Main issues are HBP vs printed y carriage... ie its going to want to melt... And you cant print something wider than the print bed for the lower print bed... thus they are normally in 2 parts But good luck!by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
You will probably have to update the firmware in the AVR. Details on the resources tab on robokits page. Bowden looks greatby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

I know you said you googled it, but did you see and they are using windows 7 and arduino version 0023 and successfully using 1284p on Sanguinololuby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
It looks like your printing a bit to hot to me... lower your temp a bit. Basically it needs to cool and harden as it moves across. If its to hot, that cant happen. I bridge at 30by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
My teflon tube arrived today, It looks good. Seem to be a good size and filament moves nicely in it.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
I disagree strongly that marlin is better than sprinter. Sprinter is a lot more stable. Marlin also doesnt support older hardware like SL 1.0 (anything below SL 1.3A in fact, haven't checked the ramps side) But Marlin is the only firmware that supports a led display, and auto PId tuning is in beta on Sprinter (last I looked). The rosstock code is also only in the marlin derivative for now (sometby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
RAMPS (RepRap Arduino Mega Pololu Shield) is a shield, it uses the same stepper driver modules as the Sanguinololu And it need either an atmega1280 or atmega2560 to plug into.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Sanguinololu is a single board + stepper modules, the arduino is the big dip chip on the board.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
I run Sanguinololu and ramps, both of which run Sprinter and Marlin firmware so Pronterface/Slic3r is fine with them.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

You need insulation around your hot end if you have a fan blowing at it. eg makergear hot end comes with Rubber Coated Black Fiberglass Insulation, and has two layers of this over the hot end.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

you are re measuring the filiment thickness when you change colour and updating your software with the new value? they are all slightly different thicknesses.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
All colours do behave slightly differently I love the way Amber tint behaves. blue tint I never got bridges to work very well.. But I didn't get a lot of time to test. red tint, orange, yellow,black, glow in the dark, dark blue and green where all very good Purple was slightly rougher, but that was early on, so was probably me. White is fine, but boring. Silver I found difficult to print wiby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

I was sceptical about adding a fan for a while, then tried it, I will never go back! It is very hard to quantify what it does, but it basically solidifies the plastic quicker so there is less deformation I use a y carriage with a 40mm fan mount egby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

teflon tube sorted (for those planning on using 3mm ) Some people may want a larger internal diameter, but so far all 3mm PLA from Diamondage has been around 2.75, so thats lot of clearance in my books. This supplier has other diameters...by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Have not started printing yet, Finishing off my mendelmax first. Also sadly the rods and pulleys and belts are all back ordered, vxb tells me it could be several months for the rods Also cant get the ptfe tube... available from mcmasters (the rotters who wont ship outside of the US) But will work on that when I have the delta moving, also wanting to try a 3mm bowden as 1.75mm is just to expenby Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Ive been looking for powdered ABS or PLA, haven't found any yet.... But your never going to get injection molding quality from a reprap. Ive printed stuff at 0.09mm layers and the human eye can still see the darn layers!by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Right, first thing, judge interest in a club Please raise your hand if your interested in a chch reprap/3d printing club of some sort. (raise hand == post something here, in this case) What do you want? Formal or informal type structure? Anyone got a space we could occupy? Meet how often? Monthly, bi monthly? What else needs asked?by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group
There is no existing club in Chch that I know of. You could start one. There are a bunch of us in chch with machines in various conditions from fully working threw to just started.by Dust - New Zealand RepRap User Group

PLA sticks to Blue tape or warm glass "Blue Tape a painters masking tape found most commonly in US hardware stores or painting supply stores. It comes in several widths, but is commonly found in 3" and 4" rolls. It's possible that the blue part is trademarked or copy-written by 3M, because apparently in Denmark, masking tape is Yellow.
