  1. He could call it a USB 3000 'stick' You mean like this...
  2. Well you are certainly right. My new, less than a week old nozzle is no longer pointy nosed. It is not 3mm in diameter like the first one was when it failed, but it is flattening out after doing a few glow-in-the-dark jobs. The stuff I have is like emory particles on a strand. I thought that the nose doesn't touch as it lays out the next layer, but apparently it drags as it builds? I set my nose in bed leveling at about 0.11 mm on the bed center and get excellent results from a new nozzle, but I started noticing quality changes after a few print jobs and sure enough, the nozzle is starting to flatten. I am going to have to get one of those tungsten nozzles I saw on Amazon. Are they all pretty much standardized or are they machine specific? I would think there are probably two or three main types, but I haven't looked yet. That's next. Just wanted to update you and confirm your assessments.
  3. Problem discovered and solved! Thanks for all the help guys, but check this out... After sending a couple kilograms of filament through my first nozzle (I did not really think they wore out that fast), I guess it gave up the ghost all at once. The new one has a much pointy-er nose on it and is spewing hot plastic like a finely controlled champ. Fat Bottoms, girls...
  4. Can I reset the entire software? Maybe the mod can move this post to here... Alrighty, link got (immediately) integrated. Nice forum engine.
  5. Sounds like you should add a ring and a lanyard for extra safety. Can you help me with a problem? I upgraded to the new cura on my PC and now my prints are trashed. What in the world have I done to my printer, much less my brain pain from it happening. AAAHHH!!!
  6. Hey guys n gals, I made these for my laptop because I move it around a bit on my desk (table). It is for Lenovo ThinkPad style laptops to cover the little rubber feet so it can slide around a bit easier and without shearing them off. I hope using reply to this topic is the right way to post a new thing. Lenovo Large Laptop Foot Pad Protector.stl Lenovo Small Laptop Foot Pad Protector.stl
  7. Well, the gcode command set is likely a fixed set (api), and the compliance is machine specific and excludes things like machine tool changes, or codes that operate other types of CNC controlled machines. Of course all machines are slightly different, like NVidia video cards. Some "do it all" and others only pat of the set. So, it beeps on boot, so there should be access to that part of the controller. I was just wondering if there was a Gcode for belching out a tone. My machine is a "Bornnew Artist- D Pro" It says "JG Maker" all over it. Thanks for your assistance.
  8. I want to hear my machine beep after it finishes a build. That's all. It beeps on boot, so it shouldn't be difficult to find it. Anyone know if there is a trigger code for this?
  9. I noticed leveling my bed one day that the filament was a bit taut (had tension on it) and when I relieved that tension the head dropped against my feeler gauge tighter. I had a few long print jobs that had layer separations, etc. I noticed that while printing that tension on the filament changes all the time and has quite a bit of drag against it at certain moments. So I decided to make hubs for us to smoothly spool our filament as it should be. Cheap solution too, the screws, washers, etc. were only about $12 at Home depot, and the spinners are $2 each at Meier for the bearings. I have a dual extruder so your single extruder mount should cost less. The STL file is the final version with a recess for a washer and the bearing flipped to the other side for better balance in both hub scenarios and less plastic usage. Spent several days chewing up the bugs. NEW edit: I massaged things for a bit to reduce plastic consumption. It works without the washer and bearing as well, although they make it very smooth. My spools spin freely now. No more occasional unknown strain on the filament. I updated the mediafire files and added a video of me removing the support in one clean move. I pared down the thicknesses since it will only be supporting a spool of filament and put holes and slots in to further reduce polymer consumption. There it is, guys. I saw on on line that had two bearings in it I still like mine better. 🙂 More pictures here, previous versions, etc. : https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ce5yir8kcrvgd/Dual_Filament_Spool_Hub 2Spool16prongHub.stl
