Prusa i3 recently built. I'd had decent success with a print or two ( but somethings just look terrible. In particular, higher layers just look blobbed and very rough. You can compare this to a...

I was able to perform my first dry run tonight. I'm not sure how much one is suppose to be able to detect movement by touching the frame while the machine is printing, but it seems to me like adding...

Thanks. I dialed back almost all of the feedrate and acceleration parameters. It works just fine now. I was able to perform a dry run (still no extruder) and it prints just fine. I think it took...

I just finished (all but my extruder) building my prusa i3. Everything is running well except for z axis homing. It sounds terribly noisy. The odd thing is though, if I send say a G1 Z50 code from...

Thanks for the correction on the rod pitch. Excellent point on the x & y resolution.

As I read it, the printer is now even out yet. I've been looking into 3d printing all of a week now and don't even have a machine set up yet, but the impression I've gotten is that there are so many...

Thanks again for the replies.

In respect to the setup:
Are there any pitfalls to setting layer height somewhere around the capability of the machine? I'm assuming that this will create a...

Instead of going all out and doing a custom build, I'm going to see what I can learn putting together a Prusa i3. I am wavering between buying a kit and piecing all the items together for the full...

Thank you all for the replies. I looked at some videos on tweaking the firmware and it looks pretty straightforward. Tweaks seem to involve just changing some parameters. I was worried about having...

Hello everyone. I am looking to get into 3d printing for the purpose of generating some rough prototypes for some product ideas I'm rolling around.

1) Is there any reason why I should not buy...
