My new +Plus

After getting off to a rocky start with a bad Y stepper motor, the printer runs great now, and Robo sent me a replacement for the stepper I used. So I'm happy with the customer support!

I've added the LCD and case, a spool holder and filament guide, the feet to raise it up higher. I replaced the small fan in the base with a quiet Noctua fan. Noctua doesn't make a fan that will fit the power supply so I ordered one that claimed to be quiet, but really isn't.

EDIT: Oh forgot, also added Raspberry Pi with Octoprint. And a Belkin WEMO to turn it off if I'm away.

My next two upgrades will probably be the e3D v6 and a PEI bed if PETg is not too hard to remove from it, which is what I will mostly be using.

 

really like your spool holder do you have a link for that maybe ?

 

It's a remix of a remix I did for my other printer. I'll be posting it on Thingiverse later in the week. Will post a link here when I do.

ok thanks

 

I like your filament guide design. Well done

 

Ok here's my Thingiverse post for the filament system if anyone wants to install it. I'll need to go back and touch up the description its late and probably missed something.

Very nice. I'll print it as soon as I can. I never liked the default location and the top mount wouldn't fit under my cabinet. I'm nervous about printing the spool adapter though. Any reason why it's not flipped the other way around to print?

 

Yes sorry about that, you do need to print it vertically, the side with the letters facing up.
