Re: 2nd Edition work in progress...[Updated 14Nov14]

Super Manual! A few things that I have learned since putting mine together: My extruder motor ran very hot, had to follow this post for it to cool down, "stepper motors are super hot!" (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=6024). Might be a good side note to include in the manual. On page ...

Re: EZstruder stepper temps and PLA

Guys, So I built my V2 over Christmas break with the kids. Went through 300 meters of ABS without a problem printing tons of things. I just started trying to use PLA and have had a whole host of issues - mostly with temps and jamming. My biggest problem with PLA is jams. Seems like many of my ...

Re: Printing with Line trimmer

Straight glass with glue stick. 75C Works every time. Started printing with this trim line this weekend and really like the stuff. Seems very strong, a bit flexible and has great layer adherence. The only problem I am having is bed adhesion. I have printed the same object 12+ times with a variety ...

Re: Repetier-Host - Manual Control Issue

I have an issue with Repetier-Host where the manual Z axis control will go up closer to the end stops, but will not go down. It will print ok, but the manual -z control doesn't work right...

Re: RAMBo Fan 1 Terminal Block to LED Light Control

As a follow up, I also put the G-code into the Mattercontrol, Slicer Settings, Printer, Custom G-Code settings so now it does automatically turn on and off when my print job starts and finishes! Thanks!

Re: RAMBo Fan 1 Terminal Block to LED Light Control

I read that at times the LEDs can flicker when connected to the PEEK fan power so I thought it might work better running on it's own circuit. The Gcode for turning the light on and off is great. I setup two Macro Buttons so it only takes a click to turn them on and off. Not quite the 'automatic ...

RAMBo Fan 1 Terminal Block to LED Light Control

I just built my Rostock last week and have been truly impressed with the printer and with the amazing build manual!! During the build I noticed the Fan 1 connector on the Terminal Block was not being used. I ran an extra 26ga wire through the Y axis tower, hooked it up to the Fan 1 connector and had ...

Re: 2nd Edition work in progress...[Updated 02Nov14]

I am about to pull the trigger on one of these rigs and am very excited about it. One thing that it looks like I will need to order that does not look to be include is some ABS filament. I could not find it in chapter 1 or 2. It might be silly but I would be sad to get to the point of starting my ...
