3D Printing Forum

I would start with Free Slicers they are many and the top Free Slicers are direct competition for paid slicers After a while when you get to the point where you find you have a better knowledge of there operations then think Paid slicer. You may find that 3D Printing is more frustrating than you can...

Looking at at your test XYZ cube it appears to not be square.

On the aspect of power, I run my house off a 4800 watt pure sine wave inverter, which is generally far more reliable and a better power source for electronics than our grid, however cycles with the fridge and freezer, as well as other loads, sometimes bog or surge the power a little bit. Will this ...

Hello an Welcome to the Forum

As far as known there is no way to upgrade memory on Hictop controllers.

There may be an alternative by changing to a controller that has expanded memory.

I too am at a loss!

Though if as you said the stepper is clicking, what is the temp, did hot-end cooling fan increase in speed.
Is build plate area enclosed too keep breeze from blowing across part.
Is the hot-end stepper motor getting overheated.

Lez0 Post the G-Code This is crazy, it could be caused by Z-Height tension, or better yet this could be caused by corrupted configuration. I would try to reinitialize 3D Printers firmware or examine the sliced G-Code produced for some sort of corruption. Could be also caused by a defective or corrup...

Owning three Hic-top 3D Printers I know much about maintenance required to keep them running.

I have no problem with my Cartesian printers, though if I have too do it all over again would think seriously about CoreXY.

Do not misunderstand me, really like my machines to work also.
Though really learn more when they misbehavior a little once in a while...

I would not get rid of the filament yet, instead purchase a new roll to see it the problem continues on new filament roll,

I am more curious as to why the old filament didn't stick as the roll was almost done.

I would really like to know why myself, as the forum is for learning this innovative new hobby.

I would also check to see if infill/perimeters overlap by 25%
