Partially Solved 1st level and ledding, checking, LED modding

So measuring the diameter is not how you know. You need to either count the TPI (threads per inch) or if you have a 5/16" nut or an 8mm nut to try and see which threads onto the rod.

 

How to measure that? Lets play simpler and metric: I wanna refute 5/16 rod. I have metric ruler, what digit I'm gonna find or not?

 

ok...so take your metric ruler and put it next to the rod and count how many threads are in 25.4 mm or 2.54 cm...if it is 20 then you have 8mm rods, if not then they are 5/16".

 

i count 18 rods

 

that is a 5/16" coarse threaded rod my friend

 

OK, that's it! Now i just need to know what its nominal metric lead

 

we find that! 5/16

maybe you know what its lead? to 1 round

 

Nominal Size
Major Diameter
Threads/inch
Basic Pitch Diameter
Minor Diameter
Lead Angle
at Basic Pitch Diameter
Height of Fundamental Triangle
Tensile Stress Area

I don' know how from these get lead per 1 round.. When I seek for upgrade lead screws there will be written just "lead 4mm" and i knew what we are talking about. Now I'm not

 

I wanna find exactly lead number for that screw

I need manual change zero level to settle best bed Zero level. I wanna take screw thread in my hand left or right hand, and turn them by 5-25 (any) degrees, or whatewer i count to be the best for me, not changing software to have then the best

and then write it to remember

 

OK, Thanks. Found that in that wiki

Now i'll manual levelling as a nuclear engineer!

 

I do software leveling wrong, once I changed one digit and nuts got out of grooves, was fun

What there gonna be set if i want to make offset (want printer to print -0,05 from z-home) 0,05mm lower?

http://prntscr.com/cpsdg6

mattercontrol settings

Seems I found bed level in corners, and it's about normal, but adhesion not well.. So maybe somebody help with link video/photo on software mattercontrol Z offset setting? Manual leveling screw can't help me to find this 0,05 anymore

Thank you

 

MatterControl handles this a different way then in a Starting Script like most Slicers, so to answer your question I believe you need to decrease that number to 0.75mm. But do not quote me on that, a simple test will give you your definite answer.

Otherwise do like the screenshot I attached and put the M565 in the Starting Script:

In the Starting Script, to move the extruder 0.05mm closer to the bed you would change the M565 Z-0.8 to M565 Z-0.75.

More negative means the extruder is further away from the bed.

This can be confusing for anyone using MatterControl. Someone else may have a better way to explain it.

 

Now i don have offset at all

Try to do as you explain, when family got asleep

 

Well thanks all! I'm just on the way to solve it! And had several 'almost good' prints. And I've decided to make video of these troubles.

I think it's about my nozzle defective or firmware translation/setting problem

1. Typical 'snot' case


2. Almost good printing but as a miracle - it stinks to nozzle!

So maybe hairspray is bad, but i'm not about that mostly. Z-offset seems good

QQ:

How does it seem I do printing right way? Why printings looks so :not ideal:?

How i'm gonna clean the nozzle/hotend? Cloth or smth else? Can we make automation of nozzle cleaning?

And one more: I printed left smooth rod support http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:263141 and it's not good hold that. How d'you think maybe better to print another variant like this? http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:199407 or yet another

 

It almost looks like your Z-offset is too low. You could try some elmers glue stick to see if that works, since it doesn't seem to be sticking very well. Possibly try slowing it down and see if that helps

 

Thank you.

you mean paper glue stick? I can't find 'elmers' here, but can find the other producer (if you can tell please what its contents from chemicals). Problem is - i tried 0,15 offset (plus), but starting drob is big enough for sticking to the hotend surind 2nd passage. It seems too big

You think using washable sticking glue stick, drop will stick to the bed hard enough to stick to the hotend then?

And besides: all i do on the video - looks right way?
