History / work log

2021-08-30: I re-created this page on my self-hosted web server.

2020-07-12: PrusaSlicer, filament settings: Extruder: 200 degrees C (first layer/other layers), Bed: 55/45 degrees C (first layer / other layers. Perhaps the bed needs to be 55 degrees for all layers. Print Settings, Advanced, Extrusion Width - I set almost all parameters to 0 (zero = "auto").

2020-07-06: I measured the printed test cube, it is 20mm on all sides, and the quality is acceptable.

2020-07-06: PrusaSlicer - estimates. I printed xyzCalibration_cube.stl (20 x 20 x 20 mm cube), PrusaSlicer estimated 25 mins, print time on printer display was 50 mins 5 secs.

2020-07-06: slicing - i fixed up the G-code setting for my printer in PrusaSlicer, then I tried to print. filament Settings were 210 degrees C for first layer, then 200 for the rest. Bed settings was 40 degrees C for both first and rest of layers. Test prints - The filament wouldn't stick to the bed (I tried a few times), so I raised bed temp to 50 degrees C for first layer, and 45 degrees C for the rest; it looks better now.

2020-07-06: calibration, z height. Measuring: I put a sheet of paper on the bed, via Pronterface I homed all axes (G28), then lowered printhead to 5mm over the bed (G1 Z5.0 F9000), then I manually moved the Z axis until it touched the paper (remember to turn off soft endstops first), the result was -1.7mm. Current Z height was 330.13, after subtracting -1.7mm the new Z height is 331.83mm. Turned off the printer and waited a bit, then I turned it on and checked the measurement (first G1 Z5.0 F9000, then manual move) it was solid.

2020-07-03: z-probe: my auto level probe is a NC switch, so definitively a version 2 probe.

2020-07-03: I tried some test prints, sliced with Cura (on c2) and PrusaSlicer (on z30b), but they failed. Need to calibrate better, the first layer doesn't sit properly on the bed.

2020-07-03: z30b - some parameters from M503 seems wrong. Go through the list and correct: M92 - E should be 96.0, not 98.0

>>> M92 E96.00
SENDING:M92 E96.00

M201 - increase max acceleration

>>> M201 X9000 Y9000 Z9000 E10000

as usual, Arduino IDE doesn't want to connect on first try, so I install pronterface. Connect at 250000, do a M503 to verify settings:

2019-11-13: I need a new rotary encoder for the panel on my Kossel (due to human error). The printer has the RepRapDiscount Smart Controller card. Later:I managed to fix the rotary encoder, for now at least.

hmm, OK, I have to manually set height to a larger value than actual height (I chose 350 mm):

then do a set (or calculate) height with G33 P1:

it does.

2019-03-18: - I updated configuration files for Marlin 1.1.9.

2019-03-15: Marlin - I should probably upgrade to Marlin 1.1.9 and recalibrate my printer. Anycubic3DPrinter has a description of how to do it.

2018-07-04: test prints - did some test prints with 80 mm/s print speed. They look a bit rougher than at 60 mm/s, but ok.

2018-07-04: set up - I re-ran the set up instructions. This time I noticed that step 8 - How to tweak Z=0 should be performed with a Z probe installed. duh! After that, I managed to calibrate the printer. new ZOffset: -15.06. Did a test print, looks ok.

2018-07-04: stepper drivers - they are A4988 stepper drivers. I took them out and did a visual inspection with a microscope, they seem ok. One of them had a loose heatsink (the heatsinks are just fixed with double side tape of some kind), I just stuck it back on.

2018-07-04: the front panel (SDcard + display + rotary encoder is a RepRapDiscount Smart Controller. I took it off to look for anything that could explain why the display blanks sometimes (bad solder joints, possible shorts between display and controller PCB) but didn't find anything. To be on the safe side, I put a piece of Kapton tape between the two boards, over the SD card vias. I also checked the front panel connectors and plugs on the mainboard - seems ok.

2018-06-29: upgraded the firmware to Marlin 1.1.7, spike lee config. Calibration isn't easy, the instructions are for Marlin 1.1.8. I need to fix this next week.

2018-06-17: start and stop gcode for extruder. Look at Ketil's M2-config and use that as an example for what is smart to put in start and end gcode.

