Worked out what the problem is, I know enough js to read it but not write it unfortunately the error is caused when the /macros directory does not exist on the sd card. Creating this directory fixed it, Prob needs to be a bit more forgiving or give a better error :-) Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod

I recently stared using my Ormerod V1 again and upgraded to the latest firmware. Since the upgrade occasionally the web interface does not report temperature/z sensor etc. The web interface still shows connected and commands from it work fine it's just the auto update bits that stop working. When it gets into this state disconnect/reconnect do not fix it, but going to the Settings/Machine propeby chriscain - Ormerod
Just finished rebuilding my Ormerod 1 with a metal X Rib and the DC42 Z probe board. All went well and the Ormerod now performs much better, fast accurate probes and consistent bed level makes prints more of a press the button and it happens than a bit of a black art. Defiantly worth the price and time to install. The fan switching and nice bright LEDS are just icing :-) Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
Oops, picked the wrong live from the order !! 492-4332 Fan,40x40x20mm 12V 9000rpm 21.6 m3/h A bit noisier than the orig, probably because the higher RPM but more air flow, and suposedly high quality bearings to last 300,000 hours Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
Mine died too, I replaced it with 474-5549 which is a better fan (faster, better bearing) and it is working great so far. Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
I got 2 1KG reels from Ebay Seller Came in a sealed (looked like vac pack) plastic bag with silaca jel in it. So far have only used the RED but it printed very well, maybe even better than the orig one that came with my printer and it is also a very close colour match to the Red parts of the RS printer.

This firmware with the Pronterface fix is working great for me. Does this binary also include your previous Network Fixes ?, My Network connection with this seems to have gone back to the works sometimes stage with lots of Network connection error code -10. Having said that the improvement in USB speed is great, SD upload over USB is about 12 times faster With the various mechanical electricalby chriscain - Ormerod
You could do both of these by just editing the macros/built in's on the SD card. Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
Like the fan suggestion. I am looking at the sensor/Z homing I think it may be possible to compensate for external light in software but it is going to take a bit of testing to verify if my idea will work. There is also a couple if issues with the G-code interpreter or DDA that need to be fixed; G92 does not work correctly which is not really much of a problem once you realise what is going wby chriscain - Ormerod
It might actually be possible to get some factor of 'ambient light removal' in software only with the current set up. Move head to Z 30 Measure Sensor (this is so high we only measure ambient IR /no reflected light) so this is effectively very similar to a hardware mod switching off the led. Correct Z sensor reading for measured light Home Z it would be possible to perhaps refine this more byby chriscain - Ormerod
Yet another replacement part. Moves the nozzle down 1mm from the orig Has no counter sink on the top (so works better with the socket head screws) fan mount and top surface angled at 4 degrees up to compensate for the 'droop' and give a little better clearance for the fans, Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
>The most important thing is that cooling of the top of the nozzle isn't compromised. Set the nozzle to 200C, and measure the aluminium cooling block (that >the heatsink is attached to) with and without the shroud. If the filament melts too far up the nozzle, the force required to extrude will increase, eventually .>causing the extruder to skip. I tried to do this first but it is very hby chriscain - Ormerod
Made MarkB's original one Defiantly fixes the backwash problem. But does it reduce cooling ??? Not having a wind tunnel to test I came up with a more pragmatic way to check Heat hot end to 200deg C Wait for a bit so temp stabilises Turn off hot end Time how long it takes for hot end to drop to 100 degrees. Fit Cover Repeat. I did it twice because I didn't belive the results !! At least in teby chriscain - Ormerod
Your modified .bin improves my connection, but it is not a fix I usually can connect about 1 in 4 resets - Provided I connect ethernet before USB with your binary the success rate goes up to almost 100% Still have the problem of Network wont work if connect to USB first Network still freezes every so often (USB still working printer still happy, just no network) Interestingly when the networkby chriscain - Ormerod
And The winner is...... White Tape The attached graph shows a square of white tape next to a one of the squares of aluminium tape supplied with the kit both under a single layer of Kapton Tape. The sensor was at 3mm, 1 reading every 1mm in X,Y The nice flat Red area is the white PVC tape Note not only is the output higher for the PVC but it is significantly more consistant as well.

