Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I use a cheap 2a power supply to power up my lightning. They cost like u$3.
Add a switch and you are done.

Hi, current set up goes like this (from Top to Bottom): 0.03" PEI sheet Boro Glass 3mm Aluminum Heat Spreader Onyx Edit: Thanks Michael, I've heard nothing but good things about the Duet. It's on my wish list. But for now, I'm going to wait to see (is that grammatically right?XD) what people th...

Ok, good to know the temperature issue was just a 3D printer myth. I read it somewhere and got stuck inside my brain. I don't mind making a custom adapter, but removing the adhesive from the PEI to paint it seems like a lot of work. I'm between crossroads. Get the Duet + FSR/probe/something that aut...

FSR + heated bed? I mostly print ABS and if I recall FSR don't like high temperatures.
and what about an IR height sensor? better? worst? does it play nice with PEI?

Neat! those fan ducts look great.
Thanks for sharing.

One tip, for complex models print from the SD card.

I just increased the voltage of the PSU to 14vDC and measured the bed mosfet of the Rambo. Be warned, it does get hot. While heating (from 0º to 60º) it got to 54ºc Now that it's just regulating, it went down to 35ºc All other mosfets (hotend, fans, etc) 23ºc I guess that when printing ABS, with a b...

You are correct Eric, the best thing is not to pull more than 80% of their maximum power. Either way, yes. I also think a 30a psu can handle the load at 14,5v. If anyone is interested, regarding this: the output voltage is set to 13v. The maximum amperage will decrease to 27.7? or it will remain of ...

Actually, I did have the bed with a SSR+24v setup combo, but my fotek failed recently (worked fine for almost 2 years). An Auber one is on it's way, but in the meantime I was considering bumping up the voltage of the 12v psu. It's taking forever for the bed to heat now :/ Thanks for the heads up guy...

I was scared of turning the screw down too much and break the power supply. But still did it and found out that the max output voltage is 14.98vDC and the minimum 10,48vDC. Now I wonder what are the drawbacks of powering the whole printer with 14,5vDC... The bed would appreciate the higher voltage. ...

Sorry, I didn't know where to start this thread. I have a 12v 30a PSU and was wondering up to how much I can (safely) increase its voltage output. 13v? 14v? more? One more thing, if lets say, the output voltage is set to 13v. The maximum amperage will decrease to 27.7? or it will remain of 30a? The ...

I'm hitting F5 to help a bit.

Nice add-on Brian, they do look great.
Just out of curiosity, will they come in other colors?

You need to extract all of the files from the .zip file and then point to them in the arduino IDE. It looks like you're trying to run against the .zip file itself. C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp1_Firmware-master.zip\Firmware-master\Repetier Firmware\Repetier\Repetier.ino:143:22: fatal error: Repe...

Some time ago I tried uploading the firmware with the latest release of ArduinoIDE and it didn't work. I've been using release 1.0.5-R2 ever since and never had an issue: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwareReleases#1.0.x Also, from where did you download the firmware? Post the link. (use this...

Thanks, it might seem silly but those quick tips gave me the push to start reading Duet's wiki page, which is a bit overwhelming at first. I've Wantai motors (42BYGHW811P1), with a rated current of 2.5a and it looks like the DuetWifi production board can handle 2.5a. Can I do the upgrade using this ...

Hi Michael, good to hear the update is working great.
I'm very tempted to buy a Duet board myself, but I couldn't find a step by step guide (foolproof style) for us Rostock Max users.

Under Configuration.h check for this input: #define MOTOR_CURRENT {175,175,175,135,0} // Values 0-255 (RAMBO 135 = ~0.75A, 185 = ~1A) The array of settings is {X,Y,Z,E0,E1} So for the extruder you must change the E0 number. Note tha I have the old Wantai motors and a planetary geared for the extrude...

The wiring goes like this: 1 12ga Black Wire - X tower 1 12ga Black Wire - Y Tower 2 26ga White Wires - Y Tower (thermistor wires from Onyx) 1 12ga Red Wire - Z Tower The 12ga black wire from the onyx goes into the power connector for the heated bed. The other 12ga black & red wires go into the...

Hi Gene, you said that the black wire goes to the Rambo and the red one to the PSU unit. Like this then? It might seem silly but I need to double check [img]https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8540/29015566073_d261e2c9e7_o.jpg[/img] and what about the 6 wires that goes from the PSU to the Rambo? Should we...

K, how you know?
Thanks for the pic btw

One qustion, this is for tightening the belts? Pretty clever if so.

Yeap, loving the manual.
One thing I didn't notice before. Some steps have links to gene building it.

Perhaps a new kind of mind control... that only the most intelligent can hear. :D sound like this? mine does it with the aluminium heat spreader on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akPs1OdA2vo Hi KAS, less robotic, but yes, very similar. Here, downloaded Audacity and removed some environment noise....

Hi and welcome! Feel free to ask anything.
