My thoughts are also that your Mosfet died from the inside. Sorry to hear that Trike. TheHackerArtistby TheHackerArtist - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteBut the printer has been working pretty good. I did 2 11.5hr prints of a rosebud for mothers day and they turned out great. Ha! nice. Was she impressed with the gift? ( i'm assuming you intended to give the rosebud to your mother!) Thanks for posting. Good to know it ended up working well. It's pretty incredible replikeo could source everything for so little and still have the quality toby TheHackerArtist - Prusa i3 and variants
Hey guys. I'm about to build a Wilson TS as well. Just sourcing my last components. What I'm not sure about is what M5 threaded rod to choose from. I will be ordering from Misumi. Here are the options to choose from Class 2 or Class 3? Coarse or Fine ( thread pitch?) 1045 Carbon Steel ( black anodized or nickel plating?) or 314 Stainless Steel Left hand threaded or right hand threaded?

Ya, that's where I'll be sourcing my extruded parts and rods. I guess I'll get 7 bundles then, one of witch is from misumi! I still haven't quite figured our how to get them to cut to specific length. Their website isn't super user friendly but once I'll have ordered that then it's just a question of time and I'll have the Wilson up and running.by TheHackerArtist - Prusa i3 and variants
Ya I get why you'de want to just dive in with a premade kit. I didn't source everything individually. I got like 6 bundles on ebay that added up to all I needed. Also, I went for the Wilson TS variant of the prusa i3 in the end and cut the price down to bellow CAD $500 ! and it's sturdier! Best starter option in my opinion ( which isn't worth much..)

Hey Gadget_Greg, thanks for you input. It was a hard decision but I decided to source all the peices myself. I really wanted the aluminum model for various reasons. After shipping and conversion to Canadian dollars the kit would have been C $520 and that's not considering import charges... I got all I needed except the filament spool for C $550 and decided to opt for a design using fishing lineby TheHackerArtist - Prusa i3 and variants
Hey, Thanks sharing! I'm looking forward to updates! I'm considering buying the aluminium kit from Replikeo. It would ship to Canada. Did you have to pay extra fees over shipping? My other option is to source the components myself which would add up to about CAD $600 ( Including the 1 kg ABS spool). I'm just scared I'll end up paying taxes and import taxes and it would amount to the same thing foby TheHackerArtist - Prusa i3 and variants
