My question on the nozzle brush options are how does the nozzle even get off the bed area to get to it? Doesn't the bed area correspond to the toolhead area?
Day 20:
Did the thing. Skirts are on. Skirt fans are on. Nevermore is on. Light baffle thingies are on. LCD is on (but not set up yet). The second webcam is mounted (I'm going to design/print a better mount for it tomorrow). Side panels are properly mounted. Top panel is properly mounted...
Day 19:
Since I put on the new magnetic sheet I've been printing almost non stop. Printed all the skirt pieces, printed the nevermore pieces, printed around 50 of the little LED clip thingies for the top extrusions. 100%. Heightmap is still showing .124mm of total variance, but that could be...
Day 18:
Well I fucked up.
Back when I was first building this beast I attached the magnetic sheet *over* the plastic covering on the bed. It decided to finally delimate and lift off the build plate.
That wasn't fun.
Spoke with LDO about it, they had a good laugh (probably), but pointed me in...
Day 17:
Done a bunch of work to try and help reliability. Tuned pressure advance, input shaper, extrusion, most of the Ellis guide. With all that and a good build plate cleaning, things seem reliable. Switched to a new chamber thermistor. Added a high flow Revo nozzle (0.6mm).
And then today I...
Day 16: Uh, I've lost count.
I found out what caused the *POP*! Turns out the CAN board does not appreciate getting fed 120vAC instead of 24vDC. Jumper had nothing to do with it. Replaced the board, replaced the U2C for good measure, spent an hour in the CAN discord trying to troubleshoot...
Day 15: Tuesday/Wednesday
Canbus stuff arrived, and as printing has gotten pretty much plug and play I immediately tore into it again. Glutton for punishment I guess.
Damn, those are some small connections. Got the toolhead board installed, got the can stuff flashed. Turned on power with the...
Day 14: Weekend
Didn't bother doing all the tuning stuff because the replacement bearings didn't arrive. I did tighten all the screws available and re-do Z-offset, and went from 4 failed prints in a row to 4 successful prints in a row. VERY happy with that. Bearings will be done tonight, I'll...
Going to spend some time this weekend (rainy) getting the tool head dialed in with the new bearings and running input shaper / etc. Tired of having to keep ripping it apart every weekend, so of course I ordered stuff to require another weekend doing so. Ordered a BTT EBB SB2209 and U2C setup to...
Hmm. Still having first layer issues scattered around the bed. I'll need to work on z offset this weekend.
On the plus side, this is now officially VT.1054!
Day 13: Weekend
Pulled the rails out of the bath and reassembled.
Pulled each of the rails off individually, greased them, and re-re-assembled. Dropped several bearings out in the process. Even so, they slide much better than before. Ordered bulk replacement 1/16 and 3/32 bearings.
Re-tensioned...
Day 12: A whole week (roughly)
So immediately after I took that screenshot of the webcam the print failed with layer shift. And every print since then has failed the same way. Something went wrong with the printer mechanics.
On Saturday I moved it back inside. And it refused to boot...
Print failure when trying to print yesterday led to finding this:
You called it.
Dunno if its ABS in general or the KVP ABS in particular, but it doesn't want to stay on the spool as nicely as the PLA I've used before has.
The exhaust cover and fan cover got printed, the rest of that assembly...
