Hello crimsonyoshi,

sorry for the late reply. Thank you for that detailed description, very informative. I will check my model and modify if needed.

Regards

Hello crimsonyoshi, thank you for your detailed explanation. I'm using PLA. So, I think the best way for me would be to prepare some much smaller models and make a few test prints. If I understood correctly, I've to ensure a proper temperature for the task (not too hot/cold). Can you explain the sho...

Hi, I'm on the way to print my first model which might need support structures. The project can be described as a hollow sphere of 25cm diameter and a wall thickness of 1cm. The model itself is split into five parts, so each part makes about 10-30% of the height. Even when having the model split int...

Yes, all questions fully answered =) Thanks a lot, I'll do it according your instructions.

Hi,

just saw that there are updates to the N2 touch software and the motion controller firmware. Is there a special order in which I should do those updates or can I simply put both images on a memory stick at once?

Regards

Hi Jetguy, That tells me you don't understand gcode in the slightest. Not trying to make fun of you, just pointing out a major gap in your knowledge base. Full ack. I never claimed to know anything about gcode =) That's why I asked about the data file and if it's in ANY way related to the slicer set...

Hi, does anyone know what the contents of the data file are? From what I've figured out yet at least a picture of the print is included to show the status on the touchscreen. The picture will fill up as the print process proceeds. So, if the G-code file is from a different software, someone can get ...

As far as I can see the toolset offsets are correct. Tool 0 is assigned to left extruder, offset 0/0 and -25/0mm for tool 1 (right extruder). The only confusing thing is that negative sign for the right extruder offset. However, I haven't made a S3D print yet, so it might be that the offsets are rea...

Hi Steve, I saw a shift when disabling 'apply tool offset' option, if I remember correctly. My current problem is that I've set the 'offset from origin' option to 152.5mm for both X and Y axes to achieve the same behaviour as in Raise3D IdeaMaker software regarding positioning of the models. Now, th...

Hi,

are there any recommended settings for S3D beyond simply choosing the printer model (N2 dual in my case)? For example, any pre- and postprint G-Code commands, layer/extruder settings, etc.?
And are there any settings which shouldn't be changed?

Regards

Hi, I think I'll try a new bed surface and/or leveling the bed. In the meantime, I'll use PrintaFix spray. Until it seems that at least most of the problems are gone, only some small portions of the current BuildTak sections used still have no adhesion. So I'll also try to use the other sections. Re...

Hi ABH, for the adhesion over the whole part I think I've found a good setting in IdeaMaker. The first layer looks good, the problem is that only some regions of the first layer seem to have no good adhesion, which results in curling up. That's why I think the BuildTak surface has lost it's adhesion...

Hi, okay, I'll try the sandpaper. My temperatures are 210°C for the nozzle and 80°C for the bed, currently using the yellow PLA filament which was included with the printer. Sometimes I can also see that the first line doesn't stick to the bed, causing the line moving with the extruder. However, I c...

Hi, I've read about people having problems with Buildtak and removing the finished parts from it. For me, I've the problem that the material doesn't adhere well on some spots. The material curls up (using the filament which was included with the N2) on different points. What I haven't figured out ye...

Hi Jetguy,

Ah, okay. Then I'll use this approach. Even if it's not possible to always have exact the same position it should be sufficient for bed leveling.

Thank you.

Regards

Hi, I wonder if there's a way to command the printer head to move to given positions? It seems that I have to level the bed of my N2. Moving the head by the touch interface in steps of 10mm is time consuming, especially for bed level checking when the edge positions have to be moved on more than onc...

Hi Jetguy,

thank you for sharing your experience with S3D, really appreciated. I think I'll buy a license.

Hi Vicky & walshlg,

good hint, didn't think about creeping filament.

Regards

Hi Jetguy,

sorry for the late reply. Thank you for this link, very interesting.

By the way, are there any recommendations for the Simplify 3D software? I'm thinking about buying it.

Regards

Hi Vicky,

now it's clear, thank you for clarification. So, the bottom tube for the fan is used only for ABS and similar, right?

Regards
