Re: Call for sample prints

Jimc, I like yours (and it reminded me of one we made last year, image attached and .stl available if anyone wants it). I do like the idea of keychains... (I also have a bigfoot with a keyring hole through the back of his hair, which makes a nice keychain at 25% of standard bigfoot size).

Call for sample prints

Folks, as anyone who's purchased an M2 knows, we ship the printer with some sample gcode files on the SD card (a bigfoot bust, a bracelet, a twisted hexagon vase thing, and for a while a glider); those prints are getting a bit old, though, so I'm looking into getting together some new gcode to inclu...

Re: Reverse engineering tools and techniques

Jsc's method generally works best when you want precision, but honestly I generally just eyeball it and round to the nearest mm (/ half quarter etc. mm) or .001" (depending on what unit system the rest of the part uses - on the M2 we mix a bit, but generally use metric, so most of our holes are on h...

Re: Can't control 40 mm fans anymore

It sounds like the Fan1 MOSFET has been damaged from that short - if it doesn't respond to M108, it means that it's not being controlled by the Atmega µC at all. You may need to modify the firmware to use the Heat1 output for the 40mm fans. If you send a picture of your RAMBo, I may be able to deter...

Re: Unstable filament drives and resulting groovemount damag

Helix, one thing that's definitely off with that hotend, is the gap between PEEK insulator and Alumin um heater block - it should be 2.5-3mm, not the <1mm shown in your picture. http://makergear.wikidot.com/m2-hotend-assembly has instructions for that - was that the one you replaced, or did you asse...
