Quite a few updates since my last post. I got it all working with off the shelf parts, but was not satisfied with the quality of prints that i was...
This is my first attempt at a 3d printer and with not owning one already I am limited to off the shelf parts and whatever I can fab with a...
Sorry it has been so long since updating. Have been working a ton and had some downtime due to broken parts. Got it working again today. Adam the...
Thanks for everything Keith. I just bought a load of wire so i can ditch most of the 16ga that i used from the home store, it is a little large...
Thanks keith, that was my next question if the config file only used whole numbers, or if decimals worked. That cube was with .3 layer heights....
