..In the process of trying to get it working I have broken one or two of the plasic parts and would like to print some replacements.(or to be more precice find someone to print them for me)
Quote
I am confused about all the different file types!
Quote
I have downloaded some files from GitHub with .STL extension which I can view in a 3D viewer and identify the parts I need.
Quote
Pronterface will aparently open .STL files but if I try to open it I get an error referring to Skeinforge:
Quote
OpenSCAD can export in STL format (I have done this with one of the example files) However, for some reason, although it has a .stl extension it does not appear in the file-open dialog from Pronterface! In fact it doesn't even appear in File Explorer though it does appear in the save dialog of OpenSCAD!

I am begining to get rather frustrated with this machine, and if I don't get it working soon I will be throwing it in the bin with over £500 and three years' work wasted!!

I got a lot of spares with the used ormerod1 I bought from Mario, would be happy to see those parts put to good use, postage will be very low (<100gram = letter postage)

For slicing before printing you only need the stl format

I find it easier to identify the parts by the support documentation ormerod 1 page at reprappro
[reprappro.com]
The in the documentation printed parts should link to github directly but the link is now broken, the individual parts seem to be moved, did a search but can't find them, can anyone provide a link please? (to the github....ormerod 1 design files\Ormerod-1.0\stl\individual parts)

Pronterface is the official front-end for the ormerod and the slicing program Slic3r, any calls for a path to Skeinforge must be because you have installed that program instead
You could re-install the original package (pronterface with slic3r integrated) but I would recommend that you keep those two programs separated - will give you more control and understanding of the processes - use slic3r to slice the *.stl, transfer the sliced files to sd-card and only use pronterface to run the printer

I do not know much about 3d design but have managed to export and print out stl's from OpenScad so it should work, try to feed the file to slic3r directly instead - a faulty file should return a "file empty" fault (here's an example of a renamed jpg to stl file)

..The parts I am looking for are the 'z-bearing-clamp' (2 off). These clamp the x-axis to the linear bearings on the Z axis. I think I can see one at the extreme bottom right of Ormerod168's picture

I obviously tightened the screws too tight and they have pulled through the holes, splitting the block!

I will very liely take you up (if you still have them) Please feel free to PM me

Regarding the problem with Pronterface and Skeinforge I re-installed Pronterface and it now works fine! I can now print OpenSCAD files (theoretically!!)
Quote
.. because nanny Microsoft wouldn't let me save it in the 'Program Files' folder!

Thank you very much, Erik, for your very kind offer to buy the machine back from me. However, with your help and encouragement I will persivere a little longer.

...Believe this is the right link, mentions 384 and the commit message final update before Ormerod 2 release
[github.com] It has the printed duet enclosure, which the newer kits didn't use as it became a metal box.

Peter,
You have my sympathy.
My Ormerod 1 also fell to bits before I'd got many prints from it. The detail design & build quality was very poor - it was almost designed to fail.

Well, you can criticise the design, but as it is supplied as a kit, the blame for the build quality falls entirely on the builder!

No luck yet @PeterSimpson! I managed to get my bed reasonably level and figure out "Z-home"... I managed to print the perimeter of the Z-trap, but I can't seem to extrude beyond that... it makes all the motions but the hotend stops extruding after a couple laps around the part. I'm thinking that maybe my nozzle is clogged, or there's something amiss with my extruder.

Dave, what Extruder do you use? Did you try to raise the printing temperature or the Extruder motor current?
