@spacexula: Do you have the profounddevice mendel printing? Or do you have some images that show of your wade extruder attached to the profounddevice? You also mentioned you went for another extruder circuit.. Is this the extruder board like makerbot? If so how to hook that all up to the arduino board, or do you also a makerbot motherboard.. @Krisc: have you created any replacement parts forby mhensen - General New Machines Topics
@spacexula As you've noticed the pressure is off. If you've already started with the wade extruder I will still take it of your hands.. I do believe that it is a better solution then the bowden extruder included.by mhensen - General New Machines Topics
Hi all, First of all I have to apologize to James Villeneuve because I finally received my long awaited package!!. I got a mail on the 17 of march stating that it was on it's way, I guess that caused a wrong perception as the package was eventually send on the 30th of march.. While I was counting on that 30th to arrive. So my James I apologize for the missing x-bar and extruder. with kind regby mhensen - General New Machines Topics
plus the wade extruder section. Otherwise I have an x-axis and a hot end.. but no way to push the filament through the plastruder.. Or do I do this by hand :-) But I think the biggest need is for the Wade extruder.. Mounting it someway to slide on the rods can't be to difficult. I just got a message that my hot end will be shipping tomorrow. Now I have build the mendel, tested the cnc boaby mhensen - General New Machines Topics
The x-bar KrisC posted ..http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2196 + the Wade extruder parts.. That should be enough to build the complete X-axis. At least I guess. I am not an expert on this :-)by mhensen - General New Machines Topics
this looks what is in his photo's.. :-) Who can print one? including the wade extruder.. I'll take it of your hands!by mhensen - General New Machines Topics
indeed the table support is one of the first, but also the x.. it seems to fragile to me! Fragile in the meaning of flexing and bending.. Let me correct myself if I didn't get through correctly. I never ever have been in the illusion of having a ready to go printer.. I knew this would be a project for tinkering and adjusting..Playing and learning so to say! The only problem I have is that I misby mhensen - General New Machines Topics
Sorry. I've got no idea yet on how to do that.. But with the parts you've mentioned I think I can always figure out how to get it connected to the x-bar.. And then hopefully it can print some replacement parts. Doesn't matter how slow that might be.. as long as it does.. From their on I should be able to improveby mhensen - General New Machines Topics
For the ones that don't have received their x-bar perhaps the parts at I guess that then you can finish a build. I just found out that the tubing can be purchased at an aquarium store.. (missed that tubing too.. ) . I am in for this.. PM has been sent! with kind regards and thanks for your help! Michaelby mhensen - General New Machines Topics
Finally I had some time to look at my parts I have recieved from James. And start the build. Too bad the bolts (M8) were missing so I have cut new M8 rods for my build.. Too bad I haven't received my extruder and xbar items as promised.. Tried contacting James for the last 2 weeks requesting for shipping numbers or replacements.. But no answer so far.. You can see it on my blog at (http://wwby mhensen - General New Machines Topics
@Jeffrey Please take notes and pictures of your steps.. Could be helpfull for others!! As the extruder is one of the essential parts, I don't want ti screw that part up! :-)by mhensen - For Sale
Mine should be in the mail ( the x and extruder).. I saw some other mail telling he could start with the y or extruder.. so I guess he's hot the extruder parts in the mail..by mhensen - For Sale
I'd like 2 sets.. insulator/barrel/nozzleby mhensen - For Sale
I hope this is not a structural problem.. Keep me posted please.. don't know if I might run into the same problem.. Although James showed it all up and running with 3 axis.. Let's hope it is just a software problem..by mhensen - For Sale
De eerste doos is binnen.. Ziet er goed uit op 1 gebroken motormount maar daar heb ik james al over gemaild...Nu de rest nog.. Ga niet beginnen voordat ik alles binnen heb,, anders heb je maar half werk staan :-) Tja.. ik heb nu $350+$25=$375 +/- 300 euro betaald en de eerste zending is zonder invoerkosten binnen gekomen.. dis ik zit nog redelijk.. Al kan ik misschien straks alleen maar op lagby mhensen - Dutch User Group - Archive
Hoi Jeroen, Zelf heb ik er een van James besteld :-) (You can call me stupid or not) Natuurlijk kijk ik ook naar de fora en zie daar tal van commentaar, maar als we alles even redelijk op een rijtje zetten dan hebben we het volgende beeld. Kosten van alle onderdelen los is hoger als de onderdelen van james.. Dit is dus alles inc electronica etc.. ik heb er $350 voor betaald..nog wat invoerrechby mhensen - Dutch User Group - Archive
I am one with a status shipped... I haven't got the idea of being 'scammed'. Will it be printing? I think it will, I rather have the idea that, due to all the orders, he's too busy to create the full working version. That's my idea!by mhensen - For Sale
Hoi, Ik ben op zoek naar 1kg 3mm ABS .. Wie heeft er of teveel of heeft een adres waar ik dit kan verkrijgen in nederland. Ik denk dat 5kg een beetje erg veel is als je nog niet eens een reprap hebt staan.. en dus ook niet weet hoeveel je verbruikt!! Laat het ff weten aub.. met vriendelijke groet, Michaelby mhensen - Dutch User Group - Archive
For me goes the same. Any mail i've sent has answered pretty quick. Keeps me wondering about the time differences :-). I have no doubts this mendel 'catalyst' will be up and running according expectations, perhaps and hopefully even better! So far I have been very content with the way things go..!! Nice videos to show you what you can expect. Nicely boxed and clear! @Jeffrey perhaps we canby mhensen - For Sale
