begun the fighting with it after a few failed prints due to the nozzle hitting support and knocking it off the plate -_- any idea why it would be hitting the support, re-levelled the bed multiple times with a feeler gauge, if it's just printing one structure it's fine but when there's multiple it ends up knocking some off. ____________________ Current: Honda City Fly CLR125 2003 Honda CB600F Hornet 2008 Yamaha FZ6 S2 + 1991 Kawasaki GPZ500

My Anet A8 is printing like a champ.
I also have a Prusa Mk2 and it matches it in every way possible.
The A8 does have an E3D V6 conversion and auto bed levelling, but other than that, it's standard.

Beautiful consistency on the print. ____________________ struan80 - I'll go first - satisfied tick 1 |

the flexible connectors were set completely wrong, now i'm fighting with bed adhesion used the mrs hair spray on glass and got really good adhesion on a few parts (difficult to remove once done)
switched to sainsburys extra hold as she didn't want me using up her expensive hair spray and getting crap adhesion, may have to grab some of whatever hers is or try glue stick or something ____________________ Current: Honda City Fly CLR125 2003 Honda CB600F Hornet 2008 Yamaha FZ6 S2 + 1991 Kawasaki GPZ500

Just be careful when you spray it, it's incredibly flammable.
It's best to spray on while the glass is off the bed and yes not all hairspray works, if you find a nice cheap one, stock up ____________________ struan80 - I'll go first - satisfied tick 1 |

I have no adhesion problems in glass. All I do to it is (when cold) apply a some of elmers glue (purple glue stick) and let it dry for 5 minutes or so before I print. I hardly ever remove it. If needed (bits might come off with the print) I just reapply on top of it. The only time I clean it is when I start feeling bumps on the surface due to applying it too many times.
Shinigami are you sure your bed is properly levelled and your first layer is nicely squished onto the glass?
I just installed this auto-levelling sensor on Friday and it is working great: https://www.facebook.com/Hallon-1801871179844913/ you have to flash to Marlin but they provide a version with everything pre-configured. Just need to set the center on the firmware (if the provided does not center for you) and the Z-offset.
I went for this one because it just plugs to where the regular z-end stop plugs without having to change any wires, nor change the carriage. ____________________ Street Triple |

Hey now this is a topic that needs to be revived.
3D printers have come a long way, especially in pricing.
You can now get quality fdm printers and resin based printers between a few hundred dollars to a couple grand.
Best part, they now have these marketplaces like thingiverse where you can 3d print tons of parts anytime anywhere. As long as you have access to a proper printer I guess. I think Shiftboard may have one for their employees too. In the cafeteria I think.

I see wanhao have updated the Duplicator i3+ to a mark 2 version now with auto bed leveling .......and its the same price as the old version!! barstuards still at least I see there is a some custom 3rd party software available now ADV++ that has made PID tuning and step calibration and better leveling setup, 3 user defined pre heat options as well as acceleration,jerk etc all on screen user adjustable options so no more usb leads to the pc required..AND YES it has BL touch meshing for bed leveling auto enabled! I've stopped printing benchys and tat and now its mostly stuff I need thats modelled up on fusion 360 as a good free option. ____________________ Current bikes...cbr929, KDX200's, Rd125lc mk2, RGV250's |

Do any of you guys/girls use Fusion 360 for the design of your prints? I always used SolidWorks but seeing as Fusion360 is free for home use and work so long as your making under £100k a year I thought I'd give it a go. 6 months in and a change of the fusion 360 types by Autodesk and it now includes the CAM side of things so you can generate CNC programs on it with plenty of post processors to choose from and I mean quite a lot of current CNC systems not just some generic stuff. Lathes, live tooling twin spindle twin turret stuff as well as 3axis and 5 axis milling stuff which just last year would have set you back over £5k-£10K and its FREE!!!!
Anyone after having a play with 3d CAD/CAM and wanting to learn...or even if your a machinist already but want to improve have a google for TITANS OF CNC ACADEMY. They have a nifty building blocks training pack online thats how to model things up and program them out from the very basics to advanced stuff in a few stages. its designed with the intent of people being able to self teach at home for free and fill the impending shortage of modern skilled manufacturing jobs that they expect in the next few years, Any of you 3d printing geeks fancy making aerospace stuff in Titanium as a new career then go check it out
P.S. finally had a part on the little Wanhao i3+ fail, well a bearing got noisy so swapped it out for a drylin bush at £1.38 delivered next day from ebay ....it is now quiet again ____________________ Current bikes...cbr929, KDX200's, Rd125lc mk2, RGV250's |
