Pegasus 8" 3D Printer

[OneEarWillie]

I know two Makerfarm i3v owners and they were very happy with their machines and the company.

The Pegasus is a very weird mix of wood and metal. I guess it shouldn't be surprising given how much of a holdout Makerfarm was with their wooden i3.

With no visible gussets or other corner joining parts, I wonder how well this holds squareness when it's moved or bumped. It would be even more critical for the assembler to tighten the frame fasteners and treat the frame gently.

Given the SRP and sale prices, I wonder if the Duplicator i3 really did a number on Makerfarm sales. The price point similarity could just be a coincidence though.

I've been VERY impressed with how sturdy it is.

I just finished my first spool of filament... and so far it seems rock solid.

sounds like a gcode mixup.

there is a line of gcode that tells the extruder to heat up and another one that tells it to maintain the temperature.

Never used pronterface - have you tried something like cura to see if it maintains heat with a different slicer ?

I updated the post above... to explain the problem. But is was a newbie mistake - I had allowed my thermistor wires to come in contact with the edge hotend heat-sink hole (the insulation slid back while installing). As soon as I fixed it... everything started working BEAUTIFULLY!! I'm loving this Printer!
