Hey y'all, I managed to hack together a printer from scratch and I'm struggling to get it to print well. It's a CoreXY system that's being controlled by a Octopus 1.1. Dual z screws, the works.
I have it moving under it's own power and all. It's able to actually print, but the results are atrocious.
I'm just trying to diagnose what's wrong here.
The bottom/first layer actually looks kinda good. It's just completely shredding subsequent layers.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Howdy y'all, much like the title says, I'm looking to build a Hypercube. I have what was once upon a time an Ender 3 V1 that I've rebuilt with an Ender Extender kit. I'm not happy with the aggressive ghosting I get from the 400x400 bed so I wanted to cannibalize the electronics and build the frame from scratch. I was also planning on keeping the bed since it's got a stick on heater and thermistor that'll work well with the new setup. Hotend too, probably, since it's an all metal Micro Swiss.
Any gotchas to look out for? I know belt tension is a biggie once I get it together, but any gotchas to look out for in the build process?
I'm not too nervous about throwing together a custom firmware for this, it's not my first custom firmware and I'm a software guy by trade so it's pretty straightforward for me.
