I would be very interested to get your take on Simplify3D versus Cura and Repetier. I am having Layer bonding issues that I am fixing by either the putting in the Duet 2 Wifi and if that doesnt work I have some new all metal Extruders that I like better than stock.. I would love to hear your take on the slicers.
-
I am waiting for a delivery from Amazon today to finish wiring in the new Duet 2 Wifi control board from my printer. The old printer's board was having problems holding the extruder at the right temperature. The longer it ran a print the lower the temperature on the extruder was running. Then I want to run the prints above. Is that benchy really that warped or is that a different version designed that way?
-
On the cheap controllers, the firmware is often not good to talk to octoprint. I tried it and it did a bunch of weird hangs. I have the Octoprint ready when the Duet 2 is installed :D. The Duet 2 can also run up to 6 extruders, so I am thinking I am going to upgrade. My pieces get here this tomorrow. I will try and get it running this weekend and post some pictures :D. For my printer I have been printing mostly PLA so I just use a little hairspray and it sticks to the build service like a champ.
-
Neat printer. I got the Tronxy X5SA. And today I ordered a Duet2 Wifi controller with a Duex 5 addin card. The structure of the printer I really like but I hated the controller. So I will let you know how it turns out. Have you done any calibration prints or benchys?
-
I have a role of PETG but not started on that. The Tronxy X5SA has many good points but the powersupply was horrible. I am looking to replace the controller with a Duet2 Wifi. I upgraded the Mosfet. I also am going to contain it to control temps. One thing I like is the corexy seems to be able to move faster. I look forward to seeing more printing projects. I am still learning.

Ahh so I have a weekend of work on the tank. See if I can get ready for some new visitors
-
What are you printing in? I have been working in PLA but it is bio degradable and the tank will eat it. I haven't had time to test it over a long term. It looks like your printer is a Anet A8 type printer. I played with that as a kit I got for christmas but then bought a Tronxy X5SA core-xy printer. Still blew the power supply and replaced it with a meanwell. Plan is to build an enclosure to hold the heat and make ABS easier to print. I cant get the temperature where I want it right now so I have avoided ABS. I do have some PETG which I havent been able to figure out how good it is in salt water.
-
From the reading I have done, ABS is the best bet but can be tricky to print since it is high temp and needs a good heated bed. Also dont let it sit out in humidity or it will bubble from water absorbed by the filament.
-
Stupid amount of work with a bunch annoying life attached. Have to admit I have just not done much for fun. Put I have been playing with a new 3d Printer kit (actually 2) The big ones chinesium power supply lasted 8 hours before I popped it. Replaced it with a nice meanwell supply that probably will outlast me
-
I was looking on the front page. When is the expo? I wouldn't mind a trip.
-
I am indeed still out there. Been busy and had not seen much happening in the forums. I have been playing with my new 3d printers and getting ready to make some adjustements to my tank. Anything exciting happening on the forums that snuck past me?
-
Looking forward to it.

Is there anything that the club needs help with for this event? I know we haven't had Jesse at a meeting in a couple months to do any group planning. Want to make sure I am helping where I can.
