Re: Help! Arms not moving parallel

Help! Arms not moving parallel

No matter how much I fine-tune the endstop screws, prints are continually turning out like this. It seems that the arms start out moving parallel and get gradually worse as the print goes on. Any input or tips would be greatly appreciated as I'm new to 3D printing and still have a massive amount to ...

Re: RTV getting on print, causing failures

So it looks like I need to take my hot end apart to check the PEEK. As far as calibration goes, is the layer shift issue something I should address with z-height/endstop tuning or is it a software settings problem? And is there any reason these problems don't show up until half way through the print ...

Re: RTV getting on print, causing failures

The name of the RTV is Permatex Ultra Copper sensor-safe High Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker.

It seems to coming from the gaps between the nozzle and the outer rim of the hotend.

RTV getting on print, causing failures

When I'm printing something the hot end will cause the RTV or something else to heat and turn into a gooey black substance. This substance gets in my prints which then interferes with the nozzle which causes failures. Has anyone else had this problem or know a way to fix it?

Extruder gears not moving

I can manually feed or retract filament while moving the gears, but when I press extrude or retract the gears do not turn at all. Do I have to change the direction of the motor in the firmware or is this a mechanical problem?
