is a decent Wiki for setting up a smoothie. If you clone the Git repository, ConfigSamples/Smoothieboard/config take very little modification to get a smoothie to work on a typical i3.by markshur - Smoothie
Gah - can't believe I missed that. Thanks!by markshur - Smoothie
How about the case where you have the beta and a "non-standard" resistance? It turns out that the thermistor embedded in the heater pad has a beta of 3950 with 47K ohm @ 25C and no data sheet. Blech.by markshur - Smoothie
Quotearthurwolf QuoteCaptain_sq The termistor types have been quite static for a while. Any more types added not yet documented? Well, it's not like there are new thermistors being created that often on the market And for people who have an exotic thermistor ( which is very rare but happens ), Smoothie provides two different methods to use the datasheet to get it to work with Smoothie, so everby markshur - Smoothie
We could definitely use better interface instructions on connecting various user panels to the smoothie. The config descriptions are adequate for the most part, but having illustrated how-tos on setting up the hardware and cabling runs would be nice. This is especially true since the RepRapDiscount smart GLCD daughtercard has *never* been available for sale as far as I can tell - I know that Ubby markshur - Smoothie
What would help would be to accumulate a set of working 'canned conversion configurations' for various low-end kit printers. I know the wiki contains examples of HowTo for the various features in general, but having config files that can be downloaded directly to XXXX printer would be really nice.by markshur - Smoothie
Do you know anywhere I can buy one set of printed parts for the FB2020 plus using the latest BoM?by markshur - CoreXY Machines
QuoteDuckmang I've got my first real complaint with this printer. The set screw that holds the heater cartridge in the hot end doesn't reliably do its job. I've had the cartridge come out twice. The first time I noticed that Repetier host was pausing to heat the extruder. It normally doesn't do that so I investigated and found the cartridge dangling and glowing red hot in the middle of a testby markshur - Extruded Aluminum Frames
A couple of clarifications. Re the 8mm/10mm issue, the printed parts supplied are for 8mm rods, but the print quality is so poor they might as well be designed for 9mm. Yes, there is that much excessive clearance - my comment about the bottom X rod falling out is not exaggerated. The STL files are all for 10mm rods, so you cannot simply reprint the parts with the files supplied, and if I'm goiby markshur - Extruded Aluminum Frames
... and here's a contrary opinion. I bought this kit based on the above review. My risk was small, since I already have a good working printer (Original Prusa i3 MK2) and I also have a hardware design background. I expected to have to do a few minor tweaks to get this working. Wrong! 1) The Z axis rods are listed as 10mm in both assembly and BOM, but the kit supplied 8mm rods. This is evidentby markshur - Extruded Aluminum Frames
