- | In late 2010 VHS members crowdsourced $1800 in 18 hours and collectively purchased a Makerbot 3D printer and buttloads of ABS filament in a rainbow of colours. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In late 2011, the Extruder on the 'bot was upgraded to the StepStruder. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Makerbot is available for anyone to use on "Open Tuesday" | + | |
- | + | ||
- | If YOU want to print on the VHS MakerBot, here are a few things you may want/ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ReplicatorG software | + | |
- | + | ||
- | You may need to install the FTDI drivers for your OS so your computer will recognize the Makerbot when plugged in via USB. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Select your serial port under the Machine->" | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Under the Machine-> | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Only re-calibrate the printer if the first layer looks incorrect. See bellow for directions on re-calibration. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | NEVER leave the printer running unattended. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ====== Recalibration ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The z-axis is the most critical part of a good print. If it's too high or too low the print will not work well or may even damage the machine. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | To do manual tweeking of the z-axis, under Machine-> | + | |
- | + | ||
- | If the print is not adhearing to the table or does not look fully filled as in there are spaces between the filaments, you need to lower the z-axis a little (Increase the value of the z-axis). | + | |
- | On the other end of things, if the head is either having troubles extruding the first layer or there is a lot of plastic pressing up around the nozzle to make little fins in the first layer, the head needs to be lifted some (decrease the value of the z-axis). Normally I'd adjust by 0.2mm at a time til it was printing nearly flat across the top. | ||

- | ====== Temperature ====== | + | [[area: |
- | The new hot-end installed mid-May no longer has any issue with going hotter than 235C (There is no PTFE). This does not mean you should ever pint hotter than that as ABS starts | + | |
- | Normal ABS prints should be between 220-235C. The colour does make a difference; coloured filament tends to be higher temperature. I suggest 225 for most prints unless you're printing very fast where 230 or 235 is necessary. | + | [[area: |
- | For PLA, 180C is suggested as a starting point. Speed of prints comes into play as well and I've gone as high as 220C on very high speed prints on Andrew' | + | [[area: |
