In my experience James only ever replied to an email when I threatened to raise a paypal dispute. Shocking but true. At one point sometime after getting my kit (luckily complete) I suggested he take a look at this thread to see the bad reputation he was getting, perhaps do something to counter it, but unless I'm mistaken he hasn't posted anything here. If you need a good hobbed bolt I'd go withby marsbard - General Mendel Topics
I am looking for a small number (5-10) of simple iPhone 4 "cases" / "bumpers". The purpose of these is to be glued into some very high quality leather cases so they must be printed very well in black. Additionally they don't need much material as long as there is enough to safely glue them to the inner surface of the leather. These are for a friend of mine who is a leather goods maker. I gave hiby marsbard - Job Shop: I need stuff made!
oh dear. Thanks for the info nophead.by marsbard - Controllers
I took both thermistors out of circuit and measured them and they are both showing about 100kohm at room temperature. The electronics are still reporting similar numbers even with them disconnected.by marsbard - Controllers
FYI I've also posted my question here as after I posted I realised it was probably a more generic question than just about these kits...by marsbard - General Mendel Topics
I posted this in another thread here but figured it might be better in an electronics thread... It's a Melzi board. ---8<-- I got a blocked nozzle soon after my first test prints and nearly two weeks later still haven't printed anything else I then realised I was putting the PTFE inner on the hotend upside down and causing continual blockages by doing so.

I got a blocked nozzle soon after my first test prints and nearly two weeks later still haven't printed anything else I then realised I was putting the PTFE inner on the hotend upside down and causing continual blockages by doing so. It was just at that time that I broke the lead to the thermistor so ordered a few from RS, part no: 484-0183 - they're smaller than the ones James sent but it seby marsbard - General Mendel Topics

Thanks once again nophead, I'd soldered the wrong side.by marsbard - General Mendel Topics
Thanks to nophead I am printing now, but my hot bed doesn't heat up. I've checked the voltage at the bed and it's almost 10V (lost nearly 2V on my cables) I didn't include the LED; should I have soldered in something to replace it?by marsbard - General Mendel Topics
Cheers nophead, with the jumper installed my laptop now recognises it needs a USB driver. Another step along the way.by marsbard - General Mendel Topics
I've also built the ABSPrusa and I'm really fed up with the lack of instructions. I thought the PSU he shipped was faulty until I found out about the green-black connection to turn it on. However, now I have the PSU working but no response at all from the Melzi board. Someone mentioned an LED on the board, where abouts is it? I can't see it, should it be showing as soon as power is applied? Ohby marsbard - General Mendel Topics
