definetley sounds like a short somewhere, that or your hotend is pulling too much power

1 moar day ahhhhhhhhh

i think i will be able to print, epoxy to hold the bolt and a ziptie to tension it

Some friends and I will be there saturday I got them into 3d printing last year and they think it is so cool.

I have but if i could get this one working long enough to print out a new part id rather do that

put wsome solder on the tip of your iron, also you shouldnt apply heat for too long or you run the risk of damaging it

REcently i have been having extrusion issues with my printer, i thought it was my heater cartridge until i looked at my extruder. Part of the plastic part that holds the bearing and the bolt for the knurled part. I'll post pics soon. Any ideas on what to do short of ordering a new part?

I believe the thermal barrier should be stainless steel for better insulation. I'd make a prototype before you try to sell anything. If you have a printer you could always print something and sell it

HOw hot do the chips get without heat sinks ? Because mine overheat after seconds!

ANDDDD i put the pololu on backwards, It wont work. Is there a diode i can jumper or is it shot?

what is the difference in stepping, accuracy?

no jumpers, I found the problem with the heat, the areduino was getting 12v form the ramps and caused it to get really hot. Still having issues connecting to pronterface

it also seems like the arduino board gets hot, is that normal? Not printing yet just trying to connect

I disabled all the temp sensors, swt to type 33. BUt how do I calibrate my motors? ALso in the link it talks of jumpering the drivers to enable 1/16 steps is that already done or is it needed?

My Ramps is coming today and I haven't the slightest Idea what to do. I have my motors rewired to hook up with the ramps, DIY endstops, but software is my weakness. Do I just load Marlin on it then connect to pronterface? are all the calibration settings in The marlin firmware?

Taulman's website says this about the nylon trimmer line. Can I just use plain Nylon trimmer line? Trimmer line does "look" like and contain nylon, however, trimmer line or weed-whacker line also contains various additives that are destructive and or dangerous for your 3D Printer. First, it has ...

I didn't, I used what i had around the house, I use 3mm so 2.89 mm wasn't too different. I only had square line but it worked, you CAN fit a square peg in a round hole if the peg is smaller then the hole. I managed to print a Delicate ring a thing but that was it. I Had to print slow.

Has Anyone on here done it? I was in the middle of trying when my computer crapped out on me. Pics please

I think I can overcome that, i have quite a few heatsinks from some gamecubes systems I have been modding and they have a millimeter or two of thermal compound which I think should work when positioned right

ANybody have an Idea of how far apart the pololu chips are apart? I have a big Heatsink and wanna know if it will work or if I need to find a new one.

I printed one of these on my H-1 with glow in the dark PLA and it looks awesome . I love this model

I messaged him and asked if he would take $70, 3 was for shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/RAMPS-1-4-REPRA ... 20d5bab6a2

Just Thought I'd let you guys know I managed to pick up a RAMPS Board with 4 pololus for $73 USA too , not chinese

theres a solar powered sand printer around teh interwebz

If you can , try it on a different computer
