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...

Re: Is there anybody out there?
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?Roberts_Clif wrote: ↑July 27th, 2022, 7:38 pm I have flashed most versions of Marlin 1.x.x thru Marlin 2.0.9.2 had a minor problems using Marlin 2.0.9.3 so reverted to 2.0.9.2 on my Hictops.

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...
