hi everyone, did a print overnight last night - was a bit nervous letting it run by itself i changed the setting in repetier to turn off the heater and motors when the job finsihed. i made sure there was plenty of filiment available (haven't got a fancy holder yet). is there any other things you normally do to get a good print / stop the house burning down ? regards, roger https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,164881#msg-164881 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:37:08 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,167253#msg-167253 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,167253#msg-167253 rogerw General Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:55:42 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,167250#msg-167250 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,167250#msg-167250 -------------------------------------------------------

I'm guessing your wife doesn't read this forum? :)]]> Wired1 General Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:46:36 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,167152#msg-167152 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,167152#msg-167152 came back this morning and as i approached the office door (office is outside connected to my shed - very civilised) I could hear the machine still printing, Ohhh ohhh it can't be still printing after 6 hours. It was my wife on the treadmill (didn't even know she knew we had a treadmill).
Not sure who got the biggest fright/surprise. :)]]> rogerw General Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:20:22 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,165424#msg-165424 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,165424#msg-165424 An SD card is just a memory stick or ram-disk.

Invest in a smoke detector, and fire extinguisher.
3. Keep the extinguisher accessible, but not too close to that which might catch fire.
4. Sleep under the table.]]> jcabrer General Wed, 07 Nov 2012 17:10:44 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,164881#msg-164881 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,164881,164881#msg-164881 did a print overnight last night - was a bit nervous letting it run by itself
