Re: Prints too small - 9 years ago
If the prints are consistently smaller then it sounds like its more of a steps per mm setting. This is in your config.h fileby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Re: Cost of Rep Rap build.. - 10 years ago
Last year I built a prusa i3 single plate 6mm aluminium. Since a couple of upgrades I think I now have $800 into it including the E3d hotend. Have priced up a new identical printer for myself and have come up with $550 which gives you: Aluminium single plate prusa i3 All M10 rods E3D hotend. Ramps electronics with smart lcd All the appropriate cooling fans for printing with PLA or ABS Of courseby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group

From what I've heard acrylic is expensive and difficult to cut or drill, but not sure on thatby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Plastic Sheet? - 10 years ago
Hi Everyone, Looking to make a box to sit under my Prusa I3 to hold the power supplies and electronics and things. Want to avoid using wood in case of fire so am looking for a plastic sheet I can buy easily and cheaply, that doesnt catch fire about 3-5mm thick. Anyone have any ideas on what to use and where to get it? Thanks Tomasby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: First build Prusa I3 parts and advice needed - 10 years ago
I'm about to start printing parts for another member here. Could print some parts for you too if you like. Send me a PM if interestedby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: Prusa I3 BOM Help - 10 years ago
I'd be happy to help out with printing plasticsby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: I3 parts needed - 10 years ago
I could print you parts and mail them. But only have white or Green filament atm. Definitely happy to help out thoughby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: extruder stepper stops working - 11 years ago
Mine is sorted. Driver was set very marginally too high.by tomas02 - General Mendel Topics
Re: extruder stepper stops working - 11 years ago
Have watched a print and it takes about 5 mins to stop. driver at that stage was only warm to touch. same as it normally isby tomas02 - General Mendel Topics
Re: extruder stepper stops working - 11 years ago
Having same problem, did you have any luck?by tomas02 - General Mendel Topics
Re: First Build, some doubt (Prusa i3) - 11 years ago
I built my first i3 recently with that extruder and was very easy to get help. Would definitely recommend it. Not sure about the x carriage thoughby tomas02 - Reprappers
Re: first build, faulty heatbed? - 11 years ago
All thanks should go to Dust. He helped me with my one. Hopefully other people that buy from Deal Extreme see this if their boards are the sameby tomas02 - Reprappers
Re: first build, faulty heatbed? - 11 years ago
Exact one I have. On that bottom picture you need to cut around the pads to seperate it from the copper heat spreader. I cut it with a craft knife. cut on lines like in photo. Use a ruler to get lines straight. Hope this helpsby tomas02 - Reprappers
Re: first build, faulty heatbed? - 11 years ago
Where did you get the heatbed from? And I had similar problems due to power pads on heatbed being connected to copper heat spreader. A photo of the bottom of your board would helpby tomas02 - Reprappers
Re: y-axis exclusive skipping - 11 years ago
Have similar issues and was wondering if it could be interference from heatbed power wires as they run very close to y motor wires I'm using a prusa i3by tomas02 - Reprappers
Re: Single pulsing stepper - 11 years ago
Have a very similar problem with all of my motors. Anyone know whats wrong?by tomas02 - RAMPS Electronics
Re: Anyone in the Manawatu area? - 11 years ago
Hi, I'm in Palmerston North and am putting together an i3. Bought a partial kit from Dust, and ordered electronics, steppers, and bearing from China. Total Bill at this stage is just under $700. Still waiting on electronics to arrive but should be very soon so I can get this thing workingby tomas02 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: Convert SCAD to Solidworks? - 11 years ago
Yea it means I can't use it in assembly's or modify it easily. Free cad method is very easy and quick and only made one error which was easily fixed in solidworksby tomas02 - General
Re: Convert SCAD to Solidworks? - 11 years ago
That method doesn't work for me because it adds all the triangles in, doesn't come out as nice as the guide showsby tomas02 - General
Re: Convert SCAD to Solidworks? - 11 years ago
Got it to work perfectly and with minimal effort. >Export as CSG from OpenSCAD >open CSG in FreeCAD >Save as STEP File >Open STEP in Solidworks and save as Solidworks Part. Can now be edited and used in solidworks Assembliesby tomas02 - General
Re: Convert SCAD to Solidworks? - 11 years ago
Thanks Normand I will give that a tryby tomas02 - General
Convert SCAD to Solidworks? - 11 years ago
Hi, I'm new to 3d printing (still waiting on parts to arrive to build my prusa i3) I'm experienced with Soidworks and prefer to use that over openscad as it makes sense to me. Is there any easy way to get dimensions from a scad file as I'd like to redraw some parts into solidworks so I can modify them comfortably. But STL's import terribly into solidworks as they are a mesh not a solid. Any one hby tomas02 - General
