I am helping a friend with his printer and the z axis homing feedrate is way too high. I know it is able to be changed in the marlin code but he doesn't have a copy of it. I looked on Marlin's website and couldn't find a command to change it through eeprom so is there any other way to slow it down? Thanks Colinby daboomafoo - Firmware - Marlin
Thanks for the replies. Ill get a new PSU (the one I am using is a few years old) and try everything else you guys have said. I had no idea the difference of ground voltages would cause a problem like this.by daboomafoo - General
I had my 3d printer plugged into the wall and went to plug the usb from the arduino into my macbook and when it touched the metal case it sparked and the arduino stopped working. This is the third board I've killed in a couple months but this is the first time I've seen it spark. Ive looked for shorts but cannot find any. If anyone has any idea what could be causing this id love to hear it becausby daboomafoo - General
My Boxd 3D 8i (I think thats the full name) is still going strong. I don't think there was any secret to success after you get/fix all the parts because it is a very simple design. If you have any experience with 3d printer firmware configuring I suggest you just start from scratch with Marlin. If you don't want to do that I'll share the one I use with you but you will have to change a bunch ofby daboomafoo - General
I have the marlin files that I downloaded from diytechshop's website on my Dropbox here. They are slightly modified from the original but is pretty much stock. Just put all of the files in a folder you name "Marlin". I hope this helps and good luck!by daboomafoo - General
I am trying to install auto leveling with a probe (like Printrbot) and after replacing the normal z endstop with it when I try to home the Z axis the z goes down about 10mm (the amount differs every time), then stops. It counts the position it stopped at as home so you cannot bring the bed back up to where it should be. I think it is something in Marlin but I have tried everything.

Are you sure you are number 9? My order number is in the 2800s... I placed the order December 16 2014.by daboomafoo - General
I put some pictures up in an imgur album because the pictures were to big to directly put on here. I'm working on a video that should be done soon. If anyone needs a certain angle just ask.by daboomafoo - General
Sorry for taking so long to respond it's been really busy It's wierd that you guys didn't get instructions because I didn't too. I was able to talk to them and they emailed me them. I'm not sure they would like me to post it in here because they haven't posted It publicly anywhere else but I feel it's the right thing to do. They are in my Dropbox here The x carriage in the main instructions isby daboomafoo - General

I got the machine printing yesterday. It prints well (to my standards). Here is a print of a cube. If anyone has any questions about it feel free to ask.by daboomafoo - General
Yep that was it! Had it set to the wrong kind of belt in marlin. Thanks for the quick help.by daboomafoo - Printing
I just got my first 3d printer working and it prints things that are my smaller than what I put in the g code genorator. I use cura to make the g code and printrun to execute the print. I made a rectangular prism with the x/y being 35mm and after printing it was 23mm. I checked in cura and it said it was 35mm. This happens to all prints, I'm not sure if by the same scale.by daboomafoo - Printing
The assembly was extremely easy I was very suprised. This is my first 3d printer and first build of something like this. The instructions are all cad images but they were good and explained everything well, other than the x carriage. They updated the x carriage and did not update the instructions all they give you is a cad rendering from a top right angle and you pretty much have to figure it outby daboomafoo - General
Sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I know I said I would be returning my boxd 3d 8i, but I called them the day after I recieved it and they imidiately priority mailed a hot end out to me. I have now built the entire printer, and it is ready to print other than I did not receive the pulleys that go on the x and y motors so thoes axis don't work yet. I just got confirmation that they sent meby daboomafoo - General
QuoteNeybordave Does anyone here have anything close to a BOM for this printer? I ordered duel-heads and power supplies so I know to look for those but I'm honestly not going to easily know what's missing. Mine came with a bunch of papers with every item that should be in there on it.by daboomafoo - General
Just received my 8i... Not looking good. It didn't come with any instructions and did not say where to find them. My order came with everything it was surposed to... Except the hot end. On the paper with all of the parts on it the hot end section was just skipped. The plastic pieces do not look great but none of them are broken. The wood pieces need to be sanded because the edges are very rough.by daboomafoo - General
If your printer does arrive with missing parts and you have other printers the stl files for what looks like all the parts are on their github page here. It would have been nice if they put that on their website. I found it through the "boxd" reprap wiki page.by daboomafoo - General
I ordered a Boxd 3D 8i from DIYTechshop on December 12. It finally shipped more than a month later, on January 22. UPS has it now and it should be delivered Monday. I called them and asked them why it was taking so long and they said they updated the X carriage so they delayed the shipment to include the updated one. I will update this once I receive it and say my thoughts.by daboomafoo - General
