I Rob and other group members Have you looked at or try the Repetier-Host software for your new machine. I have start to play with the software. It is well designed and easy to use. Any members got a feed back on the Repetier-Host software ! Have we got a date and place for our next meeting ! Any bits that i can help to make using my workshop for your new machine let me know Paulby Paul2d3d - West of England RUG
Hi Rob, good to hear from you. Looks like your new machine is making progress, what size is your print area I too have been making some changes to my machine, larger motors and lots of work redesigning the hot end and heat bed. I found that it took quite a long time for both to reach temperature. I have tried out the 12v 40W Ceramic Cartridge Heater; they work very well and use less power.by Paul2d3d - West of England RUG

Heat Bed stays ON When I switch on the power to my RAMP 1.4 on my prusa type design machine, the heat bed led comes on and the heat bed starts to heat up.
