Yes, strange. I sent them a message.
About the fan issue, maybe the fan is the problem. When i send M106 command, it wants to move, gets an impulse, like 1/10 of a turn or something, then stops.

Hello Experts,
Since the current topic appears to be related to calibration...
I never got the Auto-Z-Probe to work properly, and had a few instances when the z-probe unexpectedly engaged in the middle of a print.
So, when I switched over to the E3D Hot-end, I removed the Z-probe altogether, and ended up manually calibrating the print-bed (mounted on springs) as much as I could.
Now after getting the Extrusion and Retraction settings all golden, I'm getting very decent prints.
The other day when I was browsing thingiverse, I found this:
[www.thingiverse.com]
Has anyone tried the above by any chance on this Sintron setup?

AFAIR, FSRs do not like heat. Regular FSR's usually can handle PLA temps (<60C), but nor more. They likely will not be damaged, but readings will be inaccurate.Quote

BTW, I also saw some FSRs at my local Microcenter, so I picked them up. They had exactly 3 of them However, since I need to do quite a bit of work before that setup works, I have refrained from taking up that challenge yet.

I stopped using the auto deploy feature because I had a feeling it was loosening the Z belt when it was ramming the L probe part over and over to auto deploy. Multiply this by the number of prints I did in a day and I didnt want to take a chance. I also removed the plastic spring holder. It would get loose to often and lose tension on the spring.

anyone try printing with taulmann Bridge nylon on the kossel. I am going to buy some filament since I want an indestructable part. My kids break all of the PLA and ABS toys I make them.

ABS can be cured with acetone to make it durable like LEGO.
Don't keep the acetone in kids range

Hi everybody. Here's a video of what happens with the Sintron supplied rods, the ends rub against each other -> Click here. Sintron support insists that they don't interfere.
Those steel rods have a lot of play, they're not as stiff as the carbon tube + traxxas ends, wich i recently switched to.
