Blender is like the fastest car in the world built with the cockpit upside down. It may be the fastest car in the world, but that doesn't mean you'd want to drive it. Well, I'd say you do want to drive it and it's mirror-inverted rather than upside-down :D - so one gets used to it and it broadens o...

Can I ask what software you used to design those parts? Sure, the parts are modifications of the original MakerGear files from their git repository: https://github.com/MakerGear/M2/tree/master/Printed%20Parts/STL So, I don't know what software was used for designing them but I've done my modificati...

The same has happened to me when feeding PolyFlex into the V4 filament drive. My guess is also that it is a matter of speed. I wonder how it could happen to you during printing though? Did the filament break first or was it a sling of filament which was sucked into the gear?

I don't regret switching to the octoprint setup. As the raspi is connected to the printer by USB, printing is not affected by a loss of network connection. I like that I can use my smartphone or tablet to control the M2 now (there is no app though - just using the default browser). As my desktop PC ...

at least the single v4 upgrade is currently available for pre-order here:

shipping is estimated for January

Thanks Tim, I uploaded the correct file.

Thanks, here is the motor shroud with the second cable clamp (even a bit less megabyte than I thought): motorShroud1-Motor_Shroud.zip Here are also the modified versions for the filament drives with the tube holders. They are intended to provide support for very soft filament like polyflex. I use tu...

Hi Rick,

unfortunately not. The zipped version needs about 3.5m.

Very nice about the V4 is that the hot-end can be released quite easily. However, as the wiring is supposed to run between the filament drives and the extruder motors, a hot-end swap would require taking the filament drives off. For avoiding that I let my wires for the right heater, temp sensor, and...

Is it OK for any of the V4 guys to post pictures of their hot ends or is the design still proprietary? I still have a V3A on mine and am looking into the 24V upgrade. Not sure if I just get the V3B or go with the V4. Since I primarily print PLA, maybe stick with the V3B and wait for the V4 teflon? ...
