Oh well, start again… I hate when that happens!!! usually sign of need for new print nozzle.. or something off with stl file.. today im trying to build a dry box before i start printing.. the moisture proof storage box is in! hopefully i can start my first parts to be printed! find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, my bad… I changed from PLA to PETG without realising! Settings were wrong. So, cleaned the bed, changed the settings and boom, now it’s printing beautifully again! 1 SCAN Intel Core i9 10850K "Comet Lake", 32GB DDR4, 10GB NVIDIA RTX 3080, HP Reverb G2.

Ugh, I hate my printer too sometimes. It would not print. I changed settings, nozzle and cleaned the bed. For 3 days it printed perfectly. Then yesterday, completely freaked out again and will NOT print…. I feel your pain. I put a new hotend on yesterday, and STILL messing about.

I have to ask, does your build have a physical auto center? If not you will find that monocle slewing will be a constant drifting unless u know where the center of the pot will be.

hannibal Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 i just saw your link about the french joystick build @Razorback it looks cool but at the same time looks like a difficult thing to print.. you can design great things.. but also you have to be realistic on how you can make your design. who knows, the french can build it with easy, but from my capability it looks difficult. in the mean time, me and @molevitchare in a race to build the Mi24 aiming station! at the rate i am going, ill probably done by end of month.. find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorback Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) That's for sure a master piece ! When available on the Virpil Website ? Are you thinking of producing a document that explains all the construction, the origin of certain parts, the switch models, the connection to the LB board, etc.? With of course the files that would allow to reproduce the parts with a 3D printer... Edited September 4, 2021 by Razorback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
