05:23 SquirrelCZECH any tips where one could fine threadless ball screw for Z axis on i3?

07:58 deshipu I hate it when they just put some junk together without any sense
10:06 codepython7771 deshipu: does it crawl or is it just art ? :)
12:04 GuShH crap
21:53 orlock "rebuilt" tripodlegs
21:54 orlock the grub screw bolt things had worn a hole _through_ the outer part of the leg, meaning there was no pressure holding them in place
21:56 Jak_o_Shadows I've ~almost~ got my 3d printer working
21:56 orlock awesome
21:56 orlock what sort?
21:56 orlock mines working damn near perfect
21:57 orlock just not comp[letely perpendicular
21:57 Jak_o_Shadows It's a prusa i3, slightly cobbled together
21:57 Jak_o_Shadows the nozzle was crooked, so I just fixed that, and now have to redo Z zeroing
21:58 orlock nozzle or hotend?
21:58 Jak_o_Shadows er, hotend
21:58 orlock i replaced my hotend
21:58 Jak_o_Shadows I'm going to have to make a nicer mounting bracket at some point
21:59 orlock my extroder is sagging slightly, means the "back" of my prints are slightly messy
21:59 orlock apart from that, and not being able to print ABS its perfect
21:59 Jak_o_Shadows I had quite extreme dragging of the nozzle end
21:59 Jak_o_Shadows also, I am using ABS
22:00 Jak_o_Shadows also, I have massively slowed down my Z
22:03 orlock my HBP doesnt get hot enough for ABS
22:03 orlock it curves up
22:03 Jak_o_Shadows I don't have a heated bed, but I think ii'm going to make a heated builed platform soon

22:04 orlock doesnt the ABS lift?
22:04 Jak_o_Shadows the one print i've done didn't
22:04 Jak_o_Shadows it was very small
22:05 orlock although i guess i will have a heated build room this weekend
22:05 orlock metal shed + australian summer
22:05 Jak_o_Shadows haha, yep, hot
22:06 Jak_o_Shadows I'm trying the cube again with a straight hot end
22:08 orlock also ABS stinks
22:08 orlock stinks like my childhoot in a furnace
22:09 Jak_o_Shadows helps if i hit the print button in cura

22:30 slidercrank Jak_o_Shadows, the 3d printer you're building?
22:34 Jak_o_Shadows yup
22:35 slidercrank Jak_o_Shadows, what are you gonna print? what manual did you use to build it?
22:37 Jak_o_Shadows lots of things, including robot arm parts
22:37 Jak_o_Shadows haha, manual
22:46 Jak_o_Shadows ok, extruder ideler actually properly spinning now
