this is one of my more expensive projects, but more fun nevertheless. I have seen some protoypes a couple of years ago, but now it is a really hot item in the news: 3D printing.

The printer will be a reprap Huxley. A small portable printer.

Frame Assembly



Motor test

Before I wanted to continue working on the hot bed, nozzle and the extruder, I wnated to be sure that the motors are working properly. After setting it all up, and loading the software, it complained that the temperatures were wrong. Instead of removing the check in software, I added 2 resistors on the sensor inputs. The motors were running smoothly.

Hot end and wiring



Install software and settings
