Hi, I purchased a couple of hotends from Tom (0.5 and 0.35mm), after I managed to destroy the original hotend on my printer, and they were delivered in a couple of days. I have fitted the 0.5mm one to my Longboat Prusa Mendel with no issues at all - The mounting washer provided fits the original hotend mounting bolts on my extruder with no modification at all. After running through a few calibby jez_a - Australia, Melbourne RUG

Hi, Can anyone advise as to whether the J-Head Mk IV-B will fit as a replacement for a V5 Hotend in a Wades extruder? The V5 extruder I was using suffered a large leak of molten PLA, which jammed up the brass barrel, the brass heat block and when I tried to remove it the PTFE barrel sheared where the brass barrel meets the PTFE. I need a replacement and from the above comments the Mk IV-B seeby jez_a - For Sale
Hi voodoomagicman, Glad that you were able to get pronterface working. I just ran the following command from the terminal window, from within my user home directory: /Applications/3DPrinting/Pronterface/pronterface.app/Contents/MacOS/pronterface I have also changed the Settings->Options within Pronterface to point to where skeinforge is located. In the dialog box, change the "sliceby jez_a - General

Hi, Just a quick update, I ordered 2 x100k thermistors from RS here in Melbourne. Wired one up to the hot end, and with Pronterface I am able to heat the tip, and read the temp... Setting the Temp in Pronterface to 185 Deg C and tested extrusion with no issues. One question though, I don't have a Bootlace crimping tool, and connections to the heating resistor are not very stable. Does anyone hby jez_a - Reprappers
Thanks for that.... I'll order a couple of 100k 's from RS and hopefully they will turn up in a day or so, then I can get down to wiring it all up and start printing.... Thanks again....by jez_a - Reprappers
No, I received 2 thermistors in a zip lock bag, no markings etc. - I have checked the resistance with a multimeter, and they both read around 1.7/1.8K on the 20K scale. I have a 10K thermistor that I was going to use to monitor the bed temp, and that reads 9.29/9.31 on the same scale - I would think that from that it would seem that the thermistors I received are the 2K ones. I guess I will needby jez_a - Reprappers
Hi All, I've just received my back order thermistors, along with a roll of Kapton tape, from the reprapkitstore and I am wondering whether I have received 2K, 10K or 100K items? Is there any way to tell? I am a noob when it comes to thermistors Having read this thread I am keen to understand which thermistor I have? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated..
