even i am suspecting the sd card reader . i am printing directly via the usb right now to check it if that is the cause.. .. I even suspected the ssr on the headed bed as that is very close to the steppers but i ruled that out by printing on a cold bed.by ekaggrat - Delta Machines
hi, I have a 3dr delta working fro the last 6 months. Most of the time the printer works perfectly. But with some files the printer just freezes mid print and resets itself. Those particular files fail at a random point no matter how many times i try printing them. I am using marlin and slic3r. Any clues if it is a hardware or software bug? thanksby ekaggrat - Delta Machines
use springs on the arms or you will not be able to eliminate the play .by ekaggrat - Delta Machines
The 5 wire stepper cannot be used. The 6 wire can be used by using the first 4 'wires or finding the wires which make the coil pairs.by ekaggrat - Reprappers
i have a mendelmax with different motor on all axis.. All i did was to tune the stepsticks differently for different motors ( to make them cool and quiet and still have enough torque ) .. The printer has been running just fine for last 1 .5 yearsby ekaggrat - Reprappers
@mbttger i dont see mixing happening in your extruder , just color change in one hotend .So how is it a multicolor hotend?by ekaggrat - Developers
@vreihen the board files are missing. Just the schematic is not enough to be open source!!!by ekaggrat - Controllers
There is no firmware for core xz just a gcode post processor . This was not meant to be a new printer but a retrofit for the prusa i2 .by ekaggrat - Developers
been there done that groove or grooveless hotendby ekaggrat - General
Yes i mean check in luggage and asking such questions to a airlines raises suspision. Guess then i will just have to try. Worst case gift it to the customs or whoever objects it then .by ekaggrat - General
i searched and could find a answer to this question. I want to take a disassembled mendelmax on a international flight in my luggage. Does it cause any trouble ( metal detectors / customs ) etc ? any experiences?by ekaggrat - General
i dont think the force of the magnet would be enough to mix the semisolid plastic. It requires quite some force.by ekaggrat - Developers
this board is made in china called the mks base 1 .. pin compatible with megatronics 2 blog taobaoby ekaggrat - Reprappers

y do want to do that? you will need 2 hotends to do that... ( the sleve in the j-head is a bad technique ) ..by ekaggrat - India RUG
are you on taobao?i think i saw this there but lost the linkby ekaggrat - Look what I made!
oh no that was my next clock .... crap!!!by ekaggrat - Look what I made!
Anybody with experience of using the drv8825 outside of a ramps/reprap setup? I have a stepper driver board to drive micro steppers running at 6v . The stepstick work seamlessly but i had some drv8825 boards and tried them and they wont work. I checked the datasheet and it said the operating voltage of the drv8825 is 8.5-25v and of the stepstick is 8-25v . The only difference is that the drv8825by ekaggrat - Controllers
Most cheap kits have these issues due to plain carelessness/ignorance... I bought a Prusa i2 kit 2 years back and the seller didnt even know how the hot end actually works.. I ended up changing most of the parts in the kit. Buy from reliable sources ..by ekaggrat - Reprappers
i have seen some corexy builds .I see some use toothed idlers and some sure plain bearing as idlers. Which is better? Is it necessary to use toothed idlers?by ekaggrat - CoreXY Machines
another question is what information is enough to call a electronics board to be called open source . Some boards ( RADDS ) just share their schematic as a PDF and call themselves open source.. Aren't source files/gerber files necessary to call yourself open source?by ekaggrat - General
Well was planning on making a radds based board as till now for both my printers i have made everthing inclyding the pcbs so was not keen on buying a radds board as there is no fun in that. Anyways i will layout my own board and call it something else. Sorry about the misconception of open source... i hadby ekaggrat - Controllers
I cant seem to find the pcb files for RADDS .. I thought it was open source according to the wiki....by ekaggrat - Controllers
bingo !. on serial test i figured that pin 9 had a bad solder.. my mistake .. resoldered and now every bootloader on the block works....by ekaggrat - Controllers
i tried all the bootloaders and none of them work... Maybe i am doing something wrongby ekaggrat - Controllers
point noted .. posted on thingiverse....if you want i can mail you the rhino/stp file if you want to take a look at the 3d... And the 'sales' is just because i have spare pcbs and motors... not a large scale one .by ekaggrat - Look what I made!
