forgot the G28 X0 Y0… beginner issues
-
Title says it all. When G-29 is run the print head tries to go to x=10 y=10 and measure z, but when it moves it appears to slam into the end of the Y axis. It makes a painful noise and then continues with the bed leveling and print. When printing through Cura it works, but we can’t seem to get it to…

My coworker has the UP Mini and mostly loves it (she mostly wishes she had more control over temperature). However, another of my coworkers bought the Printrbot Simple and they both agree that given the choice the Printrbot is a better option. With that said the Up Mini was high on my list originall…

Thanks for the advice. I’m glad to hear positive feedback from a FF owner. Since starting this thread we’ve been going back and forth about what we want to spend. The Printrbot has the lead right now because of its relative price and the ability to upgrade it to compete with the FF at about the same…

Thanks for all this information. It sounds like the jot end is the first thing we would be replacing and I’m glad that it won’t be too difficult. How hard did you find it adding twin extruders?
-
I have very little experience with firmware, but I assume that if you upgrade to twin extruders you need custom firmware? (and is it correct to assume that the e3d hot end does not require any firmware adjustments to work?) Also, what, if I don’t sound stupid asking, is a drag chain?

Do you think the Flashforge is too much for a first printer? (we have printing experience, however no one has owned a 3d printer before) As one of the few people here with Flashforge experience I’m interested why you would choose it over other printers.

Rigidbot looks very interesting and reading about makes me want it to be all that it says it is. However in this case I can’t find a lot of reviews for or first hand experiences with the Rigidbot, and the ones I have appear mixed. From the sample of experiences I could find online it seems like the …

I looked into the rigidbot a little. I think we wanted to work with a slightly more established printer. I get the feeling the rigidbot has a lot of potential, but also has a lot of kinks that need working out compared to the printrbot and doesn’t have the same level of support. Does this sound accu…
-
Thanks for all the input. It looks like we’re leaning towards getting the Printrbot Simple Metal after all the support its gotten. We’re considering waiting on the heated bed, although we were looking forward to printing with both PLA and ABS.
-
We’d considered that option briefly and, although the logic isn’t totally sound, we decided that we’d rather not have the 3d printer be the project and instead wanted the 3d printer to accelerate our other projects. With that said, do you have a recommendation for a comprable reprap?

I am living in an apartment with four electrical engineering students, two of whom are relatively enthusiastic about 3d printing (one works for an up and coming 3d printing company). We are discussing buying a 3d printer for our apartment but have found a lot of inner controversy over which level pr…
