Oh my gosh @Guy_Bailey I’m super sorry!! I just realized I never sent you the link for the smooth rods!! Sorry about that!! But it’s looking really good!! Let me know if you have any questions along the way as I have just finished mine last week. Keep up the great work!
I may have to reprint the Z axis support. It appears that one of the bearing holes is tilted. When I lower it all the way down there is a 2mm gap on one side. The bearings are out of alignment in the pictures because I was trying to adjust it but I dont think that is going to work.
You also snapped the walls for the bearing holders on that one. Both sides it looks like.
Both happened during drilling out the holes. On this print all the holes were about 0.4mm too small. On the left it snapped about half way through. On the right it chipped the corner. It doesn’t appear that either will affect the bearing placement though.
@ThantiK is right. I did the same with mine (if you look back the x plate was green and was reprinted partly because I cracked the bearing holders. You might want to make it 100.1 or a little larger for scale.
When I reprint it I’ll try 100.1. It’s the z bearing holders that are my issue though. Both of them are offset to one direction.
Do you mean that they are tilted forward or another direction?
They are tilted, yes.
Both in the same direction to the side.
So do you feel that there is a layer shift as the print moves up?
If print a test cube and see if you are getting any tilt when printing that.
My calibrations cubes turn out fine. But they are only 20mm. I haven’t noticed any other prints shifting either. I’ll probably just slow down the print and scale it up a tiny bit when I try again.
Yeah sounds like a good idea. Just out of curiosity what infill are you printing at and what speed?
I think it was 40% infill and around 50mm/s (lots of speeds for different parts though) but not more than 60mm/s.
I’d run at around 30 and see how it goes. That might be your issue. Keep us posted!!
Ok. I’ll give that a shot. Thanks for all the suggestions.
The Y bearings are so tight that it causes the Z bearings to spread out like that.
That would explain it if they were both leaning away from the center but both are leaning in the same direction. and they aren’t tight anymore since I drilled them out. I can slide them in by hand pretty easily.
Sorry bout that, missed that part.
