Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 10 years ago
Everyone starts off printing pretty much lumps of poop at some point. Just have to dial in the settings! Wish I took pictures of my failed prints, they were pretty bad, be ready to have a whole bunch of failed prints, lumps of poop, balls of stringy filament etc. Stay with it, keep fine tuning and eventually you'll get great prints!by isonoob - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 10 years ago
if your bed can only get to around 90 degrees celcius comfortably, that's good enough to get an ABS print sticking with additional bed adhesives. I find little difference between 90 to 100 tbh. If you're having trouble getting a part to stick, try putting down blue painters tape on the bed and rubbing a glue stick on the top of the blue tape, dont need much glue.by isonoob - Prusa i3 and variants
Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 10 years ago
Gannicus, If your nozzle is not going down, your z limit switch may not be configured properly, i havent read the whole thread, so I'm not sure what state your printer is in, but if you move the Z-Axis up manually 10mm and then tell it to home and it doesnt move, your Z endstop may be giving out a "TRIGGERED" command. Send in an M119 command to check the status of your endstops. They should allby isonoob - Prusa i3 and variants

QuoteGannicus Thanks guys...I've calmed myself...and will really crack down on this this weekend to get it running once and for all. I just wish there was some way to really pick your brains. A web forum takes too long to get replies etc. LOL I know the issue now is that I don't know how to use the software. I know that. It's all software issues at this point. I don't get why all four of those pby isonoob - Prusa i3 and variants

If this is to actuate on the bed, it wouldn't work since you don't want anything to be at a lower point than the nozzleby isonoob - General

Re: Error: no checksum with line number, last line 41 - 10 years ago
what software are you using? I know with repetier, ive seen some firmware versions require a line number preprended to a command and a checksum appended to the end. Try using repetier host to interface with it, see if you have any luck. Also check your hot end for damage, 700c is pretty high, if it really got there, probably did some damageby isonoob - General
Re: New here! Looking for feedback on a printer I'm considering purchasing - 10 years ago
Not sure why disruptivetech is being so hostile... I always try to find stuff that ships within my country if that helps. try looking around for us based companies (for some reason in my head I made the assumption you're based in the US) such as Makerworks, makergear, makerfarm, can't remember them all off the top of my head, but htere are a ton out there, maybe some others can chime in. bestby isonoob - General
Re: Cheap Filament.... The bottom fell out the market? - 10 years ago
It doesn't necessarily render hot ends useless, but rather clog a hot end which can be a pain to unclog. Ive had clogs a couple times with poor filament myself, but nothing that wasn't fixableby isonoob - General

Re: Leveled Bed >> Auto-Leveling Probe - 10 years ago
doh! guess my views on bed leveling probe aren't so popular! probably why the shift towards manufacturers including them is happnening... Maybe ill dust off the ole induction probe and give it another chanceby isonoob - General
Re: Cheap Filament.... The bottom fell out the market? - 10 years ago
I grabbed a ton of rolls from microcenter, they often sell the toner plastics randomly for 14.99 without advertising it on their website. Not getting any issues so far with it (knock on wood). IMO the quality stuff is UltiMachine plastic, have always been a huge fan, but you just cant beat the price of the microcenter filament.by isonoob - General
Leveled Bed >> Auto-Leveling Probe - 10 years ago
Anyone else agree? Recent put together a PrintrBot Simple Maker Edition kit that didn't come with a bed leveling probe, then purchased the upgrade kit for it and put a bed leveling probe in. Few days later, ditched the probe. Nothing beats a leveled bed thoughts? Is this a universal opinion or am is the inverse popularly agreed upon? I see a bunch of printers coming out now with bed leveling proby isonoob - General

Re: CAUTION! Simplify3D / Reprappro Melzi Users -FIXED - 10 years ago
the settings found in the g-code tab for origin and origin offset override those settings found in tools - options - machine, IF the Update Machine Settings checkbox is checked. I usually keep the checkbox checked and use the correct settings in the g-code tab. This means you should have your build volume 200x200x200 and then origin offset 100x100x0. this will do what u want also i have found soby isonoob - General
Re: Need help setting up Pronterface in Ubuntu - 10 years ago
Just a question, why are you using linux if you don't have no experience with it? You could also try running Repetier Host, it may work for you. You will have to run it's dependency and configure scripts first.by isonoob - General
