Just thought you would like some feedback.
I was using dc42's firmware and web control 1.08 before and had no disconnection problems.
With your 1.09x-ch I have had many disconnections - ajax error
Also, the print status detail is not being updated, I can only get Print Duration updated after a page refresh or reconnection.
I am using simply3d.
The old web control/firmware worked well.

I have used a full reel of black and was very pleased with the quality from excelvan, I have had all sorts of problems with white PLA and have ordered a reel from excelvan I expect it to be as good as the black.

Thanks David.
I very interesting post, I look forward to the details in the future.
Hope the move goes well.
If I can do any testing, please let me know.

This seems to be a problem with the firmware.
I have loaded dc42's 1.09r version and the resume works as it should.

Thank you for all your replies.
I drilled the pneumatic fitting so that the bowden tube goes all the way to the heatsink.
I now have it working and the print quality is very good. I have designed my own mount to be compatible with my modified X carriage. The mount directs the air from the heatsink onto the extruded filament, which is great for bridging. I have also added a second fan for additio

Just had a print ruined, I needed to pause the print to insert a nut and on resume the hotend moved to the correct position but the print did not start again.
This is my pause file:-

Thank you, I think this is the only solution. Use arrays, but the problem is that they are difficult to change.
What is so hard to include a=a+1 in the openscad language?

Thanks again Bart,
This works well but I suppose I may as well enter the values in the script in the normal way because once the script is constructed, to change all values will take the same time.
I wonder if openscad will ever have the full rages of programming functions. I would have thought that including a=a+1 would be straight forward and very useful. Perhaps it's more complicated to inc

Thank you, nothing is easy is it.
All I want to do is increase "Z" by the height of the previous item, so then I could have a routine that just took the heights as parameters. I wanted to parameterise this so that I could use it for different item heights and diameters in the future
Of course the added problem is the different diameters of the cylinders.

I am changing some parts on my ormerod and am using openscad. I have posted on that forum but have had no replies as yet, so thought I would try the experts on this forum
Is it possible to use an accumulating variable?
I have the following lines as an example.
translate([0,0,0]) cylinder(d=holdupdia, h=holdupht);
acc=acc+holdht;
translate([0,0,acc]) cylinder(d=holdshaftdia, h=holdshaftupperht

I have been testing a cheap E3D hot end from china. I thought it was V6 but it could be V5, what is the difference?
I have a major problem with it trying to feed filament, under the pneumatic fitment there is a gap before the hole that the filament goes through. The filament catches and will not feed.
I tried pushing the bowden tubing all the way in to the stop and that didn't work.

Quite some time a go, I shorted the fan connection on your single hot end board and connected a wire to by pass the electronic switch. The result was that I have been able to use the board but the fan stays on all the time.
If you mean that you burned out the fan mosfet, then if you replace it and remove the diode (which I no longer fit in more recent versions), it shoul

What is a thermostatic fan?
It means that if you have an unused controlled fan output on your Duet, you can use it to turn the hot end fan off when the hot end is cool enough not to need the fan running - just like my hot end board does.

My advancing years have been full with all aspects of my ormerod 1.
I have managed to achieve a reasonable standard of skill with openscad which has kept my mind active.

Is there a problem with the pneumatic fittings holding under normal extruder pressures?

yes please,
I have just printed Richards version and am unable to clear the hole for the fitting and the support between the lugs where the motor part swings.
a openscad file or stl without support would be ideal.

I assume you're using the standard sprung extruder.
The brass unions supplied are a strange1/8" thread which is 9.3mm. the fitting can be fitted with brute force and ignorance, use a drill or filament to keep the union square with the arm.
I've attached a file for the arm and for the fixed part which has had the very weak and breakable parts designed out.
Both parts have to be trim

Sorry for the confusion.
I have the correct E3D for 1.75mm filament.
The problem is that the end of the PTFE tube that attaches to the extruder has a pneumatic fitting with a screw thread of 9.5mm diameter. How is this attached to the extruder, which would need a hole to take a tap for this size of thread?
I assume that a smaller push fitting is available, if so what should I be looking for a

I have a cheap E3D hot end from eBay and want to fit the supplied fitting to the adjustable extruder.
The push fitting seems rather large.
Do I need a smaller fitting or has anybody modified the extruder to take this fitting.
The other alternative is to remove the push fitting and use the reprap brass end on to the tubing.

I have had some black PLA delivered from ebay seller Doogeegrow and is labeled ''Excelvan''. Ordered 14th, delivered 18th. I have done a few test prints and the quality seems to be very good.
I also bought a reel of blue, which I'll test over the weekend.
Anybody else tried this make?

Thank you for all the replies, it seems as if esun is becoming harder to find.
So what are the alternatives, at a reasonable price in the UK.
Prima PLA and 3Dfilaments, have been mentioned but I am interested in other users experience with different manufactures of PLA.

I need to buy some more filament the last time I purchased esun filament from galactic warehouse on ebay. Just looked to buy some more, to match the colours I have used but the message on ebay says ''This Shop currently has 0 listings''. It looks as if they have gone out of business.
Where else can I buy esun filament or is there another make that is just as good?
