A more rigid Z-axis is on the todo, as i'm already using 10mm rod there, just need to space the linear bearings further.Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 15:47:01 2017 No.1272933Īpple sign instructions are up for the anon who was looking into how to make one of these.Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 15:50:55 2017 No.1272936 The idea is that the leadscrew would be as centered as possible since it's part of the rotor. I should have sanded it down more :(Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 12:54:45 2017 No.1272846 I would try using more or better (tighter fit) linear guides to fix the wobble.Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 12:21:45 2017 No.1272831Īnd so did my christmas tree ornament design. Lead screws won't fix your wobble unless you have wobble in one direction, in which case three leadscrews in a triangle could fix it. It shows how Prusa Reseach has definitely done their research, because they use the same type of integrated leadscrew steppers, just with an 8mm pitch instead of the 2mm ones i ordered.Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 11:51:09 2017 No.1272816 Even a 0.5 degree tilt on that end translates to a few millimeters offset at the top end. Big mistake! Never use rigid couplings on a 3d printer - due to the way you use a set screw or clamp it down, the act of tightening it always misaligns it very slightly. This is with the Z-axis supposedly decoupled mind you - the nut was rocking on its X axis in addition to moving around on XY, twisting the x-axis ever so slightly.Īnyway, since the kink is at the very top of the screw, i figured i could use a rigid coupling and just leave the top unconstrained. While it did decrease some of the wobble, the leadscrew had a slight kink which made it move off-center by ~0.2mm, introducing wobble through the flexible beam coupler at the bottom.

I actually printed a pair of long bushings out of PLA that fit the dimensions of the leadscrew exactly, leaving it without any play. Ps, if you try that, skateboard bearings won’t fit, I tried.Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 11:51:02 2017 No.1272815 Yay my stopgap x-carriage made it in the picĬurrently trying to fix Z now, has anybody here used integrated leadscrew motors? They're not very cheap, but i've ordered a pair in the hopes of fixing Z-wobble and eliminating the need for a coupler.Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 11:31:27 2017 No.1272810ĭid you consider some ball bearings on the top to try to cut down on wobbling? There is a shitty Chinese manufacturer called Inland that makes a more opaque natural filament.Īnonymous Sat Nov 4 22:02:06 2017 No.1272450Īnonymous Sun Nov 5 09:38:46 2017 No.1272781 Typically I would recommend 3D Solutech, but their good quality filament is actually a detriment in this situation.

Note though that those diffusers are not colored filament, but completely clear/opaque. I got my printer working last week so I'll probably try this as soon as I get some decent-colored filament.Īnonymous Sat Nov 4 20:39:27 2017 No.1272411 Everything else is negligible.Īnonymous Sat Nov 4 20:00:08 2017 No.1272392Īwesome, thanks anon. The diffusion seems to be a function of diffuser thickness and distance away from the LED. I experimented with sanding and all it really does is make the diffusers look somewhat dirty. Hopefully by next week I should have a guide posted on instructibles. Natural (clear) PLA placed in front of LEDs that act as diffusers. >How's it made, just 3d-printed diffusers in front of LEDs? And what material are the diffusers made out of?Ĭorrect. >filament type, bed & extruder temp, print & fan speed, etc >Īnonymous Sat Nov 4 18:31:35 2017 No.1272350 >what programs do you make your own files withīegin with a roll of known brand PLA before moving to more demanding materials.

>why do my prints look like shit, visual troubleshooting
