Well that's good to know because I'm still yet to hear from him, at least he's checking his emails.by remondo - General
MotoBarsteward, would it be ok to include your photos on the J-Head wiki page? The current images are outdated and I'm sure people would benefit from a visual representation of your tidy wiring. Your images would of course be accompanied by credit if you so wish. Would it be ok to use some Thermal Compound for computer CPUs to ensure optimal heat transfer from the resistor to the nozzle?by remondo - General Mendel Topics
No problem, I'll get a multimeter tomorrow, thanks. I ordered a digital caliper last night as well as isopropanol. Is it a good idea to degrease the smooth rods with this, as well as clean the glass? I thought 10A would be a bit risky but the only place I have found 13A wire is on kettles, toasters, hoovers etc and they're all in good working order. I'll have a look around work tomorrow, we justby remondo - General Mendel Topics
My thoughts exactly nophead! The instructions thus far are excellent, I can only imagine James is under a lot of pressure to deliver each batch on time and as a result he has not had time to complete them. I'm still waiting for a response from him regarding the missing linear bearings which have halted my progress on the build. It's getting to the point where I would not recommend him due to hisby remondo - General Mendel Topics
Yes I just realised they're thermsistors and came back to correct myself but you were too quick! I've also just noticed the Etemp and Btemp terminals on the Melzi board. What are the centre taps? Also I have read that a mosfet heatsink for the hotbed is recommended, what sort should I be using? Which LED's and resistors should I use for the heat bed then? There are thousands of different types,by remondo - General Mendel Topics

I received my batch 4 ABS Prusa on Saturday and I'm generally impressed, with exception to the missing Linear Bearings which are hindering my progress. I'm not sure if there is an issue with the supplier or if it was just in error but I'm yet to hear from James with it being bank holiday weekend. I managed to get the frame together in an afternoon's work and spent the next afternoon putting theby remondo - General Mendel Topics
