Re: Electron 3D - Sixth Generation Prusa i3 Anyone? - 9 years ago

wampablo ... tears of pride ... you should ! Again outstanding spool arms! Wow .... outstanding method of mitigation on the z-banding. Never, never would've given it a thought ... my printing still kind of hugs the plate ... not much height. I can see the benefit of securing the lead screw in your manner. Sweet idea. I am going to play with my Little Bubba for a while as is ... trying different

Well wampablo ... I printed out your Spool Rod Stands and printed a roll bar to set on top of them. You did an impressive job on the stands. I installed a switch and plug mount box on my power supply. I took an existing design, modified the switch/plug inset hole and cut away what I couldn't use. I am pleased with the outcome. I am now calling my KIT complete ...

Wampablo .... this weekend I will be printing the reel supports at the farm shop and I will provide pictures. Did you get your upgrade parts in for the printer that you mentioned and did that involve new roller bearing for the X axis? Are you going to be mounting a second extruder?

oneill86 ... The firmware file that I sent you has the autoleveling script commented out. If you want to activate it ... take the "//" off of in front of define statement. I have printed straight off of the aluminum plate using hairspray or painter's tape. If you use glass you will need to use hairspray. MArvo

oneill86 ... go to the website that wampablo mentions in an earlier message. Download the drivers. Install the latest Arduino. Grab the latest Marlin code. If you have the autoleveler option, defeat it in the code. Move the sensor to a safe place like a trashcan. I am attaching the coding that got me going. You can use it if you want. It will be the basic coding needed to get rolling. I know

wampablo .... I do like the spool holder you made. Is it a stl from one of the depositories online? I have been thinking of printing up a power switch holder to mount on or around the power supply. I see you have placed one in line. When you print a raft ... do you have a prefered feed rate? I've seen some coding down around 480. M

I concur on the fact that this printer will be a "Labor of Love". I like the idea of the spool being overhead ... agree that there would be less strain. I was thinking once I can make it reliable I wanted to look into dual extruders ... I will look into the bearings you mentioned ... they will likely be the answer to the added weight. Being a newbie, I am lacking any and all knowledge of filame

With your help I am talking with the printer and I have secured the original configuration.h file from electronand have flashed it so I have a starting point. Tried to print a calibration cube and experienced filament feed slip. I plan to analysis this tomorrow ... Checking feed path and guide bearing size. Fear I have an oversized feed bearing ... Making it so, that the feed gear cannot get a go

thanks for the help wampablo. Those drivers got e in the front door. Now the studying of code begins ... yes!

I too purchased the same printer and I had similar hardware issues as others. I bought my replacement hardware at local retailers. I'm proud to say all is constructed and operates fine with the LCD control. Here is where my story goes south. The MKS Base 1.2 v board was never flashed the correct configuration for the printer. It seeks max position on x and y axis making bumping noises when maxed
