noticed that the print progress display picture is tilted still. For example this is actually flat on the build plate:

please do. Very useful for things like looking at print traces around holes for press inserts and checking for problems when there are gaps around edges of these inserts

yes but that is a mistake. I want to see each trace independently when things aren't printing as expected. We need that functionality. BTW it's in every other slicer I've worked with.

print preview in 2d is now a problem. it no longer clearly shows the traces, instead, it merges the lines into a big white mass. Please go back to where we can see the print lines in 2d mode

I usually use 1 wrap. I also use 2 strips so that there is a sleeve that hangs out over the end you can cut the edges and fold it up and tape it like a present'

try pid tuning

Elvis would be proud of that Pelvis!

May I suggest: Make a model of a ring that encompasses your delta print volume. Place that on the ideamaker build plate first, then place the things you really want to print inside it. last, delete the ring before slicing

Interesting finding: The manufacturer is waiting for new boards and rec that I sanded the boards with fine grit. I sanded with 800 and 16oo grit and white flakes started coming off the plate - My guess is that the hairspray is contaminated with some heavy wax that you can't easily wash off. It accum...

lol love to get a warp core for the living room, but , maybe not

Thanks All

I believe the picture shows the problem: you most likely had head strikes from edge curl. This can happen with any filament but is most common with PLA and slanted walls. To prevent it: make sure fan is full on (uncovered) and insulate your hotend.

they got back to me and they are on order but they don't know when the new ones come in BUT I have not tried to recondition the board -> need to get after it with 1200 grit sand paper under water!

found the link - turns out it was glass fiber laminate but looks like they are out of stock for N2.

What other surfaces are you using?? I drop the plate every now and then so would like to avoid glass !

Does anyone have a link to the carbon fiber print beds? I need to order a new one and can't remember where i got it!

It woud be very helpful to know how long it ACTUALLY took to print something. I understand that there is no feedback from the motion board BUT you could time from the start of loading gcode until the temperature drops.

looking at your design, a simple balloon may do the job

a bit confused by the vid,, was the bellows printed in tpu??

try just a bit at a time to isolate the problem

you may be suffering from a head strike because of edge curl. You can get that on any filament, especially bad with PLA. i suggest insulating your hotends.
