Hello, I've bought the updated RepRap IR sensor board. When I printed off the new X-carriage from the link above it became apparent that there are two problems... 1) The bearing mount is at 90o to the original. I've machined it to mount it orientated correctly - leading to... 2) The bearing is too far away from the X rib. Doh! I have an Ormerod 1, is this new part for the Ormerod 2?

You don't need to spend a fortune on a multimeter, even one that costs less than a tenner will see you through many years of service. Your motors should be fine. The Z-axis can't be forced down too far as the X-axis will just lift out of the Z-axis nut on the threaded bar. I'm assuming that your heated bed is covered with at least an aluminium heat spreader.If so, then it'll be fine. If you jusby Mr_Bodge_It - Ormerod
Do you have a multimeter / ohmmeter? If so, check the resistances of the extruder heater (It'll be low, but shouldn't be zero) and the thermistor - thousands of Ohms (if you like, you can heat it with a hairdryer to see it's resistance change, just don't melt your PLA components). Test these at the duet end of the wires as this will show any faults that lie in the wiring as well as the componentsby Mr_Bodge_It - Ormerod
I didn't know it was obsolete - there was an instruction somewhere that I followed that directed me away from master, to duet branch - I'll see if I can locate it. Good to know though. I'm not having any trouble with my thermistor. I used heat-sink compound on it when I assembled it. The hope was that it would read a more accurate temperature and more quickly with good thermal contact. (I put itby Mr_Bodge_It - Ormerod
Sorry, I took the name of the file, thinking it was the version number (oops). M115 gave me this: RepRapFirmware FIRMWARE_VERSION:0.78b The only reference to 0.78c I can find is in the "Master" branch, not the "Duet" branch. Should I be using that one? Here's the link: I haven't uploaded this firmware yet - I thought I'd better check first. The next oops was indeed the value sent with my M92by Mr_Bodge_It - Ormerod
Hi all, I've just completed my Ormerod 1 build. I've got it homing all 3 axis and done the bedset. When printing the "ormaxis.g" file, the extruded PLA gets squashed as it comes out. When the next layer is extruded it gets squashed even more. after around 4 layers either the nozzle, fan housing or IR sensor board contacts the print. I can't understand why this would be, especially when I'm usinby Mr_Bodge_It - Ormerod
Easy X-axis belt installation procedure: 1) Remove X-axis motor (instructions could be changed to remove the fitting of this motor in an earlier step). 2) Fold the belt in half (-ish). Push it through the hole where the motor was. 3) Put the toothed pulley into the loop of the belt. 4) Pull the pulley into place, using the belt. Rotate the pulley so that the grub screw is facing away frby Mr_Bodge_It - Ormerod
