Was the size of the 8mm nut hole that you measured in the STL viewer different than the value of the m8 nut hole value in metric.scad? The trouble I had is that I adjusted the size of the 8mm nut hole (in configuration.scad) to the correct size and it was still to large. If the measured value is equal to the value in metric.scad then you can override the default value by enter the size you want fby spaztik - General Mendel Topics
I see bug #44 m8 nut diameter in metric.scad is wrong, but that is referring to the default value in metric.scad. I have entered a different value in configuration.scad which should override what is in metric.scad but the hole is still too big.by spaztik - General Mendel Topics
I noticed that the calibration part disappeared a few commits before iteration 2 was officially released. I am unsure how to fine tune the hole sizes without this part except to print and then reprint large parts, wasting a lot of plastic and time. I have printed some of the smaller parts with default values and the hole sizes came too large. I tried downloading the calibration part from an earliby spaztik - General Mendel Topics
If you have, how was your experience? Were the parts of good quality? Did your order ship in a timely fashion? If you needed to contact support for any reason, how did that go? I am considering buying a Prusa hardware kit and 1kg of PLA. I am also curious about the quality of their extruder parts. In particular the nozzle, heater barrel and hobbed bolt.

I am from elsewhere in Canada, Manitoba actually. I found this post while searching for feedback on Ultimachine. Still, it would be nice to have a supplier somewhere in Canada. 500 - 1000 lbs is a lot of plastic and a significant investment on your part. I suspect you'll need interest from more than few people to justify it. I figured it would take some time as well. I will likely order some plby spaztik - Canada, Vancouver RepRap User Group
I too am interested in a Canadian supplier for plastic filament. I suspect it is possible to order ABS from within Canada but I would prefer a one stop shop. If you decided today to go ahead with this, approximately how long would it take before you had product ready for sale? In your second post you mention Ultimachine. Have you done business with them?

Just some feedback about the m104 oddity when using p1 I commented about earlier. Its seems m104 p0 sorts things out until the next m104 p1 is used. Also m105 p1 suffers from the same issue.

I just downloaded the latest commit from master to test my recently completed heated bed. After a reboot the extruder heater works fine.

The steps/mm aren't that high, around 160, but you're right the feed rate limit in the firmware should catch it. I may have the z axes feed rate set to high in firmware, I'll have to double check that. Regardless, I can see in the gcode that skeinforge uses the travel feed rate when moving the z axes while building the raft.by spaztik - Skeinforge

This firmware is still under heavy development and I think arduino IDE compatibility is on hold until things settle down some. It has been quite a while since I have been able to compile in the IDE (I haven't tried lately either though).

To maintain I_factor * I_limit = 192, when using very small values for I_factor, I_limit needs to be very large. Example: I_factor =.1 I_limit = 192 / I_factor -> I_limit = 192 / .1 = 1920 I am wondering what the maximum/reasonable value of I_limit can be. A related question is what should I_limit be set at when you have I_factor set to 0 when tuning. Triffid_Hunter Wrote: --------------by spaztik - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
