Document Summary
Makerbot replicator 2- mb desktop- direct usb cable. Flashforge- mb desktop- direct usb (abs, covered with a plastic cover) Doesn"t need controlled cooling, so it"s open air. Need to tell software what it is, what settings to use to know right temperature. Spindle issue: needs to move freely to move filament--no tangles, no hitches to impede movement. Moved build plate up and down via rotating screw. Mb plate is not warm (abs needs warm plate) Build plate may have notches because extruder needs to level, know where it is. Depends on size of build plate and how far down it can move. Pulled, not pushed by extruder--like glue gun. Detects filament absence/clogs cause of huge problems. Needs to be level, otherwise, filament may squiggle. Before every print, look at the purge line. Thin layers stacked on top of one another. Build plate moves down along the z axis, allowing the next layer.
