ello,
Back in 2012 I built a Reprap Mendal but for reasons long forgotten it was covered with a sheet and has sat there ever since.
I completed the build but never got round to commisioning it.I have found doing so now frought with problems.
There are so many contradictory peices of information in the years since then that have presented quite a few problems.
I have managed to work my way through but have been unable to get beyond the software setup.
The main reason for this is There appear to be no profile for the Mendal in the current software.
I thought I would download a Linux based torrent from the RepRap Project Activity site.(https://sourceforge.net/p/reprap/activity/?page=0&limit=100#607924e90f81f8b46970f68c)
I chose these :
The RepRap Project The RepRap Project released /OldFiles/LiveCD/0.7/ReprapLiveDVD-0.7-src.torrent
The RepRap Project The RepRap Project released /OldFiles/LiveCD/0.6/ReprapLiveDVD-0.6.iso.torrent
The RepRap Project released /OldFiles/LiveCD/0.4/ReprapLiveCD-0.4.iso.torrent
My thinking was I had more chance of success running software via a live linux cd or dvd from the same year as my Mendel(2012)
I am assuming I had problems with windows and more recent software due to the age of my Reprap Mendal.
I found I was unable to download the torrent files due to the Bittorent tracker for them coming via the "piratebay.org" website.
This is due to it being "blocked" by a High court injunction many years ago.
Therfore i need to find another way of obtaining the torrents in question.
Alternative sites/sources or different trackers seem like the most realistic option.
Unless I can get access to the torrents I suspect my printer will remain unusable.
