I have been a little absent on the forum this week, been working on a grant during spring break, got it in the mail this morning. I have still been printing just not taking the time to post. I will do better this week, not as much hanging over my head. I am lasering new acrylic build surfaces this morning. The old ones were just worn out. I have also been really looking at the mini mendel. thinkby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group

Did we even get a list of all the people who attended the last meeting? I don't think that I had a chance to even talk to everyone.by troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
I'm in but I tink the te should be in morning not the afternoon. Maybe 10:00 until noon ands then we can break for lunch.by troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Print six hours, tune up Makerbot 6hrs. I had about 6 more hours of successful printing and then the thermosister wire on the heated build platform broke from fatigue. The repetitive back and forth motion I guess. I repaired it and will be back in business today. Here is what I have so far. We are getting there. There are still some files misnamed in the MendelSTL folder but since I now haveby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group

Z stage is skipping and losing steps. Leveled oiled and readjusted build platform. No quality prints today Troyby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Had a good printing day today, printed for 4.5 hours straight before I ran into any problems. Made 3 good looking frame vertex pieces abou 1.5hrs apiece. Will post pictures tomorrow. I am going to laser a new acrylic platform first thing in the morning and hope to get another 4-5 hrs good printing tomorrow. I also worked on the new as yet unveiled geeksok site.

I have been doing a lot of work on my website as well as working on the makerbot. I have a forum up and running on my website now and a lot is going on behind the scenes. You may notice a slightly different URL when you go to my page, that is because I am preparing a new Hackerspace/user friendly site for release (Coming Very Soon) I am new to forums but I think I have it running right please posby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
That sound like a great idea. It would be very nice to learn some friction welding. It could come in very handy someday. I wonder could you butt weld two pieces together? Troyby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Tested the heated platform this afternoon. It heats WOOT!!!! but I am tired and keep screwing up prints. Going to take a break and try again in a bit. Troyby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Printed a couple of parts before I tried out the heated platform. There is a little warping but they are serviceable. Next to test heated platform. Troyby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Heated platform is all done and the makerbot is extruding correctly again now that I have the PLA out of it. Such a shame I had such high hopes for PLA. Will test the platform tomorrow. Troyby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Not yet ready me and Michael worked on it last night though. Should be very soon.by troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Ok so I rebuilt the extruder this morning. I had a nut washer and extra PTFE barrel on hand so no worries. here it is all finished BUT..........PLA is really pissing me off. My new improved extruder is much better and stronger than the old one and even though I oiled the PLA it is just not going through the extruder like it should. it stays very soft even for a while after it has cooled andby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Belt jig had a day printing today PLA does not like to feed like ABS so I was encouraging it by hand and CRACK there goes the retainer ring. So I had to disassemble the extruder, CAD up the replacment laser it and reassemble the extruder. Ok so it is back together and I did some research to find out how to fix PLA, so it seems that you can give a light coat of oil and it will run betteby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group

I am putting a box making app in the laser folder on dropbox. It would be excellent for making boxes to make molds. Troyby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
Here is a link that you may find useful if you are thinking about doing some casting. follow the link it is called soft tooling for casting. Here is another link for plaster molds. Dental plaster is high quality comes in 50lb. barrels and is fairly cheap, and I know a dentist who will order it for us. Troyby troycoon - Oklahoma City RepRap User Group
