Again, thats one of the reasons i canceled membership today :/ No Clear part description or some form of guide. Even if a second part is needed u dont read it in the description.

Your going to need to explain the purpose and how to use. It's to test clearance..... of what exactly? How would I use this thing unless it's just a fidget spinner... LOL

Are u just acting stupid? It is to test your Printer's accuracy/tolerance, to see how tight of tolerances you can print stuff like the snaps... It's not that hard to understand lmao

I think the big consensus here is how does this information get applied to building out your Multiboard. Not everyone is experienced with 3D Printing. With the newer printers, like those from Bambu Lab, the barrier to entry dropped significantly. If Multiboard is to target these users then that level of entry needs to be kept in mind. Descriptions, communications, and guides need to be more comprehensive and without a bias towards "you have a 3d printer you should know all this"

Why is there no feature on this site to block "people" like you?

Just because Bambu printers are more reliable does not mean people still do not need to know how to use one.

Stupid is being rude to someone who asks a legitimate question. You are stupid. And rude.

I am still confused on this, mine slides all the way to the top, flush with the top but does not come off. What does that mean?

means your good. your tolerances are spot on. now you know how big a crack must be for a peice to still move when printed

Ok, I'm newbie here... Downloaded and printed this blindly. When printed, the base has to be loose, and the more the base goes up, better tolerance your printer has. If the base even doesn't is free at end of the printing, that means your printer cannot print the multiboard pieces.

Can you please clarify the use in the description? The "ring" on my print can reach the top, but not come off. I saw a photo of somebody else's print with the ring removed. If I can cover all of 0.15mm, but not remove the ring, do I have .2mm of clearance, or .15mm?

Thanks!

I guess if you can cover 0.15mm, then you know that if you want a tight fit between parts you have to add a 0.15mm space between the parts to be able to fit them together. If you make a 0.10mm space you can't insert one part into the other. If you make a 0.20mm space it will be loose (which can have its applications, for example, for a gliding fit.)

If someone is able to remove, then either the printer is underextruding or very well calibrated.

im cancelling subscription too. I mean I really like this whole system but it's confusing as hell. no descriptions, and and this is a total mess. I think you should hire someone to organize all this in a well cleared structure, then its all good.

They're making huge changes. They have a great system. It takes time or money to create all of these product and a web site. Be patient with the time and benefit from what you can until the rest catches up. Nothing is perfect. Patience, grasshopper.

Someone help me out here. What is the purpose of the card? I get the tower, but I don't understand the card

When printing the Multiboard Demo Pack I noticed that the moderate load snap inserts and the large and medium threaded screws had a lot of play. Then I downloaded this model to test tolerances. The result: I can just barely release the ring, at the very top there is some friction. Now how do I interpret this? Is the ring designed to show the actual tolerance and my print is be perfect? Or does it show deviations from the Multiboard 0.25mm clearance standard and my print is loose?

I am new here and returning to 3D printing after a few years away. Man has things changed with hardware. But the thing that is the most noticeable is how NO ONE seems to want to answer a question in a clear and applicable fashion! This was not the case in the early days!! And yes, I wish I could as this tower applies to Multiboard. Does Multiboard have spec minimum in order for things to interface correctly?

like you I'm returning to 3d printing and require some way of soring my tools. I Did cheat a little and ask Gemini to which i got a very useful answer with no venom. So for us wanting to be helpful types I have an answer, Unfortunately its to long to get in a post here!

From what I understand it will tell you if you are over extruding, the sweet spot is 0.25 tolerance. You might need to reduce the flow by 1 or 2% or look at horizontal expansion. Here is some useful info:
Standard (0.25mm) fits perfectly - "Use the ""Standard"" or ""Normal"" files." 0.25mm is too tight - "Use the ""Loose"" versions of snaps and bolts." 0.25mm is too loose - "Use the ""Tight"" versions of snaps and bolts." Use as you see fit!

Thank you for you feedback. Only being a month into 3D printing, I too use Gemini & ChatGPT to help give me print settings. I know I'm not fully learning everything right away, but at least its getting be nice quality prints without the huge failures and wasting filament on large overnight prints.

I love this, but wish that: a) there was a 'negative' option, or extended option with negative values, in cases where current clearance are high and the ring slips fully off. b) there was corner reliefs so that imperfect corners don't cause a bad measurement. c) it was a bit more compact and used less filament, mainly the ring

Is it also possible to print all the multiboard parts with a 0.6 nozzle or is this to big for clearance and what are the optimized settings for this do you know?

J

Hi, I have printet succesfully with .6 nozzle with .2 mm layer height.

Jerome B

Were you able to print using a .6 nozzle? I was planning to switch to this nozzle size for faster printing on the tiles.
