Re: Is there anybody out there?

Well, apparently this is now something that I need to pay attention to. I had the red locktite in my hand last night and I ALMOST used it. I wasn't confident in my reassembly, but I think I have it close. I may drill a dimple in the throat and use locktite later. I did find the assembly instruction ...

Re: Is there anybody out there?

Well,the saga continues. I resumed my work today by threading the lower Z bearing block to accept the new adjustable mount for the proximity sensor. I also have the new one printed for the BLTouch in the near future. I re-installed the bed and just began running the printer through a range of motion...

Re: Is there anybody out there?

I have a 3D Touch still in box I have flashed the BL-Touch firmware to verify firmware recognizes it & stayed with my TL-W3MC2 sensor. I will update you on any changes I make for the BL touch and post them here. I'll likely work with your information to get it working. I must say again - your i...

I may mess with Marlin 2.0 once I get back to printing. I assume you still have access to all your configuration files, no?

Re: Is there anybody out there?

Would like to see your upgraded Base plate, please post more information. I bought this from some retailer with Geeks in the name. I'll research that although you can likely acquire one of these anywhere. I bought this originally to add the 4th bearing block, and now it only has 3. I cant find the ...

Re: Is there anybody out there?

I will take a picture of it before I put the bed back on. The 4 bearings made me pretty salty. It just never printed anything good after I changed them. I have been testing everything as it sits and it appears that my proximity sensor is not stopping the nozzle. I am not sure if it's the board or th...

Re: Is there anybody out there?

Good to hear! I am going to have to live here for the next few days at least. I have forgotten a lot. Even reading my own old posts, I cannot decipher my own notes. The printer sat from right after I installed those bearings till now. It had issues like jittering through a print and making every pri...

Is there anybody out there?

Hello all,

I am finally returning to my Hictop printer (3dp-17) and getting it to work reliably. Anybody still got their ears on here?

The video is great, ....Now on I can simply reference this video. As a small, but trying YouTube channel who was monetized before they moved the goalpost last year (i need 750 more subs to get my $80.59), I really appreciate you sharing this video. It's gotten quite a few views between here and Red...

Re: Defeating the ABS curse.

Be careful adjusting the V-Ref use a non-conductive screwdriver, or one mistake can short the stepper motor driver. Use a Philmore 63-8276 flat blade alignment tool or a Ceramic Screwdriver Tool Anti static. I am sure this will make you cringe based on your reply and your profession. When I set the...

Re: Defeating the ABS curse.

I have had a 1mm build surface sheet on for over 2 years. Have never had a problem with the Proximity sensors finding my aluminum bed while using the 5vdc power source. You don't say, eh? Originally, I cut a sheet of glass for the bed, but I just decided to put the PEI direct on the bed. If I don't...

Re: Defeating the ABS curse.

:-) :-o I'm astounded how well the ABS juice sticks, and how a 20 degree drop in bed temp pulls the whole mess of clean as a whistle! PS, I got a 1mm sheet of 12"x12" PEI sheet in for the Hictop today. I plan to hook the level sensor up to 24vdc on Sunday so I can level through the PEI. it...

Defeating the ABS curse.

So then...I am printing the BosnianBill brand new LockLab lock pinning tray that he just designed. It covers more of the print bed than any other print I have tried. I used my ABS juice I made, and went for broke. As you can see, I am on the second layer and probably out of the "It's not gonna ...
