First print in the books. Everything was going so well until the end there… not exactly sure what caused the shift as I was not immediately in the area at the time. Will have to check out why. Other than that, I’m really impressed with how nice of a print I’m getting on my first attempt!
Thanks to everyone here who has asked questions and also those who have helped answer mine. Special thanks to @Eclsnowman and @Dennis_P for their generous help with printed parts when my initial parts were cracking and failing on me.
Looking forward to continued improvements and tweaking!
@SirGeekALot yes quite a few times before attempting pushing plastic. I thought perhaps that was it as well, but I’m seeing it with the benchy I’m currently printing, but not hearing any noises from binding.
@SirGeekALot nope, they’re just warm. Driver chips are a little hot, but not too bad and are pretty open to air right now. I have noticed that all my shifting is relegated to the X axis, so that kinda helps! I went back and ensured all pulleys are tightened up. Trying to decide what is next, I’ve got a little binding in both axes when pushing my carriage around which is a big disappointing since I thought I was done with all of that. Might need to run around and adjust the bottom two rods again
