Re: Octoprint/LCD

I like the others love Octoprint! I have it setup to control a relay so the printer will shut off after a print. I will be posting pics in a few days of my modifications I've done lately with the relay. Here is a pic of my modified power supply that now houses the relay.

Mounting M2?

Question- is it more helpful to quality of print and life of machine if it were on a Rock solid surface and or mounted to one? Or, would it be better for it to be on some heavy duty springs that give a little? I know that for some large equipment it will be mounted on springs or else it will have pa...

Re: Dual extruder pin valves

I did order the E3Dv6, and a few nozzle sizes, I've got some Taulman filament coming, (bridge and T-glase) and will be wanting to get some of their Tritan filament. Also ordered the MG v4 PTFE, I will...

Re: Saving Gcode to SD

also note how you name the file on the SD card and the extension. The last full paragraph from this page ( http://www.simplify3d.com/support/hardware-setup-guides/makergear/) states "The MakerGear M2 is also equipped with an SD card reader and we would strongly suggest copying your large G-Code file...

First 3D Print made in space

Thought you all would like this!
Now the question is- what is that build plate made from and does it work on earth? Interesting design with the springs on it so they can slide it in.
