Well it can use repg sailfish and I use makerbot as well. I’ve tried Google but not much on it. Maybe you can’t do it.

Hi, after fixing a few important things about this printer, I’d come up with an idea! Since up grading to sailfish 7.7 the start and finish sounds have changed and was wondering if there’s a way of changing this myself with code or program to my own. Any ideas? Thank you

Just got some today, for measuring the filament its around 1.8, 1.7. I’ve managed now to setup a pi with octoprint and enter in a command to feed through 100mm and then re measure what was left, the only thing now is where can I find the extruder feeding steps setting under makerware and or rep g, b…

Hiya Now that I’ve fixed the printing circles like ovals I’ve tried printing "print in one’ designs like the nasal wrench etc., but still getting movable parts fusing together. Now I believe I need to calibrate my feeder due to over extruding. I need to know how I can cold feed a certain amount of f…

I thought to strip one end down of the printer to see what state the rods were in and sure enough Chinese special bad workmanship came to light. The carriage rods gears were not aligned so moved them to be perfect where the belts now move perpendicular with each other ive levelled out the washers so…

Hi, I’ve check this and it is all tight Any other problems?

You may be right, ive looked at the left to right metal bars and the both look bent in the middle a tad, also the back one move a fair bit left to right when moved by hand looks like they are not fully in right on the bearings, ive removed the tensioner springs already and belts are OK not overly ti…

Hello great minds! I have the dual CTC printer and im wanting to know why I’m getting Oval circles instead of perfect ones, so my supposedly all in one movable designs like spanners and gears etc fuse together thus not moving and the circles being Oval. Ive printed a circle and the 20+20mm test cube…

hiya thanks for the help, so at the moment I am just running a single nozzle due to my other one damaged (waiting on new one as backup), I have a sheet of glass which is 2 or 3 mm bigger than the standard ctc dual bed which is 230mm x 150mm, I only would like to have the bed (let me get this straigh…

Hello, I’ve been printing with the ctc dual for some time now with abs and play, but I’ve ordered some flexi filament and would like to print a shoe of some sort but I have big feet and looks like my print bed is 5 to 10 mm too short diagonally to do it. Question is can I get a bigger build plate if…

Hi ctc ers, I have been using my ctc printer for 45 hours in total now and I’ve been getting problems, when preheating for a print or filament feeding it goes to a round 225oC and fluctuates between this and 2 or 3 degrees lower so never gets to the target temp. I’ve bought a wanhao heater cartridge…
