  13.            <description><![CDATA[ Hello All,<br />
  14. <br />
  15. I’m having trouble getting KAMP to work with my delta. <br />
  16. <br />
  17. I’ve followed the instructions and got all configs in place but when I try and print I get the following error <br />
  18. <br />
  19. Error evaluating 'gcode_macro BED_MESH_CALIBRATE:gcode': jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'probe_count'<br />
  20. <br />
  21. I think its cause a delta probe command is ‘round_probe_count’ and not ‘probe_count’ but I don’t know how to fix it as the KAMP files are ‘read only’ <br />
  22. <br />
  23. Any help, greatly appreciated.]]></description>

  42.            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks for sharing your design! Nice hotend! I like very much the integrated fan duct...<br />
  43. <br />
  44. On my previous DIY printer, I used a FNU hotend, which was made in one part, nozzle + looong heat-break, so it couldn't clog at all.<br />
  45. <br />
  46. [<a href="https://wiki.logre.eu/index.php/T%C3%AAte_%C3%A0_FNU#FNU" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">wiki.logre.eu</a>]<br />

  48. <br />
  49. I also designed an extruder using Bondtech double-gear, and both were working really great for more than 3 years, without any maintenance.<br />
  50. <br />
  51. Anyway, for this new design, I think I will first try the version without PTFE, and enlarge the hole to add one if it does not work well. I received my Rapido hotend: I will open it to see how they deal with the heatbreak/heatsink joint...]]></description>

  60.            <description><![CDATA[ It is a difficult question to give a definitive answer to as too many variables come into where the best place for any PTFE is. The most commonly used solution is to have the PTFE end well before the cold end, giving an "all metal" path. <br />
  61. <br />
  62. A low friction path is obviously the ideal, but the area where semi-molten plastic is being moved back and forth with retraction and with feed. The plastic can solidify and jam on any step (and there is always a step)<br />
  63. <br />
  64. I made perhaps a dozen variations on my nozzles to try to get something that would work with ABS, PLA, and Nylon and found a workable compromise. The final solution had the PTFE a little below the bottom of the heatsink and the copper tuning slug about where it is shown in the drawing.<br />
  65. <br />
  66. [attachment 120654 NozzleThermal5.jpg]<br />
  67. <br />
  68. Having said that it works, I still have to disassemble the nozzle a couple of times a year to clean out plastic that has forced itself between the PTFE and the stainless steel of the feed tube.<br />

  95. <br />
  96. I'm using a direct drive extruder, but my goal is to print high temperature materials, like ABS or Nylon, so I think I need a good cooling. For PLA, the effector alone may be enough.<br />
  97. <br />

  107.            <description><![CDATA[ If the body of the effector is metal then the water path you show should be good. I don't think a plastic 3D printer effector would be any good though - if that is what you mean by 3D printed.<br />
  108. <br />
  109. In general, the thinner and lighter the stainless steel of the heat-break is the less cooling the cold-end has to do. Obviously, the heat -break has to mechanically support the hot-end so it can't be too thin. Having some form of insulation between the hot-end and cold-end to prevent convection and radiation from transferring heat helps as well - I found that cuttlefish bone was an astonishingly good high-temperature insulator if wrapped in Kapton tape.<br />
  110. <br />
  111. Some early hot-ends did not have a cold-end at all and worked very well until they were tried on printers with Bowden feed. The necessity of retraction between moves transferred enough heat to gum things up. In general, Delta printers do need more cooing than others, but still not nearly as much as on many printers. If you are using direct drive then you can probably reduce the cooling again.<br />

  148. You could form a copper water tube to fit exactly where you show your heat pipes. Thin-walled K&amp;R copper or brass tube can be formed by filling it tightly with fine silver sand, crimping the ends, annealing to red heat then bending or hammering to shape. Example of bending and flattening here: [attachment 120636 SemiBerd.jpg]]]></description>

