Re: Heated build plate not hot enough - I think. - 13 years ago

I had the same problem, and ended up running the wiring different. I put the negative lead to the heat bed into the negative on d9 on my ramps and connected the positive directly to the positive on the power inputs on the ramps. I can now get up to 120, and havn't tested it higher but Im sure that it would get there if I tried it.

Re: Any tips and tricks for threading? - 13 years ago

try putting the part into a chuck centre and putting the die and rack against the jaws and turn the die as you advance the chuck. that;s how we were taught in tradeschool.

reprap parts. - 13 years ago

I got my threadedrod and smooth rod from bolts and fasteners in bendigo, but im sure therea are other places like them around. I also got the nuts and washers for the entire build from them. I also got most of my electronics from bilby cnc. If people need parts I can do them, but they are a big print, and I would have to charge around $70 per set for the prusa v2, and I could only od them in AB

Re: Hot end design - 13 years ago

How about an accurate thermistor table for the thermistors that you have with your kits? Im not really interested in mapping one myself, so I put a different thermistor in so I could trust the readings, but if you have a temptable for those thermistors I wold be most appreciative. By the way, I love this hotend and will be getting some more in the future.

Re: Hot end design - 13 years ago

I am very impressed with mine, have used it with pla and abs, and both printed very well, I still have some calibration to do with it, but all in all a very good hotend.

I have found the same, with the x rods, and im going to cut them so that I can have the z motor mounts close to the top rails. ttsalo Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I'm just finishing a Prusa Iteration 2 build and I > cut the X rods to 406 mm, then hammered them into > the X axis end pieces and installed them to the Z > axis by spacing the Z motor m
