Guess it wasnt fixed then

@mpirringer Thank you for answer!

Rack and Pinion starting to come along Rack is a double rack to combat deflection reinforced with 1/2 al. shaft Will lift in excess of 100 lb on bench test Material for now Hobby King HIPS. Printed on MH Pulse on Garolite plate with E3D V6 hotend and .8mm Nozzle sliced in SLIC3R

Are you guys going to do Volumetric E and variable layer widths anytime soon? And also fix the layer time estimation for small parts. And while we are at it it would be great if each new version comes with a readme that tells you what was fixed and what was changed. So we don't have to call support for things like "where is the Z offset now" and "where is the supports option" etc. IOW when you remove, add or move something there should be something popping up saying "here is whats new in version ...." A Change log like any other software update does

Thanks Lars, appreciated.

@mpirringer , Thanks for the info. I'm printing directly through USB so it always runs the leveling with the probe. I will try flipping the build plate. Thanks again.

@michael-petitclerc The shift occurs only on Y-axis. I then checked the Z-screws: Right: -1.52mm Left: -1.58mm The Z-screws are in in the correct position. This is how they appear with the gantry at home point.

I have done that and started doing that again. I just stopped posting feature requests as I felt they fell under the table. Besides I was told repeatedly to take the issues up with Tech support so they have my comments/suggestions. My main issues to repeat them here with MC slicer are. pu Foremost you can't slice Volumetric. Marlin which the pulse runs on works much better in volumetric mode granted it won't make much difference if you print Phil A Ments but it does on gears here is a link to a video I made on that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kugqYO-Jang&t=48s Then you cannot specify layer width and that helps in combination with the extrusion multiplier with accuracy and layer adhesion. You see what we print here and on my channel all mechanical parts and gears gears and did I say gears. Then the time estimates are off. Now its not that important when the part finishes but it gets the layer times wrong sometimes as much as +/- 60% and that impacts cooling when you print small parts. And then I have yet to be able to slice a plate full of gears. I can slice a small number like 3 or 4 (IDK how many as I have stopped using MC for that for above reasons and this one) Right now for example I am printing 4 gears with 267459 facets each sliced in SLIC3R the gcode file is 56MB If I slice that in MC I can come back an hour later and its either dead or still working on it no way to tell. SLIC3R is not perfect it sometimes dies too (about 2x a week) but I can live with that. Look I have no problem helping out and I have but my first priority are the Kids of FRC Team 1989 for whom all that printing takes place. We fell way short last season due to issues with the printer both software and hardware wise and you guys were helpful. Even though there are/were plenty of annoyances. But I am still helping out here, and with messages to tech support. My history on Github was not that pleasant I causes a lot of complaints in posting it in the wrong format, posting something in the Pulse group that should have been posted in the MC group and vice versa and posting there some stuff that should have been posted to tech support. Well I am just a customer and did not get the memo of proper procedure so now mostly I make it work somehow for myself, once the warranty is up I will make certain changes especially to the wireing and electrical to prevent future mishaps as we (the school and team 1989) have decided to not do anything to void your warranty even though that is a moving target too But as I said so far we were able to work it all out and I am still here running about 5kg of filament through the printer for the school and the team and now using what I have learned to help people here and on other FRC related boards. And maybe this year we get the whole robot figured out and done in case you don't know we are printing among other things a full FRC style robot (125 lb weight limit, 32x28x60 inch or thereabouts containing about 25 to 30kg of filament) Of course its a system of reusable interconnecting parts. I will add some from time to time to the Something positive thread here

@mpirringer Thank you for your answer I've tried to find Print Recovery for further, but I can't see Options for Enable Recovery in MatterControl 2.0. Anyway, I'm not sure, how such way works, if power shut down will affect connected computer with MatterControl By the way, exporting of data to SD card takes about 4 minutes, it seems different from Cura process, which makes this in second. Maybe in this case would be better to write to SD Card from Cura. But I'm not sure, how to set Cura properly for Pulse XE and Nylon X, except temperatures, some guide on this would be also very useful

