very worthy.

I would suggest making the wings and perhaps the antennae as separate parts and inserting them after.

This way you could print them flat to the bed at high speed and add more detail to make them look finer. You could also use a different filament colour or perhaps even a flexible filament.

You could make clip on stripes, eyes and stingers!

@silvan2468 the multiplier which Mike highlighted in his screenshot is correct.

Below are the translations I see, is there a better description?

English / Deutsch

Filament Ø / filament Ø
Flow rate / filament-multiplikator
Feed Rate multiplier / vorschub-multiplikator

Filament Ø = Filament Diameter, this should be a careful measurement of th…[Read more]

We have a lot of staff in and out right now due to school summer holidays. Typical response times have gone up. We expect to back at 15 mins response time by the middle of today.

@robwlakes some items are not sold publicly because we don’t want people accidentally breaking things during installation. With the advice of the support team we can provide a much bigger range of parts. The link for support is in my forum signature.

Shrinkage is hard to predict in 3D printing. A dense mass of material will shrink more agressively than a thin wall or protrusion, keeping all the parts of your design a similar density will help.

With ABS:

Keep the door closed and the ambient temperature high.
Keep the print surface clean, ABS will leave some residue. After a few hundred…[Read more]

@chrraj00 you can resolve this very easily by contacting support and providing your serial number. There was an invisible issue around serial numbers which has been resolved in the new software. Sorry for the inconvienience, it should only happen once. Link to support is in my forum signature.

If it is only behaving that way with the one reel then it may be a filament size issue.

Do you have some callipers to measure the diameter? Please check 2 cross sections (measure then rotate 90° to measure again) at 1metre intervals for about 5metres.

It should be within ±0.05mm of 1.75mm but even a little outside this should feed ok.

Other po…[Read more]

This is not currently planned but we are working on a big update so it might be possible. Forum users Click and Nebbian have created several tools for working within and around AutoMaker I’m sure they will have some ideas about this.

@blaser please send your serial number to the support team via a support ticket. http://www.cel-robox.com/support/

SingleX is plug n play. It uses retraction.

Typically it is a broken project, Deleting or Renaming the Document/CEL Robox/Projects folder can get it started in many cases.

A clean install will also get rid of a lot of startup problems.

SD card errors will give strange behaviour. Missing/corrupt data. Similar to a failing hard drive in a computer.

Root not being found might be an error in the upgrade, we have fixed some problems with this. Make a ticket if you get stuck.

If the bottom of a Nylon print is a little brown it is most likely the resin from the ThermoSurface peeling off. I print a lot of Nylon and have barely any resin left on the build plate. It still works great 🙂

Try shiny side for nylon or use some inferior system such as tape to protect the build plate, Nylon adhesion is extremely high and it…[Read more]

you can use the buttons in automaker to drive all the motors. when you resume the printer will return to the place where it left off.

I am not sure if movements entered in the gcode entry box would still allow this but it is a reasonable request. ill put it on the list.

Several new staff are starting now and will pick up the pace for manufacturing.

We had no intention of over-reaching on this product, we will keep changing it as required to make sure every batch as as good as possible. We have been making 5 at a time and are about to increase batch size following some improvements to the parts and to our…[Read more]

Yes the Z-hop can be made available in the coming updates

@fprint we are working on new features, ironing might be on of them. Priority will be given to support generation and dual material specific features but it is likely that there will be a lot more once we get the major stuff in place. Speed and quality first.

Yeah just crank it up with TitanX, if you notice lack of extrusion or distortions around corners bring it back a bit. 160% is totally fine with TitanX in my experience.

When the difference in an eight hour print is a few hours it is worth a few flaws 🙂

If you increase speed you start to push the extruder to the edge and the heater needs to keep up.

For most materials this is fine but some are hard to feed or require more heat energy to turn to liquid in the time available as it passes through the hot parts of the head and nozzle.

The motion systems have acceleration/acceleration which copes…[Read more]

@jgbrewsterdstl-gov-uk have you had good results since you received the replacement head?

Please ask for help if you are seeing consistent failures or flaws as the support we offer will also increase the lifetime of the hardware.

The absolute worst thing you can do for your head using the available controls is increase flow beyond the available…[Read more]
