anyone have experience using direct drive extruder with 3mm pla? does the average stepper have enough torque to push the filament thru with out some gearing?by bigkahuna - General Mendel Topics

Starting to print out these parts to upgrade and reuse vitamins from my old I2. I see that i can reuse the y motor mount. My question is (at this time) about the vertex pieces. I see 3 sets of 2 vertexes but I am unsure which are front or rear and inside or outside in the rear Can I reuse old ones from my I2?) I'm a little timid about the reuse of parts because once I tear down my old machiby bigkahuna - General Mendel Topics
I got it to work, completely reinstalled 0022 and it works now.by bigkahuna - General
anyone still active on this project, I got the firmware to compile using 0022 but my uno won't upload. I can upload using 1.05 but the firmware won't compile. Johnby bigkahuna - General

I have the same problem with my prusa. A simple solution that insures that the distance is always correct.... I use Ponterface and have created a "Z=0" Button. 1: Preheat the heated bed and extruder and position the extruder in the center of the heated bed . 2: Home the Z axis on a slip of paper and adjust up or down as required using the Z 0.1 + / -, 3: When the height is satisfactoby bigkahuna - Reprappers
I am currently building an Eggbot using print files and software from - Thingiverse "Finucane Derivative Eggbot". After fighting it for a couple of days I think I finally have the "tool chain" to work and the Arduino firmware compiled and uploaded. The commercial eggbot uses Inkscape with an "extension" that transmits gcode and has manual commands etc.. I can only see one way to control theby bigkahuna - Reprappers
No one bid on these parts last week so I relisted on ebay. This week there is a bid so if you are interested better take a look! The auction goes off Sunday evening.by bigkahuna - Delta Machines
I started building the Cerberus 3D Printer but decided that my Prusa printed really well and what I really needed was a CNC router. I am re-using the 8015 extrusion and steppers etc. but these parts are not used in my new project. Most were originally purchased from Steve at Grabercars.com and are as good as new.... 3 - 18mm O.D.

I have a V2 Linear Prusa from MakerFarm and I am really happy with the machine. The quality of the kit and the customer service were really excellent!by bigkahuna - Reprappers
I tried setting TEMP_SENSOR = 0 (not used) and that fixed this problem.by bigkahuna - Reprappers

I am building a new machine and I am using an azteeg x1 and mendel firmware. I haven't installed the hot end yet and that is probably my problem Running Pronterface and pushing reset I immediately get... "extruder is off, min temperature is triggered Error printer haulted kill() is called" I get a "thunk" when I push reset but nothing will move. I commented out the line...

I have a V2 Linear Prusa Kit from MakerFarm and have been printing for a couple of weeks. The only major problem I had was that I bought the cheapest PLA and learned the hard way that anything over about 3.07mm filament would not go through my extruder; therefore I now only use filament specified as 2.9mm +- 0.1mm. I use a heated bed with a piece of ordinary glass, clean it with windex and haveby bigkahuna - Reprappers
I started having the problem you describe and discovered it was my filiment. Using filiment spec'ed as 3.0 +or - .1 mm worked ok for about 1/2 a roll and then my hobbed bolt started striping the filiment. I measured and found that the diameter had crept up to about 3.07mm and it would not fit through the tubing in my extruder. It was within spec but won't work with my extruder. I now use filimby bigkahuna - Reprappers