I got mine last september. There is/was a learning curve. We put so far a little over 40kg of filament through that thing there were some problems mainly due to miscommunications as to the capabilities. Like from the literature at that time it was not clear that the temp max for the nozzle is about 280/285 for the E3D V6. True there are E3Ds that go to 400 but not this one. So that cost some thermistors. There was a wireing problem with the bed (the wire was not tied down properly in the electronics case so the movement of the bed back and forth caused arcing in the connector which damaged the connector.) But that all was fixed by MH (and I hope current models dont have that problem) there are some things I'd like to improve like the connection of the PTFE to the BodenTech extruder. The change I posted is right now in the 2nd kg of printing. The hotend/fan shroud could be better and some other things. But all in all we are currently putting 4-6kg of filament a week through that thing (with a .8 nozzle) printing mostly big frame parts. We (FRC team 1989) are trying to 3d print a whole 32x28x52 inch robot (not in one piece) including gear boxes, frame wheel mounts etc. We have developed planetary gear systems, rack and pinions, regular gears and are printing in Nylon (mostly Taulman as they partially sponsor us) HIPS (For frame parts and gear prototypes as its only $12/kg at Hobby King and way better than ABS) and PETG. Occasionally some PLA (working of getting the manufacturing process down to have it come at least semi annealerd from the printer and the finish anneal it with keeping the dimentional distortions within specs) . So all in all its working most of the time. And yes you will have to bed level once in a while especially when you change the bed temp quite a bit, The garolite bed we have holds on to anything so far (next test is going to be some flexibles and polypropylene and we got a roll of POM/Delrin donated). Well we learned how to take that thing apart if necessary and keep it running. So if you have any questions ask and just so you know I do not work for MH and don't get a cent if you buy here or not. I am just an Old Dude with a Pulse.

So I tried un-installing and re-installing MatterControl and creating a new profile. None of that worked. What I did find was that my Repitier server was running on startup. When I killed that service via the Task Manager, I was then able to connect Pulse to MatterControl. So, I think killing the server process made it work.

@thekidrio I am sorry that your experience with the Pulse XE has been what it is, I would normally be here to assist but due to a number of factors, my attention to this community has lapsed quite a bit. I see that you had sent us an email recently regarding issues with the machine. I had not responded as I should have and for that, I apologize. I have tasked one of my team members with reaching out to you and seeing if we can be of assistance. We do not ever want a member of our community or a customer to ever feel like we have left them in the dark but unfortunately, it looks like we have failed you here. We want to do our best to make this right for you, please let me know if there is anything I can do for you in the meantime.

I looked into the Tevo's a while back and know some started of with a Creality CR10 profile for those. If you are into programming (I am) look into gcode and setting a printer up should not be too difficult. The important part will be that you get the printing dimensions right and the start point (where the nozzle homes too and its not always 0,0.0). So in the start code you want to home and get everything up to temp that can get up to temp if its an FDM printer. You might also look into existing profiles for those printers in other slicers (Slic3r, Cura etc) which are free and then copy the settings into MC as far as the gcode sections go. Unfortunately it all will require some googling and trial and error

Ok thanks for your help and a detailed reply. Atb. Aamcle

Excellent. I found it. Thank you very much. ADK9

Thanks, I'll try that.

This is possible. Here is a quick video I took to show how:

Thanks so much for the feedback. I know most people become engaged when they have a problem, sot it is wonderful to hear from you when things are good!

Guess it would entirely depend on quite a few factors. Like how big are they? What kind of functionality are you looking for? What kind of Material etc. Its kinda if you say I got a lot of stuff to get from A to B what is the best vehicle. Could be a car, a van, a truck, a tanker if its liquid or maybe an airplane or a freight train

I had that and if you have the same screen I do then there are 2 connectors and if one is reversed or not plugged in right you will get exactly what you describe. also check the connectors in the electronics box. If you are not sure you might want to get them on the phone for that. But those display connectors are not of the locking kind and a tumble in the box in transit can dislodge them But then you could have a bad part too. Electronics usually fails in the first 72-96 hours of running If it survives it usually lasts until somewhere to its designed MTF which is usually measured in years (unless something happens like a short or arcing etc.) One thing you could check to see if its a display problem or something else is to connect to it with a computer with MC. The pulse will work without a display tethered to a computer. Then at least you would know where to look for the problem
