Just wanted to Say THANK YOU

Hello Everyone

I received my printer on 10/13/14. I had a rough learning curve, and I can say without a doubt.
If this forum and the people on it did not exist I would have returned it.

I learned a few things since then

1: make sure the 2 screws holding the Y belt stay tight.
2: Macs (at least my mid 2011 mac mini) don't work so well with current version of Matter Control. But fine with Cura.

So in closing a big THANK YOU

I agree, this forum is a HUGE help. This is only my second post, but I've been stalking it for the better part of the last year. I've definitely learned quite a bit thanks to the people here. I just got my Robo3D on 30OCT2014, but thanks to what I've read here before and the problems I've googled and wound up back here, I've already been able to get a few good prints.

I can second what you said about the Macs. I was having issues getting MatterControl to work on my 2010 Macbook with Mavericks, so I rebooted into Windows for the first time in FOREVER and have been there for a few days. A few weeks ago, I found a computer and reformatted it. It works, but it's a little on the slow side and doesn't have wifi, so there's not really been much reason to use it. I think I'm going to dedicate it to my 3D printer.

 

Big thank you to everyone who has provided great tips, advice, cad files, upgrades and the random gcode how to's. Appreciate it a great deal!
