Recently I have read a lot about this feature of Marlin, Linear Advance, so I am going to show you what I have learnt some days ago.
What linear advance is?
Is a very interesting feature of Marlin, that maintain constant the pressure inside the nozzle.
Ok, and what is the meaning of that?
As the pressure is constant, the change of speed during the printing does not affect to the quality of it, so the critical areas are pinted better. You will see a huge difference, specially on the corners.
Another good thing, is that you have well configured this feature, the jerk is not important if you use Marlin 1.1.x, and you can print faster withour loosing quality on your prints.
The last advantage is that the dimensional accuracy is increased a lot. Continue reading
Currently we are out of home the most part of the time, and I became to investigate how to control the printer remotely, and the best option for me is Octoprint.
What do I need?
The first thing is to have an internet connection at home 🙂
Another thing that you need id aRaspberry Pi, because we will install Octoprint on it, another good thing is to buy a camera to receive visual information from the printer. Continue reading
I think that this is an essential improvement, because is a two in one improvement. You have a more stable x axis structure, and you change the stock carriage.
You can download the STL files here, and has been made by a partner on Anet E-10 telegram group. He takes in consideration all our suggestions, one example, is to design the right holder with holes, that is very useful if you have a dipstick longer than the recommended one.
You can see the result here:
To mount this improvement on your printer you need:
8 mm dispticks with a length of 334 mm (I had dipsticks of 355 mm)
Igus linear rods, this kind of rods have two advantages comparing with ball bearing rods, the first one is the noise and the second one is that Igus rods are self lubricated.
Today I am going to show you a new improvement for Anet E-10, Bondtech BMG extruder.
I bought the extruder on a massive purchase orgnised by SpainLabs with the collaboration of 3dfilamento.es.
The purchase
This was the first time that I participated on a masive purchase, and I love this way of buying.
The process was very easy, you must sign on on the purchase forum and after that a discount coupon were sent to the people that signed on.
Juan from 3filamento.es is a very kind person and it was a pleasure treating with him.
The package arrived to Madrid two days before than the expected delivery date, but due to the transport company the delivery was not made on the day that is supposed to be. Continue reading
