Closer to a calibrated square but now have problems with Anubis hotend. PLA oozes out above the nut and eventually above the heater. Then Bowden tube blew off top of extruder. Checking manually anubis seems completely jammed up.
Maybe PID is not heating fast enough? This purple PLA needs 195 to flow decently. Heater was set to 196 and still it messed up.
Measurement on the cube 25 x 23.3. Didn’t finish so no Z point data.
It certainly sounds like a temperature control problem. Let your extruder heat up and measure its temp manually with another instrument.
Wait… If you are oozing from those places then your hot-end is not properly sealed :-/
Mechanically I would expect the filament to slip or the stepper to lose steps - even if your hot end was extremely under temp…
How is the hotend assembled? Could it have a very loosely-cut thread? Need some PTFE tape perhaps?
On the RepRapPro Mendel they recommend heating the hot end with a blowtorch JUST before final tightening, as the heat can expand the metal parts and pull them apart enough to leave gaps (resulting in plastic oozing above or below the heater block)
@Jarred_Baines yes the nut must be loose. Out of plumbers tape, on the list for tomorrow.
Hate to say it - but this is what happens with knockoff parts. The anubis is a copy of the Ubis hotend by Karl Ubis and @Brook_Drumm1 .
The Ubis hotend has really positive feedback from what I have heard. Lots of people having problems with the Anubis that I’ve heard of. My advise would be to just buy another hotend - I’m not sure there is an easy fix for these parts.
Looks like you got that jerky movement fixed. I miss what yo did tho.
