      Can anyone tell me where to get a new build surface for the R1+? I was using a GO-3D PRINT 250mm x 320mm Borosilicate Glass Plate/Bed w/Flat Polished Edge for 3D Printer but that is no longer available and my bed is chipped.

      Mark, I have had no response form Solidworks on my query.

      Perhaps you can describe how I can change the diameter/radius of an existing "extruded boss/base"?

      Mark, my printer stops printing after about 20 minutes. R1+ Matter Control Windows 8.1 from a lap top. After I walk away and return and wake the lap top, Matter Control page says in the top left corner printer not communicating. Any thoughts?

      Hi Mark,

      I was hoping to find some information about switching my thermistor to the Type K thermocouple. I can find a lot of information on the pt100 but nothing on the type K. Any info would be appreciated.

      Regarding your post in bed-heater-installing-ssr-pid-control-instructions, "I would expect a MOSFET... to work at least as good as an SSR.", just throwing it out there that if you pulled the lid off those SSRs you're buying there's likely a MOSFET or TRIAC inside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay#Operation (Would have just posted but Waldo's a little cranky lately on resurrecting old threads.)

      Hi,
      I have 2 robos R1 and I keep on having issues here and there. On one Robo the X axis, when it glides to the left its pretty smooth but for one point on the rods. I think this is the reason a get a shift in my prints. About a few layers after the raft has printed.

      Could it be a bearing problem? I am questionning because it only happens on a certain point on the rods.
      1. mark tomlinson
        mark tomlinson
        Bearing or perhaps a bad rod. Changing the bearing is easier.

      What made you get a Robo C2, just curious.

        Really just wanted an better small/fine detail printer.
        Using the R1+ for that is a pain.

        Make sure the thermistor wires are connected to the RAMPS and not broken. If they are then it is a bad thermistor.

      My Robo 3d R1 1.4.0.5335 wont print STL file created in Punch V9, it downloads into print que, I can see the OBJects downloads the Printer Que, I can see the OBJECTS on the Printer Que Bed, but they don't print, the printer calibrates, then says PRINT FINISHED, print Another.
