[sudo-discuss] Sudo Room 3D Printer Questions

[Paul Orozco]

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.
