Re: Upgrading my V2?

Thanks for the quick response and for the advice!

I am open to get anything that will improve print quality. Are those stepper motors more precise? Also open to any other upgrades that will help like the dual extruders on the v4. Those look great!

Re: Upgrading my V2?

I am in a similar situation as HaloJDawg. I bought my machine in 2016 (a Rostock V2 with the upgraded cheapskates) and stopped using it because life happened. After 4 years I got it back up and running and I want to put it to work again. I want to upgrade to the DUET controller and the SE300 hotend,...

Re: Enclosure build to print ABS and Nylon bigger and faster

I just made some tabs to lock the bottom brackets into place, you're more than welcome to use them. I've attached them to this post.

Re: Enclosure build to print ABS and Nylon bigger and faster

What color tint did you use on your enclosure? It has the perfect amount of dark. Also, what material is that? Acrylic or polycarbonate? How thick are the cuts? The original creator of these brackets recommends 1/4" thick. Not using the wedges will save you a step in the future if you add more ...

Re: Enclosure build to print ABS and Nylon bigger and faster

I did notice the size of the screws, but I always thought that blind nuts were measured by their outer diameter, not by the size of the screws that go inside them (silly me). Also, thanks so much for redesigning the top bracket! I was actually in the process of redesigning it myself, but you just sa...

Re: Enclosure build to print ABS and Nylon bigger and faster

What size are those inserts? I measured an 8.20mm-8.45mm diameter for the insert holes on the brackets. M8s seem like they wouldn't be snug and M10s seem like they'd be way too tight. Got all the heat-set inserts installed and will hopefully be finishing it up this weekend. Still trying to decide if...

Re: SD Card problem

I am having the same exact issue. I insert the card and the screen goes from the home screen to the Repetier 0915 screen. I am positive I connected the ribbon cables correctly. I am also using the SD card that came with my printer kit.
