Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

great feedback, thanks very much. I will take all of your views on-board and make a decision as soon as I have this first printer working. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the advice, you got it spot on. It took a while and I had to go through all the different flavours of Marlin one by one, but I got there in the end. As I said before, I found your site too late in the day and so have now built this Cartesian style printer, but I have fallen in love with ...

No it is not a Seemecnc machine. I discovered you guys too late. I have built a Cartesian, but am hoping to use it to make the parts I need for my Rostock. I am obviously new to the 3D printer world and bought this kit off Ebay, the firmware is Marlin. I really hope you can help as I would hope that ...

Hi there everyone, I have now got my controller looking like it wants to do what I ask, but there seems to be a missing step in the 'Prepare' process. I want to move my axes, but when I go through the stages I find that the stage where you select the amount to move, ie 10mm, 1mm or 0.1mm, is missing ...

I have a Makerbot style printer and am using a Mega/Ramps combination to run it.
I would love to build a Rostock and my question is can I use this same combination? if so what firmware will I need? and if not what boards and firmware must I buy?

Fantastic, thanks very much.

Wow, just got round to doing the mod on the week-end and what a difference. When you said I could get more motor speed I was expecting 10 or 20 % at best. I got 110% on X, 90% on Y and a whopping 280% on Z, Thanks very much for this massive improvement. One more thing I would like to know is do you ...

Thanks very much for your replies, sorry for the slow response but I have been away.
Everything you have said makes perfect sense. Do you think that the fact I have not made these mods would cause the machine to run slower than it could? I would love to get those steppers revving quicker

I was wondering about this opto isolator issue on the Chinese drivers. I have been using one of these 3 axis drives for a while now on my mill and have had no issues. Are these issues only experienced when 3D printing or should I consider making the mods on my mill as well?

Regards, Tony

I was soooooooooooo happy :D to see this forum had started up. I have been using Mach2 and then 3 for about 8 years now on my mill and lathe, and am now confident that when I hit that cycle start button things won't go bang. :mrgreen: When I started looking at 3D printing, however, I did get a bit ...
