Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 9 years ago

QuoteTardisrepair Hello everyone Thanks for the thread, tons of great information here. My kit should be arriving in about a week, this will be my first 3d printing venture. Can anyone confirm what was stated earlier in the thread.... that the Folger configuration file works correctly. Thanks I ended up using walter's config (page 29 on this thread, follow the github, goto config) with the

I use his config and that's how mine operates. The orientation doesn't really make a difference so long as your home works - Yes my prints do come out facing the other way, but I could care-a-less. If you're still having issues with pronterface, might go into the options and on the printer tab ensure that your x,y,z home are set correctly. Hopefully you'll have it operational shortly =]

Hmm - ensure you have downloaded the most recent version of Marlin (I see you say you have done that) and do not use the files from folgertech. You also might try using Pronterface in place of Repetier.

You're getting compilation errors because you haven't installed the LCD library, do that and it will compile fine. I had the same issue. ( github files for LCD )

QuoteJSR82 I am having a problem with my printer. I have everything working correctly, but only because in Repetier I have it set to invert the x axis. I would like to figure out why this is. I have flipped the wiring for the X stepper and changed settings in my config file to try to get it to function properly, but nothing I have done has resolved the issue. I have the X endstop on the right, th

Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 9 years ago

Purchased a E3DV6 when I ordered this printer - now that I'm pretty well calibrated and running smooth, was hoping someone here has suggestions on mounts & extruder options (wades/bowden) to use with the E3DV6. Also, with regards to mount material, assuming it needs to be ABS given the proximity to the hotend? Thanks in advance.

Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 9 years ago

Greetings, Looking for help with gap between layers (Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm PLA) that are large enough to press a finger nail through. I'm using Walter's config from github, changed the DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT from ~4100 through 3700 (~100 increments) without improvement. Bed temps between 50-60, hotend between 180-200. Slic3r layer height: .2 first layer: .3 Speed Perimeter: 30mm small perimet

Quoteboy09 Mine did the same thing. I probably should have been more concerned about it, but I just let it continue heating up, and after 10-15 seconds in quit smoking. I'm guessing it's some something on the nozzle that burns off. You are absolutely correct, I set it to 230 and it went up fine, zero smoke. Phew. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 9 years ago

Greetings everyone, I've been lurking here for quite awhile until my printer arrived, which it did yesterday. It's now built (quite a bit of cleanup on wires to do yet) however, I just used pronterface to manually head both the bed and hotend to validate they're working. Set the hotend to 185 (pronterface's recommendation for PLA) and after about 15-20 seconts @ what appeared to be 141 degrees t

Re: Folger Prusa i3 Kit from ebay - 9 years ago

QuoteAlgag Hello all, really sorry if this has already been asked, but this thread is huge and I'm new here. My folger prusa just arrived, and whenever I started building the frame, two of the holes seemed to be too small, and I also seemed to be missing two nuts/screws. Are we supposed to use the M3 nuts when you attach the "top supports" (the funny shaped things that connect the main frame and
