hey guys i got my Config H ready and when i go up upload i get this #error "Pins for this chip not defined in Arduino.h! If you have a working pins definition, please contribute!"
but im using an AVR_ATmega2560 which is defined above so i dont understand why it wont work. any help would be great. its on a hictop

Firmware - Marlin
Does anyone know if it it possible to put the firmware from a PRintrbot onto a reprap? i really like how i can control everything from cura Pronterface and if i could make my hictop operate the same as my Play that would be the cast meow. if anyone knows how let me know. other then swapping to a Rev F6 Printrboard im not sure how.

Keep us posted on results.....I was thinking of using a george forman grill press for some of my parts,
or a trouser press, or a pannini press or something...to bind the layers, and flatten the buggers out.
will do, im expanding from my home here soon to an office space that has power included in a fixed rate rent. so it wont be so bad running 4-5 machines plus this oven.

not sure microwave would be a solution, the way it creates the heat is a little different...but I could be wrong.
wasnt going to use a microwave, i picked up a Black and Decker CounterTop Convection oven today for $55 Canadian. im going to give it a go, it looks like it will have a fairly good size for the job.

... how big are your parts?
If small enough, then you can put them in a metal box and in a pot with cooking water, what's near enough to 100c ...
Well, i would like a 12" cube to work in since my largest machine will do a 10" cube, but in the instructions for annealing from polymaker, they said use a normal convection oven, i was wondering if a smaller toaster over or something like th

Hey guys i ran into a material that requires annealing, similar process to hardening for steel just at lower heat, i need to have my items sit in a heat chamber at 100c for 1 hour then cool, my thoughts are, that i could get away with this by using a small toaster oven, rather then using my oven in my kitchen, and its small enough to fit in my office. what do you guys think about this or do you h

sorry i should have been more specific about that pricing issue
MPCNC hardware kit = $275
its plastic components = $195 (however we will be making our own in house so we do not need these.)
conduit is $5/10ft * 40 ft for good measure = $20
aluminium bed, $250
we will be selling it with the focus on 3D printing, and it will come from us with a dual head, $100 for the pair
plus the heater $250, the

The max print height will be 600mm from the bed.
The main focus on the machine is 3D printing. We were discussing it today and have decided the machine will ship in a basic dual head set up with a bed probe.
As for the laser, it's a laser engraver just like the unit that was posted in the YouTube video of a MPCNC, and as for the CNC part, we're going to be discussing if we want to use the dewa

Well, the MPCNC, sells for about $450 plus you have to add your own frame, now with out a heated bed this is easily within our budget, I get a deal on Aluminium so the heated bed part is $250 a machine for Aluminium and another $200 for the heater. We're going to print out our own plastic parts because ours requires the stiffer options and the probe. So explain to me again how I am missing the fi

We believe it can or at least most of them, the Canadian side has a Printrbot simple metal w heated bed so between the 2 machines we are confident we can make the parts needed for the jumbo machines.
We have also decided that we will be selling our version of the MPCNC, with the same production capacity, heated bed, and set up for 3D printing with the auto leveling bed probe. For $2000 USD plus

Were going to use the mpcnc design, we found an improved models for the centre and Z motor mount, we are hoping that these will allow us to increase print speed, our US division, Pearce Industries USA, is interested in laser engraving as well as Cnc work. They will probably recieve that tech first while ours is focused on 3D printing.
Our US side will be receiving a M3D Micro to start making par

You know actually the more I look at it that Vgroove rail I think we work perfectly for my application. As for my bed bowing I'll figure something out, maybe put some angle iron under the bottom or something.

See the Shapeoko CNC machine for ideas
You desire a X axis gantry where the entire gantry moves up/down in Z
Trolleys and drive from this type of machine maybe a inspiration.
Might want to look at Vee rails for trolley tracks
This guy is knows what up, that's perfect! Now how do I make it work for 3D printing?

I ment, .4 nozzle I print in generally. .2mm layer height. And I can tell by the comments most of you are quite lost on the design, the bed was always stationary other people suggest that it move. As for the Prusa part, the idea was to take the gantry of a prusa and just make it bigger to reach the required spec.

it seems a lot of you missed the part where i said moving gantry stationary bed. never the less bed isn't moving, only the gantry is, if this machine doesn't move fast i'm fine with that. and i didn't plan on milling the giant surface, on the edge where the trolley will ride so it rides smooth. the plan was to use PrintrBots, system that the simple metal uses, but change some of the values for th

Well if I go alot thicker I won't be able to lift the damn things, plus I have to ship it to the US after we get one built.
We will figure something out for getting the surface flat enough.

I&M metal in Saskatoon idk if you wallet the same deal as I got because I am one of there transporters for metal they bring in and out. But that's also a cash deal. Hell it's probably a pay for materials and put cash in the bosses pocket kinda deal.
As for the print head, the diagonal approach might work, and if I use a probe and tell it to check height at 300mm (centre) it will be able to

Ok so rough drawing with the gantry, going going with 2 travel motors on belts, 2 elevation motors with threaded rod, and 1 travel motor on belt for the head just like a prusa.
I've only worked with the Prusa I3 and printrbot simple metal. I'm using a metal bed like this because my simple metal uses a metal bed roughly the same thickness, and it has a probe for auto bed levelling because I hat

Here are some rough sketches.
I'm going to take the Prusa I3 gantry and make it work for my application. The trolley will be interesting and I'll need the exact OD of those little roller bearings but otherwise shouldn't be too bad haha.
