No heat bed, but I thought lead screws and threaded rods were the same thing. I will check into it.
@Clever_Crafts both of these are very different things. check out this link
and post the picture of your rods
@The_Arduino_Guy_Hack Reprap has threaded rods. Are lead screws just better threaded rods?
yes and they improve the print quality drastically as i have both of them i can see the difference.
and also threaded rod have problems like z axis banding and woobling. these can only be eliminated by using lead screw.
@The_Arduino_Guy_Hack Thanks for the link. I understand now. That has been added to my (thankfully) short list.
no problem bro
Also, don’t print on tape
@Gary_Tolley_Grogyan Why not?
@Clever_Crafts because the adhesive of the tape is less as strong as the adhesion of the filament to the tape
@Gary_Tolley_Grogyan What should be used instead of the tape?
@Clever_Crafts try, clean glass, or BuildTak or even glue stick on glass though I have had mixed results with plain clean glass, and, and glue stick on glass.
Have since moved to LokBuild, similar to buildTak and use a raft/brim for the print
@Gary_Tolley_Grogyan I have tried LokBuild. It worked well.
Once if I want to print a big model, I will prefer glass as platform, to print pla without heat require, adding some glue on the glass, and nozzle just close and close to platform (4 corner) , no worry scratch the blue tape, no warp at all
That’s not why it curls
