  • I forget that I’m not always in the CTC printer bit. It’s a CTC Bizer Dual, about a year old. 146

  • I’m not sure what you mean, I took off a 12V (the original one) and replaced it using the same wires.

  • Haven’t had this issue before and spool is on the side (centre of the holder is attached to the top). Spool is where its pretty much always been, partly why I don’t understand this new issue.

  • Not tightly at all, both rolls are no less than 1/4th used

  • Hi do you have a link for the fan you have put in place to cool the print?

  • Ebay might not enforce a 1 year warranty but if you paid via Paypal or credit card they will usually open a case for you.

  • Was wondering what length I should be looking for as the wanhao site only has the fully external threaded ones?

  • Can anyone explain why ABS is printing fine and PLA is not? If it is a deformed PTFE tube then why does ABS get through and the PLA not? In the case of “pull your nozzle off” is there a way that this can be done without removing the printhead from the bars, taking off the fans and heatsink, removing…

  • It’s done 213hrs and have had it about 6/7 weeks

  • Pink PLA at 190c, 200c. Grey PLA 240c, Green ABS 240c [IMG_20160831_182417_HDR.jpg]

  • Not quite sure I get how to do that on the CTC.

  • Ok so, it was recently cleaned out and prints ABS perfectly fine at regular ABS temperatures. I have printed the block in green ABS very nicely before and after the grey and pink PLA blocks. As for lower temperatures working better I understand the theory however the better quality has been on the h…

  • Sounds like one for you to rope in a parent or guardian in for. Otherwise google about young entrepeneurs or contact HMRC.

  • I had a print that looked like that, was working fine and then went like the top of yours, turned out the nozzle was blocked. Unblocking wasn’t straight forward but its completing prints again. Perhaps also re-download the file and put it back through your slicer, it could be that the stl file is sl…

  • Have a look at this, https://all3dp.com/common-3d-printing-problems-and-their-solutions/ it has been really helpful for me. Re-level the bed using a piece of regular paper (you will be doing this countless times!) Bed leveling is under Utilities on the machine itself and it walks you through the pro…

  • Where is your box from and what size is it please? I have been wondering how to create something like this for a nominal cost to hopefully help with ABS warping. I have seen many guides and ideas to cheaply make front doors etc but nothing for the top.

  • Hi hope you are we posted in aother thread about the settings you need to write down so after you upgrade you can enter them… which settings are these? thank you

  • It was more that slic3r doesn’t do the recognising your printer thing that replicator and makerbot do, I’m not entirely convinced inputting the bed size and what I believe is the extruder offset would be enough for it to function correctly without doing the whole “I want to take your print head thro…

  • oh eeer ok…seems mine has been going up to 135 degrees or at least thats what the printer display had been saying and makebot… Also I have found ABS wil not stick to the glass and always fails to actual complete a print where as PLA is perfect now… on another not I have had some forum replies to my…

  • Another question to add to the one already asked here… Do I need to up my temps from printing and if so what is the max my printer will support? (CTC BIZER DUAL) 356

  • By high temperature tape do you mean a bit of Kapton? I’ve ordered another 2 glass plates so I can swap out for different purposes etc and would rather not mess with the kapton film that is on the original bed to access the screws and bolts that are in the corners. 158

  • I have found this in makerware - Axis home positions mm - x:152, y:72, z:0, a:0 b:0 Also - Toolhead offset settings um - [0]:34000um, [1]:0um, [2]:0um Are these what sailfish is referring to? 30

  • Printing onto blue painters with gluestick, this is changed fairly frequently. What speeds would you suggest for the 0.1mm layer height? 134

  • It is a CTC Dual printer with a heated bed that has been used at various temperatures. It was printing fine up until yesterday on the exact same filament and temperature settings. Have attached pictures so you can see the corners. I believe the gold coloured covering on the print bed is Kapton tape …

  • Thanks for your help, unscrewed the fans and dropped the left extruder by about 1.5mm. Levelled the bed and perfect. Found a video on youtube showing how…they made comment that the CTC people don’t expect you to want to use it as a dual extruding printer. Lol. Trying the two together today, I hope…

  • It has just been levelled as new tape was applied. The left seems significantly higher than the right. Right is default and the left hasn’t seen any use yet until today. Will post a photo shortly to show the difference in the heights. UPDATED Photos added. as can be seen there is also now a print…

  • It is a CTC Dual Printer (Replicator2/Makerbot clone). The bed has been levelled and with the right extruder works perfectly all over the bed. 49

  • What will changing to sailfish firmware actually give me??? still a little puzzled … and whats everyone using for printing/design software? Finally whats the best mods/etc to use? thank you to everyone who has replied and offered advise etc 682

  • Yes was on ebay…what hardware mods are you using? 191

  • hmmm your mod sounds good but would invalidate the warrentee so will have to wait 177
