Nice sentiment  but Carl and Me He enjoy debating every topic!!!


Sorry about that. But I'm really glad you are considering try the tl-smoother out on your ultimate, that is my original intention.

Well I stand corrected then. Guess my 20 years as a tech with a 98% repair rate in a market where schematics are unheard of has all been a dream. The fact you used an iphone pretty much makes any experiment you did fact. So I will never doubt anything you say or post again.

I have no problem with you doubt everything I post, it is called critical thinking, very important property for anyone to become scientist. But when something we don't fully understood shows up, we design experiment to test it instead of conclude it is impossible. Actually when placebo effect first discovered, some people conclude it is impossible and others design double blind experiment to test it out.

I still can not confirm the tl-smoother improve print quality for the same reason, I can not experimentally reproduce it. But I still leave my mind open, the benefit may depend on machine, step driver, tl-smoother diode of choice.

I found something wired. my ultimate did not came with motor damper, all my MonoPrice Maker select v2 and plus came with motor damper. Did your ultimate came with motor damper? Just want to make sure mine is not taken by whoever open the box.

I think you meant weird and no the Ultimate maker does not come standard with these it is a popular and simple mod .it is recommended mod on the MP wiki for reducing noise. .

Yes, I meant weird. And thanks for the confirmation. It is still weird though, I thought it should be included on this high end model not the low end model.

one would think and there is no wifi option on this model either not that that is a big deal .

IIRC the dampers are not expensive or difficult to install

Heartless you forget he buys only what he needs to get by and do the job and is not above buying clones and knockoffs if it saves him a buck or two. Paying more than $500 for a printer would be unthinkable to him. Even though we know a highend model will usually be in the $1000 plus range and top of the line could reach $4000 plus.

high and low are relative terms, ultimate is relative higher end in MonoPrice printer line when compared with V2 and plus.

For all high end printer that I have idea with, those 3d print human organ/tissue is high end printer, those 3d print metal are middle class and those print resin or plastic are all low end, regardless the price.

lol, Carl, you overestimate me. I set my bar to $200 instead of $500 (shipping included), of all my printer, only two of my CR-10S exceed the bar by $3 and $5, but they well worth the extra money.

Re: New printer Monoprice ultimate maker

OK, I finally put Marlin on my MonoPrice Maker Ultimate, the major benefit is I can finally adjust motor current now. This Printer is way nosier than V2 and plus without motor current adjustment. Since the frame is so stable, I want to make it print faster, the the noise is off chart!

In Marlin Settings - Driver strength - the default setting is 1200, I was able to get it work at 500, but to be balanced with quiet and torque, I set them to 800, with tl-smoother, it is quiet enough at 800. This is eeprom setting so make sure you save it before reboot.

It still generate some noise when it do fast back-forth infills at high speed, but that is mechanic noise, the frame is stable, and unlike the high frequency motor noise, the mechanic noise don't go very far. I'm very happy with it now.

Re: New printer Monoprice ultimate maker

I ordered a bondtech from printedsolid black Friday. I stopped in the store . they apparently do not stock the d6 conversion kit but were willing to order one and ship it. I received it last Saturday.  And installed it .
easy install. it is a little different in that the you can not just shove the filament in  like the old one or the aero you actually have to feed it by turning the nylon gear.