  182.            <description><![CDATA[ Hi!<br />
  183. <br />
  184. Last year, I replaced my big home-made CoreXY 3D printer with a used FLSUN SR. This is a nice printer, but I don't like Bowden extruders¹. So, I recently replaced the SR one with an Orbiter (using the original hotend).<br />
  185. <br />
  186. As I would like to print special filaments, like ABS, ABS+glass fiber/carbon, or even PC/POM, I plan to make an enclosure, and use a better extruder and hotend (I chose a Bondtech LGX Lite, and a Phaetus Rapido 2 Plus HF). Like on my CoreXY, I would like to water cool the hotend. So, I'm designing a new custom effector (which will be CNC milled, probably by PCBWAY), and I would like to have your feedback on my design:<br />
  187. <br />
  188. [attachment 120631 k0004.png] [attachment 120632 k0005.png]<br />
  189. <br />
  190. First, I plan to remove the Rapido heat sink, and screw the heater block directly onto the effector. The heat break pressing part will be integrated in the effector too.<br />
  191. <br />
  192. Second, I plan to use Propper Printing's idea: heat pipes, but here, with a copper water block (soldered to the heat pipes). The top surface of the effector and the bottom surface of the part holding the extruder and pressing the heat pipes onto the effector will be polished, to get a good thermal contact.<br />
  193. <br />
  194. I have no idea what power to dissipate in order to keep the heat break cool, and have the best thermal gradiant possible. But I think a water cooling system should be able to transfer much more heat than a air cooling system. At least, if well designed!<br />
  195. <br />
  196. I first wanted to integrate the water cooling into the effector itself, but I didn't find a good way to do that (the problem is to manufacture the holes, due to the weird shape of the effector).<br />
  197. <br />
  198. Any advice welcome!<br />
  199. <br />
  200. Thanks,<br />
  201. <br />
  202. PS: I'm not sure I will keep the original cooling fans, but rather use a berd-air pump, like I did on my CoreXY.<br />
  203. <br />
  204. ¹ I already did some tests in the past and found that Bowden extruders modify the structure of the plastic, leading to much more brittle parts. I think this is because of the pressure of the extruder gears on the filament, followed by a long time to rest before beeing melted... I would love to have the exact explanation.]]></description>

  216. <br />
  217. quick scanning through the config i missed it the first time.  since that's the z value, and i think the z tower is directly in the line of the y axis if I draw x/y axis lines on the print bed, any time the print head was traveling along the y axis direction the issue occurred since the max accel of the z motor was slower than x and y.]]></description>

  244.            <description><![CDATA[ The max acceleration was a typo, didn't realize i was touching the touchpad and modified it when i pasted it. should have been 1000, 1000, 1000, 750<br />
  245. <br />
  246. it is a delta.  an old rebuilt Folgertech Kossel 2020 from 2016 that i decided to resurrect.  updated the firmware and configuration settings.  did a few prints and not been happy with the results so i have been doing any calibrations i can think of.  after doing an extruder calibration and starting flow calibrations i noticed the way the print result was and started watching exactly what the printer was doing.  after watching a couple 30mm test cube vase prints, i started to see the speed difference.<br />
  247. <br />
  248. i have previously measured and adjusted all three towers so they are all within 0.5 mm height (tightening the screws makes them shift a hair)<br />
  249. <br />
  250. i have done multiple G33 auto cals and tweaked everything accordingly. <br />
  251. <br />
  252. i am going to try changing my slicer and print application as well.  <br />
  253. <br />
  254. currently controlled with octoprint server on Rpi and Cura to slice.<br />
  255. <br />
  256. ill try using Cura through usb connection to print directly, then ill try prusa to slice and pronterface to print. and see if there is any change.]]></description>

