Rebuilding my Ord Hadron
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 7:41 am
After some work getting prin ting again (heat bed and temperature issues),, I had a failure 3 hours into a 4 hour print.
It seemed that the Y axis slipped by about 4 mm so it started to deposit layers on thin air, never successful.
THe belts seem a bit loose and I can't seem to tighten them enough, perhaps they are just worn out after 3 years?
Not having easy access to MXL belting, I'm going to use GT2 which means replacing the pulleys and another recalibration.
New ACME threaded rod can go in on the Z-axis as well.
I'll get to finish a print one day ...
