Re: RAMBo SD Fan1 issue

Are you using repetier? If so, there is an EXT0 option that let's you specify a pin to be turned on when the extruder is turned on. I'm not sure if it's accessible through eprom settings.

Re: [NEW! 23Oct13] Rostock MAX Assembly Manual

My 1.2 has the pluggable terminal block. I had bought it directly from UltiMachine with the intent of updating my H1-1 to 16X microstepping, but instead purchased a RostockMax kit and stuck it in there. My 1.1 Rambo that came with the RostockMax has the terminal strip. I assumed the on-board termin...

Re: [NEW! 23Oct13] Rostock MAX Assembly Manual

UltiMachine has confirmed removal of the jumper for the logic power select on Rambo 1.2. For those who did not get the correct documentation with their Rambo, the correct link is below.

Re: [NEW! 23Oct13] Rostock MAX Assembly Manual

It looks like Rambo 1.2 dropped the logic power jumper option. I'm assuming it's now pulling power only from the mains instead of the USB port. I've got a support request into UltiMachine to verify. Might be worth noting in the documentation. Also, an recommendations for a hot end connector somewher...

Re: Top and Table alignment

I ran into the same issue. I just shaved down the short edges of the tabs as needed. I would avoid touching the widths of the tabs (.25") if at all possible and leave those snug in that direction. I left the Tri-Supports alone, as they set tower locations and hold them perpendicular. I only adj...

Re: Vespula takes flight - Toyguy's Build Log

An option prior to paint is to seal the edges with a dewaxed shellac. It won't swell the MDF and helps keep the moisture out. The quick way to apply it is to immerse the whole part and quickly wipe it off the melamine. Old cotton rags work best. This completely saturates the edges quickly. Any remai...

Re: I just turned my H-1 into a $2k machine!

How about using a dryer vent to control the air flow direction? It would help keep the cold out and I would think a little bit of static pressure would help stabilize and slow the air flow.

Re: Steve's extruder mod/upgrade

It's aluminum that I machined out of bar on the lathe down to a .38" diameter.

I think nylon spacers, hard wall copper tubing, hobby tubing, etc could be used as well.

Re: Onyx and round borosilicate plate

Great suggestion adding the .062 aluminum plate.

Has the plate done anything to limit the maximum obtainable temperature or only better distributes it? I'm struggling a bit to reach temp with my H1.

Thanks,

Steve's extruder mod/upgrade

My Steve's extruder had been running along happily for awhile until I notice the dreaded extruder squeak other members have encountered. After a close look, it was apparent that the side walls near the thru bolt had collapsed inward and there was no tension on the bolt itself. This pitched the gear ...

Re: Build plate for Onyx HPB

I tried the Monokote on glass a couple of days with even better results then the polycarbonate. I ran the bed at 90C and got good adhesion, but still easy enough to remove easily with damage to the part or Monokote with a putty knife. It gives the bottom of the printed part a very nice glossy surfac...

Re: Z Axis movement / home issues

I switched over to a stock Marlin firmware and problem solved.

Not sure what the issue with Repetier is. I also noticed that temperature control / PID is more better in that it does not overshoot and it is much steadier.

Re: Phebe I Power Wiring

I switch to stock Marlin firmware this morning and everything works out of the box with Rambo.

It polls the heated bed temperature from the correct input and turns on the correct heated bed output.

I agree the probability of a blown fuse is high if using the 2nd extruder output. I was using the firmware from https://github.com/johnoly99/Repetier-for-rambo .

Re: Phebe I Power Wiring

Splooshy,

Have you found the solution? I am running into the exact same issue. The output and temp sensor connections that Repetier host turns on is for the 2nd extruder instead of the heated bed connections.

Thanks,
Craig
