I tried the update and my power supply still won't turn on.by miro87043 - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
Here's the problem, Like the topic says, I have a Gen 7 1.3 with repetier firmware and pronterface host. I can upload firmware and connect to printer. But when I send M80 to turn on power supply the LED (signifying power supply on) lights up and fades out immediately. I tried Repetier host and had the same result. When trying pronterface I commented out the lines shown in the repetier firmware dby miro87043 - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future

Like the subject says, when I print multi-part plates (particularly with small parts), the nozzle has a tendency to knock parts or cause my steppers to skip when passing over parts. My best solution other than printing parts seperately is to use SFACT with comb on. Not sure there's much I can do to fix this other than printing parts seperately, but I figuered I'd post it in case anybody found aby miro87043 - Slic3r
I've been having a similar problem with my makergear hotend which has worked fine for a while, but just started jamming. I have a wade's extruder body designed for 3mm filament and hotend for 1.75mm filament. For what it's worth, the oversized body was no issue for months. I also have a fan on either side of my extruder for cooling. The nozzle is well insulated. Like the original author I can pby miro87043 - Reprappers
Is there no more support for fan control in Marlin 1.0 or am I missing a setting? I add M106 in my start Gcode to turn my fan on my hotend when printing. Now I can't get my fan using the electronics since upgrading to 1.0 I'm thinking the mosfet typically designated for a fan is now purposed for a 2nd extruder in 1.0. Is there a simple way to re-implement fan control in the firmware?by miro87043 - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future

First off, Thanks everybody for all the hints and advice, especially Markus for walking me through! Now, my next issue: I hooked up PSU and ran the test file. PSU turned on and LED blinked 10 times, woohoo! However, I then uploaded repetier and tried to connect with pronterface and I get: Connecting... Brown out reset wait wait wait wait wait...ad infinitum Anymore suggestions? Thanks aby miro87043 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
With RXD and TXD crossed and hitting reset right after pressing upload on Arduino IDE, I'm able to upload sketch. Serial monitor shows sketch running correctly, but I have not connected to PSU yet to make sure all is well. Thanks!by miro87043 - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
Update: I've got the device showing in OS and Arduino 21. It was a firmware issue. It uses a UART chip. I tried to upload your test file and that is where I'm now hitting a problem. The file compiles without issue, but when uploading it timeouts. I get the same issue with RXD and TXD crossed or not.

I built my a Gen 7 from kits provided by Traumflug at a very reasonable price. Thanks! However, I'm unable to get the arduino IDE to recognize the port my board is plugged in to. I installed the support as directed and I can select the correct board but the port does not show when the board is plugged in.

The total would be $80 USD for kit and shipping to the UK. However, at the moment my printer is being used for some other projects. I will post to the thread when I have another kit available. Thanks for your interest, Micahby miro87043 - Plastic RepRap Parts for Sale
I'm looking for low cost electronics to use in kits for a class to build Prusa's. I found these - through a link on reprap.org but I've didn't find any info about Solidoodle anywhere else. Anybody used them before? Any other suggestions for electronics in the $100 range? Thanksby miro87043 - General
Buongiorno, International shipping is $20 USD and I'm guessing it would take a couple weeks, though USPS does not specify. My next 2 kits are spoken for, but I should have one available by the end of the week. Thanks for your interest, Micahby miro87043 - Plastic RepRap Parts for Sale

Lanthan: When I was first setting up Marlin I tried Repetier. As I recall, I was unable to get it running. I think I had issues compiling, but I didn't try that much. I'd be curious to see how it stacks up against Marlin. Till I got Marlin running I was not aware of the differences the firmware could make. I thought it was all in the gcode.

Current setup: slic3r/pronterface/marlin/ramps 1.4/prusa with linear bearings, 1.75 mm hot end, .35 nozzle I'm continuously trying different speeds, but I've been getting consistently good prints with 40 mm/sec perimeters and 100 mm/sec fill at .28 layer height. I even went .1 layer height an printed this: at the same speeds. From my understanding and limited experience it's slic3r that's alloweby miro87043 - General
First off I'd like share that Slic3r is great and has given me better quality prints with one minute making settings then days of tuning with the previous "one" I've been using. However, I've been noticing ridges along the z axis in my slic3r prints and was curious if this is an isolated event or not. I'm attaching a picture showing the ridges. The piece on the right was using slic3r and the piby miro87043 - Slic3r
