Re: Need help with Curtis's Firmware that supports VIKI

none of the wires are twisted, I simply installed them as the looms came... never an issue over the past 8 months or so. But I did just try twisting the ends that aren't sheathed, tried moving them away from other wires and making sure the power cable wasn't near them, didn't appear to make any diff...

Re: Need help with Curtis's Firmware that supports VIKI

well it was working perfectly until I installed my 24v power supply and updated the firmware lol. I appear to have continuity. I can't figure it out :( I tried installing Makergear's own 24v firmware and it is doing the same thing whether I have the pins in the stock configuration or the modified po...

Re: Need help with Curtis's Firmware that supports VIKI

I am having the exact same problem It beeps (didn't even know the LCD could beep!) and switches back and forth between the two screens. I pulled the black from pin 20 as described above and no change... I have double checked the points raised above and still no dice. I'd I twiddle the jog wheel arou...

Re: S3D Strange Slicing

I'm using slic3r more and more... Not least because I find the way they do profiles much more intuitive than s3d. Slic3r also seems much more intelligent when it comes to bridging and anchors much better... Honeycomb is also the best infill pattern IMO and overall I'm getting better end results from...

Re: S3D Strange Slicing

also regarding filament holes, it's always best to skim down them with an appropriately sized drill bit I'm my experience. 3D printers aren't great at perfectly size and smooth small holes or tubes, so often benefit from a little "post processing". for what it's worth I've had similar extremely anno...

Re: m2 electronics box

Really nice job - I especially like the locking bar at the back. If you ever feel yourself lacking for things to do, I would love to see a modified version for the Vikki LCD like this http://www.thingiverse.com/make:45521 I know obviously that's a case that's already done like that, but your box is ...

Re: very interesting new slicer

Very cool idea, and definitely worth playing with. The support material could no doubt easily be replaced with dissolvable support material and achieve the same end result. I would worry about the poor little Z axis motor on the m2 though - it gets very hot as it is, seems like this sort of path wou...
