Re: Slic3r 0.7.2b Profiles to get you started

I was reading your .ini files and it says bed is 200x200. Are you using the full area available for the bed? and is the size metric?
Thanks,
jim

Another oddity is that it moves in one direction very fast but in the other really slow.

Re: Power but no movement

I am beginning to suspect the board is bad. I tried to switch the inputs and all the motors work on the x axis input in one direction depending on active low enabled or not. but not on any of the other inputs.

Re: Power but no movement

Yes,
I tried to reset the output signals and and disabling the active low but still no movement on z or y. I am getting one direction on x, when output active low is enabled it moves right , disabled it moves to the left.

We put the box together so we can take the printer off and use the controller system for a CNC if we wanted to.

I R DONE!!!!!1

Well not really but petty close. Still need to wire up the controller and pretty much every thing else. I have two LED thermostats from ebay. One for the heated bed, the other I hope to be able to use the thermocoupler and the led readout to measure the temp on the hot end. The first picture is of t...

Re: 24v steppers

Thanks, I think I'll save them for something else. We were looking into using 123d Catch so it might work ok for a turntable.

Re: Hot end question

I coated the thermistor leads and put kaptan tape on the resistor ends. I still need to solder the ends together. Is there any sure way to keep the thermistor ends connected? I looked at the wiki and it doesn't really show how to use the new hot end to keep the resistors from falling out. Seems like...

Hot end question

Hi,
I added RTV to the outside of the heating resistors to keep them in place. Please check it out and let me know if this is ok.

I still need to work on how to make the heated bed so it won't warp the x axis bed so I still have a bit of time.
