MK3 print can i improve quality ?
Hi,
I assembled my printer last week and calibrated it.
Can you tell me if my benchy is good or if i need to check something.
Thank.
Re: MK3 print can i improve quality ?
they look quite good. Kevin.
the wording on the Transom is a bit indistinct and there is a bit of ringing on the hull...
Chances are that if you slowed the print down a little these would improve
what are your belt tensions like.? the belts may loosen slightly in the first week or two, so might be worth checking at a later date.
Now it's time to start designing and printing your own items 😀
regards Joan

Thank for your response.
Right now the belt seems good, i'm going recheck the belt tension after few prints.
I have already retighten the screw for the backplate of E axis.
Maybe retighten screw on axis X Y Z motors ? or print hards feet.
I buyed Lithium grease for the pulley of E axis, Silicone grease for threaded rods on Z, Ptfe oil for the others rods.

Looks like you are getting things sorted...
I saw some parts which attach to the base and screw to the workbench, possibly the ultimate hard feet...
I haven't done this on my Mk3, as it sits on my dining room table at the moment... 😯

That's how electric fires arise!
People forget to tighten the plinth screws properly 😯

Re: MK3 print can i improve quality ?
Initialy i see that when i open the box.
Re: MK3 print can i improve quality ?
Ouch! That sucks...
Hope you can fix this without having to replace the board!
On another note - thanks for posting the video showing the belt tension.
To me this looks too tight, by a good margin. I would say that puts way too much stress on the motors and parts.
But it's really hard to know what is the right tension, and also hard to describe in the manual.
@Joan - with your experience, how do you see that?
Re: MK3 print can i improve quality ?
Hi,
I received a new card by the support.
So all is right.
Re: MK3 print can i improve quality ?
That electrical fault is quite worrying. How common is it and what has happened?

Re: MK3 print can i improve quality ?
Looks like assembly error, screw not fully tightened and/or cable not fully inserted. The prongs of the cable shoe are quite thin, if the cable is not seated correctly it will have a too hogh resistance and heat up
Actually amazing service that Prusa sends spare parts like that
Re: MK3 print can i improve quality ?
wires for heaters really want to be tight. glad the melting stopped there
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.
