Sep '16 - Hi, As its an AC power (alternating current) its doesn't matter the polarity, so just connect it as shown in the picture. One suggestion, replace the p...
Sep '16 - Hi, If it was working fine in the past, check you wire and connector to the heater cartridge, just set the printhead to 240c and check the cables and c...
Oct '16 - Hi, Please cancel this relay board order! I would not recommend to use a normal mechanical relay for a DC heabed as it will make a lot of switching wit...
Feb '17 - If you don't need the extra functionalities like dual extruder and WIFI connectivity you can still buy an U2. Or consider a wanhao duplicator 6 it has...
Jul '16 - Szia Adám! Had the same issue with a rostock and the problem was that one arm was longer. But first check the bed with a aluminum ruler and a lamp ( pu...
Aug '16 - Hi, Can you please share your Cura start and end g-code there must be the problem. Its sounds strange that the head falls down after the motors are pow...

Dec '16 - Hi, Formbot has much better parts like ball screws on the Z axis, and linear rails in the Y axis. The X axis still uses derlin wheels, witch I don't li...
Jul '16 - Usually: Red is heater cartridge doesn't matter witch is witch (+ -) White is thermistor (heat sensor in head) also doesn't matter polarity. So connect...
Jan '17 - As your problem is solved already with the delta radius(my idea was the EEPROM stores the values and needs to erased to get new values work) I still ad...
Oct '16 - Hi, Did you managed to get this board working? i think the problem is with the USB communication chip. On a normal Arduino mega 2560 its a atmel 16u2,...
Dec '16 - Sorry to hear your story…but its quite typical with these kits. You should made your post to here much earlier, it would save you from a lot of headach...
Dec '16 - I would suggest this printer for 3.5K: https://www.raise3d.com/collections/3d-printer/products/raise3d-n2-plus-pre-order-fdm-3d-printer Much stable pri...
Dec '16 - Hi, 3D printers can work for days. The problems witch can occur: - Steppers motor or its drivers get too hot and will lose steps= lower the motor curre...
Dec '16 - Yes, stepper motors can act as generators, so if you move them by hand they will generate voltage, and power up the electronics. If you move to motors...
Dec '16 - Welcome! You made a bold decision! You will spend a lot a time with that machine until it will print in a good quality. Don't get frustrated its not th...
Nov '16 - Hi, Can we get some better pictures, sorry but cant really see the edge. Did you tried to print a normal cube to see how the edges are look like for th...
Dec '16 - Replace the USB cable first with a shorter one. And just try to upload a simple sketch from the file-examples menu. Usually the bootloader is failing w...
Dec '16 - Please only put a ball screw in the middle back if you can make a strong base for it. Forget linear rods, they are too week for such a force. The small...
Feb '16 - Hi, As I have started my 3D printer experience with a Rostock Delta, then built a Kossel mini. I can tell you these printers are great looking fast mac...
Oct '16 - Hi, You have done the basic calibration right. If there is a difference between the towers and the middle of the plate, you have to adjsut the delta ra...
Oct '16 - Ideas: 1 your extruder gear is not gripping the filament properly, clean the gear and make sure the bearing has higher pressure on the filament 2 the f...
Oct '16 - Hi, The motherboard is a Ramps 1.4, look for a replacement. After the connector was replaced on the current one it can be a spare one in the future. Th...
Oct '16 - Hi Andy, Its not a perfect kit, but if you can/willing to make it a better printer and you have the time to troubleshoot and tweak it, go ahead and ord...
Oct '16 - It will depend on the material you use, how it can handle bridging, with PLA it will work for sure if you don't try to print it fast. If your slicer su...
Oct '16 - Hi, If its a He3D printer it electronics should be "default" Arduino mega + Ramps 1.4 board. Do you have an LCD for it? Here is a Firmware for it, but...
