MakerFarm 8" i3v build

[DrLuigi]

Well I have finished up the build and have printed the cube for testing. I am now printing the emergency replacement parts in case they break. I have been able to tune the steppers so that I hear the same type of noise that Collin has in the background of his videos. For noise suppression I put an 3/4" piece of white oak under it. That reduced the noise a lot.

Again I think I got a great deal and a very usable machine for my investment.

I have documented my build on the OpenBuilds forum.

I would realy use a multimeter, The pot meter is quiet precise, a minimal twist is quiet huge,
0.2v can differ from Skipping or your motors running fine.

After that well done ^^

I started with a meter to get close then I ran each operation on X, Y, Z and extruder and adjusted for minimum current able to move the stepper. The results are the sounds of music just like Collin has in the background of his videos.

Because I'm such a miser, I put some thin cork sheet under my heated bed, and stole some aluminium foil from the kitchen to put between the heated bed and glass. Seems to work OK.
