I printed all the parts I needed for my 2.4 build on my Monoprice Maker Select Plus (a rebranded Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus), enclosed under a couple of cardboard boxes taped together. The parts were… functional, but not exactly pretty....
Klipper started throwing an error and shutting down while trying to heat the extruder. The extruder was cold, which basically meant a heater wire break. Thankfully it was very easy to find. So much for buying a nicer harness. Grumbles aside, I wonder if this wire got pinched when I assembled the chains, which lead to an early...
Working on a wall mount for my NAS to get it out of my basement airspace and into a closet. It’s a tray that the NAS fits fairly snugly in and will screw into an exposed stud....
The build was completed about 2 months ago. In that time I’ve gone through probably 5 KG of filament....
Build process is 99% complete. I taped on the panels initially using painter’s tape so I could print the skirts and a few mods in ABS. Several mods are already in place, including Nevermore, panel clips, picam mount, Rock-‘n’-roll, and LEDs. I had a TFT50 screen sitting around from a defunct Ender 5 that I swapped with...
The only real change between my last post and this one is getting “the filter” printed, assembled, and running. This doesn’t seem like a print that would be prone to warping, so it’s probably not a great test, but I am trying brimless. I can feel a decent amount of heat coming off the enclosure, so it’s certainly...
Finished everything up assembly-wise. Still lots of tuning to do, but I’d say this first print looks phenomenal for not having done any tuning other than Klicky+calibrate_z
Some below deck electronics done too. I’m so close I can smell it
Interestingly I could print smaller ASA parts on my i3 clone with an ultrabase bed unenclosed without much of any warping. Granted, it was leveled way too low… my Voron has a great first layer and no elephants foot, but… it needs to be enclosed for most anything ASA and preheated for moderately large prints. Makes it hard to...
Also got it belted up, but found out afterwards that I used a grease that is controversial on the rails (superlube with syncolor). It’s recommended by LDO and Nero3D uses it in his video, but many folks on the Voron Discourse say it’s a no-go. I’d rather not risk it, so I’m uninstalling the rails, cleaning/degreasing...
It’s not done yet (need to print a new klicky mount since the one I have seems to be sitting 3-4mm too low, need to mount panels, build the filter, and tune), but it’s printing! After I fixed x-offset print quality is really pretty good with basically stock profiles and zero tuning beyond e-steps....
Just installed the Sherpa Crew Mini on the Dirtybird and seems to have improved the issue 6.
My first Lemmy post(because I’m done with Reddit too and I want to see this one succeeds) I’m also updating my progress as I go on my blog. The kit and MP themselves have been great so far....
