Re: Mega2560 - Advice? - 9 years ago
Some comments, in no particular order.... co processor? no not really, its simply implments serial over USB. There is no ethernet support in standard reprap firmware. You would have to write something to support it. the R3 serial implmentation is better that earilers attempts, from what I read, and some pre R3 boards wont reboot correctly when requested to in software (the latter is fixableby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Re: Just a thought (Noob alert!!!) - 9 years ago
You have missed tho whole point. 3d printing is additive,. Ie no waste (well very little) vs subtractive, where 90% of material could be thrown away. You just want a 5 axis cnc mill. But in the 3d printing world, there are people working on adding more axis, so they can print anything without having to worry about overhangs and support etc... But its in its infancy. generating 5 axis gcode isby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Re: Printing size on i3 ?? - 9 years ago
The internet says 180x180mm (myne doesnt move yet so I cant confirm... ) So 152.4mm (6") is a bit small.. Nothing stopping you doing that of course, your just going to have lots of space around your hot bed and a smaller build size.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

"A mate of mine is organizing a talk for the local radio club (Branch 56, Riccarton) and is interested to know if someone with a 3D printer (preferably home-made, maybe RepRap) would be willing to bring along their kit and do a demo one evening.

Re: Problem with uploading marlin to sanguinololu - 9 years ago
There is something "wrong" with the 1284p bootloader that comes with arduino, or at least I couldn’t get it to work either. I’ve seen others having the same issues... see for how I installed a blank 1284p into my SL and got it working. The stuff you want starts about half way down the post. If your AVR is setup in arduino you can just flash the boot loader via the IDE, my AVR wasn't setup whby Dust - Sanguino(lolu)

Re: printer software error "Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting)" - 9 years ago
The issue is the hot end thermistor. It needs to be connected and working correctly and reading realistic temperatures, ie using correct thermistor tables for the hardware This is a safety 'feature' of Marlin.by Dust - Sanguino(lolu)
Re: Are stepper drivers a must - 9 years ago

Re: Connectivity issues - 9 years ago
Is your reset enable jumper in place? (between the 644p and the pololu drivers) Is there a boot loader installed on your 644p? You have installed the Sanguino driver into Arduino and selected Sanguino as your board type? Or are you using a 1284p? Also you can't control the LED on the SL with blink, you would need to add a LED onto an IO pin. The one on the board is always on when power iby Dust - Sanguino(lolu)

Re: Z axis wont move up during print? - 9 years ago

Re: Stuck at "Uploading to I/O board" - 9 years ago
The 644p must have a have a boot loader installed for you to install this way. Where did you get your 644p? did it come as part of a a kit? if so did it say anything about having a boot loader.? If you just got a 644p from a nornal (non reprap) electronics supplyer it will be blank. You will need a special bit of hardware to put a boot loader on it.
