I have been working on doing just that. So far I have moved the huge mass of the two extruder steppers off to the chassis. Working quite well but now need to retune things, which is where my lack of...

14) You drink beer from your own printed "glass" - well, clear plastic perhaps!
Amused reading the comments above, as was born in WA and live in the UK, have two passports. Can choose which side...
I have just modified my printer to a Bowden cable setup. In the process I have seen that just the extruder (now completely separate from the hotend) makes it hard to load filament. The secret is to...
Came across this neat idea the other day for removing an impurity stuck in the nozzle: http://hydraraptor.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/pla-pipe-cleaner.html
Can you swap left for right and see if the problem remains with the extruder or with the driver and wiring?
You could add your own brim into the design for the slicing program to use as a base for supports. Simplified OpenSCAD example:
//generate support platform
difference(){cylinder(h=0.2,r=20);...
If you have never used one of those then do not underestimate what they can remove! Can be quite vicious and will take copper off of a PCB without too much effort. Was thinking they would be good for...
You may find something like one of the fibreglass pens works well for clean-up (http://uk.farnell.com/duratool/d02266/pen-pcb-cleaning-fibreglass-4mm/dp/2102028). Can be fitted with different...
Maybe between us we can come up with a solution - if time ever allows! A good read here: http://tinyurl.com/prr48wy regarding extruder forces, seem to be in the 1 to 3Kg range.
I have one of the...
Useful "finds" John, thank you for sharing.
Regarding this parameter:
In my setup and your posted screenshot, the default value is 0.005 (not 0.05), so did you change yours to 0.05 or 0.5 to...
Ok, so this is the confusion. What do you mean by 3mm walls? If you mean the wall is 1.5mm then it would be 3mm total, but if the wall thickness is 3mm then the outside diameter must be the inside...
If wall sides are 3mm then 74 + 3 + 3=80mm (Assuming you mean the outside dia of the lid)
This thread is an interesting read but I get slight scraping from either extruder when the other is printing. This suggested a different cause than head and bed levelling. First thing I found was...
Hi All, a newbie here and to 3D printing. Had my FFCP for a week and a half now and generally quite impressed. Learnt the basics of OpenSCAD to design the parts I need and have used ReplicatorG for...
