I 3d printed stuff last night and it worked great.  I scraped off the stuff on
the print bed and exposed the actual glass print bed!  it's still good except
there are a couple of serious craters.  Not sure what to do about the craters,
perhaps fill them in with caulk?  Silicone caulk sticks to glass.

If anyone wants to 3D print something please let me know and i'll show you what
i've learned about doing it.

i remember that there was a bug where you couldn't put the temperature command
into the gcode on the SDcard, or the machine would heat up but then just hang
(which is terrible and clogs the nozzle and fills the space with the smell of
burning plastic)

i don't know if that bug exists in the firmware i downloaded and put in the
machine.

also i hate the little LCD and knob interface, and i think computers should
have a keyboard and ssh server...

i look forward to installing octoprint on the computer there, so that people
can use their own laptop to drive the printer through their browser, and even
watch it through a webcam.

also without a computer how are you supposed to tweak and jog the machine?
through the LCD and knob thing?  no thanks.

I can't wait to see people printing with it!

Jake I have printed 100% of the time from that machine from SD card with excellent results after minor setting tweaks.  Sorry if you have not had good luck.  Does the new firmware disable this feature or make it more difficult?

Either way thank you for putting in the time to fix it and I'll happily use either method going forward.

I uploaded the correct firmware to the machine (it was running firmware for a
machine with different physical attributes) and now it seems to print fine.

I didn't have the time to properly prepare the bed though, so there was some
non-adhesion, but the giant spool of filament is hooked up and it's ready to
go.

cura-lulzbot slicer is installed on the computer there, and "sudoroom white
ABS" filament is defined and should work.  Pronterface (red icon) is the
program to use to drive the printer and run the gcode generated by cura.

don't do the SD card thing, it won't work and is terrible.

ideas?

that's great that you got it working! which filament were you using? we
have a
large spool of white ABS but the spool came apart.  if we fix the spool and
dust it off, it's still good.

the hard part of using big spools of filament is making sure that the
printer
has a straight path to pull from the spool, and the spool can rotate
freely.
i can help with this on Tuesday.  we already have so much filament, i don't
want to buy more yet.

Jake,

I actually just got it working. I figured I’d just download the slicer
and slice it on my computer and load it up to the SD card. I started a
print but the filament snapped. I guessed that’d happen like it did with my
other old filaments. It’s just something that happens. Want to go in on
some filament or IDRK? How should we go about that? I mainly have 1.75 at
my home.

Jake,

Hello, thanks for the replay. I do have experience with stuff like that.
I actually have experience with stuff like that. I have my own shitty
printer that’s a Tevo Tarantula; that one runs on Marlin (I think I
recently uploaded 1.1.4). I’m still upgrading it though mechanically. I
usually use Cura 3.1.0 for my slicer and have the usual Tarantula slicer
for that. I also previously had an Anet A8 but that one was breaking down
so often I ended up getting the Tarantula and sold my old one to a friend.
I’ve heard different things about it including that it’s still broken or
it’s fixed. Use the computer with a direct link instead of using the SD
card. I was just looking for some kind of clarification. What kind of
software you guys use to slice and all that good stuff.

Thanks again,
Paul Orozco

Hi Paul,

i'm happy to report that the nozzle heater resistor was recently
replaced, so
as far as i know there is nothing wrong with the printer except that it
hasn't
been used in a long time, so there's probably a lot of dust on the
filament and
the print bed, and maybe the nozzle is clogged.

do you have experience using a 3D printer like ours, which is a TAZ 3
running
Marlin firmware?  I'm guessing it will take a little bit of fiddling to
get the
first prints to come out well.

I'll be hosting Hardware Hacking Tuesday this week at 7PM and you're
welcome to
come then and try to use the 3D printer.  I can help a little bit while
you're
working on it, and there may be others who can help as well.

Hello everyone,

I'm a little new and I'm just wondering what's the status of the 3D
Printer
over here. I've heard it's broken right now, so I'm wondering what it'll
take to fix it and be able to use it.
