If you have a separate mating surface in the heat block for the heat break then you have to torque it to make a seal, which will lead to people over torquing it and destroying the thin wall heatbreak. By mating the nozzle and the heatbreak inside the block you get all the sealing forces by torquing the nozzle against the heat block, both of which are much sturdier.by extent - General

Looks like you've basically got half of a system I've seen described elsewhere (that I can't find a link for anymore) where a glued belt is used as a rack which is mated by another full length belt which is tensioned by a pair of idlers right by the pulley, just like a printrbot Y axis pulling the motor out pulls tensions the teeth of the driven belt against the teeth of the rack so there's noby extent - Mechanics

I just don't see this working. The solder isn't going to wet out the plastic, its got a ton of surface tension and is just going to want to ball up, channels or no. Think of trying to bridge a gap of solder resist.by extent - Reprappers

Are you using Repetier firmware as well or still the stock Marlin? Dry Run mode only works on Repetier firmware, as it's actually a mode in the firmware that gets switched on, rather than filtering Gcodes on the host.by extent - Repetier
You keep saying that, but you don't really mean it. If they are not at fault then they by definition haven't "screwed over", "misled", "broken trust", or caused anyone to "get burned".

What about Parasolid, STEP, or IGES? I've never had much luck getting openScad files into SW. I'm not sure about using a floating ball. At least I found that as the angle of the joint increased that lateral forces could easily separate it. That's why I ended up pouring ball seats even though the plain ring and ball is plenty enough to hold things normally (in my regular delta bot). During prby extent - Delta Machines
Actually now that you mention it I have seen that freezing behaviour a few times since switching from a 18A medical power supply to the noname 20A. I narrowed it down to something that happens whenever the dishwasher is running at the same time on the same circuit. That's the only time it's ever happened to me. I thought it might be because of the much heavier load that it's under with my currby extent - Reprappers

I've seen a bug more and more frequently recently where changing values in the GUI will just not apply at all. If you make a change, save, switch settings and go back you'll see that the original value is still there. It's easiest to notice if you change a setting and the "Modified" flag does not show up, but that's only good if you don't have any other modifications. It's happened the most foby extent - Slic3r
inverting the direction of each axis is done in the firmware configuration, or you can also use a negative steps/mm value. axis only moving in one direction sounds like it thinks that the endstop is held down setting the motherboard should put you on the right pins, but make sure that the pullups and inverting flag is set properly for each endstop in the main configuration.by extent - Repetier
I've been using a 20A 12V supply I got off amazon without any real problems. It was unhappy once when I had a short on the heated bed and quickly reset itsself. But with everything set properly it's been chugging away no problem on the .8 ohm load of my current setup. It even worked just fine cranked up to the highest voltage at 14v when I was trying to get my old Helios up to 115* (I think itby extent - Reprappers
The dimensions you use in solidworks don't matter at all, but you need to make sure you go into your STL export settings and change the units to mm. Then it will come out properly scaled (but will probably still complain about errors in the slicers, netfabb will clean those up if they become a problem)by extent - General
The rostock bed is entirely static, so what in the design do you really need to be able to put one on? Just sandwich a heater of your choise and call it a day. I built my mini Kossel to 300mm x 250mm (although I'm only printing 200x200x180 ), using Misumi linear rail and Aerostock style mag ends, and the only part that I had to modify/design myself was the carriage (because I wanted perfect scrby extent - Delta Machines
There's not enough room for it to infil, but odd that the Cura slice seems to use a much much thinner extrusion. Slicers auto extrusion width can choose pretty wide values. If you can find out what extursion width Cura is using you can enter that width in slicers settings to force it to use the same width, which would leave more room for infill and should match the slicing between both programsby extent - Slic3r

And just for the curious, here is the entirety of my own dirty hack It's manual deploy/retract, and it spits out estimated correction values to the log similar to PIDautotune rather than just making the fixes itsself.

I've been playing with hacking an auto-calibrate function in for deltas and seem to have run across a slightly more direct way to apply the trims by directly offsetting the delta state and then forcing them to resync, no assumptions about the arm geometry needed. Here's my complete delta homing function with trims. I've got some of the defines replaced with state vars as I've got them exposed tby extent - Repetier
