I have just received the parts for my 2 extruders. Upon examination of the instructions on how to build the extruder there appear to be a lot of assumptions about knowing how all the parts fit together. Is it possible that the instructions be redone showing the addition on no more than one part at a time so that anyone can assemble the extruder. My reason for requesting this is that I have just spent 30 minutes playing "tinker toys" with the parts to see if I could position them so that they looked like the pictures are. "VERRY INTERESTING" results at times ( old laugh-in tv program reference from the 1980's ). If we want anyone to put this together from a given set of parts then the instructions need to be "bullet proof". As it is now there are a lot of questions being asked by me about this. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,8260,8260#msg-8260 Thu, 14 May 2026 22:30:30 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,8260,8389#msg-8389 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,8260,8389#msg-8389
I am hopeful tomorrow I will be extruding plastic with the help of the Houston RepRap Users Group, including RoundSparrow.

Thanks for posting that mistake. I'm about to do my nichrome wire with JB Weld and I'm pretty sure I would have done the same thing. Good to be reminded.

1. Take an omhs reading.
Depending on this I will
a. Let it go if I am very close or right on 8 omhs.
b. Check for how hard the JB weld got today to see if I could rescue some of the wire from under the glue.
c. Check to see if I could increase the voltage. I may have some extra MOSFETs laying around that might be just what I need. On the plug-in hybrid project we ran into trouble using Darlington transistors because of their fall off value, so we went to MOSFET with much better results.
D. Suck it up and go to Home Depot and to our local "EPO" (Electric Parts Outlet) to get what I need. Return home to use the drill press and start over.]]> Anonymous User General Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:46:57 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,8260,8339#msg-8339 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,8260,8339#msg-8339

By the way, I'm feeling a bit old right now for knowing that Laugh-In aired in the late 60s. Also having flashbacks of a 20-something Goldie Hawn in a bikini. :-)]]> degroof General Thu, 10 Jan 2008 08:44:00 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,8260,8260#msg-8260 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,8260,8260#msg-8260 If we want anyone to put this together from a given set of parts then the instructions need to be "bullet proof".
