Re: Bowden problem

You can buy dual drive Bondtech BMG clones for $20-$25 on AliExpress. I purchased two for under $40 a month ago and received them last week. They are a direct replacement for the inadequate extruders that came with the machine. I actually will be posting a little review shortly.

Re: Running out of things to replace on my A10M...

Another hour or two of troubleshooting. Swapped the entire E0 post hotend assembly (motor/extruder/FTFE tubes/couplers) for the E1 assembly and the same symptoms prevail. At this point I think I have pretty much eliminated any other possibility and I believe that the left side of the hotend (the sid...

Running out of things to replace on my A10M...

I own three 3d printers, the A10m being my latest. I like a lot about this printer and have gotten some great prints using the dual extrusion. This isn't meant to be a rant but I would like to get some real advice on how to get this thing working better. My A10M performs beautifully until I attempt ...

Re: New extruder A10M motor direction

FYI: I didn't futz around with the firmware or load the software mentioned/referenced in my OP to change the extruder directions. The wire pairs were as I thought, and I swapped one set per extruder motor to get them to reverse direction. Basically, it's a 6 pin/slot connection with no wires in the ...

New extruder A10M motor direction

I purchased some new extruders for my A10M that will require that the extruder stepper motors get reversed. I know you can alter the firmware to accommodate this but I would rather just re-pin the motor wires. IIRC you can flip the entire plug or just repin and swap one coil. My extruder motors are ...

Re: Layershiftig on y axis

If it isn't mechanical like you believe it might be then it's time to dive into settings. I had trouble with layer shifting in the y-axis when I began configuring my slicer software and fresh off of a firmware update. My issue was the acceleration and jerk numbers were really high. Once, I lowered t...
