There's lots of reprap related software, I have no way of knowing which software you are talking about. Most/all is open source. The source for almost all of our softwares can be found on Github.by xclusive585 - Reprappers
Sounds like you need to change your thermistor type in your firmware. Also after you have normal temp readings, do a PID autotune on your hotend, and then re-compile your firmware with the values given to you by the PID autotune. And you'll definitely need to set your steps/mm properly for all axis'. Default settings are likely not what you need.by xclusive585 - Printing
My comment, avoid the tips with nipples.by xclusive585 - General
I've started this thread for everyone and I'm hoping that Polygonhell and Martinprice and others will participate in the conversation. Basically I just want to openly brainstorm possible directions to take concerning deltas. I'll start here: It seems there are 3 options available for controlling a delta 1.

Slow down your homing feedrate in your firmware... if it's all stock marlin there's some other things you should slow down as well like jerk and acceleration. Also if your steps per mm is wrong that will make things too fast or too slow...by xclusive585 - Reprappers
Slipping pulley? Idler block too loose? E motor skipping steps (does it vibrate loudly when it stops printing?).by xclusive585 - General
I also have a maker farm mkIVb, never blew it open yet but man does that nipple like to catch on everything. I already plan on replacing it. Maker farm should really switch to a mkV... Definitely have problems with that darn nipple.. same as you it digs not only into my first layer but successive ones as well. Haven't been able to print anything with steep overhangs due to that nipple catching eby xclusive585 - Printing

Why wider though? They already have almost the build width of our standard 200x200 machines... But that's the cool thing about the rostock/delta design I think it looks pretty scalable. Anyways I think proper firmwares need to be in place for the deltas before we worry about redesigning them.by xclusive585 - General
I was just going to ask. If someone wrote proper firmware for deltas, would some of us be willing to test more "intense" firmware with a different electronics package? I know I will be willing to. I think ARM is the way to go, to get the processing power needed while still using a package that is a programmable SOC setup.

Well it can't fix your pictures, but it sure can help to make changes to large amounts of documentation easily. Just throwing ideas out there.by xclusive585 - General

Especially if they have a decent software engineer they will most definitely in time start altering the firmware. This could be beneficial to us however if they do a good job. :-)by xclusive585 - General
And if they alter the firmware for their machine they are responsible for releasing the source under GPL, that is a fact. Let's hope they abide.by xclusive585 - General
Wow.... Point him at a page with a full bill of materials for prusa v2, and he says he can't find a BOM Wow. And here's the BOM for a mendel 90.

People that can't navigate a wiki shouldn't even be attempting a project that requires basic mechanical and simple electrical skills. Spend 3 grand on a Makerbot instead.by xclusive585 - General

Well if you have money, but no time, buy a pre-built, pre calibrated reprap. I'm sure some people here will gladly give you thumbs up or thumbs down for a whole universe of sellers. Again, if you look at people selling prusa plastic parts, most kits have all parts except the extruder, and some kits include that too. Dont know where your finding kits that dont have all the parts.

Cheap solution for beginner is always going to be a prusa mendel. I came into this with 0 knowledge, and all it took was some reading to get a plan together. Prusa mendel kits are widely available. All the flavors of electronics are widely available. Hotends and heatbeds are widely available. You can even get a threaded rod kit for a prusa on ebay if you dont want to cut the rods yourself. Whby xclusive585 - General
yea 5 amps would hardly be the minimum for a prusa without a heatbed. Most of us aim for PSU's that can do up to 30 amps...by xclusive585 - Reprappers
extrusions eh? John "Oly's" Rostock Max already does that with at least the frame. And if their designs are built from designs released under GPL, aren't they in violation by not crediting? Did they say if they will release their sources?by xclusive585 - General

You should aim to use the new arduino as a base. Paving the way for: a) Using Ramps with the new Arduino DUE b) adding on for multiple extruders. This can pave the way for some bridges we will be crossing soon... Arduino is a great solution as it's readily available, Open, and is modular. This solution also allows use of an ARM processor as you mentioned. I think that kind of power is importanby xclusive585 - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
Good luck. Personally I would have just tried one. But thank you for taking that plunge. If it's ok, maybe I'll buy a cheap Ramps shield with one. = super cheap ramps package.by xclusive585 - RAMPS Electronics
