Still printing

 ...some parts for a second han solo blaster in high defintion. a 27 hours print...

hope that they are finished this evening...

pic will follow

the parts for the motivator that i wanted to print on the second printer don´t want to cooperate...no adhesion to the surface of the printing bed, even after several adjustments.

maybe it´s an error in the slicing process, too?

i have to figure that out!

Motivator

Today i tried to start the print of the first parts for my R2 unit's Motivator. 

But the first three layer of the raft filament went a little bit wrong. No really good adhesion to the magnetic bed made it almost impossible to get a correct raft.

It may be a bad adjustment of the bed, but after the third attempt of readjusting it plus making a higher temperature i stopped it.

3d Printer Issues

i had some severe issues with my ender 3 pro 3d printer.

the problem was, that the filament didn´t want to come out of the nozzle. the temperarure was on 200 degrees, but almost nothing came out. i checked it double, but everything was fine, there was no error on the display. 

the tubing for the filament wasn´t the best anymore, so i thought it would be best, to cut off a little bit of it. but again no filament. 

the metal gear for the transport was fine too, only some small abrasive areas on it. to minimize the source of errors, i mounted the gear a little bit higher to get a perfect filament transport to the nozzle.

but again no success.

at the end i found, that the nozzle didn´t get enough temperature and the filament couldn´t get out of it. the motor couldn´t transport it and the gear wasn´t strong enough too.

two completely new extruder kits with a new tubing were ordered, because my second printer had the same issues some days ago. 

after having replaced the complete unit, everything went fine again.

the printing can go on!
