Re: Prusa i3 Dual Nozzle? - 10 years ago
Quotemyohmy11 Hi guys, I'm thinking about upgrading my Prusa i3 to a dual nozzle set up like this one: The hardware is not a problem but I'm confused about the software chain.

Re: HicTop Metal Alum Build Mods and Upgrades - 10 years ago
Guys, I did the same thing for the smooth rod, dremeled a lil so that the chamfer on the rod sits in the z-stepper plate. But still the rods come out every time the z axis moves up. So, I used a nut as a spacer on the top support to keep it in place. (see image) My zaxes threaded rods are just grinding through acrylic every time it goes up n down. I have an idea in mind, trying to use a ball beaby warankarp - Reprappers

Quotebob414 Glad I could help. My Z Axis stepper motors do not make a abnormal amount of noise, that normally indicates a bearing problem.. I was getting a rattle from the Z axis screws, that settled down when I modified the bottom of the Z axis rods to stop them from wobbling, That mod is included on this website under HICTOP mod and upgrades.

Ereid, I dont think I can put it on the other side, if you look closely, the m3 bolts from the carriage in coming down on the other side. However, I tried to flip the whole mount and check, but it is still failing to make any contact. Attached is an image. I have also attached a picture of the entire set up. Can you post a picture maybe.by warankarp - Reprappers
Re: HICTOP Prusa i3 extrusion motor - 10 years ago
Guys, Glad to have found this forum for HICTOP printer. I am having some trouble with the Y-endstop. My y-endstop is not meeting anything, as in, I believe it should come in contact with the y-stepper but mine is not meeting. I am kind of stuck as I can't adjust the stepper mount or bearing mount as it may misalign with the belt clamps on the carriage. (pictures attached). Please advise Also, Iby warankarp - Reprappers
