Msmnick, check out this thread, some of the same questions about upgrades have been posted and answered . http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?10313-Printer-Ordered.

Where in MN are you? I...

With having a newer printer, with the motors that don't get hot, are the Kysan motors something to consider later on?

Thanks Kevin, I will send that to him. Great idea. I just sent him pictures of my spool holder, as I asked him about it since the spool won't rotate without me manually rotating it.

I will have to to print this one out once I am printing, thanks AbuMaia!

On another note, since I hot my heat bed heating issues fixed (see the heatbed heating thread), I attempted to print the...

Printbus, you have it correct the spool is too wide for the spool holder. I will have to figure out how I can do this. My current location gives me no where to put the spool. I will have to...

I should have clarified, that it seems to be rubbing on the sides at the bottom of the spool, because mine seems to be narrower at the bottom than the top, and there really isn't a way that I could...

Another question I have is it seems like the spool holder rubs on the makerfarm filament roll, enough that I am pretty sure it isn't going to turn by being pulled from the extruder. Thoughts?

What I found out is that the wire I used from the PS to the relay is not the right gage. It was way hot, so I shut it down. I will make a run to Lowes tonight to get some 12gage wire. It was after...

how long should it take the bed to get up to 110 temp using the relay, seems really slow. so far 27 minutes to heat the hotend and then get the bed to 78 degrees.

Thanks Printbus, I meant Mean Well. LOL

What about bed temp?

Somewhere I thought I had seen printbus say that the hot end should be tightened again while hot, but I can't find that. My i3v10 came with a shroud for the fan like that looks like the current E3d6...

My current status:
On a Lets try it and see note, I moved the z end stop to the side of the extrusion, and then tilted it forward to make sure that the endstop switch would hit the frame of the x...

Trying to remember all your changes, did you print those thumb wheels out?

Hi Printbus, I totally forgot about your comment about needing the ball driver, I will pick one of those up tonight. do you think having 4 springs is better than 3 and a spacer? As to the end...

So I found out that my z axis is ok, it was just stuck. I need to get some oil. 2 questions.
1. How do I adjust the z end stop far enough down with the couplers being in the way. It looks like...

Thanks Printbus and Gmay3. I will leave it as it is for now until it annoys me. I am pretty much planning on only doing ABS, so sounds like it should be fine.

I just need to figure out what is...

So I didn't buy enough wire to power everything up, but I had enough for the 11v and the 5v, and will need to get more for the heatbed. I hooked up my laptop and fired up pronterface and it seems...

I have not gotten to test it yet. I used the couplers I have and cranked them down as hard as I could. I got all the wiring done except for the power cord, which I picked up yesterday. I ended up...

So I cranked down on the set screws as hard as possible. Will see how that works. Started running the wires to mount the ramps, and see that Colin made some changes to the frame design for the...

I will try that, than plain foil, and if that doesn't work, will get some of the foil tape. Anyone have a link to the 5mm couplers with set screws?

Looking for advice. I bought 5mm couplers like you did printbus, and on their own they don't seem to be holding. I don't have the setup to tap them for set screws, and it looks like a tap and die...

I haven't seen that post, so I will go check it out thanks printbus and gmay3 also!

I probably should have noticed that in the video. :) That would mean I would have to trim the cork, as there is no room to get the clip in there as the cork goes all the way to the edge of the heat...

Thanks Printbus, I will check out ebay.

On another note, I went and got cork shelf liner tiles, got some glass from Lowes for like $2.35 cut, I scored and snapped the corners off, not pretty but...

Hi, yeah the two bolts that have the springs for the extruder. I thought I had measured them but will take a look again. I will check both Ace and Lowe's, however I am in a small town so not...
