Printer is up and running, but wiring is quite messy still haha. 2084

So I built my Kossel Mini to 760/360 extrusions. Inadvertently, I am using the Tridprinting 12" strong wall rod and traxxas rod kit for a diagonl rod length of (340mm). Using Jay's visual calc, it...

I finally got it printing after some extruder problems! Will post pictures soon, will have to recalibrate my printer for sure.

Man oh man is calibration rough and tedious. On to Extruder calibration!

Figured out the wiring of the switch and tightened up the belts enough, I am current working on getting the glass bed situated. I do have a heat bed, but I think ill just play around with plain glass...

Yeah I was able to get it to work by turning the minimum extrusion temp as well as the minimal defect temp below -10 degrees. I didn't have my hot end thermistor plugged in so the defect temp showed...

So I plugged the extruder into one of the XYZ motors wiring it up and it worked fine. I just can't get it to extrude without attempting to warm up the hotend in repetier host.

Actually I figured it out, I had autoprobe in the firmware on, but had no endstop in the autoprobe pins, so when I checked M119, it showed Z_min as always high and thus Z would never decrease in...

Finally soldered 3 motors and temporarily set up an atx power supply to run with it. However, I am running into issues. When I decrease the Z-axis control on Repetier, the Z-motor does not rotate,...

Finally got my NEMA 17 motors. Will be finishing up assembly in the coming days.

Any idea on how to attach it to the extrusions? I am thinking about just using M3 screws, but I hear MDF doesn't take well to screws.

Any suggestions on how I should cover up the bare extrusions on my delta? I want it to have a clean-sleek look. MDF? Metal Panels? thanks.

I got a tap drill from home depot : Tap Drill and finally assembled the diagonal rods which took up significants amount of time because I was afraid they would split, one did, but just barely....

This is good to hear as I can find a Micro-ATX psu or a mini-itx psu to control my octopi and still fit it within the bed. Is 16A okay for RAMPS and a heated bed?

Im using ramps with a mk2A heated bed. Do you have any other recommendations?

Hey guys, starting my build log for my Kossel Mini. 750mm tall with 360 mm horizontal extrusions.

What I do need left are:

8x8 glass for my heated bed or 9" round
Wheels
Power supply
