Re: hot end ? - 11 years ago
you could test the cartridge by testing the circuit, perhaps it has burnt out inside the heater. by testing the resistance, should tell you if the cartridge is bustedby pushthatbolder - Reprappers
Re: hot end ? - 11 years ago
Has the hotend ever worked proper? have you specified the right thermistor in the table of thermistors in your firmware? if this is correct and still doesnt work, try measure if any current (amps) and calculate into (watts) the cartridge is 120watts? see who much power is travelling through the wire to the heat cartridge. if the hotend port is not giving you any readings, you might have burnt ouby pushthatbolder - Reprappers
Re: Suggestions for Improving the RepRap Wiki - 11 years ago
My Opinion..The Development index needs to be changed around abit. When i click the 'Development Index' it takes me to (http://reprap.org/wiki/Development) I would of hoped to see a list of current/previous/proposed future development in the field of reprap. I would hope to see the following in this order 'Current Note-worthy Developments' (admin chosen projects that are leading edge/currentby pushthatbolder - General

Re: Printing noise and Vibration - 11 years ago
Yes. It is the the motors making the noise. But with dampeners and fine tuning of stepper drivers you could eliminate most if not all this noise... With fine tuning my x- axis and y-axis are silent. But my double z-axis motor male a light buzz. And my extruder makes the same. And yes. The camera is picking up and amplifying the noise.by pushthatbolder - General

Re: Is there a secret to getting nuts into the nut traps? - 11 years ago
Did you print the part? Or you bought a kit? Did you allow for shinkage for your printed part? I print at 1.05% the size to allow for shinking. If you designed the part. You may be able to scale the insert hole only.by pushthatbolder - General

The nut manufactererers tolerance can vary and still be called a standard nut. Countries of production and even factories will have slight different sizes on the outside dimensionsby pushthatbolder - General

Fire? Heat the nut with fire? That is my answer if i am understanding your question right.by pushthatbolder - General
Re: Selling permission - 11 years ago
Another thing about the farmer. He is one of the only business's i know of, that buys retail and sells retail.... And it should probably stay that way.by pushthatbolder - General
Re: Selling permission - 11 years ago
You still need to do your homework. You can easily source your parts cheaper and only buy 1 set. You are putting the cart in front of the horse. If you plan to sell for profit, it may be classed as a business. I dont know about your country, but there are always extra cost involved. Shipping, duty, taxes, shipping to your end buyer, company expenses.etc etc... You would need capital..... Howby pushthatbolder - General

Re: Filament Reviews - 11 years ago
What do you think about your own filament? Have any test prints? Any previous 'organic' reviews? How is $40 per roll justified? What are your shipping cost for a retail roll.of filament? Measuring low and high, what are your manufacturing tolerances? Edit* I see free shipping for USA and Canadaby pushthatbolder - General
Re: strange IE9 - 11 years ago
That is why i completely run from SD card. you may get interference with other programs from your computer It might have something to do with RAM and the printer is printing from the ram and when other programs are trying to be used , the Ram is Prioritising programs. or something like thatby pushthatbolder - General
Re: Lots of problems with my Prusia i3..
- 11 years ago
Have you tuned the trimpots on the stepper drivers? You will need to tune the power input, and even more important for the 2 steppers running from 1x stepper cintroller. Tune with an antistatic tool. CLOCKWISE until motor buzzes, then bring back until the motor has good torque and runs smooth. Do you have the bridge connectors in place for the 1/16 stepping that your firmware believes you have?by pushthatbolder - Printing
Re: What software am I going to need? - 11 years ago
While you are starting it would be worth trying some of the other printer host programs. I really enjoy Repetier Host and it slices really well with Slic3r and even has the cura slicer built in.by pushthatbolder - General
Re: Best Software for Prusa i3? - 11 years ago
I have tried Cura, Pronterface, and Repetier host. Repetier host is the most user friendly out of all of them. I liked the fact it could use the Cura, Steignforge, and Slic3r slicing options. I like the fact you could control the fan, and it has informational heat graphs and the movement controls are well designed. I like that you can view in easy mode or can view the code prompts in real time.by pushthatbolder - Reprappers
Re: Steppers only move at 0.1mm increments - 11 years ago
Yes, Try with a lower Acceleration rate (2000) And also have you tuned your stepper drivers? Turn pots with antistatic tool clockwise until motors make a buzzing noise, then bring back until buzzing is gone and motor is running smooth with good enough torque so your hand cannot stop it. A lower acceleration may fix the immediate issue, but un tuned drivers are always going to be a problem. As yby pushthatbolder - General

Re: Changing Graphics on Extra Large Controller 12864 LCD using u8glib - 11 years ago
Yes. 64x64 was pretty much the max. My picture was 52x64 and fit quiet nice. Where are all the code goes for the picture, you''ll see the size specifications at the top.by pushthatbolder - Developers

Re: Steppers only move at 0.1mm increments - 11 years ago
What axis are you trying to move? Z-axis motors with the M5 threaded rod will have a step per mm of 4000 Y-axis with the 20tooth pulley and GT2 belt would be 80 steps per mm X-axis is the same as the Y-axis if you are using GT2 belt with 20 tooth pulley. You can see if this is right for you with the Prusa calculator the 'default' steps per mm are not always correct for your situation. I usedby pushthatbolder - General

Re: Aurora Z 605 mirrored print output problem - 11 years ago
Easy fix. Repetier has mirror function to correct print. Long fix. Define x-axis as homing to MAX+ in your firmware. And change polarity of motor for x-axis. So it homes in same location, but now its the max position. And will now print proper. Also tell your host you are homing at max for x-axis. Best fix. Probably out there, probably better. But i dont know and this has worked for me.by pushthatbolder - Reprappers
Re: lcd issues - 11 years ago
You want download u8glib from original source. And load into program data file for Arduino IDE library. Not it marlin library. Have you defined lcd in configuration.h section in marlin? Also define SD support. If i was at my computer i.could tell you what to define.and what not to define.by pushthatbolder - General
