"Extrusion width" setting in the slicer is only a parameter used by the slicer to calculate the slicing pattern. You cannot measure a physical "extrusion width" the way you show here. The width of the extruded plastic in free air which you measure in the photo will depend on plas...

The calibration settings should correspond to the settings used for normal printing. I am usually printing ABS at 235 C, 0.1 mm layer height, extrusion width = nozzle diam. = 0.4 mm. I noticed you use 0.3 mm layer height, nozzle = 0.6 mm and extrusion width = 0.6 x 1.2 = 0.72 mm, so this is quite di...

Don't know if it helps with your "zits", but M900 K20 seems low to me. For ABS I have been using K80.

Maybe you would like to read my post here: http://forum.raise3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6666&p=26601#p26601 I don't believe that I am the only one with a printer that suffers (suffered) from this. Also, I like doing the gantry adjustment in a different way than what is recommended by Raise3D...

OK calm down now. Everybody is free to do as he likes. I just wrote how I did it and feel comfortable with. If people find this difficult, then don't bother. About security: Your remote desktop setup isn't fully secure either. It is a far more common "specie" behind an IP address than a Ra...

?? When and where do you enter the printer's serial number into Ideamaker to make a connection? What version of RaisePack and matching Ideamaker does this? I use ideaMaker Ver. 3.1.0.1545 and latest RaisePack. As far back as I remember I have seen this setup window for adding a new connection to a ...

I am normally not arguing against security on the Internet, but I honestly believe this is paranoia. We are talking about opening a single port here. A port that is under full control of the application SW running on the pcDuino. I don't know the protocol used for the printer communication, but the ...

I wouldn't think that searching for Raise3D printers on port 31625 on random IP addresses would be the first priority of evil hackers :-). The printers might receive some "noise" on port 31625 from the wide Internet, but not something that would be interpreted as valid Raise3D printer comm...

If Raise3D uses a motion controller firmware that is a modified version of Marlin, then they will be forced to share their modifications. That is the condition for using SW (Marlin) published under the GNU General Public License. So, as Raise3D wants to be a serious trustworthy company, I have no do...

Just want to say thanks for all the hard work and improvements you are making in firmware for the group. I would love if Raise 3D worked with you on the new Pro series. You are very welcome. My efforts is only a fraction of your great contributions to this forum :-) I really enjoy LIN_ADVANCE mysel...

PID autotune worked OK for me, but the temperature wasn't updated in the touch display. This was caused by the temperature reporting format from the motion controller wasn't updated (or rather downgraded to the old format that the touch computer expects). I have now corrected this in the firmware fi...

There is no strict need for a regulator, just use two small 0.5W 10 ohm resistors in series with the blower wires. This has worked for me for more than a year: http://forum.raise3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1337&p=11918&hilit=blower#p11918

Check your hotend for a blockage. Heat the hotend and push down the steel rod that came with the printer. This, and also check the condition of the nozzle itself. You might have a damaged nozzle tip because the tip accidentally hit something. A damaged nozzle orifice will not prevent you from makin...

Model fan: It all depends on what you are printing. If you need great details, rely on bridging and good overhangs, then, at least with PrimaSelect PETG you need to compromise on optimal layer bonding either by reducing the nozzle temperature or adding fan cooling. Of course, if you are printing a s...

I am very happy with my current print quality, but realistically speaking, I don't know how much the tighter bushings contributes. Intuitively it cannot be good for print quality with large play in the system. Maybe it is mostly psychological, there is no more rattling from the system when printing ...

As I wrote, gradually increasing the shim thickness in steps of 50 µm until free movement was obtained over the full print area. If bearings and bushings have significant play, then this method cannot be used, of course. Currently I have no play in bearings and bushing I can feel or hear. Maybe thes...

I would like to report an "issue" here, that I think is relevant for users struggling with the printer head not moving freely over the print area. Over time I have gradually reduced the play in the printer head and the gantry by replacing the stock bearings, bushings and rods with better q...

I have a single extruder printer that has a dedicated model cooling fan on the right side. I use a custom fan/duct, but also the stock printer has this model cooling fan that can be controlled from firmware. For a dual nozzle printer I guess you have to adjust the air flow by the small flap on the b...

The reason I went "down" to 230 deg was to improve overhangs, but if you don't need good overhang performance then it is probably better to prioritize good layer bonding. In my experience, going below 230 gives worse layer bonding and better overhangs; going above 230 deg gives better laye...

That's exactly true. It is the curved shape of the filament that creates the friction. I have tried to mitigate the wear by extending the 4 mm PTFE tubing all the way down into the casing. That means that most of the "straightening" take place inside the PTFE tubing. The PTFE tubing last f...
