<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — RoVa3D with 5 nozzles!]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/11088/rova3d-with-5-nozzles/ Thu, 25 Jun 2015 20:15:13 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: RoVa3D with 5 nozzles!]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/99915/#p99915 Wow, that's unfortunate... So far my (single extruder) printer hasn't required any setup or tweaking except to set the nozzle height over the bed, and thankfully it was already pretty close, I just adjusted until the first-layer was bonding better. My printer is the AIO Zeus, which was a little pricey but their support has been really helpful- they sent me a new hot end when mine was consistently jamming, and have been putting out software updates too.

I'd really love to get a Rova, I already keep thinking "If I had multi extruders I'd do this, or that" but the learning curve of all that might scare me off a little longer. I have a bunch of free time in August, so maybe that'll be the right time to pull the trigger. And maybe I'll pay for the extra support LOL

Thanks for the info!

This caused belts to loosen, gears to slip, all kinds of little learning curves.

5 extruders is a LOT of tweaking. Calculating the offsets of each, getting the heights the same, getting it all zoned in.

I haven't touched it in a few weeks. I had a concussion. Now that I'm well again, I'm eager to dive in again!

As for regrets... THe customer service was unlimited and amazing for the first month. Then poof, gone. It's not really gone. just not as easy or unlimited. I had a steady email chain going the whole month, it was great. Then no reply. It was part of the purchase agreement, so I'm not feeling cheated. I just would have done more in that first month, to really take advantage.

I'm not yet doing anything impressive, but I'm also learning to design, so I'm running  a lot of test prints to test aspects of my product design. The quality tweaking isn't as necessary as the product design tweaking at the moment, so my focus has been on the designing lately.

Curious to know your experience with it, I'm new to 3D as well...

Here is a look at my unboxing video, for those curious!

I'm just wondering if there are any others here with a nozzle addiction smile I'm brand new to 3D printing, and brand new to my machine. I look forward to sharing!
