So I have about 20 hours of print now, I can say it's working fine. I managed to fix most of the problems I found.
I also did a 8 hours non-stop printing as a stress test to the printer. Everything when fine, except I notice those :
- The belt are slipping. No mather how hard I tight them, the belt+screw will turn and they will loose. I noticed that since at about the end of the print, I saw that there was some wierd move when changing direction. At the end of the print, I checked the belt and they were loose. At first, I was thinking it was just "normal", belt get extension... but then I notice that on the top, my "U" was now pretty small... almost out.
-- I'll try to add something to "squeeze" them more. But I'm also thinking of another design, so they dont slip and also a belt tensioner would be nice. This is pretty nice ( [www.thingiverse.com] ), but I'm not sure it would be working since we need to move it on the other side, might not be as solid... dont know.
- Dont thight the spring too much, dosent need that much force and will eat the plastic if you do (not that bad, but it does).
- Try to align the miniwheel so they fit prefectly into the extrusion slow. I had one not straight and the will got eated by the extrusion (But still functionnal).
