Thanks, I guess I'll just give it a bash as it is then!

Firmware - Marlin
Hi Guys, I'm really struggling to work this out!
When I download the Marlin zip from Github, most of the .h files are in a sub folder called src and don't get pulled into the IDE when I open the Marlin.ino file. Any idea why that is? I've tried several different versions and the 1.1.6 older ones have it but I need a more current version so I can use the example configs for a CR20 Pro.
Any help

Firmware - Marlin
@ Quackingplums - I have only read a couple of reviews and the quality was an issue so glad to hear it has been improved. There are times when I'm calibrating that I would like to have all the auto setups. But I guess that now I know a lot more about my M90 and printing in general though!
@ Nophead - Nice work! Sounds like a great solution

If it's any consolation, what I was proposing was purely to automate the existing manual bed levelling to make it simpler for an end user. I don't know too much about the software based auto levelling feature but I'm impressed if it corrects the vertical angle like Nophead is saying. I'd imagine that would make slicing for overhangs etc a bit more complex!
I also found a 3d printer which appear

Hi Chris, I'll have a go at an ABS cam type clip over the next few days but I'll look at the picture clips too so thanks for the tip. With regards the bulldog clips, I was thinking something printed as it makes sense to me that all the other parts are bespoke for the machine seeing as it has the ability to make them. Assuming they don't go all soft anyway!

Hi Neil, yes it is complex compared to the manual method. I guess I'm looking more at the development of the printers to make them simpler to use (overall!) and bed levelling, although simple, is not something I'd expect an end user to have to do. Similar to aligning a laser printer I suppose. While software isn't my area, I'd imagine it would be reasonably straightforward to implement the proced

Hi, have you tried the same object in another slicer? It would determine if it was a slicing or machine issue?
I'd check all belts, screws etc anyway just in case. I'm no expert but hopefully this helps anyway!

I'm not exactly sure how the Marlin auto bed levelling works. I think it probes the bed and adjusts the z height in each location to compensate?
(Apologies in advance for any incorrect technical terms!)
I was thinking about an independant auto bed levelling system and have a rough plan of how to mechanise the current M90 manual system. Essentially I'd have a worm gear and micro continuous rotat

Mine is wired positive to the +ve fan wire and negative to the left P terminal for what it's worth. And it's on constantly.
Did you guys do the PID calibration in the firmware?

Well, my new hot end has arrived and is now working away printing the revised fan duct and bracket (courtesy of RalphHilton, thanks). I can confirm that the v6 fits the M90 and you can retain the E3D fan and blue duct which comes with it. I'm not sure if it will work with the revised fan duct that's printing now but I'll find out in a few hours!
Thanks to everyone who helped with my queries in t

Looks like I'll stay with 3mm for simplicity then. Thanks all for the tips and links! Having read through them I think I understand what's required to get it up and running now

Hi Neil, thanks for your help. I think I'm going to try the E3D as it seems fairly straight forward to install. I like the idea that it's all metal, in my head it would be easier to clean out a jam if I can take it all apart etc
Would it be worth switching to 1.75mm while I'm at it? I have loads of different filaments etc already. I imagine that the thinner filament may be more accurate in the v

Hi Guys
I managed to kill my hot end so I've decided I have two options to replace it, either a straight swap for the same J Head or change to an E3D all metal one. Could someone tell me what I need to do to install the E3D? As it stands I'm aware of a few things:-
1. The hotend cooling fan needs to be on all the time with the hotend (Is there a spare pin out on the melzi which I could control

Well I have gone and backed the project. When/If I receive the bed I will let you know what I think.
I haven’t ordered the magnetic print bed as couldn’t' remember the print bed dimensions after having a drink so I shall mod the heat spreader to take some magnets to hold it in place.
Hi Trilby, I was wondering if you had received your build plate yet and what you think of it? I've

I'm pretty sure you can vacuum mold ABS. If you're thinking of making the mold itself out of ABS then I'd imagine it would depend on how long it's exposed to heat and how close its situated to the heating element. I'd like to be able to do something similar. Maybe if you use a plastic with a lower moulding temp than ABS?

Haha yeah I have a fair bit at the moment but it's not all for me! I'll post details of that soon...

Oh, and it definitely works with three spools too, see.....

Right, finally managed to get a finished print! A bit rough but I'm just happy it worked Never managed to get ABS to stick well enough but the PLA worked out ok anyway.
Mendel 90, no modifications, hotend 200 deg, bed 85 deg (around 64 deg top surface), with fan & duct as per Nopheads kit...

Hopefully this is an easy question!
If I tighten my X carriage belt, will it affect any settings? It all works fine at the moment but I think it could be a little tighter. It just about resonates a bit when plucked, but very low.
'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' jumps to mind though
Thanks

All looks good
It's a great feeling when it works and prints the first android! A bit nervy though... I use mine virtually every day and it's still going well, a testament to a well designed and thought out build by Nophead.
I look forward to seeing more prints!

I guess dust could be an issue, if it ever stays still long enough Maybe some kind of in-line dust filter would work. Just the square bit from nopheads design but sitting just above the extruder assembly...
I like the idea of having more than one spool set up at once but the daichiasuka is also good if it works with several sizes.

I made a very simple 1kg version spool holder today for the dibond version of the kit. I couldn't find one on Thingiverse, so I made my own. Details are here if you're interested
