What about H-1's?

I think I need a Bowden setup, My linear bearings make the extruder gears low enough to hit my belt and start eating it. I was thinking of mounting the extruder where the z-axis motor would be ( on the other side) and use this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29141 for the hotend

Yeah That's what I thought

KISS looks great! I am still trying to get it to work with my 4 axis board

I have a snow day today so I figured I'd upgrade my y-axis to linear bearings. The thing is, When I printed all my bearings before , My printer was terrible so each bearing had no wiggle room at all. But now that it prints well my bearings seem slightly too big. I know it is calibrated correctly. LM...

I think they are a pretty new company , which would explain the website issues. I use IE because Everything else doesn't run well On win8 . Works fine .

I think it says :3421 W Sylvania, fort worth , 76111, it is hand written though so there is a chance I read it wrong. Might want to map quest it.

Ok thanks

Yup, printing now, It seems to extrude a lot more then before (bigger strands) XD I think There was a lot of burned up filament in there for a while .

New ptfe (3rd actually) , and cleaned the nozzle really well with a pin and it extrudes properly now.

I have a fan on my peek, when I push it though by hand it feels like it hit something hard, not really a jam . I have also tried pushing it through just the nozzle with no luck, as for the torch, I heated it up then test with a thermo couple and when it got to 220c I tried pushing it through, I am c...

i print with a .5 nozzle, i have tried putting filament thriugh the entre hot end and through the nozzle itself while being heated with a torcb same problem

It may be deformed , I never heated it that much but that's all I can think of as the problem. I print in PLA and can't even use my hand to extrude filament through the nozzle. But when I look through the nozzle it Is round.

anyone?

I Have an H-1 so no Bowden and the ptfe is fine, could the nozzle possibly shrink after so much heat with the torch?

For what ever reason, my hot end is now jamming up frequently, no change in temp, it actually gets up to that temp, repeatedly torched the nozzle. I have been a week without jams until today. Any ideas? It doesn't even extrude the correct amount of filament when it is first is re done.

Thanks John I appreciate it, Luckily the hotglue stuck and I am printing now :) First thing I did was print out extra parts in case it happens again. I have a very simple linear x-carriage now that works pretty good. Also Jake, They are great guys I have sent them a bunch of emails when I was buildi...

did anyone change mm/rev on KISS? from 1.25mm?

I did my Idlers a while ago, I have sharpie marks on them to make sure they work

Thanks, I'll try tightening it I have the hose clamp mod but it may need to be adjusted.

Some times my y-axis skips steps, I use EMC2 with the 4-axis board, H-1 . It doesn't happen constantly , and only at higher speeds so far (6000mm/ min) But I feel I should be able to go faster and not have them skip steps. It only does it on prints sometimes and only enough to start printing the obj...

pretty sure I even saw someone build one in 8 , I Built my H-1 in 20 , then calibrated it for months XD

I was thinking maybe the mm/ rev option but heard that it didn't do anything

Using EMC2 which is the same as mach , it runs the extruder, just not enough. Its set to 5d-absolute e aswell.

Can I see a config for an H-1 ? I finally got it to work but it barley does any extruding, I see it is extruding but not nearly enough.
