Comment on Update : fixed stripy bands and quality issues in vase mode

The lack of banding and wobble is excellent, especially compared to where you came from. You’ve got me thinking about a new extruder. I’ve got some no name aluminum extruder setup right now, but I’ve put enough abrasive filament through that it’s made all my filament paths oblong.
Nice work!

I really like the orbiter 2.5. it’s not as light as the nimble but it is still tiny. I like that it is open source and they really have thought to put a bunch of engineering in to the gear workings instead of just using clone bonditech gears. It cost, like, 48 USD to get from AliExpress and is definitely high quality.
Thh Hero Me mount seamed like a good choice as well. It was a huge pain in the a$$ to assemble tho, not that I am complaining. The way it mounts to the carriage means you can’t just assemble and mount (at least with my old tronxy carriage plate). The included adapter design that comes in the file package didn’t quite work correctly and I didn’t realize that until I was all disassembled. There is a magnet mount version that would probably have been a better option. I’ll probably print one to have as a spare if I ever need to disassemble the mount. Other then the mounting tho I really like the design and thought that went into it by mediaman.

I did print myself a herome mount and everything awhile back. Added dual fans and whatnot, I was having a terrible time with petg surface quality, the dual fans helped a lot. I also had to reassemble my hotend to reprint something I messed up lol.
I’m at the point now where I’ve replaced so much on my ender that it doesn’t really look like the machine I bought, except that it’s still i3.
I’ll check out the orbiter, thanks!
