Well that makes three of us then.
I am keen to order today... We could see if we can do 12 rolls for a bit extra (keep it divisible by 3).
What colours would you guys want?
Alex.

Hi All,
I managed to print using the material by really winding up the extruder idler tension and upping the nozzle temp to 215C. This was after drying the material at 80C for three hours (in one of our lab PID controlled ovens). However I don't think moisture is the issue as it does not dribble excessively, just a different material composition. The main difference is one being brittle and the

Hi Julian!
Good to know another reprapper in Brisvegas!
Im keen for a group by from Vik. He has a deal on the website for 11 rolls delivered to Brisbane for $397 (AU$305). I may even be able to get the PLA sent to our Auckland office and couriered direct to me...
How many do we need for a group buy? 3 or more?
I'll email him and see what we can do.
His website looks good, product is packed a

Its PLA for sure. I've got some in an oven at 80C for 4hrs...

The bag states PLA. I'll do a quick burn and smell test...

Hello All,
I have had my Mendel working great the last few days printing PLA. Now I have just got to the end of the 1lb of sample PLA that came with the machine and switched over to the 5lb coil of UltiMachine 4043D and everything has turned to custard...
The material keeps stripping, I thought this material might need a higher melting point so took it up from 195C to 220C in steps of 5C. Still

I have now run the opto cables separately and all seems fine.
Thanks for your help!
Alex.

Thanks brnrd,
Got it all back up and running again, however after lengthening the endstop cables and running them alongside the stepper cables I think I may be inducing some noise and triggering a false end position.
This is what is happening. Jog in the +ive direction, no worries at all. Press home in any of the 3 axis and the head or bed will move a random amount then slow and stop. Press hom

Ok,
So I have successfully uploaded the tweeked Sprinter firmware onto my board using Arduino 0023 and am getting correct thermistor readings from the T1 input.
However, Repsnapper no longer shows the value in the temperature box and therefore will not turn the element on. When looking at the reply from the board it comes back with both the extruder and bed temp (T0 and B0) and a lot of asteris

Thanks Andrew,
I'll give that a go.
Cheers,

Hi there,
I am a newbie with the same problem.
I went to the trouble of extending cables to run into an enclosure to tidy up my Mendel. In the process I have fried the T0 thermistor pin.
Everything else works fine and I am getting all the same symptoms as Atfer.
So I need to reroute as suggested by brnrd.
How do I do this?!
I am running a preconfigured Arduino Mega 2560 R2 with RAMPS V1.4.
