Great, thanks. One thing I failed to mention is that if the print head is not in the home position when I turn it on, it says that is 0,0,0. I can move positive, but then only back negative to that point. It is the same for all axis.by haroldj - RAMPS Electronics
Hi all, I recently retired and had a project from a few years ago started, a Wilson II 3d printer by Marty Rice. Files are still on github. This printer is 200 x 300 and uses a rack and pinion setup to move a switch into position to level the bed. The x axis is supposed to move left to extend the arm and then move right to retract the arm. I assembled the printer and searched forever for firmwareby haroldj - RAMPS Electronics
Hi all, been a long time, but I am puzzled by a problem I am having. I have a wilson RS printer that has been working smoothly for years. I had an MK8 extruder on it with a .4 nozzle. I started having motor jittering problems, changed drivers, ramps board, etc. Finally decided to mount and try the same extruder that I had bought long ago with a .3 nozzle. All seemed to be working, but when Iby haroldj - Printing
I finally found the problem. I changed the USB cable and all works fine. I had changed everything else but the cable so I gave it a try and it worked. Cant figure out why just the bed temp was affected, but its working now. Thanksby haroldj - Reprappers
I knew that when I found the problem that I would feel foolish. Marlin was set up correctly, but I had a wonky usb cable. I changed the cable and it works fine. I knew it would be a "couldn't see the forest for the trees) type mistake. I replaced everything but the cable. Thanksby haroldj - Reprappers
Hi, I made a stupid mistake and shorted out a bunch of pins across the pins end (opposite of power in) of my ramps and mega board on my homebuilt wilson printer. It was not a good day. I replaced the ramps board and the mega2560, and the computer that was hooked to it (usb is dead). This printer has worked flawlessly for a year and I want to get it up and running again. I loaded the same Marby haroldj - Reprappers
I was at the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual fly in last week and NASA had a huge display area there with many 3D models of satellites, rovers, and even the space station. I asked if the files were available to the public and was directed to this site. check these out and I found some other 3ds and lwo files in other places in the JPL and NASA government sites that can be downloaded.by haroldj - Object repositories
I have had great luck with 51buyusa on ebay. I just tried another seller because they had a better color selection.by haroldj - General
Hi all, first time posting here. I am having a problem with a new batch of filament that I bought from digitude silicon valley on ebay. I got 5 rolls and am having problems trying to get them to print. The black and red will print and stick together, but the filament varies in diameter so it gets stuck in the extruder (will try to send it back.) The yellow and blue makes very niceby haroldj - General
Hi all, I would like to "go to bat" for eckertech. I bought a 2013 model ecksbot about a year ago and have had very good service from them. In fact, I am building a second ecksbot and will be building a 2014 version as soon as the files are released. There were a couple minor problems with the original kit, but the crew there made them right as soon as I brought it to thier attention. I have hadby haroldj - For Sale
