Heatbed insulation

Изображение
  New day - new mod! Otherwise life is boring :) We warm the heatbed. I foresee the question - why? Well firstly we will improve the thermal stability and - potentially - the adhesion of the first layer. This may be relevant if you are printing ABS or ASA plastics, or some other filaments that require an elevated printing temperature. Although I printed the eSUN ASA - and in general I did not notice any problems, except for the usual problems with adhesion (glue stick to help you). And to be honest - because we f *** can. So this is my second attempt at insulating a heatbed. The first failed because the standard spacers on which the heatbed is installed are too short (well, or the thickness of the thermal insulation is too thick, it all depends on the perspective). Here are the old and new spacers and screws.  The stock length for bushings is 14mm or 9/16 inches of freedom, for screws - screws M5*22. New  bushings are 4.1x7x20mm and screws M5*30mm - alas, my American...

Kobra2+Klipper

I continue to torture my Kobra2 :) Today we will START installing and configuring the Clipper. !!! IMPORTANT !!! The config for the printer IS NOT FEATURING NOZZLE OFFSET - it is in the process and will be added later. !!! IMPORTANT !!! Everything you do - you do at your own peril and risk. I am not responsible for any burnt printers, gray hair, sleepless nights, divorced spouses, and so on. !!! IMPORTANT !!! The stock screen will not work! Well, everything important has been said - let's get started. What you need: 1. Anycubic Kobra2 printer (unexpected, right?) 2. A single board computer capable of running Klipper. I will be using a Raspberry Pi 3 since I have one. You also need a microSD memory card for this computer. If your single board computer uses eMMC as a drive, then this manual does not cover this feature. 3. High-quality power supply for a single board computer. In my case - 5V 2-3A, otherwise there may be serious issues with stability. A small note. There is a DC-DC co...
