agree E3DV6 is a very good hotend and no pain in ass. i would say MK8 type i have no issue on it, no blockage after i come up the way of using of course it troublesome to keep cleaning the throat with ABS but i will never say it's not good, I would say all hotend have good and bad and the only issue is how you use, that's all.

Ax, im sorry which you love Migbot so much, frankly i didn't find that one is a good piece as from time after time it will have problem which i have notice, as for the MK 8 extruder which come with it, i didn't have jam and use on daily base, this is the truth, E3D V6 i do have it and i also have the replica one, i really found no much different in them, for replica one you just need to do some work to make it better, I believe you have 4 migbot but i also have quite a number of different prusa from different company, which i'm testing on them, as for migbot if you use it for long you will see the acrylic frame slowly bend as it using is a recycle type of acrylic and also when you printing ABS, the heat bed holder will bend, i'm not a designer but i just a product tester, i have 5 prusa from different company, and some other type which i'm doing testing, my experience is not only on one type. this forum is not going to be rude to anyone, it's to share experience with everyone, in order to help each other grow in knowledge that's all. we can't force anyone to use what product, we only suggest and see whether the knowledge you share will help them a not. that's all and not pin point anyone. Hope for your kind understanding in the forum.

Not sure while the levels got turned up here.. We can all just click the next link and move on (this rule does not apply to ax as he has been far to helpful to too many). Seriously though, why get wound up, read it, use it or discard it.
I've found the migbot to do a fine job if speed turned down to a creep and replace most of the parts. Loctite or nyloc everything, and spend tons of time tweaking firmware and slicer settings... It's a great printer and working very well at printing out its replacement right now. Obviously the cost is reflected in the quality, and for the $$ you get a lot.
Now, ax, how about a link to the corexy info!

Im looking into a 300x200 bed upgrade using the BQ hephestos bed upgrade kit as a template. Just a quick question. What size smooth rods and threaded rods do our machines have?

If Im going to upgrade to 10mm diameter, then I should just buy this kit. It comes with everything needed. Then, just go on Amazon and get a heated bed for it, done. that makes it even easier (but not cheaper).

This may have been covered before but I have just had a weird thing happen.
When saving a new .gcode file to my SD card and installing it in the printer to print it would be listed as the top file easy to find and always listed by most recent file. Now whenever I save a file to the SD card it lists totally random on the printer making it frustrating to find the most recent file now having to search through the whole list until I can find it. It doesn't seem to be in any order at all.
I have no idea why this is so and hoping someone here might know a fix. If I have changed anything I don't know what it was.

Speaking of extruders, I got a new all metal mk8... Doesn't fit right out of the box. Is there already a known solution to mount the thing on, or do I need to just mod it to fit on the carriage?
I had the original one on previously, and this is the common all metal version found on eBay
Strange, note down yer settings and grab the 1.1 RC6 version. See if that helps..Quote

I am running a version of your firmware but have been for ages, long before this problem started. I have not changed any settings that I know of, seems a very strange thing indeed.

I have found a few different steel frames for the Prusa i3, thinking of converting my Migbot to steel. Has anyone else done this? If so, have a link? I have yet to find one that includes a space for the LCD panel.

I'm looking at building a C-Bot, I like the idea of the belts not crossing and there is a triple screw variant for the z axis which makes me happy. Cantilever and opposite side screws don't seem that stable to me.
Still, printing a few upgrades and bolting it to a solid base helps a lot with stability and print quality. I'm looking at you adjustable axis tension.

Hi fellas,
I recently got the SN04-N proximity sensor, shown below:
[www.amazon.com]
The cable contains a black, a blue and a brown wire. I have a 3-pin JST XH connector to solder these into to connect into the Z- slot (or Z+, maybe, if my firmware is configured that way), but I don't know the order that these wires should be oriented on the board (MKS Base V1.2). So, if I am looking a the board mounted on the Migbot, with the power-from-PSU slot in the top-left corner, in what order should these black, blue and brown wires be in the Z-/+ slot from top to bottom?
One more question - I have two 40mm fans mounted on ducts for cooling the nozzle/filament. Each has a very high gauge pair of wires (black/red, probably at least 28AWG). Would it be ok to take the red wires from both fans and solder them into a single red wire which then runs to the "Fan" slot on the board (and the same for the black wires)? And if that is ok, should I use a lower gauge of wire for the single wire the fans will be soldered in to, like 20AWG, just to ensure that enough current is carried through to power both?
