3D Printers: Discussion, Accessories, 3D Models
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Features
Anycubic Mega-S is the successor to the popular Mega i3 printer with updated components that allow you to print flexible materials. It also has an integrated coil holder for a more compact look.
Features:
- Upgraded extruder capable of printing flexible parts with TPU filament
- Ultrabase's innovative heated 3D printing platform makes it very easy to remove parts after cooling. Details will have a nice smooth bottom surface.
- Integrated one-piece filament holder for smoother material delivery and compact placement. The newest V5 nozzle that makes printing accurate and fast. The risk of clogging is greatly reduced.
- Simple assembly. The printer was mainly pre-assembled at the factory and tested within 24 hours. Assembly is only 8 screws and three cables, and you are ready to go. The kit even includes 1 kg of filament.
- Dual Z-axis sensors make calibration more accurate
- Durable aluminum profile frame. A stiffer frame results in more accurate printing.
- Simple navigation and quick response on a TFT color touch screen. It has a multilingual menu and a wide range of software options.
- Resume printing after power loss. A useful feature, especially for large print models.
- Intelligent temperature control system. It provides a temperature in the range of 2 В° C from its parameters to prevent the random effect of thermal acceleration.

Problems and solutions
  • The printer's table does not heat up well; it does not heat up more than 100 degrees.
    As a temporary solution, you can use the desktop insulation and an additional tool to improve the adhesion of plastic, which will allow you to print at lower temperatures. The problem is solved by replacing the table under warranty.
  • Nozzle clogged.
    Solution: you can clean it with a special drill to clean the nozzles. Or,assistantsby methods.
    And to prevent blockages - you need to hang on the filament rod -filterfilled with pieces of sponge and other suitable materials.
  • The screen lights up if you manually move the carriage or table, with the printer turned off.
    No solution required, normal behavior.
  • The cover of the table is peeled off / the table is not even / there are bumps and / or cavities that prevent printing.
    Solution: demand to send a new warranty table from sellers. As a temporary solution, you can try to turn it over with the other side, replace the cover with another glass / mirror, etc.
  • Heat the contacts of the transition connector of the print head.
    Solution: Immediately install a fixing cable holder (for example,such) and / or pour the slot of the thermoclaim. If the contacts have already burned down - Repair is describedhere.
  • The nozzle / thermal bounds are formed / the particles of superheated plastic are formed.
    Solution: Going away Hotend. Assembly is describedhere.
  • Do not clean the aluminum part of the table from the standard ultrabase glue.
    Solution: Try to a hot (110g) to pass spray degreaser based on nephyres and isopropyl alcohol. Also a proven method - remover of adhesive tape on the basisD-Limonen.

I suggest you experiment ... Take some tablet for 120t.r. for example, iPad Pro 12.9, roll as you said on a centimeter strip, put it on the edge of the table and let the child look at the cartoons so that he switches

where does the iPad. you have chinese mi.

Yes, and iPad garbage. it doesn’t even launch a crisis.

* clawhammer2007 Well, you have gotten to a person! The man did a thing that he personally needs! Designing it he received a buzz! From what happened. (I think the author is far from special in the development of programs in 3D modeling and study on this) and he shared his creation with members of this forum. This is bad? Well, do not like you .. Skip by. I just welcome such comrades! (Such a fool himself) like it would have done something, and think, let me share. And someone there is a critic that you are about., .. Sat. And this critic, besides receiving information from the forum and habit those who offer something? What suggested? Make your project! And I think this dispute personally, I must close! And the author of the project will not succumb to provocations! You are a guy well done! We behave further yourself. Create and share! WELL DONE!

Colleagues, please measure the resistance of the off and cold table. I got 1 ohm, directly to its contacts, without wires.



Rep: (32)
guys, save, everything is bad.
in principle, the printer prints normally, but recently, suspicious sounds began to come from it.
printed a vase and with a diagonal movement a sound of groaning metal appeared. and very noticeable. previously unnoticed at least.
I decided to align the table, I thought maybe it would help, so the center above the edges is a couple of mm.
and on the test print there are diagonal gaps.

what could be? curved rods? I checked the table with a ruler as shown in the video, it seems normal. but hell knows these Chinese rulers.

