It's a mark II - http://regpye.com.au/shop/viewitem.php?productid=60 I couldn't find any files for attaching the hotend on his site - I'll flick him an email shortly, but I figured here would be a good place to start as I know a few people from here have purchased and used his hotends.by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Hi all, A while ago I bought a Genie head from mr Reg Pye and then I moved house from one side of the world to another. Long story short - 6 or so months later our household belongings have finally fully arrived which means that I'm not in the process of rebuilding my smartrap. However! I'm not sure how to attach the Genie hotend to my X axis, maintaining the auto bed leveling. I currently hby mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Wow that is nice. Is that using genie extruder? I think I want to make one! I love the GT2 Z. I'm using threaded Z and I can't get very good resolution with it, does the GT2 improve that a lot? Any chance of a BOM/STL's at some point? Big ups.by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
zbutj: I'm a newbie too, but this is how I do it - Home Z, to get it to the bed. Then G29 to autolevel. When it rests, use manual control to move Z up a bit. Do this until you can slip a thin (2D printing type) piece of paper under it. Lower Z until the paper has a bit of contact between hotend and bed, but paper can still move around. Note what the Z says - it might be something like "1.2by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Hey all, as a number of other people have their own thread, I thought it might not be too much of a problem if I have one too. I have a smartrap and have managed a few decent little prints. Currently I'm playing around with the OpenForge tiles, they're pretty cool I have an issue at the moment, which perhaps people can help with. I think I'm having an issue with my bed levelling due to an elby mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Quotesmartfriendz Thank you Mandrav, it is clear expnanation. But your problem could be that is you do only a G29 , the Z is only going down for 15mm max ( it's a software security). That's why we usually make a home Z before. To try, you need to be around 10 mm above the bed. Ooh, I didn't know about the 15mm max, that explains a lot. In the past, I've had to manually lower the Z to touch (by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Humm, actually, I didn't notice I was looking at the 3mm, looks like he's run out of cheap 1.75mmby mrmillsy - Reprappers
Quotedave3d I ordered 3 spools of 1.75mm ABS in white/orange and green. Took 4 days delivery, not 2 days, but over weekend. Well packaged in silver foil bag. I printed a couple of test cubes at 230 deg C, 0.35 nozzle and 0.2 layer height. It extrudes very well (the test cube was done with my old slicer settings on an SD card and was not optimised. As an experiment, I had set the layer change onby mrmillsy - Reprappers
Quotedave3d I have just bought 3 reels of 1.75mm ABS, white/green/orange for 23.97 GBP in total. 2 day delivery promised. Keep watching this space. Have you had any luck with it? I'd be interested in 1.75mmPLA at that price!by mrmillsy - Reprappers
Very very pretty Dan. I'm inspired to try the Z upgrade, at some point.by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Quick question, with the hot-end raised (and cold, heh), if you run your finger across the nozzle does it move back and forth much? I had the same issue as you with being a total newbie to all this and making a mess of my huxley support bar ... fortunately, the hair dryer trick worked very well and everything is ok now, but one of the things I had to ensure was that the bars holding the screws iby mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Ahh I see, thank you, that makes sense. I take it it should be attached loosely then?by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
Off-topic (sorry) but what purpose does the "washer" on top of the bearing serve for the build?by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
I had a similar problem with glass plate sliding around and the clamps not clamping well enough. My solution was to use a longer bolt and tighten them with a nut, but even that was insufficient for one of the clamping sides. In the end, I simply folded some paper under that clamp and tightened until there was sufficient pressure. The glass plate is now totally immobilised )by mrmillsy - Smart_Rap
