  @cestlasara WD40 will work, but it may attract a lot of dust grit and residue which may make track rough over time. The best solution is the lithium grease.

  Heating bed error

  Just kind of an update to this: I started seeing this error more often when I started cleaning the bed surface with a combination of rubbing alcohol and Costco cleaning wipes, followed by Aquanet (purple can) hairspray for priming the surface, while it was preheating. I'm using a borosilicate bed surface lined with a thermal pad sheet. I heat the bed up to 90C for printing PETG, and it's intermittent. If I can reproduce this on a more consistent basis I'll keep you guys posted. I usually have a workaround of disconnecting the printer from MatterControl and reconnecting, continue to preheat, and so far the error seems to clear.

  That worked. It was a pain on windows 10 because it won't do it but I found a program that would. Reformatted, popped it in and saw all my files. thanks.

  @kagekitsune The Pulse is made to be easily upgraded. If you do decide to swap out components, let us know and we can send you the updated firmware to flash. As far as the filament fan goes, it does well in covering all the part where the deposition is occurring. This allows for curing of the filament where it is needed.

  As to removing a big flat part from the bed. I usually get a spatula under one part of the print and slowly work it in and across the side of the print. You will hear the print come up off the bed. If you work your way around the print and then more and more into the center you can get the print off with no damage to the bottom. For me it is usually just about moving slow enough to ensure nothing has too much pressure on it.

  Hi James, how are your pla prints coming out? If good, would you mind telling me what settings you have changed from factory in Mattercontrol for PLA? Preferably build/standard series filament? TIA!

  Resolved the issue: Increased Bed temp to 90C Turned off fans for the whole print in MatterControl (because this significantly drops the bed temp) With the fans OFF the glass surface in the middle now reads +/- 10F within target instead of -95F (~35C) below target heat bed Kept the glass plate on, no painters tape ( I tried painters tape, it was ok for the first layer but after that I switched back to the glass plate)

  @cestlasara The closest that we have to that size is a 229mm x 254mm. We are currently out of stock so go ahead and place you name on the list to be notified once it is in stock.

  @Trizz1964 We do not have a solution for you at this time. This may be a capability that we add in the future, but for now you will have to do profile updates by hand.

  Removing bowden tube from heat sink (troubleshooting a clog)

  Thank you guys for the help! I followed up with Erik via support@matterhackers.com to continue this and I got the issue resolved. You guys are great Just updating this on the thread for future reference for anyone reading: I was able to release all the jam culprits after learning from you guys how to properly remove the bowden tube ends from both the bondtech extruder and the heatsink. Here's a picture of the nozzle where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel The mashed up filament in the bondtech extruder (again I'm noob) And the filament stuck in the heatsink... it was too short to do a cold pull so I had to take the print head apart completely and heatgun my way through the heatsink, and that fixed that issue. I couldn't even extrude with filament behind this one because it was stuck in either direction, whether I would even attempt a push or pull. This being said, I know how to fix this moving forward. I actually had a jam before starting my next print at home and I fixed the issue in less than 30 minutes this time instead of 3 days of crying my eyes out

  Thanks @rtully - As Ryan mentioned it is a machine that is customized by you, assembled by MatterHackers. Comes with the MatterHackers guarantee and customer support, so you're sure to love the machine. The printer is based on the very robust and proven Prusa i3 design. We have hundreds of hours of testing in the books for the machine and customers are very happy to have received an customized, assembled, and tuned machine that was ready to go out of the box. Don't hesitate to call and ask MatterHackers' sales staff if you have any questions!DG
