You are a funny guy OO. I hope he knows someone like us that can print them for. On that note, I have my mounts printed out already and would be willing to mail them to Willey. PM me Willey. Brian.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Free upgrades for one year. Cool if it's worth it. Anyone have an opinion? I don't use social media so I don't care about that aspect. I just need a stable platform for Rhino. Any beta testers out there?by elwood127 - General
All I can say is I'm running at 230 and 60 for pla, 240 and 100 for abs. Until I installed a fan above the extruder blowing on the filament were it enters i was melting the filament above the hot zone causing endless failures. Since installing the fan I'm getting awesome prints on my $400.00 Prusa i3 knockoff. Also, if you heat the hotend to 80c (for pla) and pull out the ftlament, it will take eby elwood127 - Reprappers
Hey guys, using slicr3 and repetier my hotend temp readout varies from about 250c to 220c during print at a setting of 230c. Average is about 225c. Is this normal. I read about trying different heat settings adjusting in one degree increments. There is no way. Cheap Chinese thermistor? Are you seeing this on your machines? For what it's worth, printing ABS is working perfectly. I mounted an extrby elwood127 - Reprappers
Hey Willy, I have kit STL's from the seller. I reprinted my motor mounts and they came out pretty darn straight. You are welcome to the files. Let me know. Brian.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Hey all, I added a forth Y Axis linear bearing (only came with 3) using a printed bearing holder that I got from "stlfinder.com. The original was in the middle of the plate so I relocated it and added the forth. It turns out that the forth bearing would have hit the Y Axis motor thus only three. Note that I had to cut the flange off to clear the motor. I used an end mill to clear a spot for the bby elwood127 - Reprappers

Very original man. I like it. I think Donaldj is right. Build plate will be flexing and putting harsh wear on the lead screw nuts. Maybe (4) lead screws. On my Prusa i3 I'm adding a 4th linear bearing ( 3 in kit ) to eliminate flexing on 2 corners of my build plate making leveling a pain. Nice job though. That's a lot of work. Hope it prints great for you.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Man what a difference. I wired in a 1K pot for fan speed adjustment. 10K will work but makes for narrow window of adjustment. Filament has not over heated once during this 8 hour print. Best of all is that the extruder motor is barely luke warm. Before the new fan it was extremely hot. Thanks for the input. Once again this site has made 3d printing possible and fun.

Printed and mounted a fan bracket today. Just need to wire it into the power supply. Thanks.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Hey man, I feel your pain. Here is an STL of a "Heart" picture frame for your wife. It's sure to buy you some alone time with your machine. 2 parts, a round base with a round insert of 3 little hearts ( wife and you in big space and kids in 3 little hearts ). This is drawn in "INCHES" so reset your units of import specs. Enjoy.by elwood127 - Reprappers
While printing support structure feed is slow enough that filament melts and bunches. Would a fan blowing on exposed filament help with this. If I'm lucky I can catch it and pause print and remove melted section. A pain on an 8 hour print. thanks.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Hey guys, will an all metal hot end melt my plastic injection molded holder? Thanks.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Hey all, in Repetier there is a feed rate slider in Manual Control, is that material feed rate or motion rate? Sometimes my solid fill comes out prickly. Wondering if it's moving to fast. Thanks.by elwood127 - Reprappers
The site won't let me use my msn email address. Thanks.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Just a warning, I bought the "Aurora" Prusa i3 from Alibaba.com. Nice kit but the X AXIS motor mounts are printed instead of injection molded. The parts were so crooked that the motors bound. I had to cut and wedge one to get the feed rods and screw feeds to line up. I have since printed these parts myself and they are straight and square. Machine works well now. Instructions were all but uselessby elwood127 - Reprappers
Hey guys, I'm printing a house roof. Two sides with a typical pitch. It keeps coming out hollow. If I stand it up on end it prints it solid. I created the solid just as I always do. Any ideas? Brian.by elwood127 - Reprappers
Yeah! Changed bed "left/ front" from "0" to "25". All is centered now. Thanks.by elwood127 - Reprappers
I lied, I just checked the stl kit part files and they are not even the same parts as my kit. They are the earlier version. I told you this company was #%&* up. If you want them you gottem. Brian.by elwood127 - Prusa i3 and variants

The kit stl files I have are for parts with holes for feed rods and a 2 piece shell for x axis feed rods. No zip ties used except for belts. Much more solid.by elwood127 - Prusa i3 and variants
I have the Aurora Prusa i3. Worst instructions ever but does come with video instructions and a full set of STL kit parts. If you guys would like manual or stl files just let me know.

My print area center is off to the keft 50mm. Changing values in x y min/ max has no effect. Using Repetier 1.0.6 on a prusa i3. Slicer3 shows middle of bed. Even treied moving part over but always starts off center. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian.by elwood127 - Reprappers

I was reading the "Bolts" thread but thought I would place this here. I draw with Rhino 3d. Over many years I've drawn and or downloaded (from Stock Drive Products) Nuts ( standard, nylock and cap), Washers ( flat and lock), Button Head, Fillister, Flat Head, Socket Head, Shoulder and Pan Head screws in 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-32 and 1/4-20. I also have vertually every kind of electronic component uby elwood127 - Mechanics
Thanks to everyone for your help. I went into Slicer props and was able to get a better setup. I also figured out like a dumb%#* that you need to check nozzle height at all four corners. This helped with the slight tilt I had on my second attempt (see photo). It's very exciting getting closer to good results. I do 3d cad for fun and have many projects I can build now. Thanks again for the tips. Iby elwood127 - Reprappers
