Apr 5, 2019 at 11:02 AM - teknoprep: no matter what i do i can not get the z offset
Apr 5, 2019 at 11:02 AM - teknoprep: m851 z-4
Apr 5, 2019 at 11:02 AM - teknoprep: m500 .. then m503 .. shows the offset
Apr 5, 2019 at 11:02 AM - teknoprep: doesn't adjust inital height of my prints

 

Apr 5, 2019 11:02 PM - tonycstech: Does anybody know R1 motor torque specs ?

 

Apr 7, 2019 8:49 AM - mark tomlinson: Probably 30-ish nm of torque. You cna find the same physical size with more torque -- most of the ones I use for replacement have at least 60nm

 

Apr 9, 2019 11:31 AM - Johannbv: My R2 is printing about 10mm in the air above the print bed. Did the Z-offset reset several times over and still does it. Can anyone help?
Apr 9, 2019 11:36 AM - Geof: Have you cleaned the IR Sensor?
Apr 9, 2019 11:36 AM - Geof: Sounds like its triggering false showing the bed before it actually gets there
Apr 9, 2019 11:36 AM - Geof: may want to start up a trouble shooting thread in the R2 section
Apr 9, 2019 11:49 AM - Johannbv: I just posted the in the trouble shooting. However, I was printing from Octoprint and when I switched to printing off a USB it prints correctly..
Apr 9, 2019 12:21 PM - Geof: interesting. I'd assume either an octoprint issue or something in the start gcode in octoprint vs your slicer is wonky.

 

Apr 15, 2019 7:36 AM - teknoprep: hi all
Apr 15, 2019 7:37 AM - teknoprep: i updated to the latest community post with UBL and all that... works great except i can not define a z offset that ever takes effect
Apr 15, 2019 7:37 AM - teknoprep: i find that i need to raise my z 1.4mm higher than what UBL sets it to for the entire bed
Apr 15, 2019 7:37 AM - teknoprep: does anyone have any idea what i could do to get this to take effect ?
Apr 15, 2019 2:30 PM - mark tomlinson: Try a global Z offset in the slicer you are using

 

May 18, 2019 1:14 PM - Roger Worden: Is there a minimum nozzle size for the R1+ ? I got a near-instant jam with PLA at 0.2 and am wondering if there are any specified or practical limits.

 

May 19, 2019 8:20 AM - WheresWaldo: going from 0.4 to 0.2, you should at least halve the print speed, maybe even need to go as low as quarter the normal print speed.

 

May 29, 2019 11:28 AM - Dan: Anyone here?
May 29, 2019 8:38 PM - albert3d: From time to time

 

May 31, 2019 at 11:00 AM - Cosmin Buidan: Just purchased a R1+, and after instalation my prints stop after 1-2 layers
May 31, 2019 at 6:32 PM - albert3d: Might be a bad sd

 

Jun 2, 2019 5:33 PM - levoncio99: i upgraded to v6 everything then its gets clogged because tip came loose, tightend everything back up no getting MINTEMP error
Jun 2, 2019 5:48 PM - levoncio99: throwing this thing in the trash with a brand new e3d hotend
Jun 2, 2019 5:48 PM - levoncio99: buying another printer
Jun 2, 2019 8:06 PM - BrooklynBay: Check the connection on the heating element & thermistor.

 

Jun 22, 2019 7:25 AM - Larry E Elliott: R2 Cura software link not working. Can someone supply a working link to a download location. Thanks
Jun 22, 2019 2:19 PM - albert3d: Larry I posted the links in you thread

Sep 8, 2019 at 6:32 AM - tkoco: Opinions on using a 0.8 mm nozzle?
Sep 8, 2019 at 7:01 AM - mark tomlinson: With a volcano adapter that is the smallest I use
Sep 8, 2019 at 7:02 AM - mark tomlinson: Be careful without the volcano since you will need to have print speed cranked way down or you run the risk of staving the nozzle of plastic
Sep 8, 2019 at 7:02 AM - mark tomlinson: Remember the volcano adapter has 4x the size of the melt zone and 4x as much filament ready to push out
Sep 8, 2019 at 7:03 AM - mark tomlinson: I LOVE the volcano for larger models...
Sep 8, 2019 at 7:08 AM - tkoco: Is there a model of volcano hot-end which fits the R2 printer?

 

Sep 9, 2019 at 2:20 PM - Geof: Not without modification

 

Sep 10, 2019 at 1:37 AM - tkoco: What sort of modification? Software, hardware, both?
Sep 10, 2019 at 5:58 AM - albert3d: Search thingiverse and you will find what others have done to get an E3D hotend into the R2. There are some things to consider. One being the placement of the IR height sensor. Since the height of the volcano is different than the stock hex hotend, then you will need to move the IR sensor down so it triggers at the right height without jamming the nozzle into the bed first.
Sep 10, 2019 at 5:59 AM - albert3d: then there is the area of cooling fans and fan ducts that will need to be adjusted
Sep 10, 2019 at 5:59 AM - albert3d: I think that is what Geof meant about not without modifications

 

Sep 12, 2019 at 1:21 AM - Alvin Jacob: Hi, my printer is not switching on, can someone help me with this.

 

Sep 12, 2019 9:31 PM - tkoco: Questions like this one are best asked in the Troubleshooting area of the R2 forum. Messages posted on the Shoutbox are low priority and might not be answered for days.
