I understand he is busy but this is the 7th day of trying to reach him regarding an order... Its not the timing of the shipment I am worried about.. I am trying to change the order and spend MORE money! I reached him once (9 days ago) at the number above and he assured me he would change it and send a paypal request. This has not happened and now he cannot be reached... I just don't understand whby DanielG - General
Ok I give up... All complaints and jokes aside.. is it possible to get ahold of these guys??? This is the Number I am trying... 011 31 40 202 67 49by DanielG - General
Do you live next door to him? if they care so much why not answer emails? <<< hell a week or two late would be better than not at all/.. Also no-one to answer phone? HMMMMMMMby DanielG - General
I was just going to mention ultimachine... my god top notch all the way...because of that I go to them first and am even willing to pay more if needed (although their prices are always good). then look elsewhere... BTW I STRONGLY disagree about mendel-parts being a hobby site...the ONLY reason period they still have customers I bet is that they have no competition. that's how they get away with cby DanielG - General
I have heard rumors of bad customer support but holy crap.... who buys from them and why? they NEVER answer their phone or email... I have NO idea if and when they shipped the order... weird////. Being busy is one thing,,, but I am beginning to thing these guys are just jerks...by DanielG - General
Thanks Nophead. Of course I see it now.... I am blind........... that helps as I have no need at this time for SD support....by DanielG - Reprappers
I have never been able to go that fast... (I am still learning though!) Whew! long delay but Oct-Nov kill me with b-days and the holidays.......... I finally had the time to order the rest of the parts for the new build! found a cool box to put them in as well.... I will post the pics tonight.... I do have a question for the experts in the meantime... When converting the makerbot mainboard toby DanielG - Reprappers
I do not use the regular host so I do not use those setting.. I use repsnapper.. By 1500 I mean 1500 millimeter per minute. I could never go that fast for PLA that's for sure! with PLA I only got to around 1000 on my machine.. that's slow compared to most I believe...by DanielG - Reprappers
Holy stepper size diff! I hope to fire these up this weekend... here is my first print in abs... i know crap but i did learn one thing.... when i figure out abs i will be printing FAST.. i upped the speed to 1500 and wow..... very cool.. abs seems to extrude better than pla......goal this weekend is to ditch repsnapper g-code and learn to forge!by DanielG - Reprappers
Maybe I missed it but what about hot air? That's what I use.. a cheap model is about 80-100us. Then I pick it up with a little pen size suction cup thingy I found in China.. easy as pie or cake or whatever.by DanielG - Controllers
I am using a old version of firmware... When did they up the baud rate? I thinks its time to change firmware!by DanielG - General
Getting closer to finishing the mechanical... I do have a binding problen on the left Z.. that why the rod's is not all the way up... My guess is it's a plastic bit or something jammed in there... the right side is like butter.... I should have the belts and pololu drivers next week to start testing!by DanielG - Reprappers
Slow it down and up the infill......btw where is your glass desk from?by DanielG - Reprappers
Thanks! I was hoping I could just swap back and forth without to much trouble.. this is good news as I am itching to extrude ABS as I have not tried it yet.by DanielG - Reprappers
I am basically done now with the printing of parts (minus gears) and will be doing final adjustment of the frame and x- axis this weekend. (pics coming tonight) I also received the new steppers from alltronics and got a confirmation that the pololu drivers shipped as well... I think I have decided to go with the ramps solution for the electronics... <<that should be fun! things left to do:by DanielG - Reprappers
Does anyone have an example of using pololu driver boards with opto endstops? Also what size decoupling caps and how many did you use? Thanks!by DanielG - Reprappers
Greengoomba was the first to ask so he will be the person to receive to donated plastics as soon as the second machine is up and calibrated!by DanielG - Reprappers
Just a note... For those who are learning and tuning your machines.. you may wanna pickup a cheapo black light (I got mine at lowe's for 20 bucks) and a pound of UV reactive plastic... It's great for tuning as you can see perfectly in low light or even in the dark as to how the plastic is being laid and what you need to adjust..by DanielG - Reprappers
Ok, The frame is done and only 9 more parts to print before final assembly//// I should receive the steppers this week along with some threaded rod that I miscalculafused on.... I think I have decided to go with pololu stepper boards so I will be watching out for that to be in stock... I will also drill and mount the cast aluminum build plate this week and order the belts... I think the next buiby DanielG - Reprappers
Have you tried repsnapper? if not you really should..... the reg host made me nutz as well...by DanielG - Reprappers
How would one mount it to a mendel? Do to have pics of one mounted to a Mendel?by DanielG - For Sale
Can you post your software? also what host you use? thanks!by DanielG - Reprappers
interesting.. Where did you get that clamp?by DanielG - Reprappers
Be VERY VERY VERY careful when checking them... You can destroy them or possibly a regulator on the driver board if you connect the polarity in reverse! double triple check the connection!by DanielG - Reprappers
AWSOME! You should try to fix those optos though. unless you want you constantly need to remember to remove the "home" commands out of everything...by DanielG - Reprappers
Getting closer... Bottom frame is done..19 more parts and everything will be done except the X Axis... I have decided on this stepper>> Lin Engineering - 4218L-01D-02 for the new build.. they are now on order!by DanielG - Reprappers
Is the forum ok? I am seeing delays and errors (database) when posting and editing.....by DanielG - Administration, Announcements, Policy
