After more than 4 yrs of owning a K40 laser I’m finally starting a different maker journey by adding a 3D printer to my tool kit. Knowing all the great 3D printing makers on this forum has given the confidence to take on this challenge. My 3D printer of choice to start with is a Geeetech A10. Th…

Installed the TMC2209s and installed a nice custom firmware for the A10. [image] TMC2209 Driver Upgrades to a Geeetech A10 3D Printing Upgrading my new Geeetech A10 printer to use TMC2209 drivers in place of the A4988 drivers to make the printer quieter. I could have use…

Been slowly working on calibrating the printer and playing with parameters. Installed a 4mm glass bed and everything is flat and level. I’ve been going by this site that @HalfNormal pointed out [image] Great all in one 3D printer calibration and tuner tools for beginners and expe…

Depending on the brand of pla it’s usually between 200 and 210 for a decent print. I have not personally been able to replicate his Bridges as I end up with something akin to what you get. Unfortunately cooling is a two-way street. Sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s not and it all depends on th…

Ok glad to know it’s not just me. I suspected there might be something with the way his slicer is setting up the print. He provides the .stl file for the tower but then I would need to figure out how to change temp as a function of print height in Prussia slicer :crazy_face:. Sooo many things to lea…

First: I don’t concentrate on temperature towers because one of the things I enjoy is working out how to avoid most need for bridges in my designs. When I am designing functional parts, the strength from additional layer adhesion from printing towards the upper end of the range is usually a win for …

Got Linear Advance enabled in the firmware [image] and determined the K value for my filament. Linear Advance Nozzle pressure control to improve print quality Much sharper corners now. [File_000 (40)] Feel I got the printer tuned pretty good for now. Now …

[image] NedMan: Just had to do a bit of clean up with a hobby knife and mini file. That reminds me… I do you have a deburring tool? I waited too long after reading lots of “this changed my life” comments — $12 or so, and you’ll thank yourself the first time you use it, if you are anything lik…

Huh, no I do not have a deburring tool. I’ve seen them for metal use when people are doing lathe work but I hadn’t thought of that for plastic too. Thanks for the tip :smiley:

Oh, the ones I’m thinking of aren’t the ones I think of for lathe work. I’m thinking of the swivel-head curved blade units like this: [image] Kobalt Deburring Tool Lowes.com Shop kobalt deburring tool in the plumbing wrenches & specialty tools section of Lowes.com …

Ok, yeah that’s the type I was thinking of actually. I meant mill not lathe. :slight_smile:
