Hey PrintAWorld, Thanks for the info! My price includes side covers, which are not included with a new printer from the Zortrax website. I bought the printer from Zortrax directly and not a reseller. I also am giving away my extra extruder/nozzle, and at least 6 rolls of filament of different typ…

Sure. If you want to pay for shipping, I can do that.

Shane, Sorry to hear you haven’t had good service from them! What went wrong? 3D Proshare has been really helpful to me. I drove my machine from California down to Arizona and they have technicians that know how to maintain the printer and clean the extruder and heat block really well. They also h…

The problem is with Z-Suite. When preparing a print, the rafting geometry will also add debris to certain corners of your part. The burn marks are always concentrated around 1-2 particular areas, whether it’s a flat surface, or a corner. If the burn marks were randomly placed, then it would make sen…

@James, You have the same burn problem issue? Okay. Sorry that is happening to you too, but it makes me feel better knowing it is out of my control. What’s strange about the burn mark, though, is that it is always in the same place! No matter where the face of the Marvin is orientated (towards the…

@James, Depressing the front plate (pinching it) did the trick! Thank you! I had to dissemble the front thumb screw to see how it works. Once I saw it was just a few pieces, I figured out how tightening and loosening would work if you depress the plate because it creates a gap for the thumb screw …

Hi @James, It is helpful to know there are two different types of burn marks. I turned the Marvin to face the fan and I still got the same burn mark in the top-left corner of Marvin’s face. The Print Settings are: 0.09mm, Infill Max, Support 0%, Fan 100 The burn mark is more noticeable when the …

Hi @James, The front thumb screw can turn freely. However, when turning the front thumb screw, the plate does not move up or down. [Edit] The Zortrax Support team are asking for me to make a video. Will let you know the results.
Thanks,

@James, I tried depressing plate while screwing and the screw just won’t budge. I think there’s something just not right with the thumb screw. The back two move just fine and when I manually calibrate with a business card, I can see the resistance increased or decreased when I tighten or loosen the…
-
@James, Sounds like a good fix. I will try your method during auto-calibration - thanks for all your help and suggestions! On a side note, do you know if the direction the parts are facing has an impact on how they will turn out? For instance, when I try to print the Marvin’s, if they face the fro…

@James, During auto-calibration, the Rear-Left and Rear-Right calibration wheels function correctly, and I can get them leveled perfectly, but the one in the front does not. I spent about 20 minutes turning it the direction the machine was asking me to turn and it and it hung on 0.23mm. I then trie…

Hi @James, Good advice on moving the part to another part of the bed! I’ll try and get the bed level, but it is incredibly finicky when leveling. I have cleaned the top of the perforated plate and opened it up to clean the insides. It looks like the perforated holes have been filled with filament,…
-
Hi @James, Thanks for file. I will try it out once I get the correct settings for my marvin. I’ve gotten some good advice that printing with the least amount of rafting is best. When you have overhangs, is the rafting needed, or it just up to the fan to cool the plastic fast enough? I’ve read pri…
-
Hi @Perry_1, That makes sense, thanks! I have been recently testing the Marvin stl with various settings to try and get a good quality print. If the layer height is set to 0.09mm and a maximum infill, then wouldn’t printing the raft be overkill since the model is being printed with a high degree o…
-
@shahramrobotics, oh, right… haha… that makes sense. Thanks.
-
Thanks for the comment @shahramrobotics You’re saying that the distance between the model and the raft should be proportional to half the model’s height, so would there be a layer of space or just extra support material?
-
Wow! Thank you everyone for the quick responses. You guys are truly awesome. I am defintely feeling better now.
The strip is just LED lights. Cool. -
@federico3, on a side note, the serial number is located on the back, but I am not sure which number it is. Is it the one under the bar code on the back of the machine?
-
HI @federico3, Yeah, I’m trying to get a hold of them now. Thank you for confirming.
