Good evening everyone. I've got a FLSUN mini kossel that I had working pretty well. Last summer I took it to a buddies place and then back home. Unfortunately the poor thing was left in the car overnight. It being summer the inside of the car was hotter than some of the pieces liked. Needless to say not all of the parts are true anymore. I've got another printer (printrbot simple metal) so Iby conscripted - Delta Machines
Good evening. I hope you already got your printer working. IF you haven't I just went through a similar issue. My printer would crash into the bed and then print in the air. I have it working now. I followed the steps at the site below and then ran the auto calibration. Good luck and let me know. Billby conscripted - Firmware - Marlin
Thanks for the work you have done on this. I'm currently saving for the cyclops hotend. I can't wait to start experimenting with multi colored prints. Your post processing script looks really interesting. I saw on your blog that the script was taken down. Do you have plans to replace it? Conscriptedby conscripted - Developers
There are some many different options that you are going to get many different answers to your question. Are you looking for a kit or to source all the parts for your printer? What is your budget? Kits will be easier to build but may cost a little more. Conscriptedby conscripted - Reprappers
Anyone care to share a few pics of their filament drive? I'm definitely leaning that direction.by conscripted - General
> All I can add is : try it, you might like it I'm definitely interested in using fishing line in replacement for a belt. I've seen how to do a pulley for the filament. How would I drive it? As this is my first printer I can't exactly print one myself. Maybe an empty thread spool attached to the stepper? Conscripted.by conscripted - General
Yes I know you need one. What I mean is does it matter what type? T5, T2.5, Spectra line. Other then size of the belt does it matter which you put on your printer? I'm self sourcing and have not yet acquired belts. Thanks Conscripted.by conscripted - General

I'll make another attempt to assemble it all this weekend. My first goal is just to get the extruder built. I still haven't gotten all of the pieces I need but I want to have something completed. It's all been a box of parts for to long. How tight are the bearing supposed to be in the extruder? Thanks for the information.by conscripted - Reprappers
So what do you do when the parts your purchased to build your first printer don't quite fit? I'm self sourcing a Mendel90. I got my printed parts. I'm attempting to put them together however none of the printed parts seem to work the way I expected. I can't get the bolts in the bolt holes. I can't get the nuts in the nut holes. I can't get the 608 bearing in the extruder. Not sure what to do. Aby conscripted - Reprappers
for my current build cheap is good. Inexpensive is better. I don't mind paying what it costs for things to work. I have found that cheap isn't always worth it. Specifically for fasteners.....I believe cheap works. Conscriptedby conscripted - General

Hello all. I've been trying to get the firmware from the github to compile. I've had zero luck. I've tried multiple versions of the IDE. None have worked. I've included the nonstandard files. It just hasn't helped. Would someone be willing to post their arduino code that worked and the version of the IDE it was compiled in. I have all the major parts to build one but I wan to get the firmwareby conscripted - General
Very impressed and a little envious. Well Doneby conscripted - Look what I made!
looks great. Will the be available in kit form?by conscripted - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
Yes. Thank you. I've got the BOM already. I was hoping someone stateside had already turned " 6 M3 cap screw x 10mm" or "PTFE sleeving OD 1.2mm ID 0.71mm x 62mm" into a part number that I can order. I've looked at the McMaster Carr website to order metric hardware but find it a little intimidating. I would rather not guess the wrong part and have to wait for the part to arrive only to discover itby conscripted - Mendel90
I'm working on an MDF Mendel90. I've got the printed parts but I'm having a hard time finding part numbers for all the hardware I need. It would be a lot easier if I could go to the hardware store and pick up everything. Does anyone have a working BOM for those of us stateside? I know I can order from McMaster however I'm finding it difficult to find what I need. Has anyone else already fought tby conscripted - Mendel90

I'm in the process of building a Mendel90 from MDF. I'm at the point where I need to cut out my frame. Is there a recommened way to attach the paper to the frame in a way that I can cut shapes I need and still be able to get it off again after drilling the holes?
