Quotesmerrett79 I haven't had a response about the 1.4 but there is support for these printers - I've had replies from Serge before and you'll see him on these forums. I have a 1.01 (I think) printing really well compared to my first QUBD two up. Just reprinted parts for it and have made the leap to ABS. For info, I used the openjscad printer plate and had 18mm mdf and 8mm dia rods all round. Heby mike3 - Smart_Rap
Hello on the Folger 2020 Extruder part M6x26 Stainless Steel Nozzle Throat I want to buy some replacements .. are there 2 different kinds.. I see some that says just Stainless steel and I see others that say it teflon lined? or all they all the same with teflon? thanksby mike3 - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteMichaelBrock I tried using Cura but I do not have the right-click option to separate the plate for some reason. I have found someone that will print the parts for my printer (at a price of course) and he will print the "latest version" but now I'm worried that the latest stls will have critical errors in them and getting things re-printed is going to be a pain without access to a printer.by mike3 - Smart_Rap

Quotezarnold16 Hi everyone my printer is working now with the new Ramps and Arduino. I have a question about my printer during the prints. In the video I attached, should my printer be that loud when printing, as in when my x axis moves. Also, How can I get rid of the ripples on the single side that is parallel with the x-axis.

Quotesignalcruncher I had the same problem when I first tested my extruder - it just clicked and clicked and wouldn't pull the filament through. I found a coupld posts about the build manual being wrong for plugging in the wires for the extruder - so I tried the solution and it worked for me. I simply turned the plug around where it plugs into the Ramps board and the motor reversed its directioby mike3 - Prusa i3 and variants
Quotezarnold16 This Kit is starting to make me regret buying it. I have a new 5mm threaded rod on the way because it wouldn't allow a nut to pass over in a certain spot and oiling it didn't help. The extruder won't work. Then lastly I just fried my Arduino and Ramps board. Keep at it you will get it eventually ..

Quotercjoseb If you would like to use Cura to separate out the parts: It's a little tedious but it works. Once the entire printed parts plate appears in OpenJSCad: 1. Click on get stl. 2. Once the stl file is downloaded to your pc give it a name like Master plate. 3. Open it up in Cura. 4. In Cura right click on the part and select separate object into parts and give it some time 5.
