Re: New Botmill Glider 3.0 Experience - 14 years ago
I really feel sad about people doubting on new comer's posts, just because of previous bad experience with Botmill. This post is not intended to "protect" Botmill (check my previous posts about my Glider 3, I never said I'm a happy customer for Botmill), but to stand behind mchenetz for his innocence because we've already shared our experience through many e-mails and his printer seems to work beby Automeasure - General

Re: BotMill has the Fastest Shipping Times Around! - 14 years ago
But we're not talking about a few degrees, the difference between 199 vs 230 (target) is 31. And how is your answer going to help me to solve my problem, that filament not flowing out of the nozzle? And one of your previous post said "2. Sounds like the filament issue may be due to a temperature issue." If you think temperature is not the cause, then what's the next step ?

Re: BotMill has the Fastest Shipping Times Around! - 14 years ago
Shaan: The printer was turned on for a while when I was on the forum, to save time on the test I didn't wait till it's totally cooled down but instead just touch the nozzle with my fingers and when I feel comfortable I started the printer again. That's why in both case the nozzle temperature started around 50 deg., if we need a comparison then that should work. Anyway I redid the test with machby Automeasure - General
Re: BotMill has the Fastest Shipping Times Around! - 14 years ago
I just did the test and here's the result: 1, I started my printer in Repsnapper and set 230, heat on, it starts to rise from 57deg., and then stops at 201, took 2min.40sec, then drops to 197, then back and forth between 196 to 199; 2, Power off the printer and let it cool down. Started it in Pronterface and do the same thing, it rises from 44 all the way to 234, took about 3min. 45sec., then bby Automeasure - General
Re: Anyone Have BotMill Feedback? - 14 years ago
Dan: Can you post your settings in Repsnapper if you've already got a relatively good print? Right now I still have trouble getting nozzle to reach target temperature 230 deg. so no filament coming out of the nozzle yet. But Botmill seems to be quick in response this time so once that's fixed I'll need to know how to set up those parameters properly in Repsnapper to create good prints.

Re: BotMill has the Fastest Shipping Times Around! - 14 years ago
I've got my Botmill Glider more than a week now, with many many hours spent on making phone calls, writing e-mails to your tech support and fixing loose components, playing with RepSnapper but it's still not working properly, can you tell me why this happens: 1, When in RepSnapper, I set target temperature at 230 but it can only rise to around 200 and stops; but if I use Pronterface, it easily rby Automeasure - General
Re: 3D Systems Improves Botmill Quality - 14 years ago
I just bought a Botmill assembled Glider, then found so many bad reviews on this forum but it's too late. I had tough time to get support from them from the very beginning. Somehow I got it working but now I won't be able to feed the new abs material, extruder is running and then the material get stuck at certain point. I set 230 deg. as target temperature in Repsnapper but the actual temp can onby Automeasure - General
Re: Note to self: do more research! - 14 years ago
Thanks to all for your replies. And you're right, Wikisi, I didn't really power on the circuit board because I was confused by the other power supply that is labelled as "for LCD monitor". Now my printer is running. I hasn't calibrated z axis that good but just want to start using it to get a feel. I printed "something" but the nozzle is all messy with melted material. What I need to learn is undby Automeasure - General
Re: Note to self: do more research! - 14 years ago
I'm on the same boat as you: found so many bad reviews after I bought one. The shipping was fast, which surprised me. But right now I couldn't any support (other than a few e-mails from Gil saying they'll support me) to make my printer working. My first problem is after I installed Gen 6 driver and ran Repsnapper, it won't connect to the printer because you can only choose COM ports in Repsnappby Automeasure - General
