It's funny to me. I got into 3d-printing and chose the Reprap project because I was confident in my ability to build something that works well, from scratch... So far, I've had really decent luck. I have no regrets about not buying a "commercial" home 3d option. Seems to me my own machines are more commercial than some of these companies' machines. All we can do is hope people start to catch oby xclusive585 - General

To me it makes the most sense to leave the corner of your bed as 0,0,0 and adjust your slicing software to lay things out at the center of your bed. Just seems more "standard" to do it that way. "-" positions are not really found in g-code unless your slicer is set up to do that. My bed center is 100mm x 96mm for example.by xclusive585 - General

I'm all for any new object repositories. And if Presspin offers a similar service, like a service directory, than I'm ok with that. Perhaps I'll even sign up. Thanks for the links to a few more. I think it would be wise to form a wiki page for object repositories and other places to find objects, and of course include presspin on the list.

Marlin is very susceptible to electtrical noise. My only thought is that unplugging the USB is causing an electrical "pop" thats crashing marlin. This is just a thought though, may be a totally unrelated issue.by xclusive585 - General

3 feet of unshielded ribbon cable between the electronics and the lcd/sd is TOO LONG for a stable connection. I'm a little surprised they think it's not.... Holy cow (*puts "think3dprint3d" on $hitlist)... Now if you are LCD only (no SD), then you may be ok with that length. For a stable SD connection to your electonics with unshielded cable, you want a MAX of 1.5 feet (@457mm). The newer lcd/sby xclusive585 - Firmware - mainstream and related support

The longer length you are accurate at, the more accurate you will be calibrated. 100mm is a good calibration test. The point is, telling your extruder to extrude 100mm of filament should pull eby xclusive585 - Printing
I'm building a delta. In time I will form a final opinion about parallel bots vs cartesians. Right now I see some advantages, we will see how it pans out in the real world. Mainly- less parts! Modern electronics allow is the power to run a complex bot and it's math. This means we can get much simpler with machinery while still accomplishing the same tasks (at the cost of needing ever-growing sby xclusive585 - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
I believe my issue was Arduino being unable to compile marlin due to missing Sanguino extensions... But this was a problem within Arduino, not an issue running the software itself.. As far as the depends, I don't remember off hand. If you try to launch Arduino from a terminal there should be some output as to whats going on.
