Awesome! I was thinking about a bowden extruder setup also. You have pictures? Also, how fast can you print? I can do 120mm/s with the stocked Gadgets3D hardware.by riceAndWater - General Mendel Topics

Just resolved the issue. The cooling threshold in Slic3r may or may not slow down your prints depending on the object size. If the object size is large enough that the time to complete a layer is longer than the cooling threshold, Slic3r will slow down your prints.by riceAndWater - General
Re: I want to print faster but Marlin firmware has a speed Limit, HELP - 12 years ago
I'm having the same issue also. I noticed it's not the Marlin firmware, I think. You can view the generated gCode with and look at the print speed for each path. I have tried printing an open cube with only perimeters and the print speed setting of 240 mm/s and the generated gCode is never that. There are some unknown parameters in Slic3r that affects the print speed aside from just the prinby riceAndWater - General

Thanks. I'm likely to put in a dispute with Gadgets3D via Paypal also. I bought some M8 T nuts ( $0.80 ) and will be modifying them to work with the original X-Ends. What I really would like is the anti-backlash lead nuts though.by riceAndWater - General Mendel Topics
Re: My gadgets3d mendelmax 1.5 kit build - 12 years ago
depart, I got the same Mendal Max kit from Gadgets 3D and have the same issues. Had to run to the hardware store 4 times already just to get the missing screws / nuts discovered during each of the build phases. I too am missing the critical ball screw and a GT2 belt. Gadgets 3D should really have posted the missing pieces on their site. In hind site, it's better to pay a higher price for a cby riceAndWater - General Mendel Topics
Re: Mendel Max Plastic Part Specification - 12 years ago
Nice hi-resolution pictures! At 0.25mm they look to be doing the job with the help of a few nuts and bolts. Your insights and pictures definitely help in providing some assurance. Now I can probably go back to some folks who were hesitant about printing 100% infill plastics for me. Thanks.by riceAndWater - Reprappers
Re: Mendel Max Plastic Part Specification - 12 years ago
Stephenrc, What are the best spec on the printed parts from your printer using 25% infill at 0.25mm layer plastic parts? Also, since you said you don't have any problems, I assume the prints are consistent over time? This is my first 3D printer and I just want to make sure the plastic parts are not the source of any issues later on. For example, plastic brackets being deformed due to thermalby riceAndWater - Reprappers
Mendel Max Plastic Part Specification - 12 years ago
I'm building a Mendel Max 1.5 and need printed plastic parts. What are the recommended infill percentage and resolution required for the plastic parts? I'm concerned that if the plastic parts are not at 100% infill at 0.1mm or better, there may be tolerance issues and rigidness issues affecting the printer print quality. What are some Mendel Max printed plastic part specifications and the assoby riceAndWater - Reprappers