2018-06-17: auto leveling. old Z: -15.49. New Z Offset: -15.51, changed -15.52 and stored. Leveling module removed. after test print Z level: -15.41

2018-06-17: auto leveling. old Z: -15.09. New Z Offset: -14.98, changed and stored. Leveling module removed. Tes print - doesn't stick to bed.

2018-06-17: I had remounted the extruder motor on the wrong side of the beam - don't do that, the carriage for the axis on the same beam will collide with it. fixed now.

2018-03-08: perhaps I should use Klipper on a Pi3 for my printer.

2018-02-01: printing - Bitraf build night, I printed the bottom half of the Raspberry Pi case. The case isn't perfect, but it works, and the Pi3 fits inside.

2018-01-28: Marlin firmware - support for Anycubic Trigorilla board - see pull request 8367.

2018-01-25: printing - Bitraf build night, I printed the top half of a Raspberry Pi3 case. On the second try it worked.

2018-01-25: refund - I got the refund from LightInTheBox.

2018-01-25: auto leveling. Old Z: -15.09, new X: -15.12

2018-01-24: got a reply from LightInTheBox - they will refund me the total amount that UPS charged me.

2018-01-23: refund - since I paid for customs insurance when I ordered, I filed a support ticket with LightInTheBox. We will see if they will refund me the value added tax.

2018-01-23: shipping - I got an invoice (in physical mail) from the transport company (UPS), they want a total of NOK 579.- (NOK 414 mva, NOK 165.- handling charge).

2018-01-21: after adjusting the Z height via many, many test circle prints, the new Z offset is -15.09.

2018-01-21: one of the rods on the Y-axis fell off the pulley when printing my third print. Screwed it back into place. After that I checked all screws on the pulleys and the print head. some of them were not tight - good call.

2018-01-21: auto leveling - performed auto bed leveling from the front panel. Old Z value 15.90, new Z value 15.95 (15.94).

2018-01-21: X-axis - the cable was wrong - the connector on one end was twisted 180 degrees. Took out the pins and changed it - now the X-axis homes correctly.

Hmm, how do I figure out axis direction settings in marlin? Specific, if the X-axis is inverted or not.

2018-01-20: OK, so screen doesn't want to connect properly at baudrate 250000 - only garbage, minicom only wants to do different speeds.

2018-01-20: homing - the X-axis goes in the wrong direction.

2018-01-20: Ok, the TriGorilla mainboard has a jumper for power via USB or via DC input. It was set to usb, changed to DC and now the printer powers on. Cool!

2018-01-20: PSU - it works, outputs 12V on both terminals for 12V. No reaction on the TriGorilla mainboard. Tried to reset button, nothing happens.

2018-01-20: first power on - nothing happens.

2018-01-20: 3D printer weekend at Bitraf. Starting assembly of the printer. 

Step 1 - install aluminum beams into bottom frame, and (loosely) secure with screws (already in place). 
Step 2 - install end stops, thread wire through center hole in beams, add plastic housing to terminals. The manual explained very clearly how to thread 
wires at the top to avoid damage by the top frame, but didn't explain how to thread the wires at the bottom (there are holes in the bottom frame for this. 
Top frame put in place, leveled and secured with screws.
Step 3 - print head, belt. Ok, one of the arms attached to the print head is broken, near the end. Needs to be glued together. Probably need to add a bit of 
shrink tubing too. Glued with epoxy (two component glue), I skipped the shrink tubing for now. Mounted print head, added belts. To be able to tension the 
belts, I loosened the screws that hold the top frame, and used the adjustment screws to lower it about 2 mm. Then I re-fastened the belts, as tight as I 
could. finally, I used the adjustment screws to tension the belt a bit. Good enough for starts. Re-fastened the screws that locks the top frame.
Step 4 - display screen.
Step 5 - filamen holder, extruder motor.
Step 6 - power supply
Step 7 - wiring

2018-01-02: shipping - I got an inquiry about the package from the transport company (UPS), they wanted more details, which I gave them.

2017-12-27: package received at Bitraf.

2017-12-22: I got a tracking number.

2017-12-21: the order was shipped.

2017-12-18: a discussion in a forum mentioned that the ANYCUBIC Kossel was a good printer for the price. The price was reduced too, so I bought one, and paid NOK 1820.- (1321- for the printer and 499.- in shipping and handling)
