do you want to keep the psu.? if you are only going to use it on your reprap you can just cut the wires, if not just buy a cheap cable and cut the wires on that, you will need to use 2 yellow and 2 black.by dissidence - General
in layers and perimeters, its the second option. i remembered reading sometime that its good to make your first layer a little taller, i wonder if that is still true.? i never adjusted layer width, that should be default still.by dissidence - Slic3r
i will have to print and check it out, but i think sublime might be onto something there, what are your first layer settings set at tmorris9.?by dissidence - Slic3r
You had the same experience like me then. But ys for the better part of the last 10 years I think the bigger cordless tools have faired far better when ya don't cheap out. Quotetmorris9 Since lithium batteries they can make cordless with more powerful motors. While I have only had my cordless a few months I can say I am impressed. I bought one of the first Dremel cordless and after a few uses Iby dissidence - General
i was not impressed with the cordless version 8 years ago, i have not tried them since. but i can see where they would be handy. i dont think they have the power the corded versions to. but i think that is true for most tools.by dissidence - General
On the gcode I posted you can see it if you put it in a gcode viewer. in the picture you can see more than one hex pattern that is printed.by dissidence - Slic3r
on mine, when i print with no top or bottom layers, the first layer of the hex pattern is both not the same infil percent and its also not lined up. you can see it in this file. takes a little thinking to get them to fit in the file size limits.by dissidence - Slic3r
diamond blades, i think they are normally grey or gold colored, but watch the dust, it is very bad for you.by dissidence - General
No not yet. Im in the same bucket like youby dissidence - Slic3r
i just started to do the same thing, my idea is for some fan guards and maybe a air filter holder. would be nice not to have to pick it clean after.by dissidence - Slic3r
they are a handy tool, lots of uses, but that mostly depends on what your hobbies are. for my reprap i found it useful for trimming bolts down, and cleaning some things off, but that mostly comes down to what accessories you got. my kit was lacking some in the metal polishing area, i was hoping to use it to buff up a few small things.by dissidence - General

borosilicate (aka pyrex) was made to be much more shock tolerent than normal glass, it is the type of glass used in cook wear and i think a good chunk of lab glass.by dissidence - General
i use borosilicate glass i got from ebay, it has been working great for me.by dissidence - General
i got mine to stop in the firmware, though i would have like it to work like it was intended too. lol now i cant remember where i got mine from, I'm getting bad for stuff like that.by dissidence - RAMPS Electronics
with any thermocouple you need the chip between the thermocouple and the ramps, i think there are a few different types out there from a analog to a digital out. some ramps i have seen even have the chip built in. you might like this guy https://www.sparkfun.com/products/307by dissidence - RAMPS Electronics

I am having a hell of a time getting m8 rod from fastenel. But they are still handy for a lot of metric stuff overall.by dissidence - General

no i have not tried to patch one of those boats. but i would imagine its not much different than a bike patch.by dissidence - General
i have wondered if chrome would be better for pla bushings though, do you know anyone who has tried that.? the sad part is that we are supposed to be a metric based country.by dissidence - General
ah a fellow canadian. i feel your pain.by dissidence - General
i have one of there hot ends but i will say that it is not all stock, i switched out the hobbed part for one from ebay that was better imo. but yes they are more finicky, but i have put almost 3kg of abs with little trouble through mine.by dissidence - General
very good point vegasloki, but i have been noticing that some of the open source tools are starting to get more mature, i hope in time i can use more fully open tools.by dissidence - General
Did you try netfab.?by dissidence - General
There are a few reasons why they do it. That's how eagle came to be one of the top used PCB tools. If you want people to buy your program the best way is to get them when they are beginning. In some ways it makes a lot of since. It not like eagle looses anything by giving away there limited free version.by dissidence - General
i just had a idea, just make 2 springs and join them at the ends so that in slicer you could just do a spiral vase print and you would end up with 2 springs to boot if you needed more than one.by dissidence - General
lol i never even knew that forum thread was there. they have apcb one too that i have been eyeing to try too. what little i have tried with it though i do like. i have never been able to figure out how to do this in sketchup rounded corners or to get the middle to meet up like that.by dissidence - General
a few weeks ago i saw a hackaday link to DesignSpark Mechanical. i have just fiddled with it so far, and so far i am unsure what to think of it. I can do more complex things with it than i could do with sketchup. I still have yet to learn how to do some very basic things still like erase lines and faces. but i was wondering if anyone else out there has used it, and what they think of it. i willby dissidence - General
