Was helping a individual who custom built his 3D Printer. His complaints was his prints were a mirror model of what it was suppose to be. And he only realized this when he started printed characters, and saw they were a mirror model. come to find out his X axis was inverted And wanted help with his slicer as he thought that his problem was there, so he wanted to know how to slice a positive moby Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
Yes, Was just saying the Reference image shows the Y-Axis end-stop on the rear . Which is the same as most printer I have seen, never said it was incorrect just different.by Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
You could be correct but I doubt that statement, because you are still assuming. Would not but a ruby tipped nozzle and now will never buy this nozzle so in trying to make sale you have only produced one to despise1 the Product. 1 to regard as unworthy of one's notice or consideration.by Roberts_Clif - General

Firstly, 691175002 said "plated copper block and nozzle" from which I assume a block and nozzle made of copper and plated perhaps with nickle to stop it becoming oxidized, secondly, even if the nozzle was steel and plated with copper the copper with a conductivity of 386 w/m K versus steel with a conductivity of 36 W/m K would contribute a substantial improby Roberts_Clif - General
Quotecozmicray So you are saying to copper plate the hotend? a thin film of copper doing all this? What pHD in thermal dynamics has stated that this would help? Perhaps a FLIR thermal camera to show where the polymer is cooling too fast or is off by 0.0001 deg C Insanity -- set temperature +- 10 c should be OK for any polymer Well said!!!!!!!!!!by Roberts_Clif - General
The design of the Hictop 3D Printers is as follows the Y-Axis End-stop is actually mounted to the Carriage Belt holder, and when the Y-Axis is at the Rear of the Machine the Y-Axis end-stop is pressed against the Stepper motor on the rear of the machine stopping the Y carriage. I designed the Blue adapter because the end stop missed the Stepper motor, when adjusted so end stop would hit the sby Roberts_Clif - Prusa i3 and variants
Your Designed 3D printer appears to be a similar design to my Hictop 3DP12. Your X,Y and Z movements are the same as the The Hictop. My Y-Axis end stop is on the other side of the Y-Axis not know know if this will be a problem or not. When I home the X-axis moves to the Left then to the the Rear of the Machine and of course the Z-Axis Drops to the bed.

I Made a Lighted NC switch circuit. Schematic attached. You do not have to include the LED circuit. Are you using a NC (normally closed) switch, a NO (normally Open) switch will not work. All part should be soldered directly onto the connector or the switch. The lighted Filament Run-out gives you a visual Filament present indication.by Roberts_Clif - General

Hello Wibbles It appears you only need to enable * - MESH_BED_LEVELING * Probe a grid manually * The result is a mesh, suitable for large or uneven beds. (See BILINEAR.) * For machines without a probe, Mesh Bed Leveling provides a method to perform * leveling in steps so you can manually adjust the Z height at each grid-point. * With an LCD controller the process is guided step-by-step. #definby Roberts_Clif - Firmware - Marlin

I ask this question not to long ago, an though the Raspberry Pi software can handle running multiple instances of the software. It is being pushed, an with the cost being so low, was told it make sense to have one per 3D Pinter. However there is lot of information on how to setup for two 3D Printers.by Roberts_Clif - General
Quotejaded AFAIK, My bed level data is saved to eeprom. Using the command "M420 V" shows probe data and "Bed leveling Off". The probe data on eeprom persists with a G28 because my start gcode always issues G28 before a print job. After the G28 my gcode enables the bed level grid and it starts printing. All of this should be in the docs somewhere as that is where I found how to set z offsets,by Roberts_Clif - Firmware - Marlin
