Haha my 12x12 pulls ~700W! I run it over AC power through an SSR though. Trying to turn 120VAC into 12VDC to run a heater at 20+ amps is just...
I have a SmoothieX5 on my C-Bot and if I were to do it again, I would have just gone with a RAMPS and Marlin. Smoothie is just overkill for a...
I think the difference is that they have the cute little LED and are easily mounted. I use the Hall Effect sensors for my endstops which are much...
I bought both the regular E3Dv6 and Volcano ends, along with like 6 nozzle sizes, with the notion that I'd swap them around based on what I was...
I also had some binding problems at first with my leadscrews. Turning the brass nuts all the way down and then back up a few times seems to have...
Oh snap! That was my first idea, some sort of cover that would move with the print head but I never thought of accordion shades! I just thought...
My i3 heats up to about 50C as measured ~50mm off the bed, or 47-48C on a DS1820 temperature sensor I have near the RAMPS board. I actually have...
I have some large, flat pieces (110mm x 160mm) that turn into walls that have been a bit challenging to print on my C-Bot in ABS. The pieces...
Yeah I can't try that though as my PEI surface is permanently attached to the heat bed. The heater + aluminum + pei + adhesive is over $150 in...
I gave up on using the differential IR with my PEI -> 3M 468 -> MIC-6 Aluminium bed combination. Without a doubt the IR penetrates the PEI and...
Wow you guys have been posting a lot! I haven't been around much the past two weeks but I just wanted to check in and say that the V2 direct...
Yeah I had seen that and it certainly looks neat, but I don't want always-on cooling. I only use the fan for cooling layers with short layer times...
Yeah that PTFE from McMaster is 3mm/5mm and the regular "3mm filament" stuff is 4mm/6mm with 6mm/1/8" fittings so it won't push into the regular...
After loading the filament a couple of times now, I think the V1 is slightly too far to the right so this is a good move. I can see it definitely...
I think the motor is great where it is, but I can definitely see that AK Eric's has a bit of a bend around the drive gear. Mine does not have that...
Yeah the motor fit perfectly in the slot and it appears to rest on it. I don't think it could fit my stepper any more snugly. Carl I completely...
I made one too! [IMG] It is comical to me how little retraction I need now. Was 7.5mm 65mm/s, now 1.0mm 60mm/s. I had no issue with the size of...
Yeah they make it so when you retract the coupling doesn't suck up into itself on the motor's side or push in on the extruder side on recover. I...
I have a E3D Volcano as well I run with the 0.6mm nozzle and 0.24mm layer height at 60mm/s. My retraction settings are like this on my 300x300...
This is great! It looks like it definitely can be done for under $500. I think I spent a little over $1000 on my 12x12x12 build but I bought...
