A reunion is always possible… I’m fascinated by your 3-D printing. It reminds me of a video game I’m obsessed with. I have a time-lapse setting on my Go-Pro but haven’t had an opportunity to use it. We’re in Skiathos at the moment and I’m having fun taking aeroplane pics in ‘Burst Mode’ and video capture. I’ll let you know when I post.
Nozzle and bed temperatures depend on the type of filaments you use. For PLA, 210c for nozzle and 65c for the bed work well for me. But do a temp tower to be sure. The nozzle must not scrape the bed. Level it with a piece of paper between the bed and the nozzle. The paper should rub against the nozzle but still move.
@@skelligringphotographyandw7012 yes I realised an hour or as ago that I was printing with ABS with PLA settings🤦. And I figured out the bed levelling. However the screen says: THERMAL RUNAWAY: Bed PRINTER HALTED Please reset. I had the bed at 105 and nozzle at 245. The ABS default on the slicing software? Edit: the bed temp was dropping by a few degrees
@@MrCameron8841 A thermal runway is when the heating elements for the bed or the nozzle may be faulty. You may need to change the thermistor (check other RUclips videos for that help). But it might also need a PID tuning (also check RUclips).
There are two screws in a collar at the bottom of the rod. Loosen them to make sure that the rod is pushed firmly to the bottom of the collar. Then tighten both of those screws against the rod.
1. You need a software program called a slicer. I use Cura. 2. Then find a file called an STL file on Thingiverse, and put it in the slicer. 3. Turn this into a gcode file and put that into the printer, on the SD card. 4. Go to the printer menu and find 'print from media'. 5. You can print straight from the SD card that came with the Voxelab printer, as they are already sliced to .gcode files.
@@MrCameron8841 The Voxelab .gcode files are in the micro SD card that you get with the printer. You can print straight from those, assuming you have set the bed and nozzle temperatures correctly for the filament. Other STL files need to be 'sliced' in Cura (for example) and turned into .gcode files before printing.

Nice! It’s very useful
Great to. hear!
Wonderful! Now..make a Bad Rabbit😉
Only if they reform!

That'll be a useful tool for your railroad!
I've only had it 2 days and I've already made a boat for the water area, Mitch! tinyurl.com/3pxvn97f
I have the same printer. What nozzle and bed temps did you use? Did the nozzle scrape the bed on the first layer?

@@MrCameron8841 The bed temp is TOO HIGH. Try 65c max.
Do you have any tips for securing the t-shaped screw rod in the back? We installed it but its not secure and it moves down by itself.

How do I print it
1. You need a software program called a slicer. I use Cura.
2. Then find a file called an STL file on Thingiverse, and put it in the slicer.
3. Turn this into a gcode file and put that into the printer, on the SD card.

@@skelligringphotographyandw7012 I couldn’t find the voxelab stuff on cura ? I can’t print anything
