The Canadian MPCNC

Hi guys,

Check out the garage organizer/MPCNC. I just put it together. There is still a lot of testing to do. I used aluminum foil emergency blankets around the inside to try to keep some heat in. My garage isn’t heated and it’s pretty cold. There’s acrylic on the front. It’s not a great insulator but at least it keeps the cold air out.

The legs aren’t screwed down yet, but they’re pretty wobbly. The thing shakes around a lot. I’ll probably change to having the corner blocks mounted to the sides which are 3/4 inch particle board.

When I start a print, it starts printing immediately and doesn’t wait for the extruded to heat up. How do I fix this? I’ve tried both ramps firmware versions.

I thought there was a different gcode command for heat up and wait vs. heat up and don’t wait.

Looks nice. Throw in a vacuum and you’ve cornered the dust too. What are those sides? They look like bookcases.

Should set the extruder temp to 190, then print when it gets there.

Thanks, I add this to the gcode?

Your slicer should be doing that automatically, that isn’t a firmware thing.

Ok, I sliced it using Cura 3.0.1, which is for Ultimaker. I guess that explains it.

What slicer do you recommend?

 

 

That is a default setting for all printers. Somehow that got changed. Try resetting the defaults or reinstalling. I like cura just not the standalone. I like repetier, simplify, matter control, check out Prusa’s slicer as well.

I have the recommended setting on the extruder page.

Thanks. I’ll try that.
