Every power supply must have some kind of fuse for protection. Whether its internal or external. If you open it up I'm sure you could find a fuse. Open the power supply and send a picture here on the...

@Roxy

Thank you. I did what you said and it's all sorted. My proxy wasn't set correctly.

I took the heated bed off to fix the thermistor. When I put everything back I did level the bed but I didn't go to extreme lengths though because i have an inductive proximity sensor for auto bed...

My First Layer Height is 0.3mm on that print and First Layer Extrusion Width is 120%. I will try change them on my next print. Maybe 0.2mm and 100%???

Hi there,

I have a Prusa i3 running Marlin firmware, RepetierHost and CureEngine. I'm having troubles with the "Brim" settings. See the pics below. It hasn't always been like that. Any idea what...

Is this happening on all of your prints? Was this vase printed with the "Spiralize Contour" option?

That sound sounds like the stepper motors are actually making those fine movements which is...

I have my ABS stored in vacuum sealed bags with silica beads in the bags and kept out of the sun. Trying to keep as much moisture out of them as possible.

I understand what you are saying, but the Manufacture Date is 29/9/2015 and Best Before is 30/01/2016. That's only like 3 months. I was hoping it would last longer so I can buy rolls and keep them,...

Hi guys,

I have a few rolls of SKARtech ABS 1.75mm and on the label there is a "manufactured" date and a "best before" date. What happens after that date when printing with expired prints?

My prints are sticking, just wanted to know if anyone has sand blasted a alu heated bed to roughen it up helping prints stick

Anyone on the forum using one of these? I have one on my Prusa i3 and it's working great, greats up to +/- 110'C for ABS prints no problem.

My question is how do you guys get your prints to...

@Nickschaos81

What area do you live in?

OK, so I havent had internet for the longest time due to lightning storm. In that time I've spent alot more time on the printer. Got all the parts and its up and running. See the pics below. I've...

Did increasing the temperature fix your problem? I seem to be having the exact same problem!

I thought maybe your z couplers were slipping

How are you z rods coupled to the motor shaft?

Does the carriage move freely if you push it by hand?

Oh ok it's making alot more sense now. Thanks :D

So basically you make the PSU think there is a load connected to the 5v rails?

What do you mean by load resistors?

Hi there guys,

I'm looking for a power supply for my Prusa i3 that I'm building. Is it possible to use a PSU from a desktop computer? If so, how many watts do you need?

Thanks

Thanks man! :D The next step is to get all the electronics sorted. Then extruder, hot end and heated bed. Once I have all that I can start calibrating.

Only problem is I live in South Africa and...

Here is a quick video of my Y-axis moving. I haven't got RAMP 1.4 yet so I connected the NEMA 17 to my CNC engraver which runs from an Arduino UNO and CNC Shield. Just a some Gcode file I wrote to...

Maybe try run your printer as if it was printing, but without any filament. Set it at a faster speed and try to see if your motors are slipping or skipping steps. Then maybe you can try figure out...

Finally got to do some more work on my printer. The Y axis is complete. Just need to finish up the belts on the X axis and the threaded rod and mounts for the Z axis. Will hopefully get all the...
