Ordered two and printed both PLA and ABS. PLA jammed not long after use as it needs proper fan blowing on the fins at all times. ABS on the other hand printed brilliantly (with a fan blowing over the fins) and there are no jams/issues after 1kg of ABS printing; some of the prints run over 46 hours! I am going to try out PLA again with more aggressive cooling. Fantastic hotend and will buy againby mintlin - For Sale

Hi, Just trying to understand why my RAMPS 1.4 resets on "Connect" (when clicking on the Connect button) on Repetier Host? I'm running a Repetier Firmware 0.91 and Repetier Host 0.95F with the print running from SD card and external power. I can disconnect fine without resetting the printing job. The problem is when I try to connect while printing to adjust printer parameters.by mintlin - General
Damn... I was looking for just the printed parts so I can experiment with the Delta Pi design. Oh well let me know if you'd like to sell just the printed parts (plus the diagonal rods). I'm located in Australia. Good luck with the sale mate!by mintlin - For Sale
Hi, I'm after printed parts for the Cherry Pi ... Please give me a quote on these parts printed in ABS.

All good now. I've missed the acceleration settings! Doh! I've set mine to test at the following settings and the speed looks ok.

Thanks for the reply but I'm getting the same speed on the motors as before. Any other ideas?by mintlin - Reprappers
Hi, I'm in the process of building a Rostock style Delta printer with the configuration as attached. I have Nema 17 60mm motors for all axis's driven by RAMPS 1.4 controller + 430W power supply. I have the power supply, controller and motors hooked up for firmware calibration/setting and I'm using Repetier firmware v091. I'm using the Repetier Host v0.95D to 'Dry Run' a test print. The stepper drby mintlin - Reprappers
Thanks for the insights. Looks like there are no silver bullets for higher quality prints. I'll just have to look at properly tuning the printer settings first before tweaking it for SHQ prints.by mintlin - Mechanics
Hi, I'm designing a delta printer for high precision printing and I'm wondering if adding a planetary gearbox with ratio say 100:1 which decreases the stepper angle of a NEMA 17 motor of 1.8 degrees to 0.018 degrees will benefit the print quality dramatically? Please share some examples if you have any. Would using a gearbox require reconfiguration of the printer firmware? (would like to use Repeby mintlin - Mechanics
