Bits from Bytes reprap working
Monday, September 14, 2009 at 07:07AM For the past 6 months, I've been trying to get my bits fromy bytes reprap to properly print. I thought I was close to this when I blew my electronics about 4 months ago. Since then I've been trying to get electronics to work and to alter the software to get printing at any level of normalicy.
Today I tried tightening two screws on my extruder by a single full turn.
My reprap now works absolutely fantastically and great, still trying to get the sceinforge settings perfect (it turns out my last months of altering them was wasted time. The first part (a shot glass) I tried after the print worked perfectly well.
So today we learnt exactly why bits from bytes discontinued the version 2 extruder. Because tightening two screws to be about 1 mm tighter can cost you 6 months of wasted experimentation.
