    Your Z flex coupler is being stretched and it’s effecting your print quality badly...look up inverted z axis and self centering Z coupler on thingiverse. That will get your print quality way up

  • @themechanix393
    @themechanix393 6 років тому +2

    Your Z Coupler is awfully bent and accentric nuts are a MUST without the ability to adjust the play of the axis (which you will need to do #wear #tolerance) you and up with a wobbly printer.
    Your purple parts have extreme underextrusion btw

    Do the circuit boards come pre-assembled or did you have to solder them?

    This was my first printer. I follower ruiraptors video assembling it and it printed pretty good right away, better then some of your examples here even. One I put a fan and duct on (fang fan) it got even better. Bed cable management is another must do or the wires will pull off the bed (fire hazard!)
    I bought the green Pro version and it needed no mods, its a much better machine out of the box.

    they can machine them to the exact dimensions so eccentric nuts are not needed, but then what do you do after a few months when it starts to get wobbly again?

    • @ModBotArmy
      @ModBotArmy  6 років тому

      Why would it get wobbly? My other kits have been going for over a year with no wobble.

    • @witgangyounotube287
      @witgangyounotube287 6 років тому

      did you go trough thousand+ hours on it? i'm not sure but its my guess that since it's a material that has even a small amount of compression,under load it tends to shrink over time .

      @@ModBotArmy, holes in acrylic plate are too big for the normal, non-excentric screws. If they are in the wrong side of the hole, you are not able compensate them with excentric nuts on the other side. I just upgraded to metal cnc parts with correct hole sizes and it fits perfectly, no need for any trick for tightening.
      Also with only one z screw it is more stable with the alu upgrade, because every wheel touches the profiles now, so there is no more wobble.

    So I had bought this printer about a year ago. I had built it slowly and made sure everything was correct. I got 1/2 of a print done. I had forgotten support material so I stopped it. I had then fixed that and printed again. The layers would then offset every single time it would move up at all. I then got a new motherboard from gear best (took 3 months). I then tried again and it didnt change anything. My the time I had gotten to hear best again, it had been 6 months. They sent me a new controll panel. Still have yet to get it. I got this printer last christmas. Did you have any problems like this?

  • @Miperzfed
    @Miperzfed 6 років тому

    Hey ModBot, I got my Tarantula as my first 3d printer and there is one point I personally feel that you skipped in you video is that this printer is not exactly anywhere near beginner friendly in terms of the assembly manual/instructions. But I found the machine assembled nicely and easily despite me having no previous experience with 3d printers, but it's been a bit of a pain to get it to run correctly as my Tarantula has been overextruding and has clogged up two nozzles now. But I do whole heartedly agree with the wiring being a total rat's nest, and it sucks as the manual says nothing about properly running wires. But I do like your review of the printerthough!

    I have two questions
    Firstly can we print Nylon , Polycarbonate on Tevo Tarantula
    Secondly can we mount the front mount anywhere else than the front like outside custom built enclosure ?

    • @ModBotArmy
      @ModBotArmy  6 років тому

      No you will need to upgrade the hotend to an all metal if you plan to print in nylon or pc. As far as the front mount yes you can definitely make an enclosure and move it so its out of site. There are quite a few printable enclosures available on thingiverse.

  • @KamenDesantis

    I know you said its a nonissue with levelling, but it seems swapping the extruder out for a bowden setup would take a lot of weight off that arm and reduce the sag.

    Its a great printer. Not for idiots, it is a DIY (do it yourself) printer. I had no problems building. I build it in a few hours and printed right after. It's like a model. if you can't do it then you are not knowledgeable enough to do it. many upgrades are available. great cheap printer if you are not an idiot.

      Its just a different name. It's what the instruction manual calls them and you will find them online if you look up eccentric nut.
