my name is Philipp and I’m located in bavaria, 37 years old and I have zero experience with cnc. Came across the LR 4 in the woodworker forum and @Tokoloshe who presented his build there. I have some experience in 3d printing with my Ender V2 and in general woodworking as hobby.
I just ordered the hardware kit, jackpot controller and XY plates over the v1 shop. I’m still not sure which size my LR4 will have but i think 1250mm x 1800mm roughly.
I upgraded my printer to the flashforge adventurer 5 pro and will start printing the parts soon. Are there any further suggestions about the prints? At printables.com I did’nt find much information.
@twh344 shared information about printed parts in his thread, but printed in petg, I want to print most parts in PLA.
That’s it for the moment. Thanks to the community for this awesome project and the help I’ll need in the future
reduce your first layer speed to about half. some people are having first layer adhesion issues ( its totally random) other than that, if you did the klipper mod make the calilantern tests. happy printing and the best of the luck with your lr4
Hey Philipp (another one!!), nice of you to see you here. 37 is a good age to start with a CNC, so did I. As Ryan mentioned: the docs have all the information you need regarding the infill etc. PLA is also the recommended material.
Thank you guys. I’ve read the documentation but in another thread I’ve read that somewhere a 0.6 nozzle is recommended for some parts and stuff like that. That’s why I thought there are more advices out there.
But I will use the info that I’ve found so far.
No, any nozzle is fine. Sometimes I list me exact settings but nothing is that sort of critical. Anything important is listed. Any nozzle, recommended infill at least, 2-3 walls is good.
I didn’t start the CNC road trip unit I was 57 with MPCNC Primo. I just about finished my 2 month LR4 project (I probably could have done in in hours, not months) LOL HOWEVER, the best advice I can give having just gone through the build myself is READ THE DOCS then read them again challenging yourself to identify that which you missed during the first reading. Simple things that cause issues are the ones we tend to overlook. Best thing is everyone here is willing to give a hand when needed (couldn’t have done this without all their input and help.)
Follow the yellow brick road… then worry about customization.
just don’t know how the tolerances are for the parts and I recognized that the holes are not as good and the overhang of the screw holes seems not right.
For a lot of parts I have seen used and abused around here just fine, yours look pretty damn good to me. I wouldn’t worry about that little bit at all.
As Ryan mentioned: the docs have all the information you need regarding the infill etc. PLA is also the recommended material.
