This blog is a place to collect notes to be worked up into a Tips post for trubleshooting 3-d Printer problyms.

The idea is to list a symptom with a photograph and list sucsful fix actions to try.

 

 

For Example:

Printer: Printerbot LC

Material: ABS

Notes: Extruder temp 230C, Bed temp 110C, Fan on 100%,Polymide (Kapton) on a glass bed 

Problym: Poorly formed vertical edges, Keystoning (wider at the top then the bottom)

i raised the the print bed so the Y belt no longer drags on the frame.  I replaced the glass with aluminum covered with kaption on both sides.

It  works worlds better.
