Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Thanks. I designed something in Sketchup, I export it as an .stl it shows up fine in R-H but once I slice it with Slic3r the words disappear. any ideas???

Are you saying you designed something with raised text and Slic3r removes it?
I would agree with Hazer Netfabb is pretty easy to use and it will fix a lot of issues quickly.
When you slice it does it give you an error that says "object not manifold"?

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

no the only thing it says is that it has overlapping facets. and that it tried to correct it. I ran it through netfabb and they said it didn't work

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Send me the STL and I'll take a look.  I'll PM you my regular email

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

It couldn't send. But another problem has arisen.  a small piece of filament is stuck between the two cylinders that pull the filament down and the hot end.  but its visible through the acrylic. what should I do??.. I cannot print and the printer makes a weird noise when trying to extrude

109

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Can you retract?  If not you are going to carefully take the acrylic apart.  Then it will break and I'll send you the MK-5 that you haven't printed yet. big_smile

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Don't worry it will crack eventually probably when you go to put it all back together.

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Alright now there's 4 screws that I cannot unscrew how do I go about removing them

113

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Which four screw the ones that go into the motor or the ones with nuts on them?

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

The nuts.  I cannot hold the nut to turn the bolt

115

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

And this is where the acrylic cracks.  Use a small flat screwdriver to keep the nut from turning by gently wedging it in between the nut and the acrylic.

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

And you where spot on.  I still am unable to remove the nut because there's not enough space to fit a small wrench.

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Those just suck!!!  PM me your address I have an MK-5 that I'll just send you.

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Alright So I received my E3D Hotend.  After wiring everything up I went to follow http://www.soliwiki.com/E3D_extruder and when I got to the Firmware Update Section and It says I have the Newer version and the instructions aren't meant for that

121

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Hello again.  How do I update R-H to print at 240* C

Hello again.  How do I update R-H to print at 240* C

123

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

The maximum temperature is set in the printer's firmware.  Unfortunately that is a big more complex than changing an option in a menu.  Check out the wiki here http://www.soliwiki.com/E3D_extruder and scroll to the firmware section. All you will need to change is the maximum temperature, not any of the other stuff. Keep in mind that the stock nozzle will melt itself at a temperature that high, so you will probably want an e3d for that.

124

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

already got an E3d thanks, but so I'm at the point where i upload it in Arduino and it saying error uploading

125

Re: Solidoodle 3 fixed problems and current problems. HELP?!

Try using the reset button as described on the wiki, and if that doesn't work, I'd try unplugging the printer from power as well as the usb so it fully turns off. Then try again. I imagine there are many threads out there with this issue. Just Google "unable to upload firmware (sanguinololu or printrboard)".  Let me know how it turns out!
