    I can add to 8:00 that something that is also overlooked is that one of the two z axis mig be higher or lower then the other, this will also make one of the two sidewheel have different amount of traction. I had to losen the belt at the top, then manually turn one of the z bars, just a little bit, and then it was in level. I did this by moving the printer head to the max, manually

    Bed warp is another major issue with these printers. Mine is really bad, but I was able to get it close to flat with foil tape. I've always had a ringing problem. Being my first 3D printer, I just thought it was normal and sanding them out was just part of the process. I'll be going over everything you mentioned now.

  • @mrmister9969
    @mrmister9969 Рік тому +2

    This is it. This is the video. Very well explained helped a lot and the prints improved massively. On the topic of the print speeds tho: isnt the speed setting almost irrelevant as long as the acceleration is low enough. Because inaccuracy are usually caused by massive accelearations. And for small parts or pints speeds in the tripple digits wont actually be achieved if you keep the acceleration reasonable. But for larger parts the printer can save some time on long straight lines without sacrificing quality. Obviously you need to have the flow to match the print speed

    Incredible video. After a few months of great prints I noticed my S1 was producing bulging layers and I was having confusing issues with first layer/leveling. In my case all of the axis were properly tuned but the Sprite itself had come loose from the mount (all of the screws around the tensioner were extremely lose) and was wobbling freely! Very simple fix and now it’s back to perfect printing.

    About the tensioner: I saw a video suggesting to look at the "bite marks" on the filament when you pull it out. They should not look like the filament is squished or nearly cut through, nor should they be too superficial. These marks give you a nice hint whether the extruder has enough grip. Here, you also should be able to see if the extruder gear is worn out in case lots of abrasives were printed

    • @3DRundown

    Just wanted to drop a "thank you"! I was having issues with my new Ender 3 S1, and was starting to get frustrated. My extruder tensioner was quite loose, and extruder assembly was loose, the brass pieces on the back were lose, and I tightened up the belts of bed a little more. After doing all that and slowing the print speed just as you suggested, its a game changer. I was having significant issues getting the first layer down without being either too smushed, not smushed enough, lack of adhesion to the bed, etc. All of those issues are now gone and my prints are coming out "perfect" (in comparison to how they were before). There's always more tuning that can be done, but at least now I'm off to the races.

Thank you very much for this short, straight to the point, easy to follow video.

    Really one of the best videos out there on this topic. You've not only provided an explanation for why things keep going south on my prints, but also shown the ways to fix it. A question: you made it clear that both wheels on the left rail should be equally tight to each other, and that both wheels on the right should be equally tight to each other; but should all four wheels be equally tight as a group as well? Seems like they should, but I don't want to assume.

    i just got a hardly used ender 3 s1 and have been trying to set it up, its not my first printer but it is my first with a heated bed, dual z`s and self leveling. my layer height seems ok but iv been having issues with my Z lines, printed 8 rabbits and making slight adjustments each time and still no good. just watched this video and found out i didnt check the 4 screws on the Z rods, they were very loose. just strating a new print so i will find out in 30 mins to see if this has helped lol!!! great videos, very detailed and to the point. keep up the good work!!!

    I love your channel and content. Thank you for your informational, problem solving, and upgrade tutorial videos for Ender and Bambu printers. I think my favorite thing is that you are not doing the overly-enthusiastic performative personality and presentation. You always seem mildly annoyed by existence itself, and I appreciate that. You're authentic, and I am more likely to trust your opinions when you both like or dislike something.

However, there are ways to help with prints times, on the slicing side. While I am not somebody that focuses on speed, perhaps a video on that topic would be helpful.

  • @АртёмВоробей-ъ9м

    This is a wonderful video, and after it I began to understand the mechanics of the printer a lot more and now I feel more confident)
    During the adjustment of the Z-axis rollers, for a long time I could not understand where the small backlash came from, I clamped and loosened those small crossbar screws and the eccentric several times until I realized that it was the backlash of the axis itself on the screw)
    Also, I additionally tightened the screws on the wheel axles, because they rest against the inside of the bearing and nothing bad will happen?
    Additionally, I want to add about checking the parallelism of Z beams.
    I had a discrepancy of 0.5 mm at the top and bottom of the beams.
    Loosening the window at the bottom of the printer did not help, the frame did not move in that place, and I just tightened the two bolts a little tighter next to each other, on the side. This was enough for my 0.5 mm, and there was even a margin for a stronger adjustment.
    And again about Z. Lifting the axle to the very top, I found that the train was stretched and did not allow it to reach the end. I moved it a little into the mount, and now the axle gets out. It is worth checking in advance before printing on the topmost point.

    I've been tinkering with mine for weeks and I don't think it's a problem where it generates some ripples in the vertical, looking like resonance, making 3mm cubes at 30/35mhs, it's very noticeable and a low speed for this printer. I don't know where else to turn because I've already done countless tests, including testing with very tight, medium, loose straps, etc. The printer is very firm, I disassembled it completely, cleaned all the areas that had dirt on them, thinking it would solve the problem and I can't solve the problem.

    Would it be a good idea if you disassemble the screws of both stepper motors and perform the calibration of the eccentric nut without the assembly of the screws? because yesterday I watched your video and started checking my 3D printer calibration. Then, I noticed that both of the cars where the X axle slides, at a certain height, one of the two wheels stops touching the aluminum profile, but at a different height, the tires do touch the entire profile. Why is that?

    • @3DRundown
      @3DRundown  2 місяці тому +1

      This is fairly common. Tiny deviation in the angle of the gantry. I have never worry about it much. If it's getting REALLY tight, or REALLY loose, higher up, you can bring it up, then, adjust the eccentrics there... Some people go crazy, squaring up everything. I can tell you, I have never bothered with that...

      Sonic pad isn't so bad. Don't be afraid. It DOES require some new learning, but, it's not too bad. Firmware is pretty easy. You do it via memory card. I would use MRISCOC for the S1 (not the pro). Firmware goes on a card. Card in machine. Turn it on. That's it. You may also need to update the screen, the same way. There is a slot on the screens PCB.
