Mendel90 for sale - 8 years ago

Hi there, I am selling my Nophead Mendel90 machine due to lack of time and energy to become a professional in this area. The machine has been built January 2015, has been enhanced with an LED strip and a RASPI to control it via OCTOPRINT. It was a great start into 3D Printing and I have learnt a lot. Thanks to Chris and the community it was a great time. I am thinking about 250 EUR and would h

Re: Mendel90 connected to Octopi - 9 years ago

Hi Chris, the hint about the acupuncture needle is great. I might be able to try this out. I guess that I misunderstood the part about the thermistor. When going for the one from Oozenest.co.uk, I assume that there is no need to recompile anything, right? Regarding assembly: I'd like to take your offer. And I can also wait. But I might have found a solution to the long shipment time. When brow

Re: Mendel90 connected to Octopi - 9 years ago

Hi Chris, thanks for the detailed information. Do you think that replacing the liner itself could solve the problem? Although something seems to be blocking closer to the nozzle head. Everytime I load the filament, it extrudes for the first few millimeter, and then it gets stuck somewhere. Removing the filament is possible, but the culprits seem to be stuck in the nozzle head. So far, no luck of

Re: Mendel90 connected to Octopi - 9 years ago

Hi Chris, thanks again for your help and a happy new year to you. The FAN can be switched on and off via the Octoprint button --> this test is o.k. then I have checked the G-Code but could not find any M106 command in the whole G-code. I have checked other files and could find it at the start of the second layer (Z=0.4). Thus it seems to be a problem of the slicing and I will re-slice and c

Re: Mendel90 connected to Octopi - 9 years ago

Hi again, printing is working now via Octoprint. What is not working though, is the fan being switched on after layer 1 has been printed. So far I have not found any setting in Octoprint that would let me configure it. I have sliced the print with SKEINFORGE and printed it some months ago via Pronterface. I do believe that the fan was running at that time. Does anybody have any information for

Re: Mendel90 connected to Octopi - 9 years ago

Thanks Chris. Working now. I had to restart Octoprint and also realized, that the Jumperbridge was still closed on the MELZI. After removing this and doing another restart, it has now successfully connected. Yipppiie. Thanks again for the quick response. BR, Harald

Mendel90 connected to Octopi - 9 years ago

Hi all, I am struggling to get my Mendel90 connected to Octopi. Every time I am trying to connect, it tells me "communication error" --> so far I have been browsing the web under Octopi and also Thomas S. tutorial, but this part seems to be left out of the tutorial. How do I load the MELZI HW information into the Octopi Image? Maybe this is the problem, as I did nto yet manage to get this don

Re: SKEINFORGE manuals suddenly disappeared - 9 years ago

Thanks a lot Chris - it is a pitty that nothing has happened, but thanks again for the alternative links. By the way: In case you would have to use a different Slicer than SKEINFORGE - which one would you choose? And would there be any initial configuration table available for this alternative, that would fit the default settings that you have recommended for SKEINFORGE? I have been trying Sl

SKEINFORGE manuals suddenly disappeared - 9 years ago

Dear all, as I did not find a proper SKEINFORGE thread anywhere else, I hope its ok to open this question in this area. I am owner of a Mendel90 from Nophead, printing for more than 2 years now. Every now and then I am trying to start using another slicer than SKEINFORGE but so far I always returned to SKEINFORGE. Maybe I am too stupid to establish the necessary settings in Slicer, Cura or elsew
