Re: tech zone - 15 years ago
My tech zone electronic set was lost in the mail, and after 6 weeks Kimberly sent me another one. Then after about 8 weeks (from first order date) both sets arrived in Norway almost at the same time. The packages was stamped from the post office with the same shipping dates Kimberly supplied. (April 28. & May 20.). We decided beforehand that I could buy both sets if they showed up, so I sentby Nudel - General

Re: File Formats, Compatibility, and Open Source - 15 years ago
Good points. This is one of the reasons why great projects like OpenSCAD parameterized mendel is started. Though so far I've been able to look at the official designs with the supplied .stl files through Wings3D or OpenSCAD. Not optimal as the triangulation process makes the models hard to modify, but it is often sufficient if all you want is a closer look.by Nudel - General

Re: Converting a PC power supply. With custom kill switch! - 15 years ago
Thank for the explanation nophead! So the only reason for connection it like this is if you have several RepRaps connected to the same PSU, and want to switch them off individually. I'll look into something more elegant later on, when I actually have more than one RepRap running. Here's the wiki entry so far.by Nudel - Controllers
Re: Converting a PC power supply. With custom kill switch! - 15 years ago
Thanks everyone! I'll incorporate more duck tape in version 2.0 As I feel I now have to stand by my new signature, I've made a small wiring schematic for the wiki. But before I put something wrong up there I'd like to know if the wiring even makes sense. I'm especially thinking about the switching of the 12v wire.

Re: programming - 15 years ago
My personal preference and recommendations as to modelling programs are Wings3D (for polygon mesh modelling) and OpenSCAD (for CSG). A bit of programming experience is good to have when using OpenSCAD. Browse a bit at thingiverse to see some coding examples and get a feel for the language. One good starters example is thing 3247.

Converting a PC power supply. With custom kill switch! - 15 years ago
Hi folks! I tested my tech zone remix electronics kit today, and everything worked well. The motors moved as expected, the opto endstops triggered and the construction held up. The Z axis jammed now and then though, but all in all, a successful first test! To supply 12v I wired up an old 250w power supply I had lying around, and during the testing process nearly tripped and ripped everything doby Nudel - Controllers
Re: Alternative ABS Coil resource? - 15 years ago
You might want to look for a local supplier of ABS plastic welding rods, which is often readily available from several places. There might be some quality issues which can make a problem for extrusion though, so try out a bit first.by Nudel - General

Re: need help making a thermistor table... {I got it... solved] - 15 years ago
I'm uploading the firmware to my tech zone remix kit, and have this thermistor from ultimachine. It's model number B57560G 104F like MB says above. But the model on the wiki is B57540G0 104F? Unfortunately the datasheet from the supplier is not available. So I'm not able to check if the specifications differs, or calculate another one.

Re: Extruder stepper Question... TechZone-Remix [solved] *Added Pics.. - 15 years ago
Thank you Mdbaughman2 for the pictures and your work on the how-to faq. I find it very helpful as I just received my electronic set, and am just now wiring it together. Is it a good idea to solder the grounding modification anyway, even before testing the boards, just to be sure? Or would it be enough to add the cd-rom audio cable to start with? I made a illustration of where all the ground poinby Nudel - Controllers

Attaching the thermistor to the nozzle itself is probably also a good idea, which I found out after I had finished wiring up.by Nudel - For Sale
Re: Trying to build the First Mendel in Greece (Brainstorming...

First of all, welcome to the forum! Just wanted to say that you don't have to use the cap screws if they're expensive to source locally. Personally I use cheap hex bolts like this one. The m4x40 bolts only set me back about 2.5€ for 25 at my local hardware store, and work just fine. (A few places is a bit tight fit). You can use wood instead of acrylic if you can't find it.

Re: 8mm thick sheets? - 16 years ago
The wiki says 4-6 mm http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_materials_procurement#Thick_Sheet But I don't see why 8 mm shouldn't work? You might run into some height problems on the frog, but you could always counterbore the bottom bolts. And of course it will weigh more than a thinner alternative. I will now dispence my usual advice: Try it! And if it doesn't work, put it up on the wiki so the next perby Nudel - General Mendel Topics
Re: drawing - 16 years ago
What program are you using? How much off centre is it? Please post an example. If it's a tiny amount, perhaps it could be from the conversion? And the tear drop holes would seem to be a bit off centre, so to speak.by Nudel - General
