The clogging of the head is a real problem. So you use the 5th Gen: Greg's Wade reloaded when I look at the gears. Thanks for your helpby axeldk - General Mendel Topics
So this extruder? or a later evolution of it? And a hot end like thisby axeldk - General Mendel Topics
Hi, Got one of the first versions of the Mendel here. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/RepRap_v2_Mendel.jpg) This is an old printer from a school. They want to update the extruder and hot end. So the question is. What is the best extruder and hot end combination for a Mendel at this moment? Thanks Axel Dekeyserby axeldk - General Mendel Topics
Looks really good. If I'm correct I don't even need the stepper drivers for each stepper. The duet can drive them directly. Do you know if I can still use the Opto Endstops or do I have to install something new? Which software do you use to generate your G-code for the duet?by axeldk - General Mendel Topics
Quotebgkdavis Have you considered a Duet controller? Never heard of this controller. That's why I posted this thread What's the big difference with my controller? Big advantages? Are there examples of users that upgraded their Mendel with this controller?by axeldk - General Mendel Topics
Hello, I have got my hands on this Reprap Mendel. It has a case, an emergency switch, upgraded extruder, heated bed, optostops,... But the electronics are V1.2. So I was thinking maybe to upgrade them. Would it be possible without all to many problems and alterations? Also the hot end is old and warped from the heat. Would it be possible to upgrade this hot end. Or is it better to keep thisby axeldk - General Mendel Topics
Hey, I've got a printer from school which has several problems that I'm solving. I was busy disassembling the extruder to clean it and found out the white PEEK insulator is a bit crooked. The wired part is a bit warped from the heat I think. Now I was thinking to just renew the whole extruder because I think this one is kind of old. Now my questions are: 1) Which extruder is the one I have? Thby axeldk - Plastic Extruder Working Group
