Re: cura not slicing

I think that your mask thickness should be thick enough to actually print. If you have a nozzle size of .4mm then the smallest thickness you can expect to print would be .24mm correct. The larger extrusion width produces more stable, faster printed models. The smaller extrusion width produces slow p...

Re: Ender 3 Pro Or Any Brand Inconsistent Z Axes / Home

That is so correct every thing seems to be a double edge sword. My 3D Printers had so many problems, direct form the factory. Undersize wiring causing most of the problems. Cheap proximity sensors making leveling next to impossible. Cheap all thread lead-screws which made artifacts on all models, th...

Re: cura not slicing

I downloaded your stl file could not get any of my slicers to see a model thick enough to slice correctly.

Re: Ender 3 Pro Or Any Brand Inconsistent Z Axes / Home

You may need to adjust your stepper motor Vref, this is the stepper motor current adjustments . The stepper motor current adjustment or V-Ref setting, is something that most 3D Printer users have had to learn. What you need to know before making this adjustment is DO NOT USE a metal adjustment tool....

Re: Ender 3 Pro Or Any Brand Inconsistent Z Axes / Home

When you adjust the Z-Step, there is a Store or Save settings option this will give illusion permanent memory. If you ever hit the load settings or initialize factory defaults the settings will again need to be set and saved. I kept a log book of my changed parameters of settings just in case of an ...

Re: Ender 3 Pro Or Any Brand Inconsistent Z Axes / Home

I had this problem on my Hictop 3D Printer determined that the Lead screws having a 8mm drop per turn was most of my problem. An until I changed I needed to turn on 3D Printer level bed and then 3D Print most days. Until I changed my lead screws with a TR8-2mm pitch single start lead screw. As any ...

Re: CAD design

Do not know. I think that because Fusion 360 Let me use there program for free, it belongs to both Fusion 360 an myself. I would have to read the Fusion 360 Free for Hobbyist Quoted from Fusion 360 Free for Hobbyist so I guess I own the rights. The problem with these personal use licenses is that it...

Re: Which 3D Printer and Software Should I Buy?

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...

Re: Tronxy crux 1 can't get past the 3rd layer

Looking at at your test XYZ cube it appears to not be square.
You will need to calibrate your stepper motors Here are a couple sites to help you

Re: 3D Printing in the (sub)tropics

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 ...

Re: Hictop Tenlog D3 pro RAM upgrade

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.

Re: Print quality suddenly gets worse

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.

Re: Print quality suddenly gets worse

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...
