Scrollview display error

I've had this issue for a couple of weeks but haven't had a chance to look at it until this past weekend. I placed a scrollview on a tab within a form and some of the components would appear outside of the tab if they were scrolled outside of the scrollview limits. I showed screen shots of this erro...

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

I think I used 1/4-20 UNC screws and wing nuts for the adjustment. This will give me about 1.27mm of height adjustment per revolution. I probably will need to replace them with 1/4-28 UNF or maybe even 10-32 UNF. They would give me 0.91 or 0.79mm adjustment respectfully. I'm not sure what they used ...

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

Wow! Brilliant work Mike! I do hope you find the time to complete this project, and maybe compare its performance with your Creality Ender. But I know how difficult it is to find time for long term projects, with so may other demands on your time. Thanks. A lot of hours have gone into it so far. Th...

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

In reference to the pic you posted of your end stop, my Ender uses the exact same end stop as your CR-10. All the way down to the circuit board and mount. It makes sense that Creative uses the same components for their entire line of printers.

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

Here is the a shot of the bottom side. The one chip shown there does the USB to Serial communications for the board. Since my board did not have any proper solder mask, it was a bugger to get soldered on properly. At the top of the board are the traces that handle the current for the heated bed and ...

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

Been a busy week. I haven't had much time to put towards my 3D printing projects. Thankfully its the weekend again, so I'm back. You asked about my printer I was making, I've attached a few pictures of it here. I need to look in my work shop to find the opto endstops I made. They weren't with the re...

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

...3D printers are a constant volume devices. Meaning the volume of plastic passing by the extruder is equal to the volume of plastic being ejected out of the nozzle. Their velocities however are different. But by changing the nozzle diameter, you can change the velocity of the plastic ejecting out...

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

Wow! At last an intelligent discussion on 3D printers...thanks for sticking with me! (...a lot of the chat on the Creality forum is very low level, maybe there is a better forum I should be following) Several years ago I started to build myself a 3D printer. It was roughly based off of a Mendle Max...

Re: Bed Leveller (3D Printer Assistant)

This project is coming along. Here are some of the updates I've done since last beta. I nearly have my clean function ready to enable. My printer has been busy all day so I haven't had a chance to prove out that code yet. So I've kept that section REM'd out for now. I've forced a minimal size for fM...

Re: 3D printer bed leveling

Earlier this year, I did a few tests with my printer where I compared results with the the nozzle-to-bed gap set to 2, 3 & 4 thou. I was printing with a 0.4mm nozzle and a layer height of 0.2mm. My printer seemed to print OK with a 3 thou gap, but when set to 2thou, the first layer was smeared ...
