Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I did a thorough check of the printers construction today and found the problem. The gear on the Z stepper was slightly loose. I must have missed the flat spot on the shaft. After a good bit of recalibration (screw problem fixed) print quality improved greatly, however the steppers still get pretty ...

Ok, so I just finished putting together the max a few days ago and had pretty good results with the the first few prints. I am using mattercontrol and everthing is set just as the directions say. I noticed that I was having some major bed adhesion problems especially with the loops around the print ...

Words of wisdom:)

After the trouble that I've had with it today I completely agree....

Ok, time for me to give y'all some actual information: My belts are tensioned as per the directions, if y'all have any way to put a numerical value to it I'll adjust accordingly. I went back and and found a video on calibration. It was immensely helpful, as I didn't know that I had to calibrate the ...

Well how can I diagnose mine?

Also I just noticed that it seems like my print bed is slightly bowed. It extrudes fine at the edges of the print but pinches off any filament towards the center. How can I fix that problem? Is there a way to account for a bow?

I just stopped another print because of the shifting problem. This is getting frustrating. I can't get it to repeat the problem, which leads me to believe that it is a software issue. I will try deleting and reinstalling mattercontrol.

Suggestions?

So an interesting issue has come up... I tried to print a small millennium falcon model earlier today and noticed that at about the fifth layer it shifted directly over away from the Z axis and continued the rest of the print above that. I also noticed that in the layers view of mattercontrol the ...

Could you elaborate more on the PET-G?

Each print is great, except for resolution. I think that it greatly needs a smaller nozzle.

Should I get a smaller nozzle for the seemecnc hot end or just go ahead and upgrade to the e3d v6?

Those mounts look awesome!

Hello, I finished building my max yesterday and printed out the peek and layer fan shrouds and a test/benchmark print (the owl). The max is stock except for astrosyn dampers. I want to optimize the printer now, and will need a bit of guidance doing so. I do have a bit of experience with the makerbot ...
