I am using a Microsoft Life Cam and had to make an attachment to fit the camera holder of the original design.
If anybody would like this mount, here is the stl file.

The anti-vibration unit that you had under the Z motor was in he wrong place. It should have been under the foot at the bottom of the Z extrusion.
Hope that helps

Thank you for the upgrade.
I've just noticed that in your example config file you have the operating and standby temperatures set to -273.
Why -273 and not 0 ?
If I have missed the explanation in the past I apologize.

Look what I made!
Just to let you know
I have just printed an item with the second nozzle in a fault condition ( which I didn't notice at time of print because I was only interested in Heater 1 (T0) for a 1 colour object).
So the error "Warning: Tools can only be driven if their heater temperatures are high!" did not show in the console
Hope that helps

Paul, try shortening the comments. I think what matters is the file size, not the number of lines.
Yes that did it, I can now see the entire config file regardless of screen size, looks good on a smartphone.
Thanks for your help

Hmm, looks like your config file is too long. I'm planning to getting rid of the format buffer (which is currently limited to 2KB of data), but these changes will require quite some work, which is why I haven't started yet. Scrollbars won't help you there. If you want it to display correctly, I suggest you remove some of your commented lines - then it should be displayed prope

1.08d firmware and 1.06 web control are working well, thank you zpl
I like the automatic connect.
The configuration file will not fit in the supplied window on the settings page. Could the page be made to scroll so that all of the config file is displayed?
Will you be introducing drag and drop for g-code and macro files to help organize into folders?
great job

Don't spend any time on this.
I think it is finger trouble on my part, When changing the heater numbering from T1/T2 to T0/T1, I missed and entry in the simplify script section so the g-code file was controlling T1 instead of T0.
At least that is what I think is happening but I don't want to stop the print to find out.
Will the log grow too big and cause problems?
I still have just under 2 hrs

I'm trying to work out a specification of the required behaviour.
1. Is this only a problem with ABS, or does PLA also cause problems if left molten for too long?
2. What should be the trigger for reducing temperature? E.g. extruder temp greater then X for the last Y seconds, and no extruder motion during that period.
3. What temperature should the extruder be reduced to when this fe

Dave,
Thank you for your reply.
I can see that in the circumstances when you have experienced a blockage, the printer would just carry on thinking it was printing correctly, even though no filament was actually extruded.
This request would have helped in my blockage circumstance, although perhaps I should have reduced the temperature manually but I just did not consider a long wait when ready to

I had a problem with a blocked nozzle the other day. I think it was caused by the hotend being up to temperature but not printing , for an extended time. I realised, after getting the printer ready to print, that I needed to modify the item, this took some time to change it in openscad, generate the stl and then slice. All this time the plastic in the hotend was cooking.
I wonder if it is feas

Thank you rhmorrison and QuackingPlums for your patience and understanding.
As a result of posts this week I now have a collection of modules that I can use for all kinds of rounded profiles.
However, it has been mentioned that for lower rounding I would be better off using a teardrop profile. I assume that a teardrop is constructed from a cube and a cylinder but how do I decide on the measure

I have been experimenting with various shapes and modules and have come across a problem that I just don't have the maths for.
This is an extension of the rounded end to a tube.
If I had a 5 mm thick tapered tube of say top diameter of 20 and bottom diameter of 15, how do I work out the placement of the top and bottom rings so that the outside and inside of the tube line up with the outside and

Thank you for the examples.
I did eventually find a way to do it yesterday but it was very slow to render, your solution renders very quickly and produces a good result.

I have a tube with a wall thickness of say 4 mm and instead of straight edges top and bottom, I would like to round them, similar to the rounded cube and triangle but of course the inside and outside of the tube needs to be rounded.
I have tried searching for information on how to do this but I just can't find anything that is relevant and everything I try fails.
It also struck me that I may we

I have based my latest attempt on your code and produced a parametrised version to construct a rounded oblong of any size.

Thank you very much for your replies.
I didn't explain very well what the requirement was, I hope the pictures will help to explain.
This is an example of the reverse rounded cube that I would subtract from a larger item.
This is the result
So ideally I would like a module that I can pass length, width, height, and radius of edges, that I can use to cut from an object to produce rounded edg

I recently posted about constructing a triangle with rounded sides and ends.
This is my new problem:-
If I cut a cube out of a solid block, How can I make the sides rounded, like the rounded cube or triangle but the roundness in the reverse direction.?
As always, any help gratefully received.

I have found the setting up of the bed to ensure levelness has been a real pain, so inspired by fotomas's modification for the Y Idler Bracket on the ormerod 2 and johneato's Y belt tensioning device for the ormerod 1, I have modified the Y idler bracket so that the acrylic Y axis end plate can be raised or lowered by an adjustment wheel. I have also removed the countersink holes that join the Y
