Salut! Je dirais que n'importe qui ayant suffisamment de patience et d'enthousiasme peut construire son imprimante. La prusa est beaucoup plus simple que la Mendel. Si vous avez de la difficulté avec quoique ce soit, il y a le wiki, les forums, le irc, tout le monde sera prêt à vous aider. Lancez-vous! C'est long et difficile, mais c'est vraiment cool d'imprimer sa première pièce! Yvesby Kabory - RepRap Groupe d'Utilisateurs Francophone
Hi! I'm Kabory, and I would like to see a Reprap user group for my home town, Sherbrooke, in Québec, Canada. I am currently working on a prusa, and am actively showing my progress to a lot of people here. Many don't even know what 3D printing is, but they all think it's awesome once they get the concept. Thank you!by Kabory - Request a Local RepRap User Group
J'ai moi même très hâte d'imprimer des affaires, si je peux vous aider ça va me faire plaisir quand je vais faire des pièces qui se tiennent!by Kabory - Canada, Montreal RUG
Un conseil pour les hottip, gosse pas avec les bolts en laiton pis le fil de toaster. Après des jours de gossage et de frustration, je me suis acheté une jhead mk4 de hot-ends.com. Cela a valu chacun des dollars investis sans aucun regret. Depuis ce temps j'imprime. Bon j'ai de la misère mais au moins ce n'est pas à cause du hottip. Aussi perds pas de temps à essayer d'imprimer sur du tapeby Kabory - Canada, Montreal RUG
Here's what I got with your suggested settings. The part on the left was aborted after the first layer, and the part on the right after the second layer. My E-steps are calibrated perfect, If I ask for 100mm extrusion, I get 100mm dead on. It really looks like the tip is picking up some plastic while it's moving. What can I do to improve the print? Here's my actual slic3r ini file: bottom_lby Kabory - Printing
Thanks for the tip! There is a need for a good manual, to "visually" explain all the slic3r settings. Kind of like the visual guide to building the prusa. That was such a good thing I had it. I'll try these seetings and keep you posted. Also, do you have a quick tip for cleaning the nozzle? All those print failures are making more PLA stick on the tip. I take some off with longnose pliers, buby Kabory - Printing
After printing a bunch of 10mm calib cubes, I somewhat successfully printed most of my first part. W00t! During my 10mm cubes printing, I had to lower down the extrusion multiplier to .75 because the first layer got too much plastic and it started to build up and when the second layers comes in, is scrapes it and lifts the part off the tape. So after lowering that multiplier, I had less plasticby Kabory - Printing
x y and z axis are calibrated ok. For E, maybe I need some work, but I'm almost there. Working on a heated bed now, meanwhile I'm receiving and MK2 ordered yesterday.by Kabory - Printing
I must admit, Slic3r is truly amazing. I just entered feedstock and filament size, and it started printing. It has perfect retract settings right off the bat. But now I'm back to having problems with the sticking. The first layer is laid down perfectly on the bed. Then is moves up to the second, speeds up, and rips the first layer off. I guess I just gotta have that heated bed. Is there somby Kabory - Printing
All right, I'm printing littles 10x10x10mm hollow cubes again now. They are not super square, but it looks like it needs some flowrate calibration. Now the first layer sticks to the tape most of the time. But I run the printer in a cold room, that doesn't help, since I don't have a heated bed. yet. The next big issue I have, is printing the first layers. My tip is picking up some of the depositby Kabory - Printing
Oh... my endstop signals are routed along the motor wires also.... I should route them elsewhere. Good thing, I'm going to try it. Many thanksby Kabory - Printing
Hi I also got these, they seem pretty random... Unfortunately I can't print reliably for now, but I have seen my prusa do this Also sometimes when printing a hollow cube, it extrudes one filament kind of diagonally across two walls. ?by Kabory - Printing
Thanks for the reply I got the tape and some glass today. I was using repsnapper and then I switched to sfact. I find it soooo much better, printing the perimeter,making a z-move before the first move... Will slic3er do all those tricks? Will it center the print? Can I use it with pronterface? Thanks!by Kabory - Printing
Hello there I'm getting real good at homing, adjusting the z endstop, leveling the bed, and removing messy plastic blobs. I'm looking in the forums, and see that pretty much everyone has its own recipe. So far I printed like 3-4 "successful" 10mm cubes. Everything else was a blob. I'll tell you what I do, please tell me what I'm doing wrong. It's a prusa mendel, with 1.75mm PLA feedstock, aby Kabory - Printing
To make sure your motor is correctly wired to the RAMPS, check the motor wires resistance with an ohmmeter. On a 4 wire motor, one pair of wires should read around 2 ohms, and the other pair 2 ohms also. Any other measure should read "open". Wire one pair to 2A and 2B, and the other pair to 1A and 1B. Then, turn the little potentiometer on the stepper driver bord to full counterclockwise, theby Kabory - RAMPS Electronics
Yes, I did. But there is another section in section 33 regarding V1.3 and V1.1, // uncomment one of the following lines for RAMPS v1.3 or v1.0, comment both for v1.2 or 1.1 #define RAMPS_V_1_3 // #define RAMPS_V_1_0 This is how I am configured. Yesterday I made some testing with repsnapper. I hooked up the heater to the output D9, and using the cursor I was able to control the heating manually.by Kabory - RAMPS Electronics
Hello everybody. I've managed to make dry runs out of my mendel prusa build. Now I'm working on the extruder and hot end and I have problems. First off, I'm using Ramps 1.4, with sprinter firmware, and repsnapper host. I made it work with this setup. The problem is I probably have a defective ramps shield. The extruder output (D10) is always around 7 Volts, even when the ramps shield is unplugby Kabory - RAMPS Electronics
This is for my first build, so I can't actually print myself the parts I need. I want 12 copies of these parts: I'm based in Quebec, Canada. Please PM me the full price including shipping. Kaboryby Kabory - Wanted
Hello there I'm in Sherbrooke, Quebec. I'm starting a prusa build. Is someone near me willing to print me a complete set of plastic parts for the prusa build? I also need everything else, electronics, mechanical, etc. Anyone with "complete kits" for sale are welcome. Thanks, Yvesby Kabory - Wanted
