Hello Reprapers, Thanks for all the Answers! @mlagana: I tried to use some painters Tape and the alu bed directly. @rhmorrison&araspitfire: I'll definitely buy a heated bed and use Skeinforge. When I've set it up I'll redo the Z height adjustment. I'm looking forward to my first prints and will let you know about progress after my holidays Cheers Danielby wpdaniel - Reprappers
Hello Everbody, I experience problems when trying to print. The ABS doesn't stick to the ground plate. I have: *Mendel *Techzone Remix Electronics, Generation 3 *The extruder that comes with botmill kits (geared, one big one small) I think the problem(s) could be: 1. The extrusion rate is too slow. What is a normal extrusion rate? I've seen a video of a Bowden extruder wich is very fast. Miby wpdaniel - Reprappers
Hello Rich Many thanks this solved my problem! I Think I do have the NEMA 17 they look like the ones on Pololu I didn't know about the pots on the stepper controllers and never seen an smd one before ;-) This will probably also solve my problem with the overheating extruder motor... cheers & thanks Danielby wpdaniel - General Mendel Topics
