Greetings from Blaustein

[TitusADuxass]

I just thought I'd say hello.

I'm a 62yr old teenager, originally British now German. Based in Blaustein/Ulm.

I have a V2.4 running BTT Manta M8P, CB1, SB2209, TAP. I still tuning this, I'm getting +/- 0.15mm accuracy and would like to tweak it more. I'm thinking of ditching the TAP and Steathburner and going with an Orbiter and Microprobe setup.

I'm building a V0.1 Fystec kit (Manta M5P, CB1, Oribiter v2.0, EBB36)

And I have yet to finish Frankenstein - my Artillery Genius upgraded mongrel

I mainly print ABS, ABS+ and ASA. I absolutely hate PTEG and have never printed with PLA. Speed printing does not interest me, I would rather wait and have a good result.

I've never printed a Benchy

Welcome to the forum!

You're getting +/- 0.15 on the Tap zeroing? I'd check all your bolts. It should be better than that.

Welcome... I would say... get a Beacon probe. Once you experience the following... you'll be sold. BTW... The image is correct... 22403 probe points in under 20 seconds. Full bed scan X2.

100% Agree. I am in the process of planning to convert all. my printers to beacon. The only drawback - expensive if you are converting 6 printers. Well worth it though!

No, my bad. I could have written it better (25yrs in Germany has polluted my English).

A 20mm test cube comes out at 20,15 all round.

Interesting, would the beacon probe run over my CB1 or does it require a RPi?

You will need a USB port to plug it into. On a CB1 you will need the pi adapter.

Thanks.

I'll give beacon a miss.

I am pretty sure that on the Manta M5P and the M8P you have access to a pair of USB2.0 ports. Others have got the Beacon 3D working with a Manta but it might take a little work applying RPI based tutorials to the CB1..

Yes, both the M5P and M8P have USB 2.0 ports.
