Awesome, thanks! I appreciate it all your help.by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
Could you post the link to the your x axis parts? I'd love to try them out. The endstop setup looks much better than what I have.by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
It won't let me upload a picture, but I have the stock endstop arrangement and I used the spacers meant to go under the arduino under my bed. I don't have any springs, I found them too finicky.by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
Okay thanks. Out of curiosity, how is your z endstop setup? If I put the fiberglass underneath I'll need to raise my bed and my endstop is already almost as high as it can go and I only have my bed on 3mm or so spacers. Will the fiberglass pack down that tight?by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
Is there any sort of fire hazard with either technique? I'll give the cork a shot. Won't the insulation be really itchy?by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
I would just get a ramps and arduino board for cheap and use that.by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
What board is on your printer? A RAMPS 1.4? I use that on my i3 and it seems to be working pretty well so far, but with that being said, I would check it to look for any burn marks to make sure that is not the problem. I would suggest either of these stepper motor controllers as replacements: Now with the purple (DRV8825) you will need active cooling on them otherwise things just go bad.

I have been trying to print HIPS, but it won't stick to my heated bed because it cannot maintain temperatures above 85-95 degrees. It'll eventually get up to the desired temperature, but the prints almost always end up popping off the bed about 15 minutes into printing because the temperature ends up falling below 100C. What can I do to get my heated bed to stay at the desired temperature?by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
So, I tried replacing the stepper motor driver, and that seemed to fix the problem! I guess I happened to get a broken one in the new pack I bought. Surprise surprise.by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
I don't have any way to check the voltage, but I did switch out the RAMPS shield with a spare I had lying around and that didn't fix it, so I probably did mess up the mega. Shame, I hope I have time to replace it.by soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
I build a prusa i3 rework for a senior project (which is due in a couple weeks) and for some reason the stepper motors have completely stopped working. I do not know why, but here is what I have done to check: I put two other motors into the plug on the RAMPS board and they didn't turn. I know for a fact that both those motors worked because I tested them just a few minutes ago. I also tried usinby soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
I tried to take the temperature sensor off, but it broke when doing so, so I think it was the sensor. For some reason it was stuck in the hole for it. I'm hoping that's all the problem is and when the new sensors arrive tomorrow I'll be up and running again.by soccerox817 - Reprappers
I keep getting this error: Error:0 Error:0 along with min temp reached. I know that normally this means that the temperature sensor is broken, but I am fairly certain it is not broken because it was working just fine the other day. Could this be a problem with Pronterface?by soccerox817 - Reprappers
I'll give it quite shot. What is good s value?by soccerox817 - Reprappers
what do you mean by that? I just used the default settings except I changed the layer height to .15, infill to 50%, and i added brimby soccerox817 - Reprappers
I built a prusa i3 rework and I connected my print fan to D9 and I am able to control it in Pronterface and it generally works most of the time, but sometimes during a long print it just shuts off. Anyone know what is causing this?by soccerox817 - Reprappers
I have a Prusa i3 Rework that I am building for a school project. I have been able to get it to print; however, my layer adhesion is suffering. There are gaps between the layers. How do I get the layers to bond better? Here are my printing settings: Black PLA at 220 C for the hotend and 65 C for the bed. I'm printing directly on glass. I'm not quite sure what speed I'm printing at. I didn't changby soccerox817 - Prusa i3 and variants
