did confuse me at first. secondly, i was getting really inconsistent...

thanx for the info, i too used ellis's profile for my ender 3 V2 and just adapted it to suit. works very well espicialy for printing my own v0.2 parts. maybe i should do that for my dads V0.1. just thought id start with what came off the github V0.2 file and see how that went. thank you, it...

So long story short, my dad got a V0.1 kit and has give it to me for the time being to develop some prifiles so he can start printing some bits. i'm fairly new to superslicer, but am slowly building my knollege with it. I have loaded up the V0.2 slicer ini but I'm confused as to why the G-Code...

how much part cooling at you running? i had a similar issue and increasing my part cooling improved it. seems counter intuitive but i tried lowering it first and also no part cooling but it just made it worse. in the end i added another 10% part cooling and that seems to have done the trick...
