Re: What is the maximum bowden tube length admissible? - 12 years ago

vegetable oil/peanut oil or similar helps a lot on a bowden tube......Don't go too crazy with the oil, or your prints will smell like french frys...

Re: “Prometheus Hot End”: New Customizable All-Metal Hot End! [Many Pictures] - 12 years ago

Looks like a great design. I just bought a pair of E3d hot ends, for the reason of a wide selection of orifices, and easy Bowden set-up, what would put the setup over-the-top would be a single sink that held both hotend's.

Re: Multi-Color Extruder - 12 years ago

I bought 2 e3d bowden hot ends, no set up problems, they were both the exact same height, they work great. I wired them together at the bottom and top with #14 solid copper wire through the fins... I am surprised that I did not have any height issues........

Re: My first RepRap build and experiences - 12 years ago

Nice looking printer. JB Weld is a good epoxy that can handle a lot of heat. If you set up for Nylon printing, you wont need a heated bed, Nylon is a little bit cheaper than PLA and ABS, plus it can be dyed with cheap off the shelf dyes.........Nylon is is the toughest printable plastic out there for now...

RC Servo support - 12 years ago

// Number of servos // // If you select a configuration below, this will receive a default value and does not need to be set manually // set it manually if you have more servos than extruders and wish to manually control some // leaving it undefined or defining as 0 will disable the servo subsystem // If unsure, leave commented / disabled // #define NUM_SERVOS 1 // Servo index starts with 0 for M

I was looking at the Analog pins and extension header, , and the Ardunio Mega pins 89-94 don't seem to be going to the correct analog pin header as per schematic all but pin 90 seem to be incorrect. 89 PK0 ( ADC8/PCINT16 ) Analog pin 8 Analog-Ext 1 90 PF7 ( ADC7/PCINT15 ) Analog pin 7 Thermistor 3, Analog-Ext 2 91 PF6 ( ADC6/PCINT14 ) Analog pin 6 Analog-Ext 3 92 PF5 ( ADC5/TMS )

Slicer perimiters - 12 years ago

Is there a way to turn off the perimiter that Slice3r makes for a multi-material file? The perimiter does nothing but get in the way, it is too thin and gets broken.........

Re: Slic3r settings with mach3 (dual extruder) - 12 years ago

I am also fighting with my dual extruder upgrade, I am starting to wonder if it was really an upgrade afterall. Slice3r and Repetier host seem to do whatever they want........ I am trying to print a circle with extruder 2 only, but extuder keeps wantin to print a perimiter. Extruder temperature 2 also wants to run cooler than 1......... Good thing I am still somewhat young..
