T8-8 vs T8-2 Lead-screws

Today's post is my opinion of the Z-Axis lead screws for use on Hictop Reprap Prusa i3 3D Printers. I have read what I believe is a lot of bad advise about what kind of lead screws to use. So this post starts with me putting my 2 cents in. It has been suggested to use a Z-Axis lead screw with the fo...

Re: Updating Stock HICTOP 3DP-11-ATL to Latest Marlin and Changing Bed Leveling Sensor

Had to work late.

I see that you have not enabled the Display

This display has to be enabled to work the stock display for Hictop
//#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER

Will look deeper When Not so Tried.

I have Marlin 1.1.5 working On my machines If you want It.

Re: over extrusion on first layer

AFAIK, based on the specs of these two printers, other than one shipping with an auto level sensor, they are the same. I do know they use the same extruder and print head. The fact is, they print with very different settings. Other than Blu with a 24V supply and T8-8 lead-screw (8mm pitch per turn)...

Re: over extrusion on first layer

Ok!

I had a problem like this once and found that the PTFE tubing in the throat had deformed.
If you have PTFE lined throats you may check that?

Re: over extrusion on first layer

I do not believe you need a new nozzle though nozzles are consumable parts and it never hurts to have them on hand. My printers temps for PLA vary from printer to printer. Red prints the PLA at 192C while Blu Prints between the same PLA at 198-202C. I have never been able to determine exactly why on...

Re: over extrusion on first layer

Infill should not be .3 with a layer height of .2. If I am not mistaken your Infill Layer Thickness should be the Same as or a multiple of the Layer Height, with a .4 nozzle. Example with a Layer height of .2 Infill Layer Thickness could be .2 (any more is beyond nozzle capacity) Example with a Laye...

Re: Hic 3DP-08 Marlin 1.1.0 RC8

The original Hictop threaded rod was a 8mm 1.25 threaded all-thread screw that does not fit snugly into the coupler. I placed a single wrap of thin electricians electrical tape around the bottom of the threaded rods then pressed them into the couplers, this allows the threaded rod to spin true not i...

Re: Hic 3DP-08 Marlin 1.1.0 RC8

Was thinking about upgrading my Hictops to E3D specs, could you upload your Configuration.h file, with any other information that may be useful.

Please

Have you tried the Cura settings. You can adjust them to meet your printers requirements.
