Prusa i3B
Prusa i3B
Hi!
Im curious...My prints have gone from quite OK to very good results with some tweaks.
Now that I try to print again a month later the prints are a total disaster with failures in layers adhesion, infill is crap and I have to abort after 1st layer
So I suspect I need to reflash the firmware again...why does it happens ?
This makes me wonder...
Why have settings in Firmware ( are they for stand alone prints from SD) ?
Why have settings in repetier host? (are they for prints from computer) does this overrides firmware in printer?
Then I use OctoPi on a Raspberry to remote control my printer from work (that also have configs for printer)... does this overrides printer firmware as well?
# sources for 3 configs - 3 different results?
Anyway - ill start over again - hoping to get it OK again.

I also measured the voltage for extruder-motor, it was a bit low and now I set it to 1.159 volts.
After new firmware and several tests it now seems the prints are fairly ok.
The extruder motor clicks every now and then... Do I up the voltage more?

You mean the A4988 voltage?If so,it is enough.UndCon wrote:I also measured the voltage for extruder-motor, it was a bit low and now I set it to 1.159 volts.

And,how did the clicking go?You have a broken A4988?

Yes I mean the driver A4988.
I'm going to order some spares.

Re: Prusa i3B
Finally something that looks ok again....I had to increase the voltage a bit more to stop klicking/missing steps
I do not want to risk measure at the moment as I have 2 hours left on this print ( I did shortcut yesterday, the printer made a reset in the middle of a print)
Here is the link to the print thats on the table atm.
