Noise cancelling Chiron Y-axis

I want to be able to run my Chiron during night-time, but my neighbours tries to sleep at that time of day. I have put a lot of effort into making the printer silent. The controller-fan and power-supply-fan now run slower and only when needed, I…

How to get less Z-seam?

I printed this Curvy vase from Thingiverse and it came out pretty well on my Chiron. However, I am not happy with the Z-seam that is very large. When I look at other people's problems with this, they often seem to have too little filament at the…

Why are fast printed lines thinner?

I have run the K-factor Calibration Pattern generator to tune LIN_ADVANCE and found that when K=0, the whole middle part of the line is thinner. I was expecting that LIN_ADVANCE would only make a difference short after where the speed was increased…

I've been trying to find a solution to a problem I've been having recently whereby the bottom layers of my print (1.2 mm; 12 layers) are either being compressed. over extruded or both. The problem results in the nozzle being dragged through…

Test print coming out spongy

I acquired an Anycubic Chiron yesterday. I went through the leveling procedure and I think the level test print came out okay so I printed a 20 mm calibration cube and a benchy. Both of these came out with a sort of spongy consistency. I have no…

Marlin: Why is the extruder stepper jerking?

Environment: Printer: Anycubic Chiron, Firmware: Marlin 2.0.7.2, Settings: FWRETRACT is not enabled, Slicer: Cura 4.8.0. When I print using the code below (it is longer, but I do not know where to put attachments), I can see that the extruder-gear…

3D Printer keeps pausing during prints

I have used this 3D printer for over a year now and I just now started running into this problem. It is an Anycubic Chiron with no mods or anything custom added. It is placed in a cabinet my dad and I built to keep the heat in during the winter. The…

Calibration of Y-axis produces different results on single model with different length even after E-step calibration

TL;DR; If I calibrate my Y-axis steps/mm based on the long side of the model shown below, the calibration cube part is printed too big. If I calibrate the steps/mm based on the calibration cube part, the long side of the model comes out too short.…

Levelling issue with Anycubic Chiron

I can't get anything from my printer since I change filament (I always use PLA from SUNLU). I changed the nozzle, redo the leveling... Every time now, the nozzle seems way to close to the bed and the PLA just stick to the nozzle and not the bed. I…

3D Printer does not print whole object

Just took delivery of a massive Anycubic Chiron to my house and have been trying to get it printing successfully for supplies for fellow clinic staff. For some reason, it is only printing a portion of the test shape that Cura is putting out. I am…

AnyCubic Chiron shifting in Y axis

I have an AnyCubic Chiron, and sometimes the bed doesn't move correctly. This causes the prints to shift and ruins the print. I've spent a lot of time watching it, and noticed that when this happens, the belt stops moving for a short period of…

Anycubic Chiron homing issue

The Anycubic Chiron is the third 3D printer I’ve owned, so I’m fairly familiar with the inner workings of them. The problem occurs when I home the Z-axis. Once the Z-axis sensor gets triggered, the Z-axis motors should stop. However, Instead of…

Moving bed Y-axis belt keeps skipping after replacement

I replaced my belt that had snapped and tightened it with the tension adjuster. Now, either the tension is too tight to allow the Y-axis belt motors to move the bed, or otherwise, the bed skips at some point during the print at least once,…

How do I make the layers stick together more and warp less?

I have a Chiron from Anycubic and I have had some leveling issues in the last few weeks, however, I believe that I have sorted that. The layers attached to the base plate or the raft now come out very weird and I am uncertain why. I heard that this…
