No, it was really straightforward. Took me less than an hour and was an easy walk. Note: I don't have the standard printhead - I have the Mini AfterSherpa with an Orbiter. But I think the procedure is probably similar. From my memory: 1. Remove the two screws holding the printhead to the...

Hi! Printing some pretty standard stuff, using PLA with fairly standard/conservative settings. Most things print well, but I seem to keep having problems with corners that have overhangs. For some reason they get mangled if the corner degree is too high: 1. Any corner angle with no overhang...

There’s zero play from the linear rail now. Before there was a very noticeable play. Sure, if I push with some force the nozzle will move a bit but you can see that’s because there is some overall flex in the total X-Carriage assembly. Before I changed the rail there was a very clear play that...

After some initial pains I managed to get a BTT Mini 12864 (v1.0) display to play well with my V0.1 (SKR Mini v2.0). Figured I’d share the build procedure here. Made a minimal “Case” for the 12864 that attaches well to the V0.1 (Note: I don’t use skirts)...

Sure! Before: Have a look at my post from Jan 30 where I’m holding up the sheet. There you can clearly see that there is an issue on the lower part of the printed sheet. Also there is a video that shows the play when you gently push the print head forward/backward. After: Look at my post from...

Hi! Yeah, managed to fix it! The Linear Rail was at fault - it was too loose in itself (i.e. preload too low). I wouldn't say the quality of the rail is low, i'd rather claim the preload was too low. I wanted to go with a HiWin, but couldn't get hold of one quickly so ended up ordering the...

Yeah, that’s a good video to keep in mind. The bed mesh picture resembles the pattern above (although mine is slanting on one side). My main suspect is the linear rail not being tight enough though - will get my hands on some new linear rail and report back.

Yeah, that's just PLA. I can get the bed up to 110 (i.e. when printing PC) (Verified with IR + Temp Probe), but use 55 for PLA. Attaching some photos of my printer here. Yeah, I think that's the correct diagnosis: The X Linear Rail I has too much play, and the PTFE guide tube is...

Here's a video of me pushing/pulling the printhead. Note that I'm using no force at all, just gently pushing. All the play is in the MGN7 rail, not in the Beam or Printhead. Do you guys/gals have similar play in your MGN7 X-Rail?

Thanks for the tip! - However, the extruder is calibrated: Both for length (i.e. 1m == 1m) as well as the Extrusion Multiplier (Flow). I get great results on the first and top layers if I print in the "middle" of the printer area, it's on the front side (Y around 10-40mm) I get this bulge that...

Wondering if it’s normal to have a slightly irregular first layer on the V0.1. I’ve got a pattern roughly traversing the X axis on my first layer. See pictures. I’ve ruled out the basics (Dirty build plate, uneven bed, uneven build plate, …) and my speculation is that it’s the printer head that...

Thanks for the feedback! Any opinions on the “Voron” Dragon ST vs the Dragon SF?

This has probably been asked many times on Discord, but I'm trying to figure out of there is some concensus / pros / cons on the bewildering array of Hotends out there... Seems like these are some popular choices, but I can't figure out what the pro / cons of each of them are: (In terms of...

I'm using a Threaded v6 with the Orbiter v2.0 - great Direct Drive combo IMHO. You'll need a custom toolhead cowling though (check out the Mini-Aftersherpa Project). I can also post the one I used (Fusion 360 hack of the Mini-Aftersherpa) if someone wants it. With the pancake motor that comes...
