I've had great luck with my Makerfarm i3v kit. I hate it when people say this to me... but it applies here so.. here goes.. "If your price range we a little higher <insert compelling arguments...

I have a separate relay for my heatbed which is wired into D8. D9 and D10 are wired to two separate e3d V6 hot ends. Each Hotend draws 40W/12V=3.3A of current. Considering that D9 & D10 (and...

While watching your video again I do notice your travel speed seems insanely high. This could be an artifact of seeing it at 30fps instead of in real life. What slicer are you using? What firmware...

It is possible that the Y axis could be losing steps somehow?

1. What speed are you printing at? Is it too fast? Try dialing your speed back to something like 30mm/s.
2. Are the steppers getting...

At the moment I only print with PLA as it is the only material known to be safe without venting. I want to expand to other materials and I've considered the following plan. Build an enclosure for the...

It was a bug. It is fixed in the Marlin RCBugFix branch (as of at least yesterday) on Github. Things are working fine now that I've upgraded.

Here are the relevant config values.

#define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 52 // X offset: -left [of the nozzle] +right
#define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 6 // Y offset: -front [of the...

That would explain problem #1. I double checked my offsets and they look sane:
#define EXTRUDER_OFFSET_X {0.0, 27.00} // (in mm) for each extruder, offset of the hotend on the X axis
#define...

I set up an Itty Bitty Double Flex extruder today. The first hot end works just fine. When ever I try to print with the second hot end things are very screwy.

Problem #1:
I'm using ABL (G28...

My parts kit arrives tonight :) I am planning on staying with Marlin 1.1.0 RC5. Does anyone happen to have a config I can start with? I tried diffing mine with the default config that Clough42...

Cool idea. I use Octoprint connected to a webcam to monitor my prints from around the house. But I don't yet have a way to remote power on/off. I may just pick one of those outlets up :) Thanks for...

Looks like a nice build. I look forward to seeing the completed project. :)

I'm fairly certain they will ship Printbite anywhere.

I'm interested in trying it too. But I want to get a nice sheet of Borosillicate Glass first. I don't want...

Yes, I see that :) Printbus is very knowledgeable on the subject of 3d printing. He has helped me with many problems. I do not mean to contradict his advice at all. I'm just trying to point out my...

awanegenebayo,

I have struggled with this EXACT problem for a year. What causes this, as far as I can tell, is very aggressive overhangs. It happens to me on every overhang where a significant...

You might want to play with SLic3r's settings a bit before you make your decision. I started with Slic3r and used it for almost 10 months exclusively. I know it can do far better than what your...

Here is a link to the couplers I bought. I put them on right form the start as I could not stand the thought of using the tubing. I would not go back :) They have worked fine for a year. Let us know...

To flash the firmware, you'll need to do the following:
1. Install the Arduino software which allows you to compile/upload firmware to your controller board. http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
2....

Printbus,

As always... you are a genius good sir! :) My problem with the corners AND the "sharp turn" blobbing was indeed over extrusion. I had the revelation that I never recalibrated after...

I'm getting ready to upgrade my Makerfarm i3v 12" to dual extrusion. I'm trying to decide if I want to spend $55 for another Hex hot end, or 2*$80 for two E3d v6 hotends. I've Googled and read a...

Clough,

awesome! Thank you very much. I'll likely be ordering a hardware kit, motors, light springs, etc etc from you soon :)

If I use a Hex and an E3d v6 In the Dual Flex extruder, is there a way to shim the e3d to match the height of the Hex? I assume I need them both to be at the exact same height relative to the bed.

Clough42,

I'm thinking of buying & building a Flex v2. I currently have a Hex hot end I got with my i3v. If I buy an e3d v6, can I use that and my existing Hex hotend on the Flex without any...

Just thought of another solution. Perhaps just use two smaller continuous loop belts with a "double" gear in between that both belts mount on to. This does increase cost and part count put allows...

This guy sews belts together. Not sure if you want to try this method... but it is an idea :)
