Got it. Thank you so much! But the guys are going back so I'll go tomorrow to get it. Now just need to source printed parts. Might go with Cerberus style using spectra. Hopefully OK.

Hi guys just checking with you all. I have a Prusa i3 I noticed that the mosfet gets really HOT when using the heated bed. Melted my connecter as it was touching it. Anybody tried using the 12v from RAMPS to trigger a relay which getting the 12v from the PSU and then feed to the heated bed and hotend? I have 2 outputs available on my PSU and my PSU is 30A. Thinking of changing it for the hotend and also the heated bed. Thank you.

I think I'll just keep from using the heated bed for now before I do modification to it.

Just sharing with you guys. Not sure if it's been shared here before or not. Just got my PLA from these guys:-

Global Manufacturing Solutions
No 6: Jalan 1;
Kawasan Perindustrian Hi-Tech 2,
Jalan Sungai Lalang,
Semenyih

RM64 for a spool of 1kg PLA. Quite nicely priced I think. They also have stepper motor with a nice price as well. The senior manager actually came down to see me which is a suprise. He mentioned that they are planning to manufacture their own hotend and also controller board. Anyway you can check their website website:-http://www.yumeprinter.com. Hope this helps.

So far I've printed about 20m of their filament. I don't have any experience using other filament but I feel the quality is quite good. The temp would be about 210-225/230. I tried running at 190-200 but the layers are not sticking. Running at 225/230 for the first layer and 210 for the rest, I experience no stringing and the print was good (at least for me). Hope this helps. You can do a pick up even for one spool if not you can order online from their store and they will send using GD Express with a charge. I was around that area so I just drop by and get it from them. Their manager who is incharge of 3D printing division even spent about 30 minutes talking to me.

You are printing using PLA and yet you are using temperature as high as 210-225/230? Your print wont stick to your printbed? Did you use any tape or a heatbed?

Guess I will bite and try a roll or 2 of their filament. In the mean time, i need to step on the brake. Been printing like crazy lately and i have almost finish 3 rolls of filament.  rclxub.gif

Nope not using a heat bed or tape. Just glass bed with a layer of glue stick. The first layer do stick to the print bed (maybe due to the glue) but between layers it doesn't stick. I tested increasing 5 degrees at a time until it stick well between layers. Maybe it's due to my thermistor position like was mentioned.
