I am having troubles with blobbing. After printing for an hour or so I get a large blob and if I am not right there to clean it then the xy axis will skip. Any ideas?

Try this!

I am having a problem , after printing for 40 minutes it appears the y axis is skipping or something. I can print multiple towers much higher than this without a problem. Any ideas? (of course you guys have ideas! That is why I moved to the DuetWifi from Replicape)

I3 machine, I will try today. Thanks.

I have a logics problem with reversal of xy (long suspected but has not effected prints until now) I just printed a threaded piece, thread along Y axis and the threads are reversed. How do I fix this?

Well as I am a sailing skipper and have a tight schedule from the middle of June till March it will be a slow process but I will try to update my progress. Going with the XY platform.

The framing system will be baked carbon fiber to which the rails will be attached. I have lots of CF and epoxy and if I make this a cube style I have some ideas to make the look much "sexier"! Whatever the hell that means!

My next project will be to build an interim machine to increase accuracy and build volume. My initial budget is 1000€ just to get it printing. I am looking at a 500cm heated enclosed build space, 2 extruders and a .2mm extrusion. I want rails and Flex3Drive. I am not sure what the initial hotend will be but that is easily upgraded. This will be a proof of concept system.

After finally getting my I3 working well I am ready to start a new project. I want to build a larger printer with 2-3 extuders. Should I go with an X-Y or Kossel. I understand the XY system more, the Delta seems to be smoke and mirrors and magic!
I want to be able to print very accurate prints.

Changed the G31 Z setting and it works! Just like the documents said.
Now if I can separate the PrintBite from the broken glass I'll be a happy camper.
