R1's changed in Two Months

The broken printer is fixed, I see that in the short months of me owning one they changed some stuff. New couplers, limit switch is on carriage, stabilizer are built into case, AND THE RIBBON CABLE!!

I love the ribbon cable so much for the heated bed, swapped it as soon as I saw it.

 

Out of curiosity did you buy your original from robo?

 

Nah, also bought my original from the sales floor at my job

 

Do you by chance work at Fry's?

 

Marquis, I like the ribbon cable mod on the headed bed. Did you use special cable to handle the current required?

ME TOO!

but It's not a mod, this is just from the factory.

I'll be making a video on how to convert any heated bed to a ribbon cable with old IDE data cables soon.

To handle the load they run 3 wires for each side of the heater

Yes

 

Thanks, I thought it might have been something as simple as that.
I look forward to to the video. Would be good if you could also include some shots on how the factory version secures the ends

 

I liked that mine had the stabilizer builtin also. Unfortunaly I have to ship it back for a replacemen. Didn't even get to finish the set up before it blew my house circuit breakers

I liked that mine had the stabilizers are built in also. but unfortunately. I have to ship it back for a replacement. I didn't even have time to finish the set up before is blew my house circuit breakers. I made sure it was switch to 110 before I plugged it in.

I saw your video on replacing the power supply. where the you get I from.

 

I shop at circuit specialist http://www.circuitspecialists.com/12-volt-power-supply

You might be able to get one from Robot 3D though.

 

Whoa, and they are a lot cheaper too. Teacher bought them in bulk, maybe got a discount. But I'd buy them from amazon.

Any chance for a suggestion on a PSU with a quieter fan on it? or maybe just get an external unit?

 

Just buy a 30A 12v power supply off amazon. Or replace the fan with a 60mm x 10mm

 

They have a 80mm Arctic Alpine fan on Amazon that they claim you can't hear (22db). It's about $10. Frank

 

you can also use a pc psu. It won't fit inside but it is a hell of a lot quieter

 

@Marquis Johnson hey, I watched your videos and they are what made me decide on the Robo R1. Best printer ever!

 

yeah you can do it. It is a 60mm fan if i remember correctly. i personally bought a pc psu, it is way quieter and a little bit more powerfull.

If you whant to dismount the psu just make sure that the capasitors are empty. then just dismount the fan, cut the wires and do the reverse with your new fan