It can earn extra money on the Z-axis. It happens on my first layers.



Rep: (48)
* clawhammer2007, maybe a crooked table. Check it, maybe somewhere from the edges peeled off. I have a problem - the far right corner has peeled off from the metal substrate, and also the center of the table is either slightly lower or slightly higher than the edges. I described the problem on the Anycubic website, in the after sale section - they sent a new table. You have gaps in the model on one side only, and just on it, it seems, I see a metal clip.

Akarui @ 03/18/19, 11:08*
maybe a crooked table.

when aligning the nozzle, the difference in distance to the table is clearly visible, and when checking with a ruler, it seems to be exactly.
so I think that can curve rods on the X axis ...

and the clamps were upon purchase. it seems that then they stopped putting them.
the picture seems to clearly show that the gaps go diagonally in both directions ..

so the center above the edges is a couple mm

You shoot on video that if you center the edges in a sheet, the center will already scratch the table and safely send it to the support. Will send a new table
Only in the video it is desirable to immediately show that the distances along the racks are the same, as at the beginning of the video with full calibration from the header and it is desirable to do this with a barbell

I ordered a multimeter, I'll try to measure today.
Max-gulyash @ 03/18/19, 12:24*
Will send a new table

it seems to me that the problem is not on the table, the ruler does not show any irregularities.

and the terrible sounds of moaning metal from what can be? highlighted the site where they occur.

I have a similar one when printing an arc line. I myself want to clean all the guides and running gears and grease them with Hilti gel-gel (200-300rub tube).

immediately look at your own resistance of the probes. I had it about 0.3 ohms.

I did not disconnect the wires. It’s necessary to disassemble, it turned out 1.5 and the probes themselves are also + -0.3. But the Chinese multimeter for 200r, I think that lies in everything.

is this taking into account 0.3? Or is it displayed cleanly?

Good lubrication? So far I have only smeared a couple from Mannol (NLGI 2) ... I was lying in the workshop under the machine tools. It is written that it is suitable for guides and bearings. Thick, black, similar to lithium.

So. According to measurements of 3 people - me and respected* max-gulyash and * clawhammer2007, it turns out that the resistance of the working, factory table of this printer is ~ 1 Ohm, already adjusted for the resistance of the multimeter probes when measured directly on the table contacts (between 1 and 2-3).

Good day to everyone, I recently purchased MEGA-S, it seems like I’m satisfied with everything, I solve the problems that appear on arrival and it seems like everything is solved), it's a pity there is no specialized community forum (only a thread in this forum) (or I did not find) to share experience and everyone else.

I ask you to suggest more experienced:

1) this model has a table with improved adhesion, but jambs with a tear-off of the model while printing are still there for various reasons (is it worth using third-party tools or do you still have to dig into the settings)

2) share with links to sites of 3D models

3) who uses which program to create models of, which is better for beginners (easier to learn 3D modeling) (free, paid)

4) for the MEGA-S version, in addition to the tool stand, is it worth installing and printing, changing, adding cooling, any upgrades, or is the model self-sufficient for 99%?

5) not fundamentally, but did anyone Russify the firmware?

6) describe the differences in plastics which is better to take and why?

7) is it harmful to print at a speed of 100% for a printer?

P.S. Many thanks to the topic author for the detailed topic and description of the printer, and to all Formans who contribute to the discussion !!!

the table sticks when heated and sticks when cooled. I’ve already had a month and the entire default coil has been spent and everything with adhesion is excellent.
I’m waiting with horror when I have to shamanize everything on the Internet with varnish and a mix from abs X's
Mrjek @ 03/19/19, 04:26*
2) share with links to sites of 3D models

3dtoday.ru here seems to be a living community, but the site is uncomfortable PPC.
I use these with models, the rest that looked have a cool design

I don’t rummage in the editors, but after a couple of days seeing what and how I stopped at fuzhn 360. there is nothing superfluous and adtsky complicated in it + free license.

5) not fundamentally, but did anyone Russify the firmware?

what for? there are 3 buttons why the heck is there Russian? to get confused in the guides? O_o and so like dns Russified.

100% speed is where it come from connect the printer to your computer and there will be normal settings in mm / s.
