Troubleshooting a fully custom build
(lemmy.world)
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!
Have you done a full calibration? If not, start and work the process. Take your time with it, do each step multiple times. Being a home brew printer it’s going to be very beneficial to get OCD about things. Make sure the frame is square and rigid, the axis are all square to each other, and nothing shifts.
