very good idea leav! Ant, I'm sorry all I read from your question is: "is anyone willing to make me some free parts" without any information on WHAT parts. maybe you'd be more successful in finding someone that is willing to spend hours and hours for your unspoken idea if you add the "parts to be printed" to your question. that way a potential partner in crime could see what he had to offer (inby sid - Reprappers
well since the backplate of the transistor ist connected to the ground pin, and all transistors are equal and equaly grounded that shouldn't be a problem (as long as you don't hit another trace with the cooler) To make sure you can remove the cooler for a testrun, but I think the problem is elsewhere. maybe you should try with other pins int pwm_a = 9; int pwm_b = 10; int pwm_c = 11; or check tby sid - Controllers

Or you can simply go the mcWire path and use some silicone tube, faster and easier to "make" (i.e. cut to desired length), cheap and best of all it's almost impossible to ruin your stepper or cartesian even without endstops 'sidby sid - Mechanics
1) No, not as far as I know 2) because eagle is very common for pcb creation and eagle shematics can be read by each and every creation service If you don't want the board to be double sided (although you can etch double sided boards pretty well at home) you may try using soldering bridges for crossing paths 'sidby sid - RepRap Host
Good luck! The aluminium L shape extrusion you can buy at the hardware store here are known not to be perfectly straight sometimes. So check twice Did I see correct.. no guideing rods.. just the L-shapes? Do you intend to grease or do you have some sort of ptfe foil material to make it slide easily? 'sidby sid - Mechanics
well.. since I guess it's metric thread M8 (x1.25) I think any 0.5mm solder will do (one turn is 1.25mm wide, half mountain half valley... you need to fill the valley.. that's 0.625mm but the solder is round not triangular and who cares anyway... so 0.5mm solder) Sources.. well ummm NEXT!

If you have a good support on the free end of the yAxis this may work. I'd go for six skatebearings and two aluminium angles of ~130by sid - Mechanics
it surely does. The rods in the rendering are much longer than in the final cartesian. they are 600mm long on x and 450 on y) the final cartesian is more likely 450 x 350 for x and y because they're only 10mm in diameter. but the longer rods make a much more elegant picture for a rendering for the same reason I didn't show the baseplate motors stabilizers threaded rods (well they take too longby sid - Mechanics
sure.. as soon as you lift the zAxis the yAxis will surely tilt. No matter what kind of frame you have you'll need a guided support on the "free end". And even worse than that as soon as you move the xAxis the guides have to move too, therefore you need a second xAxis (both the second x and the second z don't have to have a stepper they can be moved by belts for example) I can't imagine how yoby sid - Mechanics
well... If you add a second zAxis it'd be fine That way you not only need static support but a second zAxis. And because the zAxis is mounted on the xAxis.. another one of that too Those modules are very nice but connecting all three together is not that a good idea. Mount all on one frame but independently (connect just x and y or y and z) take a look at hydraraptor, nophead uses modules likby sid - Mechanics

Hi, you may try the portable version that I posted here: it comes with all java files bundled and you have nothing to do but unpack and run the exe (description inside) It's 0.9 but I guess you can just downgrade the reprap folder for the new version, if not use the newer one 'sid wow three tries just to type a 9..

yes, true... but with that alone you can't do the job. You have to built a frame that lifts the x-axis to have the vertical movement BELOW the z Axis not above (where it is at the very moment), then you'll figure that you have a serious problem with a tilting y-Axis what makes you come to the conclusion that you need to have support on both ends of the y-Axis. And you'll end up with something coby sid - Mechanics

Sorry Viktor but although the scale can only update every 20ms it can be moved alot faster than that it simply doesn't display every 0.01mm If it displays every 0.1mm (what should be fairly enough for the darwin) it can be moved 50mm/s much faster that nophead is printing at the moment. And those scales would help alot realigning different layers, it doesn't matter if the head takes half a seconby sid - Mechanics
why rotate the entire reprap? Some new bed corners for the z axis and a four motor conversion (just like nophead for example) and one could tilt the build table at least some degrees. The tilt depends mostly on the bedcorners so having a good design for that we could fab overhangs to 30 maybe 25 degrees that should be enough I guess.

The thermoplast extruder is a very tricky thing to build especially without a lathe, so having some sort of "just hack a ...." would be a huge benefit indeed. I recently bought a desoldering gun wich unfortunately has a very small inner tube (1.8mm) so no chance to feed our 3mm filament. Now I ordered an incar soldering iron (12V 30W) wich I believe would be closer to our needs. fiy a zhongdi zdby sid - General
