Does this mean that there are no easy or possible hardware options to create RAM and buffer space equal to the technical needs of SD memory cards as they appear to be at present? I think the printing process should be immediate and hassle free to facilitate creative thinking and solutions to a solid 3D world. Fixing the broken polymer shells of various domestic accidents.

I would have the web administrators of the RAMPS-FD pages overwrite these pages with a warning message and a link to the explanation of the problems with the original version of this design. Also despite the existence of a version 2.0 the non existence of any further development of this design would be appropriate to advise any body else about the limited success of this design. It would save heby arclite - Controllers
Thank you for all the HEATED words on this subject. I did not take the descriptions seriously to be accurate in English BUT i did not expect them to LIE OUTRIGHT on SERIOUS issues that exposed REAL DANGER! I would appreciate everybody who has made their observations of REAL DANGER to print the relevant page of the GEETECH "Brand 3D Printer Motherboard Reprap RAMPS-FD Shield Ramps 1.4 Control Boaby arclite - Controllers
But if you read the product description it is: "Brand 3D Printer Motherboard Reprap RAMPS-FD Shield Ramps 1.4 Control Board Compatible with Arduino Due Main Control Board" Everything I was reading about using the Arduino DUE as a 32 bit processor and the 3.3V logic required to work with it led me to the RAMPS-FD.

Yes, I hope not! The link to the product is: For which I have purchased an Arduino Due here: and for which I am using 1/128 stepper drivers here: I decided to go for optoelectronic end-stops here: Hoping my late night enthusiasm hasn't got the better of me?! With thanksby arclite - Controllers
Please advise, I have made my choices already (see below). But there is so much information, with conflicting and overlapping statements. I wanted to move straight to 32bit, but to reduce costs I sought compatibility with the cheapest available components (cheap as in source not in reliability or function). I am an absolute newbie. I purchased a cheap Prusa i3 kit from China that came with defeby arclite - Controllers
I thought it was a jumping off point for the once believed dead Aurora i3 Prusa? It is the spirit of RepRap that has made all this possible! There are unique issues of Aurora design from which developments will be dependent upon. Orthogonal definition is potentially limiting. You can only see potential from the inside of any system. As much as for any system, there will always be something outsiby arclite - Reprappers
The aurora Z-605 is a perspex/Acrylic frame 180^3 Prusa i3 printer (more definitions as I learn) I am looking at modifying my printer to make a heavier print head possible, eg. modular fitting of Diamond 3 way multi colour, multi-material, mixer feed; a kibbled stock feeder; a cnc cutter; and later a larger 3d space, plastic recycler and filament extruder, etc. I think of this as evolutionary dby arclite - Reprappers
I thought to start a new topic "Aurora Z-605 printer kit upgrade path" Here, under this topic after my initial shock, because the kit contained defective parts. Ironically, a shared view, they too were 3D printed. But the printer, used commercially, to 3D-print critical Aurora parts, had not been checked for squared geometries. 3D-printed contributions by members with good ideas have helped otby arclite - Reprappers
My question as I have the same problem with the same parts is where did your kit come from? Does it have laser-cut Acrylic frame pieces with "3D Printer" cut out across the top piece? Have you written to the supplier and what has been their reply, if any? Surely if the parts are being printed on a defective printer setup, they need to be told to get this right? Else we remain the source of theby arclite - Reprappers
The answer to this question is "Yes I did". I copied the DVD content to my tablet and I have the complete 'support package', presentation files, spreadsheets, videos, in front of me on the workbench. The assembly guide, to be used together with the individual videos, simply stops identifying the actual fixing specifications. There are several 'M' series fixings, M3 for example. But the lengthsby arclite - Reprappers

Brian, I am looking at my kit with exactly the same problems. I too wish I'd found this article before buying, but adaptation is evolution?
