OK, so I've got two boards fully assembled, they are detected as USB devices. Now I'm ready to load them with a bootloader, but I don't have an arduino just laying around. I could buy one from adafruit, but that makes my electronics costs literally more than doubled. Could I just use USBtinyISP, or is there a walkthrough that doesn't depend on buying what I'm essentially building?by marnargulus - Sanguino(lolu)
I believe the tip should be close to flat, as a rounded tip decreases heat retention near the tip. You don't want the plastic to be cooling/changing temperature before it has completely extruded.by marnargulus - Plastic Extruder Working Group
Snoopy, the point I'm trying to make is that fellow reprappers are not pricing realisticly. Think of it this way: If you needed a 2 liter of soda and your friend was selling it for 4 dollars, but the gas station has it for 2. The gas station is making money even though they don't triple the price. I can understand the plastic pieces being many times their material worth because they take allby marnargulus - Wanted
Is there a group that does realistic pricing on pre cut acrylic bed sheet? The lowest I've found is 30 PLUS shipping. Every company I've talked to said that for 30 bucks they will do 36" X 42", which is a bunch of them. Is there interest in getting a group buy together? I have no problem spending a little bit to fund someone, but at a mark up of 200+% I think this is kind of silly.by marnargulus - Wanted
Got mine in last week, looks great! All traces were complete, only flaw was a VERY tiny trace shrinkage (which I think I remember JoeM saying he decreased it because there was a slight chance of interference with a nearby trace.) The flaw (if it is one) doesn't affect connectivity.by marnargulus - For Sale
Unless that is the 4-set it is a dollar more than the original it is cloning. Until we get these produced cheaper the original is back in stock: update: If you are across the pond these ARE a better deal, with .01 Euro shipping. Shipping from Pololu (in Nevada) overseas raises the price and time to get parts. So us Mericans can order the original, while you euro's get your knock offs. (Wby marnargulus - For Sale
I actually got the board on the first run, I didn't order the parts from mouser because I was going to check against digikey about price differences, but now that mouser project BOM is 404.by marnargulus - Sanguino(lolu)
Does anyone have their BOM saved for mouser or digikey? The project that had been saved is no longer available, and I was hoping to save a few hours of searching.by marnargulus - Sanguino(lolu)
