Prusa is facing strong competition, more than they can handle, I suspect. It’s no surprise that a middle sized European company can’t beat the always rising power of the Chinese industry, if only in terms of labor cost and sourcing components.
If you were a regular on Prusa forums, as I’m...
If you want my biased opinion, forget about bambus, crealitys and other flashy Chinese stuff.
Build a Voron to get the real thing. ( I'm sure redbrickman will agree ;) ).
Did you purchase the tool or did you got a free download ?.
In the later case, AFAIK ,all the free downloaded versions are fakes and won't work,.They do what you describe : the screen appears but you won't be able to perform any operation. Don't ask me how I know it. :rolleyes:
It seems that...
Don't bother to look on Aliexpress because new and genuine QY6-0083 printheads are still currently available from reliable vendors. The best source depends on where you're located. As you own a TS-5150, I expect you're in Europe ?
If so, in the continent : eparts.fr (France ) and ceins.de...
Years ago, I used the Profile Prism software to make profiles using my scanner. Quality of the profiles ?. Mediocre at best, being indulgent. Too many variables at play: the color gamut and dynamic range varies a lot between different scanners. The spectral response of the paper to the scanner...
Many high temp. filaments as PC, ABS or PA, use little or no cooling fan, but those filaments are usually printed inside an enclosure to deal with warping. They also tend to be very sensitive to humidity so is not a good idea to keep the spools lying around, exposed to air moisture. The filament...
Two hotends, Nifty ? I see only one, fed by two Bowden extruders.
Do they use this setup to get more output or just to be able to mix different colors, if needed ? Your guess is as good as mine.
I wonder which kind of filament is this. As you can see, there’s no print fan, so it must be a stuff...
What kind of blinking do you have ... orange only or alternating between orange and green ?.
The first case (orange only) means operator error and can be fixed by the user.
On the second case it's service error and most of the times requires replacing a damaged component.
This has nothing to do with alignment issues. It’s partially clogged nozzles on the second stripes of cyan and magenta. These two channels have a smaller droplet size than the others, hence they’re more prone to clog if the machine hasn’t been used for some time, because ink may have dried...
That's a mighty and majestic statue. Your Buddha looks now a little thing, in comparison. :)
I've been trying to make one of these Moais for sometime, but other things came in the way. Maybe next month...
Those autoreset chips don't last forever. At some point, they start to fail and the ink level doesn't resets to full anymore, but to a lower level. Eventually, the chip dies and you see on screen a question mark and a message saying that ink level on one or more cartridges cannot be measured (...
Unless the info of your avatar isn't correct, you have a Canon 9000 MKii.
The Hat is right, there're no more new carts for this printer, not that Canon gone bankrupt but because they discontinued this model of printhead a few years ago.
You'll find plenty of "refurbished" Pro-9000mkii printheads...
We all change with age. Unfortunately nobody manufactures a calibration device able to restore our younger days. I bet that my current 'gamut' is much narrower than thirty tears ago.. :he
You’re right. I forgot that PFI carts didn’t start using pigment Lucia pigment inks until the PFI-105 series. PFI102-104 are dye, except for the MBK.
Thanks for the reminder.
PFI inks are pigmented. You shouldn't use those inks on CLI carts which use dye inks !. No wonder you have problems.
I advice to remove all the pigmented inks inside the CLI carts and flush them thoroughly. Consider yourself lucky if you can restore afterwards the nozzles of your printer to...
This seems to be an unexplored territory. AFAIK none of the regulars here owns these printers, so you'd have to be a pioneer and endure the foreseable mistakes... :rolleyes:
Have you searched on Youtube ?
As for a service manual, PeterBJ is the expert, but I suspect that the only place to look...
