Quotearthurwolf Quoteinnkeeper This might be a silly question but... i keep seeing the board refered to as CLOSED SOURCE they post all thier schematics and board layers etc here and have so since version 1.0 an they keep it up to date. can someone explain??? It's very simple. Whether or not something is Open-Source is determined by the license under which the author allows you to use the designby innkeeper - Controllers

Quotejosh.pierce My steppers came with dupont style connectors and the board has molex style. Is there any harm in using them like this or should I change my steppers over to molex style. I have a hack for that. pull the plastic off the board that surrounds the pins, this gives you the correct length pins for the dupont connectors. then just plugged straight into the board. I did this becauseby innkeeper - Controllers
flyway97 will the next version of the sbase board also have pause / play switch and led connections? this seems to be missing from the 1.0 boardby innkeeper - Controllers
Thank you Flyway97, i appreciate you posting the fix. I've ordered the part.by innkeeper - Controllers
Quoteflyway97 we have found the reason of temperature problem come from DC-DC, L5970D 's Switching Frequency is not enough , we are testing new DC-DC now . This problem will be solve on on MKS SBASE V1.1 , and will add pins used for Max31855 thermocouples ,add heatsinks on Drv8825, just as frodriguez96 said. . MKS SBASE V1.1 will be saled about August or Setpember. flyway97: is there anyby innkeeper - Controllers
flyway97: if there is a retrofit we can do to reduce the temperature fluctuation issue please kindly post it. Other then the temperature measurement fluctuations, and a preference for wishing the connectors were DuPont type, I like the board designby innkeeper - Controllers
how close can you get with the board and not have temperature issues. also, what temp is the electrolytic rated for?by innkeeper - For Sale
I've figured it out, the connectors are backwards. pin 1 is pin 10 on both exp1 and exp2, so you have to cut / file off the tab off the connector and turn it around, and it works.by innkeeper - Controllers
i hooked up a generic red board type 12864 "reprap GLCD" to the EXT1 and EXT2 headers and it didnt work and i set the config appropriately. any ideas?by innkeeper - Controllers
I've had no such issues in maintaining hot end temp, and so far tested it with a Pico, a e3d v4 and a makergear v3b. Also auto tune seems to work fine for me.by innkeeper - Controllers
Problem in Paridise ok had my first issue with the pico, was working well, then started acting up. turns out the heater element is loose. ... which I didn't thing was possible, I don't see a way to tighten it. anyway, got a message out on the goggle support form .. see what they say. oh on retraction, if anyone is interested .. I am using a retraction of like .4 seems to work well. haven't gonby innkeeper - General
QuoteA2 RichRap takes an extended look at the state of Hot-Ends. interesting read, though, I should send him my v4 E3D to test with. i'm sure though he would get a better reply / response with getting it fixed / replaced then I did. on the Pico, I noticed he is running 3mm beta with Bowden version and I am running 1.75 production version with slot mount. My long term comfort level with it isby innkeeper - General
Quotenophead QuoteSo I have the pico now running on a makerbot m2. Should that be Makergear M2? Quotem2 sat gathering dust and I just used my makerbot 1.... I assume you do mean makerbot here? Must be easy to mix up if you have one of each. yes exactly, I've corrected the names, and made it clearer on makerbot calling it makerbot replicator 1 thanks!by innkeeper - General
So I have the pico now running on a makergear m2. using the makergear marlin firmware M2Marlinx1619Vwith24v40W.zip. (thermistor type 1) Overall, I am impressed. B3 did this right. very clean prints so far. no jamming or any issues what so ever running ABS while setting it up I had a few unrelated mishaps with my drive system while dialing that in, and was able to clear the hotend easily.

Wow - a total surprise Thursday, a pico arrived at my doorstep. I just about forgot I had ordered it. after wrangling with a e3d hotend, and not being able tor solve jamming issues with it (ongoing for a long time ... and I've simply given up). this comes at a nice time. well packaged, and presented upon opening, comes with a color booklet, ... thing looks beautiful. and i'm not just sayingby innkeeper - General
