o gawd ... and this PDF u made was 3 months ago ... and it looks so fantastic ! most of you have already build at least 1 machine, as for me, i have only finish one unit of X axis LOL (but it is over 600mm long). i do think the AT2560 can do much more, however, that will require some re-design (i just tried KiCad, and it is so much more fun then my stiffy veroboards), maybe a docking board thaby redreprap - Developers
same schematic, i had another go. diff layout is xxx.ngc files even readable by marlin ?by redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
hmmm wad a bummer tnx for the input. i hope not to touch programming, that would really branch me off into oblivon, my brains are so small, i doubt i can handle more LOL. i think my current obsessive curiosity is to find a probable workflow out of what is available. there seems to be alot, and flipping around between linux and XP has been great so far with some help from VMware. n yes i think wby redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
tried again after ubuntu update, this time, the browse works. but right after you selected that. buttons get greyed out in the appby redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
well then i finally got a copy of linux to work. and some visolates ... but i ran into this Comment at line 1: (created by PCBNEW (2013-03-19 BZR 4004)-stable) date 22-Mar-13 09:25:53 Comment at line 3: Gerber Fmt 3.4, Leading zero omitted, Abs format Comment at line 8: APERTURE LIST Comment at line 18: APERTURE END LIST Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationby redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
hello folks, after some diggin around in cyberspace, i managed to find a program call CNC viewer from the viewer, i could see that the gerber file contains milling paths for the PCB i made i also managed to get a converter "pygerber2gcode". but it doesnt seem to be converting correctly. the gcode output file seems to only indicate a drill run instead lol. the jpeg pic depicts what the PCB shouby redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
have anyone tried to use kicad and --> HPGL --> hp2xx ?? hmmmmby redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
or its linux only?by redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
ah tnx ... i clicked on an old link. n i dun think i am getting it to work anytime soon ... lol i dun get it, its a MSDOS kind of a command line thingy?by redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
oh no ... visolate is no longer available?by redreprap - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
i need a pointer on why the PCBnew, when printing as a jpeg (using pdfcreator plugin), doesnt render the tracks like a normal track. is there something i missed? (i just learnt to use it 6hrs ago) it works fine on the schematic program.by redreprap - Controllers
o my this is very interesting for me ... 10 stepper channels !!!by redreprap - Controllers
wow, i am just scrutinizing the heater bed. it looks like a really small print area like a cup cake thingy. so how big is this print area? mac2 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > So the package got caught up in customs for a few > days, they sent it through a freight forwarder > (A&A worldwide) that has been flagged by US > customs. > > It jby redreprap - For Sale
o my look at this, so cool! so in 1 run, it is possible to have CMYK i suppose ... but then again, each color runs at a slightly diff temperature doesnt it? i bet it be possible to "wade-nize" a 4 feed head with seperate pre-heats. 4 channel heater block + 1 main nozzle heater, + 4 channel extruder ! OMG !!!by redreprap - Reprappers
just curious, MDF is kinda made from powdered wood ... so i am guessing ... most screw thread type FFF can print wood if they can mix that powder with a bonding agent yes?by redreprap - Polymer Working Group
wow looks nice! what is the printing thickness? 0.2mm? PLA i presume? for the insides, did you have to use fillers?by redreprap - Reprappers
oh haha ok i guess its a bad electrical contact, nozzle heater u say?by redreprap - RAMPS Electronics
hmmm maybe, you can make a encoder knob thingy, send that pulse into a logic buffer, then drive some kinda 74xxx octet decoder? make that decoder reset at 4bits and pump that into another set of buffer logic gates that will "formulate" correct set of H bridge drive logic, that will give a some sort of manual logic to drive a H bridge? does that make sense?by redreprap - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
yep they are all the same. they came with a factory installed MXL pulley. i am succesful with cracking those off to fit other pulleys but it will leave a drill pilot mark on the shaft if you still want some i guess email me? chris33 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > redreprap Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > >by redreprap - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors

u guys should check out this site call hardwaresecrets, check out their PSU tests. thats where u should get real review on PSU.by redreprap - RAMPS Electronics

this 1 board solution is really nice. at least the drivers are still modular.by redreprap - Reprappers
i think there are a bunch of articles in the wiki on modding normal printers into hybrids. for pcb routing, milling etc ... i am on this path too. but i am way way delayed, i am still tinkering with how to operate my steppers properly hahaha. eg :by redreprap - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors

and if any1 fancies taking apart a stepstick. it appears the china stepsticks do not solder the rear heatpads to the PCB sink. i wonder if the pololu does that?by redreprap - RAMPS Electronics
