Re: V2 (mid 2016) to V3.2 (current) upgrade?

Do I just crank the voltage adjust all the way counter clockwise to the stop to max or is there a target voltage I should shift it to?

Re: State of the Printer

You folks seem to have a fascinating project here. I may have to reconsider my thoughts on rebuilding my V2 into a V3.2 and just rebuilding it into a functional V2 from its current knocked down and stored condition.... I don’t think I have ever even seen a core X-Y printer in operation... but then w...

Gene, add about 30 years to your current total (guessing you are about 30 something?) and we will see how much you have left of short term memory! :o I hope your luck in this area is better than mine! I just hit 70 last week and I admit I are starting to really feel my age
