Eh? The nozzle is part of the heating block? I thought i read somewhere that its actually separate part. Anyway, thanks for pointing out that it is most likely too much trouble trying to switch the hotend/nozzle around all the time. I might as well get a second printer with a different nozzle size.

Have been looking high and low for a housing. Will try to look for it again tonight.

converted my mendelmax 1.5 to something diffrent, still need to recalibrate Z and bed leveling my inductive sensor decide to fail on me so have to manually level the bed now  , changed the heated to aluminum heatbed but I can't get the dam thing to heat up too 110c, I only able to heat it up to 80c never go beyond that I'm using 12v 30A power supply and only heating the bed my extruder have no problem getting to 230c seem the printer does not want to print ABS just yet 

plus last week the green ramps connector melted on me, I always see warning about the connector melting and I see it first hand , and any idea on the heat bed, don't really want to install back my mk2a heat bed to test lol

problem with those ebay sellers when I asked to ship with tracking they always say it expensive even thought I already said I willing to pay the shipping cost and yet normally they will just ignore my request and end up getting 2 star for my feedback

The proper term for G-code generator is slicer. I am using Cura 14 as the slicer and the host software is Octoprint on the Raspberry Pi.

IMO, easiest slicer and host to use is Cura and Pronterface (now called Printrun for the GUI version).

Other known slicers out there: Slic3r (Tons of parameters to play with) and KisSlicer.

Other host: Repetier Host and Makerware (works for makerbots only)

Firmware is a bit difficult to determine for my printer but as far as I know, it should be a heavily modified Marlin for the Printrboard Rev D.

manage to get my aluminum heatbed to heat up to 100c but it will never pass 105c, I have to bump up my power supply to 14v in order for it to get to 100c if the bed only getting 12v it will never able to reach 100c as claim by 3dprinter.my

Did contacting via email but never got any reply calling them always said need to check with technician not sure when but never got any reply ever since, adding no so good review on their product pages obviously wont get approved by them

to prove my point I connected the heated bed to a power supply directly and monitor the temp via my IR thermometer with 12v max it can go only to 90c, when I bumped the voltage 14v (equal to supplying more power to it) it able to ge to 105c and stop there

heated bed work fine if you printing PLA but if you guys plan to print ABS be aware that those aluminum heated bed sold by 3dprinter.my will not heat up too 100c with 12v power supply I guessing you will need at least 15v or probably 24v to the heated bed

Howdy guys!

Just wondering does everyone lubricate their outer side of their bearing from time to time? Mine seems to be rusting.

Guys,
Has anybody paied taxes on their Prusa i3 Full DIY kit Shipped from China?

Happny CNY to all.

Tried to first print ABS with my printer yesterday, the print was ok, but the smell jst horrible compred to P
LA. I read that ABS fume is toxic.

Does anyone printed with ABS before? How you guys deal with the fume and smell?

Hey man,
Where did you buy the kit?? Or did you assemble things yourself?
I plan on buying a kit I want to get most of things locally.

I was not planning to print ABS at all actually, Just heating the hotend to get it melt my PLA , the arrow show where some plastic leaked out, I haven't really got the chance to dissemble it yet from my printer, from the picture also you can see the thermistor location is badly placed from my point of view

I'll sent you PM

Sounds like a similar issue with mine and i have yet to figure out a solution for that. I tried swapping a new RAMPS and yet the mosfet in the new RAMPS seems to be over heating too.

That aside, does any one have a good spool holder which you would recommend? Printed out one over the weekend but it does not function that well.