I used an old hacksaw blade. Ground the tooth off, sanded it and stuck it to the side of the X axis with Kapton tape Hardened and ground bearing surface :-) Seems to be working well so far. Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
How are you generating your Gcode ? Slice3r should be ok but it seems that if the gcode has X+Y+Z moves in it the firmware gets it wrong try: G28 G1 X100 Y100 Z100 Get pos says the Head is at X100,Y100,Z100 , but if you look at where it is it definatly is not at 100Z !!by chriscain - Ormerod
>>Maybe the linker is inlining it (does the gnu linker do that?). It can, but I thought you had to ask for it explicitly, then again the eclipse build is so complicated it could be asking for anything at all !! ----- -flto[=n] This option runs the standard link-time optimizer.

If you flipped the stl first and put it back on the bed you should have a perfect fit and an exactly level bed !! Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
I saw this post on a blog about a Mendal 90 The interesting bit for PSU info is that the PSU used in this kit looks the same as the Ormerod one and it says "I also changed the PSU to an ATX500 because I can buy them in the UK with CE approval and they come with integral mains inlet and switch, obviating the need for the kit builder to do their own mains wiring. It is also shorter, allowing rby chriscain - Ormerod
If you are looking for a 3D printer to put together and print things then NO, I would not say Ormerod is suitable, yet. The basic parts and most of the design is OK and I think that with some mods it will be a good printer but at present there are a LOT of issues, Mechanics, electronics and software are ALL brand new, and it shows.. All 3 are at best in Beta stage, and the combination of tryingby chriscain - Ormerod
To have a baseline for the sensor before any mods I wrote a quick script to check the bed level + sensor readings (be kind this is my first ever python program!!) It basically homes the printer, then moves Z to the sensor Ref height at the home position and takes a reading on every 2mm square across the bed outputting a CSV list of X,Y,Reading. Putting the data into Matlab gives the attached pby chriscain - Ormerod
I have uploaded my repositary to github There are no changes at all to the code base, just the build environment to allow it to be built on windows. I included the libs I used in the base so it should build exactly as mine is which seems to work OK. For ref my setup has Arduino-1.5.4 and eclipse and the workspace all loaded on the root of the X:\ x:\arduino-1.5.4 x:\eclipse x:\workspace Chrby chriscain - Ormerod
I am running on a built firmware and so far it seems as stable as the orig. I built it on windows 7 using more or less the instructions in Adrians readme. All worked fine except for having to add 2 include paths as eclipse could not find a couple of .h files. I am using the Arduino 1.5.4. Most of the 'trick' to making it work without a LOT of path changes was to NOT copy the settings file fromby chriscain - Ormerod

You could use the FAN0 output on the Duet it's connected to the PWM o/p pin with a mosfet and not used on the Ormerod as the fan is on all the time. would need a higher resistor as it's on the 12v supply. Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
Putting the led on a seperate supply would need a bit of a hack to the board and a seperate wire run from an o/p pin on the duet to the sensor but should be possible, if I can work out the build environment to recompile the firmware may give it a shot. Chrisby chriscain - Ormerod
I had the 'x sagging problem' , even with the bearing pushed right to the end of the slot the head was a fraction too low and the fan touched before the nozzle. Not having a 10 mm bearing I taped a used hack saw blade to the side of the X beam where the bearing runs. This allows perfect adjustment and means the bearing is running along the (smooth) side of the hacksaw blade rather than the persby chriscain - Ormerod
I tried some small parts in ABS, Using exactly the same settings (Omerod 0.5 in slic3r) as for PLA except temperatures of 240/110. Works fine, part quality not nearly as good as I am getting with PLA but that is probaly more about the fact that it needs some tweaks for ABS than anything else. Will concentrate on getting PLA as good as I can before playing much more with ABS but at least it doesby chriscain - Ormerod
