Doing a near-total rebuild of my V1 Wanhao I3, not sure how to align my x-axis proper
So, I had taken my V1 Wanhao I3 nearly completely apart to do some upgrades/replacements. One of the parts I replaced was the X-axis rods and bearings/blocks.
After re-assembly however, I...
Advice on where to get quality rods/shafts for my printer?
I am from the US.
I wanted to replace the smooth rods my printer came with as it was a fairly cheap model and I am worried all of my assembly/disassembly from tweaking and upgrading it could...
Wanhao I3 - Threaded Rods Vs Smooth Rods Lubrication
Ok, so I know to use Super Lube for all the smooth rods in my Wanhao i3, but I am not sure what to do for the threaded rods. I noticed that the threaded rods already have some grease pooled up on the...
Re-Aligning the X/Z axis after replacing bearings in my Wanhao i3?
I have an older near-Version 1 model Wanhao i3.
I had a hell of a time attempting to reach the set-screws to remove the x-axis rods so I could replace the bearings on my printer. I was...
UPDATE: I got a reply back from the person I bought the Heater Cartridge from, they said that the wire is 28 AWG.
That's a LOT smaller than I was expecting, any suggestions what kind of crimps or...
I have a very old model Wanhao i3 (Just barely not Version 1.0... closer to a Version 1.01 or so, definitely not V2 or later) which I have been doing several modifications to (a few of which were...
X-Rods not glued? Possible defect?
I needed to replace several parts of my printer, including the fan, so I was reading the Fan Replacement guide here:

And the very first line...
Yeah, the X-Axis is the main reason I want to change it, but I also have some ringing issues and figured switching from a 3 to 2 pillow block configuration would help, I just can't decide on which...
Wanhao I3 V1 - Trying to figure out what improved bearings to get and where
I have a Wanhao i3, it's a V1 model... or close to it. I know that it's not a Version 2, but it seems to be a slightly revised version of the Model 1. It came in two pieces instead of one, and...
Wanhao I3-Replacing plastic parts with metal, and questions about a Bearing Block mod
I have been wanting to replace what plastic parts I could with metal ones for my Wanhao i3, and was surprised to find quite a few options exist already, although I had some questions about a few of...
Nothing sticks.... to PEI!
I have a Wanhao Duplicator I3, spent months performing modifications and improvements to it, one of the big ones being putting glass and PEI on the build plate. Everyone went on and on about how PEI...
What do you have on your bed?
You sure it's an extra fan? Because a lot of those are just putting a better designed vent on the existing fan, OR replacing the existing fan with another, not adding an additional fan.
What extra fan are you talking about exactly? I know some people added a fan to the control box... but that was put into the production versions long ago, and lots of people have modified the nozzle...
Yeah, I wish I had known that they were not an official branch before I ordered.
Wanhao themselves make good printers, but they don't have any official branch anywhere outside of China....
Oh, you mean you just changed the settings, not reflash the firmware itself.
What firmware did you use? I recall in the Google Groups someone compiled a version of the firmware without a beeping since some found it annoying, but stated you needed a programmer to flash it.
...
Wait, how were you able to flash it over USB? It doesn't have a bootloader, you would need an AVR programmer.
Wouldn't that shrink your printable area a bit though?
It enables software reset, with it removed it can't reset through software commands.
Not my words:
Try removing the reset jumper, that is one of the known bugs when using a SD card with the printer
I love that idea, could you please keep us up to date on when you do it? I have been attempting to perform some improvements on mine.
As I recall, it originally didn't have those, but they...
Most of the discussion about this printer (including a fix about a recently discovered shorting (possible fire?)-hazard) is happening at the Google Groups forum, so if you want some of the latest...
I don't care about removing the glass anyway, pieces of pads would cause uneven heating.
Problem is I can't find them in the right size.
The glass I am putting on my bed is 200x250mm, so I was looking for pads at least that big or bigger. Most of them are in the 100x100 range... or...
