Re: 10 tooth Pullies? - 12 years ago

Re: ABS Rod - 50mtr Black and White - Available - 13 years ago

Hi, I was wondering how the PLA supply was going? I am about to start looking into doing a pla order maybe with a few others. If there is some for testing or purchase now would be a good time to find out. Im sure we will speak about ordering PLA at the hackerspace tonight.

IM using repsnapper to control my ramps PCB running the sprinter software. but Kliment on the IRC channel has been developing a new host software which is getting some good feedback. Also im using Skeinforge .41 for generating my gcode. Hope it helps

Re: PLA/Brass Bushings - 13 years ago

yes i must say that 10 hours seems like a really small amount of time to start seeing failures. but i still maintain that for long term reliability i cant see how they would be better than a bearing setup. they are cheaper for sure but better? I am currently printing 3 sets of prusa parts on my wolfstrap. We have decided to use the lm8uu bearings on the bed but the other axis's we havnt got to

Re: PLA/Brass Bushings - 13 years ago

Hi, taking into account my limited knowlage of the pursa, from whatr i have been told the best way to make the bushing slide on the smooth rod is to run then up and downt he threaded rod a little so it "files" them to the right size. If you have a spare bushing or tow you could give it a try. Otherwise you might want to try and get along to the melbourne CCHS meeting tomorrow night as we will

Re: RAMPS Electronics - 13 years ago

hi wayne, welcome to the melbourne group. There seems to be quiet a number of us with reprap/repstraps at various stages of repair/build atm. I would say firstly that the ramps are close to the cheapest around if you build it yourself. if your buying a complete kit (including mega) it could get expensive but it does save alot of running around. I personally have built a few of the ramps V1.1 bo

Re: one step forward , two steps back - 13 years ago

well, for now i have ordered a nozzle from australia. it might only be a temparary solution but at least it should arrive quickly. aside from that i was doing some testing and found that adding a pen was very easy and now it seems i have a plotter. until the hotend turns up i will have a play with getting the printer to plot the thermocouple pcb and see if it works.

one step forward , two steps back - 13 years ago

Hi guys, just thought i would pop a quick post up. I managed to get the max6675 PCB working fine and installed the heater block that auzze gave me, i even got to the point of doing a first print. well the first print had some issues but worst of all it showed that the home made prit head that rob made had some issues as well. long story short, it ended up breaking the thread on the ptfe and o

Re: RAMPS with Thermocouple - 13 years ago

I would be interested in seeing the eagle files for this board. Would you be happy to post them? Also have you considered firmware for the 6675? i have just started looking into it and trying to work out whats the besty option for a ramps with 6675 board. i was considering an addon to johnny's board but this might just make it alot easier Peter
