Australia and Japan

We'll all get there eventually, we just need to keep positive about it!

As i make improvements i'll keep you guys in the loop.

 

btw jimwahh, forum user 'Barancules' has made some good videos which he's posted on youtube for robo3d mods, including the printable spool holder that attaches in the top slot, essentially the spool sits perfectly over the top of the printer. I think its a good one.

 

i meant Barnacules, sorry

 

I have been meaning to check his vids out, thanks for that. I have a few bearings that I was planning to use so I may need to DIY or at least mod someone else's design. My only issue at the moment is that with the issues I am having it gets part way through a (small) print and then cools too much and pops off. I have tried to print my tiny little Z limit switch adapter about 5 times unsuccessfully so far.

 

I'm printing pretty reliably now.
Only mod I've made - Filament holder on top instead of side, and blue tape (when printing PLA).

Also I drop the first layer speed waaaaay down (I've got it at 15 mm/s) and manually adjust print head down until the plastic coming out is being just a little squished.

Plus I'm using Cura now. Seems a lot less complex than repetier.

(As you can see, getting some pretty prints)
