We've now turned up the volts of the x and Y stepper motors tot 5.2 instead of 4.2 and u till now we haven't had any problems legt the only thing that happens a lot latley is that the parts come lose at soms point at pri ging :/ they like bend because of the crimp I think..could that be?by JasperCocquyt - Printing
i'll look thru all the teps thanks! i've searched online and some people had the same problem and they they that it was their stepper chip that isn't fabricaded correctly and that it that way scips steps. now i have switched the X and Y stepper chip and we'll see if it still skips a step but then in the other direction then we know that stepper chip is not good anymore .

This is how the skirts looks (i'm printing small objets for testing so) (this is with the 0.95) version printed. See file and with the 1.0.6 version it's even worse :/ (i know my extruder leaks but i've taken care of that now order a new one.by JasperCocquyt - RepRap Host
Hello people, In school we have the K8200 and i use the repetier host with it that they recommend (V0.95F) but the slic3r is like really slow and so i asked a few weeks ago how to do it faster and they said to instal the Repetier host 1.0.6 with trhe cura engine. i did that and i tried to get all the settings right. But the problem is that it is printing like really sloppy and not correct i thinkby JasperCocquyt - RepRap Host

Hello everyone, i want to buy my first 3d-printer. i have worked with some in school and i am bitten by the techology. I have a budget from around the 1000EUR. Do you guys have any suggestions or tips for me when buying a printer. I not mind if it's a DIY kit. The one we have at school is a Velleman K8200 witch is a good one i think. But maybe there is more? Let me know please Thank you all!by JasperCocquyt - General

It doesn't open a window with me. It just gives that red error (that dissapears directly) and then its doesn't do anything anymore. So but you say i have to make sure i have to let it export to a file that exist's?by JasperCocquyt - Slic3r
No my computer battery was out and i forgot to put the charge in --' but now that i have tried it again i have seen that it gives a red error where it's saying that it can't find the place (file) for exporting the G-codes witch i find very weird? could this be something about administration or something?by JasperCocquyt - Slic3r
Hello, It's the first time i use this software and it's the first time i will make a 3D print. I uploaded a file an started slicing but from the point where the status bar (green bar) is almost ending it won't do enything anymore. I don't know if this just takes a lot of time to export the G-code? at least that's what's it's telling me it's doing but it has been like this for an hour now. So isby JasperCocquyt - Slic3r