  276.            <description><![CDATA[ Hello,<br />
  277. <br />
  278. what i am seeing is related to the x,y directions on the print bed and best described as:  print a square, when the print head travels in one direction, it goes twice as fast as the other direction.  <br />
  279. <br />
  280. the faster direction is when travel is from -x to +x and +x to -x. example, travel from x10, y-10 to x-10, y-10. is twice as fast as from x10, y-10 to x10, y10<br />
  281. .<br />
  282. what this is causing is on a test square, two opposite sides are smooth, two opposite sides have holes or thin spots because of the fast movement.<br />
  283. <br />
  284. marlin 2.1.2, no issues with the z axis movement, here are all the settings related to this in my firmware.<br />
  285. <br />
  286. #define XYZ_FULL_STEPS_PER_ROTATION 200<br />
  287. #define XYZ_MICROSTEPS 16<br />
  288. #define XYZ_BELT_PITCH 2<br />
  289. #define XYZ_PULLEY_TEETH 20<br />
  290. #define DEFAULT_XYZ_STEPS_PER_UNIT ((XYZ_FULL_STEPS_PER_ROTATION) * (XYZ_MICROSTEPS) / double(XYZ_BELT_PITCH) / double(XYZ_PULLEY_TEETH))<br />
  291. #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT   { 80, 80, 80, 137.38 }<br />
  292. #define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE          { 2500, 2500, 2500, 300 }<br />
  293. #define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION      { 1000,1000,4,750 }<br />
  294. <br />
  295. delta radius and diag rod length have both been measured.<br />
  296. <br />
  297. i am not sure what to check or modify to try and adjust the speed of movement in the x direction on the print bed.]]></description>

  315.            <description><![CDATA[ Usually called rod end bearings although the names rose bearing, rose joint, ball end joint or spherical plain bearing are all used.<br />
  316. There are a lot of variation in construction, some with a hole in the bearing, some with a stud sticking out. I like the plastic rod end bearings from IGUS as they have a long service life with minimal maintenance.<br />

  339.            <description><![CDATA[ These joints are sometimes called gimbal joints or perhaps Spicer joints though I think that variation has another name that slips my mind. The joint itself consists of the clevis joint and the bearing that the clevis fork is mounted on<br />
  340. Gimbal joints were used on the earliest Delta printer such as the Rostock, but were rapidly replaced by ball joints of various sorts - including the magnetic joints common now.<br />
  341. I think that gimbal joints have more play and some geometric errors that ball joints do not have, but are preferred in things where the acceleration can be quite large. In a 3D printer, most of the movements are during printing and the speed and acceleration are constrained by how fast plastic can be laid down. Conversely, in a pick-and-place machine, most of the time is spent moving from the supply of parts to the destination so higher speeds and accelerations are desirable.<br />
  342. Video of a Rostock from 10 years ago with the "Spicer joints" clearly visible [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tM17pXZQls" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.youtube.com</a>]]]></description>

  372. <br />
  373. (Im' quite new in the 3D printing world ;))<br />
  374. <br />
  375. I have the same problem here. The printer was working (very) well and suddenly, the first layer has impressive inconsistencies: on one side, the head is to close from the bed, and on the other side, the head is really too far, and thus the PLA does not hang on the bed.<br />
  376. I have tried multiple bed leveling, when bed is cold, when bed is hot... Bed leveling seems to work fine, but the problem is still here.<br />
  377. <br />
  378. Any ideas? Thanks :)]]></description>

  389. oke, so superslicer it is then! that is a good way to start.<br />
  390. <br />
  391. yeah it says driver error, I will go and check the micro stepping settings. but it is supposed to be uart connection, so those are still set in the software (although it will have effects hardware based.).<br />
  392. Do need to check, that the assumed uarts connection is working, one of the things i was planning to use cura for.. <br />
  393. <br />
  394. I also believe thewre mightbean issue with the speeds setting (moving, homing en excelleration), as most of these were picked sort of randomly. <br />
  395. I will go and try to find a proper online calculator for these tasks. (any suggestions?)<br />
  396. <br />
  397. If the problem remains, i will post a video.. :D<br />

  441. To control the printer via USB use [<a href="https://www.pronterface.com/" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.pronterface.com</a>] I tried to setup a profile on cura for my Delta a few days, but despite setting all the parameters it keeps reverting to a rectangular bed. Superslicer works perfectly for my setup so im not changing anything.<br />
  442. <br />
  443. If it says driver error, it has to do with the settings of the driver. Check your microstepping settings, maybe thats the issue. This is a hardware problem and no software interface will be able to fix it be it pronterface or cura or what have you. Also if possible please upload a video, it will help with understanding what the exact problem is.]]></description>
