Back after a long break Hey guys, Just wanted to say I'm back to 3d printing after a long break, and it is a pleasure to see that nophead is still here helping out. My Mendel90 is working ok, thanks to some TLC from a friend who borrowed it for a while. Having problems getting the first layer to stick, but I'll figure it out. -jeff https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880559#msg-880559 Fri, 15 May 2026 06:42:25 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880839#msg-880839 Re: Back after a long break https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880839#msg-880839 Bearded Flyer Mendel90 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 05:43:15 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880634#msg-880634 Re: Back after a long break https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880634#msg-880634 nophead Mendel90 Sun, 17 Jan 2021 15:14:17 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880623#msg-880623 Re: Back after a long break https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880623#msg-880623
Now, years after buying the kit, I really appreciate how repairable the Mendel90 is! Thanks nophead!]]> jra Mendel90 Sun, 17 Jan 2021 11:14:09 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880601#msg-880601 Re: Back after a long break https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880601#msg-880601
Anyway, I'm now printing new motor mounts, and having good adhesion on the left but bad on the right. I tweaked the relative position of the two screws, crossing fingers that it will be enough.

Has anyone got a good fast to print, not much PLA wasted stl file for checking adhesion all around the plate?

I am both enjoying solving problems, but also remembering why 3d printing is not like 2d printing on an HP injket...]]> jra Mendel90 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:57:27 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880565#msg-880565 Re: Back after a long break https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880565#msg-880565 nophead Mendel90 Fri, 15 Jan 2021 12:03:59 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880559#msg-880559 Back after a long break https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,880559,880559#msg-880559
