I was thinking that the weight of the glass on the print bed (and subsequent inertia when changing directions) might throw off the printing.
But since I have not been able to get the tape onto my print bed perfectly smooth I'm definitely gonna try it...

Printing
Hi All,
This is just a note for anyone interested in possibly printing on clear packaging tape instead of blue tape.
I don't like how blue tape produces a dull finish on the surface that touches the tape.
I did not find much on the Internet about alternatives to blue tape, so I decided to try printing on clear packaging tape.
The result is very satisfactory.
The tape I used was similar to thi

OK... but settings for 'Metric Prusa Mendel with Wade extruder' are already included in Configuration.h.
Naturally, those setting will need to be adjusted if you are using 'non-standard' parts.
The settings I propose are just for a 'standard' Prusa that uses SAE parts instead of Metric parts.
My machine was built with SAE Prusa parts and XL drive belts I bought from Colin Farrer on EBay, electro

Firmware - mainstream and related support
To the Sprinter committers,
Please consider including the following lines in Configuration.h as a convenience for your users...
-------------------------------------
// X, Y, Z, E steps per unit - SAE Prusa Mendel with Wade extruder:
//float axis_steps_per_unit[] = {63, 63, 2268, 510};
------------------------------------
I based these numbers on these calculations:
I have verified that the

Why? Because I'm an idiot :-).
That was totally my problem.
I can't tell you how many times I looked at that and didn't realize it was wrong.
Thanks so much.
@mc_n_g: You were the first one to spot it.
When you asked me if I was sure that I had 12V on

I have noticed that my RAMPS board does not have a reset button on it.
That shouldn't be a problem should it?

I don't think its a firmware issue because I have a RAMPS 1.4 board and the RAMPS 1.4 test code doesn't work.
Here's the test code I used:
I have verified that my Arduino works.
When I run this test code red LEDs on the RAMPS board flash but thats all that happens

PS: I originally started out with ReplicatorG and Teacup.
If/When I get the test code to work then I'll go back t

All I have is a fixed focused webcam so these photos are kinda crappy...
This one shows my ATX power supply and the line running from the power supply up to the RAMPS card.
Note that I have shorted the green power on pin.
This on shows the power cord plugged into the RAMPS card
This one will make your eyes water :-) but it shows the motor connections and end stop connections on the other sid

Hi All,
I am building my first Prusa and cant get it to do anything.
I am not very experienced with electronics but I have previously built a CNC router using off-the-shelf electronics.
I am using a fully assembled RAMPS 1.4 board and motors from Ultimachine, a hotend from MakerGear, and an ATX power supply.
My problem is that I can get the machine to do ANYTHING.
Motors dont move, hotend doesn'
