Just returned home and trying to start up my Mendel 90. Began by recalibrating and leveling the table. The nozzle height was some distance from the bed glass and so I remembered to change the Arduino sketch to a higher "Z" value.
Having changed the sketch, it will not compile and reports as follows :- main.cpp:ll:undefined reference to "setup" & main.cpp:ll:undefined reference to "loop".

I have returned to printing some ABS parts quite happily. Since the last time, I have added Kapton tape to the glass bed. - Using ABS slurry on the Kapton sticks like the proverbial, but cleaning the oversplash after the print is problematic. I could previosly use a mild abrasive action on the bare glass. But how to remove it from Kapton? I have been pouring very hot water on it and scratching

Is it common for heater plates to warp or be distorted by the leveling process??? - I can "clock in " my Mendel 90 to within .005mm on the four corners, hot. But I am left with a diagonal distortion, almost exactly at 45 deg. to the platen front. This of course gives serious temperature variations across the diagonal void left by the bow under the glass.Please forgive any ignorance as I only hav

This is a serious and genuine cry for help. - I have enjoyed my secondhand Mendel 90 very much. It has introduced me to 3D printing very effectively. - I would now like to move on to another used printer that would be an effective upgrade. Something enclosed and maybe auto bed leveling. Spools not cassette. - I do not have enough experience to make a really informed choice in order to move f

Probably ridiculous, but is there any way to run Pronterface on an Android tablet?

Hi! Could anyone help please with the following Arduino compiler report :-
core.a(main.cpp.o): In function `main':
C:\Users\Rod\REPRAP1\Original MD90 files\3D Printing\arduino-1.0.1-windows\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\Melzi\cores\arduino/main.cpp:11: undefined reference to `setup'

Thanks yes. Did this early on. All Pronterface manual commands are accurate. As are the prints I make off the SD card (on the Panelulo2) generated by the previous owner.
Just cannot print my designs, or any downloaded designs. Even though the pre-print report on Pronterface advises the the correct dimensions.
After three days of parameter changes and experimentation, I feel like my brain is stuck

Would the steps in the firmware be incorrect if it is working from the the old print files. I guess I am asking if the step/min/sec are contained in Gcode/*.G files. If this is the case then I can see way forward.
Will be checking again in the firmware for my Step/min/sec printer settings.
Thanks for advise so far.

No clues in the Gcode.
How does Slic3r find the steps per minute for it`s configuration? I have not found a reference to it, or a call for it.
Here`s hoping that someone will know better.

Hi - Thanks for reply. Will be trawling through the Gcode, on the good files, for clues today.

I am a newbie. Have printed successfully from my Medel90 + Panelulo2 from files on the SD card prepared by the previous owner of the machine.
Downloaded some files into slic3r fine. Sliced and sent .G file to Pronterface. Pronterface appears to process OK with all the preprint reports giving the correct sizes and weight. when I print thro the USB cable the printer moves about 1/10th scale. -

Repost from general:
I have a used Mendel90+Panelolu2 and I am trying to upload a new config h ( to adjust my Z zero height) to the Melzi board.
I am using Arduino 1-0-1, which verify`s and transmits my update. Reporting it as successful.
I then use pronterface to load M502 followed by M500.
Then home all axis and the zero has not changed.
Being a newbie I am completely flumoxed.
Please if you ca

Getting report after attempted Arduino file load :- "avrdude: stk500_getsync () : not in sync : resp= 0x00"
Any clues in that please!
