Printing Gcode with Repetier

Hey, so I have been printing with my Makergear for awhile now and printing objects that I have designed on Solidworks. Now I have been working with writing my own gcodes and I know they are correct because at my university the head of our printing lab has helped with the editing and checked and ever...

Re: Upgraded Power supply issues

Okay, this printer was given to me and used to be a display where anyone can print so I guess whoever had it added those. I wasn't sure if they were necessary or not. Thank you.

Re: Upgraded Power supply issues

The problem comes from those silver L brackets. They hit the bed no matter how much I adjust the Z stop. The v3b nozzle I had on there had a longer neck than this one which is why I am thinking its missing something. Or can I remove those silver brackets from the printer altogether or what? Thanks

Printing Issues

So I'm having 2 issues here. I've printed smaller things before and everything works, however this time I'm printing a bigger item and I am running into a few issues. The first is that when I load the filament and do a few mm of test it comes out jagged like, I'm not sure if this is because I'm doin...

New to Makergear

So I'm a student doing research for my university, I started out on a MakerBot, which was terrible, and then a Makergear M2 was donated to me to use.
