Can you please outline the steps you've taken thus far, starting with the stock printer? We need to know what you've done to be able to tell you what to try.
i often use 600 grit sandpaper to get burnt plastic of the sides of my printer nozzle. By doing this filament is less likely to stick to nozzle and drag across your print. Of course you can always soak in Acetone however that is a long process of waiting.
There's multiple setting in firmware that causes the print head to disable at temperatures higher than 240ish. Go into the updated firmware supplied by seemecnc and in the master config file in Arduino use ctrl f to search "temp". youll notice some max settings are set to 240. change those to 270. even though he280 can go slighter higher im not familiar with any filaments that require that high of a temp.
And I guess that a delta machine is always noisier than a Cartesian printer because it runs all 3 motors all the time. I think the firmware has some kind of an impact. I remember that the Prusa MK2 has different run modes in the firmware settings that impact the noise level. Running the motors in the low power mode makes the printer very quiet. I wonder, if that can be done on a Rostock, possibly by using Marlin instead of Repetier.
It sounds like an issue with the power supply. If you purchased through MatterHackers, please send an email to support@matterhackers.com and we'll assist. If you purchased elsewhere, please contact SeeMeCNC: https://seemecnc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?
I had a similar issue occurring. It was frustrating on long prints. The problem has been resolved for me and I think it was several issues occurring for me. I tried many things to resolve it including new Bowden tube types as well as the "grabber"One was to much pressure building up within the extruder. Reducing the flow control can help here. When your temp drops you may be experiencing this. Have you tested your thermistor and are you sure you have the right thermistor defined?The second for me was the Bowden tube did not have much slack for prints that were at the extreme of the radius. This caused it to slowly work its way out over time in long prints. Using a longer Bowden tube help resolve that.
Thanks for starting me in the right direction. I actually run a RAMPS board. I found the answer here:http://wp.boim.com/?p=97Remember to modify the correct board in the pins.h file.
Sounds like you need to run PID tuning. Here is a guide on how to do that.http://matterhackers.dozuki.com/Guide/PID+Tuning/6Here is also a general article on diagnosing temperature related issues.http://matterhackers.helpscoutdocs.com/article/53-printer-has-trouble-holding-temperature
@dmcray,The accelerometer error is being reported by your printer's firmware. I'm guessing you did a firmware upgrade as part of your E3D installation. It sounds like whatever firmware you put on your printer is trying to use the accelerometer and is throwing the error because it cannot find it. There should be some way to disable this in your firmware configuration.
i did check the endstops with that command (sorry should have mentioned it). On the wiring, most likely the ones in the x tower itself? Everything was working fine at one point and this isn't a new build.
I followed the guide to the letter. When I used the software print leveling in mattercontrol it suggested raising the value in eeprom of XYZ, respectivley, max length. All three are set to 382mm. This has allowed me to get prints started. However now the ezstruder isnt feeding filament, IM researching how to adjust the hobbed gear, it goes through the calibration process but stops feeding filament during test prints after the first couple of layers...
I'm not sure what configuration file you're talking about. Octoprint uses .yaml files for configuration. Most slicers use .ini files, and the firmware uses a .h file. In any case, if you already have it working with Raspbian then can't you just copy the configuration from there to Windows?
@hsbonser, there are no STL specific configurations. Is MatterControl giving you the hardware error message as well? Can you post a print log after this happens?
