Metric won't be a problem since I'm European. Dutch to be exact.

I'm reading on Replikeo's site that they now use injection molded parts (rather than 3D printed). That should improve quality considerably! Zippit if your's are molded post some pics pleas

Hi, i'm follow this topic about any days, because of this topic, I created courage and bought the Prusa i3 at Replikeo...

It was sent by DHL (Shipping $168.46 ) at Nov 17 (about 5 days), and the tracking code (CT307808002CN) still not posted, is this normal? Do anymore has the same problem?

I seen here on topic the Bratan no have update on tracking...

Someone built the Replikeo kit for 1.75mm filament? Does it works well with the geared extruder and hobbed-bolt?
I think most of you use the 3mm version.

Wow, my package arrived in my city, thank's @Replikeo, it was very fast, about 2 week, the DHL called me today to mark better hour... It came with tax from my country (+-$60, that's ok)...

But dont understood why it have other tax from DHL (+- $50), have anybody in here this tax from DHL too?

Hello guys,

I just finished printing of calibration cube 20mm and 0.5mm thin wall. Thin-wall looks perfect but 20mm cube is very bad (see attachment). Start where print is creating of object border is well but second layer is printed out of borders. Printer is calibrated, when I press 100mm for X,Y axis in pronterface it will move only 100mm. Bed Level is also calibrated, I can put paper under nozzle with resistance.Im using 0.4mm nozzle and 1.75mm filament. Temp. is 230C nozzle and 110C for bed. Y axis have default steps 80.40 becasue 80 will pull bed on 86.45mm. My printer is Replikeo Iron. Please help me. I tested almost all.

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80.40,4000,600}

Which axis are the layers shifting - X or Y?

On that axis, make sure it's easy to move by hand. Any binding will cause the stepper motor to stall.

If that's ok, check that stepper driver pot setting. I have mine a little under half way around. If it's too low, there won't be enough power for the motor. If it's too high, the driver and/or motor may be over-heating and shutting down briefly mid-print.

Failing those, Replikeo had mentioned some of the stepper motor connectors may have insufficient contact, resulting in not enough power being delivered to the motor. Their recommendation is to re-terminate the motor connector.
