Re: Anyone have a M2 For sale

Here's one on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/161832726529?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT probably Mark the Greater.

Re: Has anyone changed the fan in their power supply?

I changed all my fans, eerie silence now along with the stepper dampers that were recommended here. Here's the fan links from Amazon in case someone wants to use them: Power Supply fan (note that Noctua fan moves about 20% less air than the original if I recall correctly.

Re: PEI Bed Surface

I'm still loving it except for one thing. I'm finding I'm having to put a lot of my ABS prints in the freezer. I don't mind that since most pop right of after about 15 minutes. But quite a few of them are still hard to take off, hard enough that when they do pop it stresses the bottom layer and leav...

Re: 3-Axis Cable Chain Upgrade

FYI, the part numbers for the cable chain and ends I meant to have in the PDF are 4516T46 and 4556T33, which is the .9" wide version for a .5" max cable bundle. Being jdacal found the smaller chain (parts 4516T44 and 4556T31) also work I've added a note in the PDF about using those instead and corr...

Re: Oooops!

Thanks everybody, I reached the same conclusion earlier. I just restarted the print a little while ago. Can't use glue on this one as it's designed to hold an expensive piece of equipment and don't want to risk it coming unglued.

Oooops!

Last Sunday I set a rule for one of my Wemo modules to turn off the printer at 10:00 AM. Well guess what! I forgot to turn the rule off and this Sunday it turned it off in the middle of a print. I know you can pause a print and resume it, I've done that before. What would be the procedure for resumi...
