http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1979025

if you have made one as well please share mine is only basic i am learning

Hey nice I like it using a titan extruder as well how do you like the titan extruder it's on my wanted list and please keep us/ me me updated love the design looks very professional

Thanks for the info there's a metal supermarket close to me so send them a email for some 6mm Ali sheets and and there's a glass shop on the way so when I get a day off ill round up the parts thanks for the info.

Are you all using thick print plates I thought 5mm would be max are it would take to long to heat take it your using a 240v mains heater to get that to printing temp

that is impressive no glue are solvents to help whats it like with abs/nylons i want to print some tough parts in nylon

never thought of having a removal able print bed good idea i like it and as a removable plate i could use the 2mm ali plate has a heat distribution and go with glass and thicker ali plate
on glass i use cheap non perfumed hair spray Salisbury cost 40p a tin works great with pla and abs slurry for abs but is messy ive tried glue stick but the pond shops ones just make a big black mess thanks for the ideas anyone tried a mirror kind of like the idea for pla would look good while printing

hi completely off topic but bed chooses i currently have a 35x35cm 5mm mdf with silicon heated mat and topped by 2mm aluminum sheet on top (printing area)
held at the corners buy the normal spring and screws the thing is the hole thing is not flat anymore its bowing so im thinking of going back to 4mm glass as my printed bed
but ive had cracking problems in the past

whats in your opinion is the best thing to print on and the best way to attach to printing area

one thing i noticed sorry no tech guy here but are any of the motor wires crossing are touching as this coursed me problems

yes that was it
now looks like this
M92 X87.489 Y87.489 Z400 E420 ; Set steps per mm

hi i wipe out my firmware and reinstalled it added the panel-due still waiting on my ssr to turn up
anyway i have redone my setup got all the axes moving in the right direction and got them all to home correctly

the problem is if i ask x to move any distances the y axes drifts a little and the same vice versa i know it has to be a firmware issue as this never happened before i started fiddling

anyone no where i should start my search

thanks
bossac program did not work on my windows 10 even messing with compatibility setting DOH!!

anyway i dug out and old note book with vista on and the job is done happy days

(never thought id be happy to use vista)

thanks thats a great blog love the details and the pic do help
do the new v2 come with new firmware are do i need to update it

hi thanks for paneldue it arrived safe and sound today panel v2 first thing i want to ask before i touch anything is
i have the 7inch touch screen so the jumper pin needs to be left as 3.3v and NOT moved to 5v on the panel due board

also if you point me at a good place to set this up as i can not find much in the documentation
many thanks
